A&S Students To Evaluate Professors
similar program at William at'd
Mary College. Among questions
asked were what was the student's
grade average, was the instructor aware of current events in his
field f did he encourage class discussion, did he answer students'
questions, was he clear in his
speech and did he write clearly at
the blackboard?
It was emphasized by Terlman
last week that students filling out
the questionnaires would remain
anonymous. The results of the
evaluation would not be used to
intimidate professors In any way
and results would be strictly confidential, with professors receiving
onl ythe results of their personal
evaluations, Perlman added.
The purpose of the evaluation is
twher.
5C President Pete Perlman read to acquaint Instructors with any
h sample questionnaire used in a flaws in their instructional methods they are not aware of. In this
way they will be able to take steps
to correct these faults.

Pop's Not Too Important
A couple of interesting statements

about that sacrosanct creature whose
name sailors have tattooed on their
chests alongside Old Glory and the
words "Long May It Wave" cropped
up in the news recently, and we
thought we'd pass them along for the
benefit of our misogynous readers.
We allude, of course, to the American mother,
One expert said mothers ahead of
fathers by leagues determine how a
family's gifted child will turn out as
a student. Mothers, , the expert declared, are the ones "who go to the
encyclopedia to help look up the answers to tough questions, who take
the children to the museum, who encourage them to read more books."
After he has performed his initial
mating duties, .the father's relations
with the child apparently include only
teaching backyard sports and handing
Junior. his weekly dole.
This picture of the emasculated
male in an expanding matriarchy is
hideous enough, but yet another expert has added some comments (not

This expert says American women
are tired. Not tired because of raising

children, baking bread or sweeping
carpets the maid evidently does that,
these days but tired from running
hither, thither and yon to a plethora
of meetings, rallies, bazaars, showers,
bridge clubs, fund drives, lectures,
parties, teas, sundry soirees, quilting
bees, ad nuseam, that she comes home
plumb tuckered.
Thus we are faced with future
generations of children able only to
play baseball and fish, simply because
mother is too pooped to open the encyclopedia, suggest books to read or
answer questions with anything but
"Don't bug me, kid!"

We think that is is at all possible to get a new

bad shape. It looks somewhat like the
original flag Francis Scott Key was
writing about. It is faded; it is tattered; it is rustic; it is patriotic.
At any rate, the flag is something
that should be taken care of without

The Flag Is Waving
In newspaper circles we often hear
that discussions and prose on such
subjects as motherhood, the U. S.
Marines, matrimony, Girl Scout cookies and the flag are subject matter
not deserving of print on the editorial
page.
Perhaps this is true but the Kernel
has already discussed Girl Scout cookies this year (along with , a few
other things) so we feel its high time
to consider the flag.
More specifically, the flag in front
of the Administration Building.
We notice with pleasure tliat SC
passed a resolution Monday asking
"the proper authorities" to take action in regard to the flag. Indeed,
this was a progressive step by the
governing body.
Now the problem arises as to tvhat
"kind of flag we should have flying

Just Plain Anti
Or, Don't Like Anything
By HAP CAWOOD

The trouble with me

that I don't appreciate the good things around here.
No, I'm not talking about the birds
that sing or the flower's heaven and the
MfcO grow, but like higher opportunities,
higher sophistication, higher prices.
Or take, for instance, suntans. Down
the path, bulldoed through the snowbank, walks a girl, and although the
is

sun is only presumed existent since someone saw it months ago, she has a tan on
her face that makes her tongue look like
an albino oyster.
Granted that I would enjoy watching
the roasting process, but unless you can
pole-vaul- t
Holmes'Hall or you're visiting someone in Good Sam Hospital, you
might as well get out and build a tower
with tinker-toybecause the girls ami
housemothers
make ultimately - vffrile
fighters.
Still you must admit it's bad when
New York is
and you call to
your sunoplated chameleon girlfriend,
"Hey, Little Roxiel Russia's attacking!
Ike's finishing the eighteenth hole! Come
on!" To which she replies, as she throws
peelings at you, "Well hold them off a
while, you fat eyed lily! Can't you see
I'm sunning with fresh butter?" I should
appreciate their efforts.
s

Another thing I don't appreciate

is

downtown movies. Why not? look what
they offer: Indian weaved carpets, atomic
marquee signs, running water, sterile
ushers, and even a thin screen to do
its deed after each main feature so as to
assure you, "Yes, you fool, of course that's
the end of the story."
I ask the ticket girl, "How much does
it cost?"
Also virile, she asks if I'm being carried
in mother's arms. I say no, so she tells me,
"Five dollars down. That includes social
fees, union dues, gives you access to
candy bars lor 7 cents eath, and
curbs inflation by being uneducational."
And 1 still don't recognize the value.
To top it all, I have no civic pride.
I throw things on sidewalks, write fox-anhounds arrows on' walls, everything.
But UK built the Coliseum so tjie tall and
short happy Lexington people could be
d

entertained and get money from the
tourists we attract. Of course it's insignificant that the downtown banks won't
touch a student's check, that we hae to
pay them outrageous prices for mass retirement (don't worry about inflation
though; Lexington is going to vote in a
bill against motherhood). Orange juice is
cheaper on the Sahara Dcscit. But who
am 1? Hap Cawood, a fat happy person
full of the big sound. I suppose, your
stomach growls too sometimes.
Frankly, I'm getting so I don't even
appreciate Lile After Death anymore. I
was talking to an SC hand after he telephoned a cherub in heaven to ask what
the ruling would be if Albeit Schweitzer
(organist) and Grace Mctalious (author of
Peyton Plate, a Greek organization manual) were to reach heaven at the same
time but only one tould be allowed to
enter. Who would you pick?
Legally, neither could enter because
their angels have been wiiting about
goodie pciiods in the
their after-dancBook of Lile instead of blue books and,
furthermore, kit out some commas.
Nevertheless, in a mock trial, St. Peter
said, "Sorry Al, but Grace here turned
in a longer paper. We'd like to let you in
but, well, that's the curve system, you
know. Nasty break, Al."
However, I do appreciate the Kernel,
to which I am dedicated beyond repair.
Yesterday a home ec major killed 17 professors, a student sold his book lor purchase price, and Eisenhower beat Djii
Millott in a hopscotch match in front of
the Law Club. 1 thought it only appropriate that the next edition therefore blast
the AFROTC for not letting Christine
Jorgenson sign up.
At least 1 appreciate something.

Are Americans .Dubs?
Are We Smart Cookies?
By W. C. ROGERS, AP Arts Editor

Head Dr. Daniel J. Boorstin's new book about America, but read It by alternate pages.
That way you won't get to arguing with yourself.
On one set of pages, you find the author a ravening chauvinist Nothing Is wrong with America, In

fact we're about the smartest cookies in history.
On the other set, we're flops:
We can't paint, sculpt, think,
poetize, theorize, philosophize.
This exaggerates a little. And
in truth there is no real contradiction in his book. Instead, he gives
corollary, interdependent views of
two basic aspects of American life,
and he says that in order to be
Kood in one field, we've sacrificed
in the other.
The book's title Is "The Americans: The Colonial Experience"
A
(Random House) and In time there

i

will be two more volumes.
You should be warned, Dr.

is an alert talker, this author'
from the University of Chicago
faculty.
He's trying to say something very
complicated in words the average
reader can understand.
The historian's function, according to this former Rhodes scholar,
ence practicing lawyer and now
historian himself, is
"to speak not to his fellow his- -.
torians, but to his age."
Heretofore, American historians
had American eyes but had a
European cast in them; what they
aw was colored by the European
notion of what they should expect
to see.
They brought nothing to the
ftudy of their native land not
already brought to it by Dickens,
the Trollopes and de Tocqueville.
To Boorstin this was useless bag- gage. America needed to be looked
at by an exclusively American

He believes we came to our pres- ent advanced material success

is the result.
To our credit he puts the facts
that our society Is peaceful, we
