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.

To the Editor:
As a student who feels close to this campus Eileen Bowden Reporter
and interested in its functions I'm concerned
about the SGA. 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.

must first consider some of the variables.
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

the findings - ef the Inspectors.
Considering these few v a riables the build

December 1, 1967 to May 1, 1968.
