Arts Series foi this semester also included a multimedia
presentation.
The evaluation will be admin-
istered by a student monitor in
tho absence of the professor.
The monitor will turn the forms
over to the head of each
academic department who will
keep the forms until grades have
been assigned. The department
head may examine the forms
before ho turns them over to the
professor.
Asked why the evaluation Is
not conducted every semester
Humble said "The main reason
is the amount of 7ork and
expense involved. The weakness
of this is that courses taught
only in the fall cannot be
evaluated. We may at some
point in the future add evalua-
tion for these courses."
Homecoming reflects 'Spirit' theme
Herb Butrum assistant in
development has announced
that the 1076 Homecoming
