TEACHER EVALUATION (contd.) Dr. Stevens salary increases, one must have input from other sources,’’ said Johnson. ‘‘At the present time, faculty members have the option to go before a review board if they want to use the form for promotion purposes,”’ said Dan Doran, physical education instructor here. “‘The original purpose of the Evaluation sheets were set for selfimprovement of the teachers and their teach- ing methods, not for promotion,” stated Doran. Dr. Stephens added, ‘‘At the time, the forms’ pri- mary purpose is for evaluation, not promotion.” Tom Lordan, SGA president, said, ‘‘The Eval- uation sheets are fair, although I think that the results of the forms should be posted publicly with the teachers names on them. The results should be available to the students.’ Carl Schumaker, a full time day student, said, ““There should be more improved questions with an individual questionnaire for each course.” He also was in agreement with Lordan, in that the results should be published publicly, with the teachers name on them. Stuart Levin, an R.0.T.C. cadet, said, ‘‘The Teacher Evaluation Forms are not our responsibility to fill out, it is a school responsibility. Edward Warda, an instructor of Humanities and German, said, ‘‘The forms have helped me quite a bit, "especially the essay questions.”” He believed that the publication of the results should be left up to the individual faculty member. The general student concensus concerning the Teacher Evaluation Forms has been the belief that their instructors are doing an excellent job, to the best of their ability. The major problem lies in the fact that the pub- lication of results with names on it, is at the mo- ment, void. Pool Plan Plummets By Joan Mazzella Three years ago a co-operative plan was proposed by the Easter Seal Foundation concerning a swimm- ing pool to be built at the site of the Old Forge School on Yearsley Mill Road. At that time it was little more than an idea. By mid-1971 the plans were on paper and Dan Doran, physical education instructor here, appointed representative for Penn State, met with the committee for consideration. Mr. Cling, an architect, suggested a heart-shape for the design. This would not meet University specifications in the swimming course for physical education credit. The rectangular, four-to-six-lane pool needed would be more costly, possibly reach- ing a thousand dollars for each additional square foot. This problem has sent the plans back for more research in finding funds to support either of the two shapes. Doran will attend another meeting to be held soon for the final decision. Depleted Funds Halt Construction By Joan Mazzella According to John Vairo, campus director of Penn State University, Delaware County campus, the subject of further building is a ‘‘matter of money.” Due to the decision of John C. Pittenger, state secretary of education, a moratorium on buildings has been declared. All construction has been halted until re-evalua- tion can take place. The only advancements being made are renovations or replacement of standing facilities. Vairo explains that until the funds of the state are sufficient, there can be no expanding of this campus. A system of priorities has been set up so that the projects considered of the greatest impor- tance will be on the top of the list, when money is being allocated. Projects now under construction here include the new parking lot which is expected to be complet- ed within the next month. It will accommodate be- tween 250 to 300 cars. A gym is not in the future since it, too, is dependent on the ordinance con- cerning buildings. Possibilities of a pool to be shared with the Easter Seal Foundation is being researched. Despite the great potential of the Delaware cam- pus, its future seems destined to be static for some time.
