STUDENT FACULTY "SESSIONS" PURPOSED The comment "I did not get on thing out of that class today" or ones similar to this are heard frequently on the Behrehd Campus. The stu dents and faculty generally do not communicate will with each other, and considering the com paratively small enrolement of the campus this should not be so. Students feel that the fac ulty are some sort of "super profs" to whom they are incapable of speakinglin and out side of class. Students could offer some profs and profs could offer same students constructive criticism to improve the rapport of the class and thereby allowing the student and instructor to gain more from' the valuable time spent in class. It is the suggestion of the Nittany Cub, the students and faculty, hold sessions each week common hours for the purpose of discussing and offering honest constructive criticism on' how to improve the general classroom attitudes, and why these attitudes exist in the particular class. _ It should be so planned that each instr uctor conducts a least one session, and that any student who wishes to offer advice can do so without feeling apprehensive. Hopefully this suggestion will be given some serious thought by both the SGA, the repreentatives of the students and the faculty.

But I don't feel that the paper or the majority of students appreciate the work of the Student Government members. must remember that these are students also with the same academic problems. They +lsn't get very enthusiatic about working above themes and test study and text reading When all they get for theirs efforts is constant, and sometimes unjustified critisism. Perhaps pat ting the man on the back would push them in the right directions.

The first variable being the construction. This was supposed to be completed November 1; so construction should be done almost any day. The next variable is inspectiond by University Park and by the Federal Government. These in spections could take days or weeks depending on the findings - ef the Inspectors.
