proposal All-University President
Hobert Bahrenburg said he will
make before the University Sen
ate next month.
Judith Hance, president, pro
posed the suggestion, saying that
she had already talked with Dr.
John R. Rackley, dean of the
college, and that he had offered
to take any council suggestion
regarding the matter to Univer
sity Senate. •
Discuss Course Revision
Miss Hance also called for dis
cussion on a program for course
revision, and asked that council
members write out any suggest
ions of their own and present
them at the end of the meeting.
The council also discussed plans
for handling a course evaluation
sheet to be used throughout the
education college. The sheet
would be filled out by students
at the end of the semester.
Some of the members felt that
a system should be worked out so
that the professor would not be
able to see the evaluation sheet
until after he had made out the
grades. They explained this would
eliminate bias toward any stu
dent who found fault with his
teaching.
Noyes Gives Views
William G. Noyes, faculty ad
viser, said that he felt that the
teachers should be allowed to see
the course evaluations after he
had turned in his grades.
He said that he felt the evalu
ations should be filled out out
side of class so the students could
take more time to answer them
completly and so that valuable
time would not be taken from one
of the last class periods before the
final examination.
Myrna Paynter, junior from
Kennett Square and co-chairman
of coffee hours, said that the next
two coffee hours would be held
Nov. 28 and Dec. 20 from 4 to 5
p.m. in dining room A of the Het
zel Union.
NSA Ideas Presented
Katherine Dickson, vice presi
dent and council representative
to the National Student Associa
tion Convention, brought five
suggestions from the convention
which she said were appliCable to
the council. The suggestions will
be discussed at a later date.
The suggestions were:
Summer camps for the purpose
of discussing and revising the
curriculum with the faculty.
A big sister and brother system
with upperclassmen in the col
lege writing to in-coming fresh
men the summer before they en
tered college.
Scholarships Could Be Offered
Presentation of scholarships to
students who could not afford to
come to college under any other
circumstance.
An enrollment stimulus pro
gram whereby students in various
schools and departments would
travel to high schools and speak
to interested students.
An active sponsorship of a lec
ture forum, which provided in
teresting speakers.

In an effort to maintain the
quality of its product, the Wise
Potato Chit Company has offered
a grant of $2500 a year to the
College of Agriculture to help
research in this field.
The grant will provide for a
graduate assistantship beginning
next July 1, and will be urder
the direction of Dr. W. R. Mills,
professor of plant pathology.
Dr. Mills, who has been work
ing closely with horticulturists
from the Wise Company for the
past three years, is trying to de
velop new varieties of potatoes
that will- make good potato chips.
Dr. Mills says "most of the
varieties of potatoes used by
growers do not make good chips"
since "most of them develop a
dark color when chipped."
He further said that "if a potato
is genetically not suited to chip
ping, there is nothing you can do.
