The SUB will be presenting
"Your Father's Mustache" at
Erie Hall, on Saturday,
February 26, 1972. Tickets
will be $l. with activity cards
and $2. without.
By now you've probably
seen some of the zany promo
that's been used to spread the
word. 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.
To do this the group itself

Holds Session
This Saturday
The "Liberator" will hold a
work session at 9:30 a.m. on
Saturday at the Wesleyville
United Methodist Church. This is
a paper produced by students
who believe Christ is the answer
to man's needs and have felt His
effect in their lives. -
All talent is needed but there is
a special demand for writers,
artists and typists. Born-again
Christians are invited to submit
testimonies of their rebirth.
Letters to the editor, questions
about the Bible and articles on
why the Bible is relevant to
everyday life are welcome.

must be imaginative and
artistic. Bob Adams, the lead,
plays tenor banjo and
provides the impetus that a
tight knit group needs. Bob,
who is originally from New
York, has a varied
background which includes a
short stint as a commercial
fisherman. Banu Lee Gibson
(her mother named her after
an ancient Arabian Princess)
is the lead singer and
choreographer of the group.
A native of Florida, she once
supported herself making
Hawaiian leis. 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.

brand of entertainment;

New Faculty Evaluation
Draws Varied Opinions
by Becky LaPlante
Staff Reporter
In a recent interview with
Al Quinlan-Student govern
ment association president
the exact purpose of the
upcoming faculty evaluation
was brought to light.
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.

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

The Behrend Players will

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.
