SG A sets
teacher evaluation
The Teacher 'Evaluation is currently being conducted at
Highacres for the benefit of you, the students. We have discussed
the evaluation in idea and form with the faculty and have arrived
at the current edition of the evaluation. These evaluations, if
objectively and honestly completed by you, will prove to be a
valuable tool in informing us of faculty abilities in the concept
that faculty progress in generating education occurs only when
there is successful communication between the students and the
faculty. This is what we hope to measure by this survey...student
comments and criticisms qf faculty must be given a chance to
generate the overall improvement of education which is the
potential of this survey.

"How do you do it, Brian? How do you get such good grades
in your exams? You never study! You never even open up a
book! You're never in one place long enough to study! What's
your secret??"
Carl studied Brian's face as his verbal barrage assailed him.
There was an enigmatic expression upon his lips: a smile that was
not a smile. Carl was reminded of the smile of the Buddha. It was
a smile of hidden knowledge. Brian's long brown hair fell over his
forehead with no apparent pattern, his soft brown eyes peeking
out from between the strands. Even his eyes seemed to hold a
secret glint of mystery, that same look of hidden knowledge.
Brian thought for a few moments, then spoke with a voice
containing a tinge of elfish laughter.
"You won't believe me if I tell you," he said, his expression
revealing that he was considering exposing his secret.
"The reason behind your high grades with your apparent lack
of study couldn't be any more unbelievable than the fact itself!"
Carl retorted, anxiously hoping Brian would finally come through
with the answer to the question that had plagued him since they
first became friends.
Brian's eyes suddenly became dead serious.
"It's all very easy," he said. "I merely use my extra-sensory
capabilities more than most people."
"Huh? Are you trying to tell me you use...you use ESP?!"
Brian's expression revealed that that was indeed what he was
trying to tell Carl.
"1...1 don't believe it!" Carl spurted out, but somehow he
sensed that Brian was not kidding.
Brian looked at the incredulous expression on Carl's face. He
laughed, and ventured even more information.
"During an exam, if I don't know the answer..." he paused,
playing up to Carl's astonishment to the utmost, then said,
pulling Carl closer with his arm as if to tell him a secret, "I read
the teacher's mind!"
Carl stared in disbelief.
"And," Brian continued, "if the answer is far from the
teacher's thoughts, 1..." he looked to his left and right, and then
behind himself, as if to make sure no one were listening, then
whispered, "I read the thoughts of the smartest student in the
class!"
Carl saw that even though Brian was making a joke of the
whole thing, he was nevertheless telling the truth. This thought
struck him strangely. Carl shivered involuntarily in light of the
uncanny story his seemingly normal-in-all-other ; respects friend
was telling. His mind was disturbed.
"I see your mind is disturbed," Brian said.
"I suppose this really isn't the time to tell you that if, by
reading the teacher's and students' minds, I still can't find the
answer, I go directly to the source. If it's a physics problem I read
the mind of an eminent physicist. For a history question, a
knowledgeable historian's mind will do."
Carl's mouth was hanging open. Finally, all he could manage
to say was, "How?!"
"How did I learn to use my extra-sensory perception? It's no
secret, really. The knowledge of hove - to do it is not hidden. In
fact, it's readily available. All you have to know is where to look.
If you have the interest, that is. Anyone can do it."
Carl thought over what Brian had said.
"But," he spoke after pondering a few moments, "But, what
you're doing...it's cheating!"
"Cheating?" Brian said in response. "I think not. I'm not
looking at anyone else's paper. I don't have the answers written
on the inside of my eyelids'or anywhere. I'm just using my own
abilities to discover the correct answers.
"Look, what are we trying to do in college? We're trying to
gain knowledge...we're trying to find the answers to questions.
Well, that is what I'm doing...l'm finding the answers to
questions."
Be saw he was not on the same wavelength as Carl, and he
tried another tactic.
"It's only incidental that I use others' minds for my
acquisition of knowledge. Sometimes I extra-sensorily perceive
the answers from my own books, reading them telepathically
instead of with my eyes.
"And there are other ways. It's hard to explain, but there's
sort of an extra-sensory
"level" above the "normal" ESP level, and contained on this level
is...well, everything!_ All knowledge! Sometimes I just tap that
stream of knowledge with my ESP to gain knowledge."
— But, it's not..." Carl groped for a word, "it's
not...INTELLECTUAL! You're not using your MIND."
Brian chuckled at this.
"Of course not. I'm using something HIGHER than my
intellectual faculties. What can be better than getting pure,
unadulterated knowledge directly from the source? At will! If I
can do this, of what use is a book to me?!"
Editor-in-chief
"What if everyone could do what you are doing," Carl said
excitedly. "If everyone was taught to use his ESP in addition to
his ability to read, why...why a whole class could learn by reading
the thoughts of its teacher!"
Brian shook his head negatively.
"Sure," he said, "but who would need it? If everyone used
his ability to gain direct perception of knowledge, who would
need a teacher?"
Carl meditated upon this revelation.
f people can do this," he formulated a question,
- then...then what's the sense in going to college?!"
"You tell me. What'?" Brian echoed.
