But zany is not the right word to use for "Your Father's Mustache"—exu berant would be better. The group comes on stage with a vitality and enthusiasm which constantly builds during the entire length of its per formance. The uniqueness of the group is astounding. They use the 1920's as a starting point and then involve the audience in a potpourri of songs, dances and comedy which spans the ages from the Baroque to the Beatles.

Dan Howard is the technician of the group. He plays tuba and is responsible for the animated arrangements used by the group. Hoyt Cory is the plectrum banjo player who doubles on washboard. Originally from New Jersey, Hoyt has traveled all over the world (including USSR and Africa) and is a fairly ac complished sculptor. Last but not least is Christine LeDain, the famous red-headed trombone player. Chris has been playing the trombone since- she was eight years old, which according, to her, was only ten years ago. There is a simple reason why she started playing. Back in Appleton, Wisconsin (home of the Great Houdini) the grammar school band needed trombone players and she was unceremoniously "volunteered" for the job. Aside from the T-Bone, she is also proficient -at the piano and flute.

Asked about the reason for initiating this evaluation, Quinlan stated; "Students are extremely tired of taking a teacher from whom he learns very little, therefore; because of the many com plaints from the students SGA feels an obligation to help those students as much as we can so they are able to find out which faculty members are thought well of by other students. We feel that this evaluation by the students is a fair criteria to use in judging the value of a faculty preciate it. Why not take advantage of this op portunity? You owe yourself a night of real revelry. The SUB movie of the week is "The Best House in Lon don." Shows will begin at 7 and 9 p.m. in the RUB Lecture Hall. Price of admission is 35c with an activity card and $l. without. "The Best House in Lon don" is a gaudy-bawdy period comedy, overflowing with puns, double entendres and racy dialogue, which stars David Hemmings,- George Sanders, Joanna Peters, and Dany Robin. Problem? Whether to get the excess of prostitutes off the streets (by teaching them a trade) or allow a discreet bordello to operate on a trial basis. Rallye Winners The Student Union Board wishes to announce the winners of the Winter Road Rallye. Firsts were taken by Ray Geiger and Colleen Amann. Second place was captured by Sam Bernik and Patti Kissinger. It seems several cars did not finish due to an unusual number of ditches that jumped into their paths. Anyone caught lending their activity card to another person will have to pay a $2.. fine to get it back. Movie Penalty member. Even though we realize that this evaluation may result in little change in procedures by faculty members, we still must help the students. Our basic aim is to publish a report made up of these evaluation results which will be distributed to the students for their own use." Don Gerber, SGA member, gave some insight into some aspects of the work involved in preparing this survey. The basic form of the question naire was taken from a Youngstown University evaluation sheet. From this sheet, other questions were developed. Each multiple choice question has five an swers. The questions and the percentages of each question answered will be published in the results. Gerber stressed that this evaluation is primarily for student use. After reading a copy of the evaluation to be used, Dr. Richard Tomsic, president of the faculty senate, stated that the evaluation "could be helpful in telling the in structor how the student views him.", but ". . . the evaluation does not go into enough detail in some things. Some of the questions really don't evaluate the instructors. ..they are aimed more at the student's attitude toward the courses." Dr Tomsic feels that although the evaluation is well written, it serves the purpose of informing the student rather than helping the teachers. The faculty Players To A Comedy The Behrend Players will present "`Mother Always Said" an original comedy revue with music, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, February 24,25, and 26 at 8 p.m. in the Studio. Price of admission is 75 cents. The revue consists of a series of comedy sketches, blackouts, and musical numbers. The show was written by and production directed by James A. Flaherty. A number of the topics are contemporary, such as: Pollution in Lake Erie, featuring Mark Bodycombe and Sue Spoke; Women's Lib, centering around the saga of Fearless Freda; Martha Mitchell, the - mouthy Southern belle being played by Campus News Shorts Students who had their I.D. card photos taken last term may pick them up in the Instructional Services Department in Behrend 119 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. next week. Those who had their photos taken in the past three weeks will be notified as to when their cards will be ready. Thursday, February 24,1972 needs an evaluation that they can feel confident in and be able to use to improve their teaching. Dr. Tomsic made a statement regarding the general opinion of the faculty saying that "the opinions are mixed." Tomsic said it would be very difficult to create a perfect evaluation. The faculty feels that there is no good definition of what good teaching is. Therefore there is no standard by which to base the results. This "mixed" feeling was evident in a statement made by Mr. Rossi, instructor in mathematics. Rossi stated that an evaluation of this sort "involves too many variables. Students who haven't had any previous college professors have nothing to use as a basis for comparison when taking an evaluations." Dr. Patashnick of the Graduate Center also made a statement as to the value of this type of evaluation. His initial reaction was that the evaluation will be beneficial but he feels that it will aid the students much more than it will the teachers. For all intents and purposes, Patashnick stated that this evaluation will help in aiding the students in their selection of instructors. He contended that, before labeling a teacher as poor because of his performance on the evaluation, the instructor should be given the time and the chance to improve his teaching methods.
