Suggestions Made To Better Instruction Instituting a learning-to-learn course, breaking courses into large lecture sections and publicly recognizing the out standing teacher in each college are among suggestions in cluded in a report by the Senate Subcommittee on Improve ment of Instruction to its parent committee. Part of this report was discussed last night by a panel of the sub committee members in the last of a series of lectures on 'Excellence in Teaching in a Large Univers ity." The series was sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Members of the committee— Ralph E. Armington, associate pro fessor of electrical engineering; Lawrence L. Werboff, assistant professor of economics; Henry A. Finch, professor of philosophy; Catherine Fisher, associate pro fessor of foods; and Amos J. Shal er, head of the department of Metallurgy gave their suggestions on improving instruction under five topics. They are: Teaching Students How to Learn, The Instructional Pat terns and Teacher Interest, Teacher Initiation, Encourage ment of Good Teachers and Interdisciplinary Understand ing. The discussion was moderated by committe chaiman Paul M. Aithouse, professor of agriculture and biological chemistry. Some students are said to get good grades because they have a system for learning, said Shaler. "I propose we teach it to other students because these are the tools of learning." He suggested a learning-to learn course which could be of fered to incoming freshmen in the summer or the first 8-week period of the semester. He said University experiments with courses of this nature had been successful and suggested using the subject matter of the orientation courses in the colleges as the vehicle for the learning-to-learn process. He said these courses would, of course, be an additional as sumption by the University of a bob high schools should be doing ut aren't. Aunnington suggested Chat since there are some teachers Education Student Council Elections Held in the HUB Clubroom By 80881 LEVINE who are more proficient in lec turing, some more proficient in conducting discussion classes and some more proficient in teaching laboratory work, the skills of these teachers could be best utilized by breaking some courses into large lecture sec tions and smaller discussion sections. Werboff suggested that - staff 1 meetings where all teachers con -1 cerned with a particular course could discuss the relevant consid erations of this course would help with problems of teacher initia / . tion. Mrs. Fisher pointed out that the University research worker has more of a chance to gain recog nition through publishing reports of findings and through awards than do teachers. She suggested that the Senate institute an annual award for the outstanding teacher in each col lege every year. This award, she said, would consist of a $lOO gift and an appropriate scroll to be presented at each commencement. Under the topic, "Interdisci plinary Understanding," Finch suggested faculty members give each other brief reports exhibit ing researches that each had done in his field. He said he felt this would promote under standing among members of each department.

PENNSYLVANIA Garbage Issue Characterizes Froth Humor Froth, the campus humor mag azine and somewhat of a joke in itself, lashes out at the Uni versity's favorite campus news- paper in its "Garbage Issue" out today. A special 8-page section called "The Dully Collegian" will at-I tempt to capitalize on the format, which has proven successful for, Collegian for the past 54 years. Exactly what's in the special) section is a well-kept secret. At tempts to find out this informa-1 tion yesterday proved fruitless when the magazine's office was 'called and no one answered. The editors are apparently in hiding Froth salesmen, who live by P. T. Barnum's motto, "There's a sucker born every minute," will be out in full force today at the usual places—the Hetzel Union ,desk, the Corner Room, the bulle tin board on the mall, Waring ;lounge and a new location, the 'University dump. The issue promises little except that it will probably drive people away from Froth in droves. 7 Councils To Continue Elections Elections for upperclass student council seats enter the second day today for seven student councils An eighth council, Physical Education Student Council, will begin voting today and continue tomorrow in the physical educa tion classes.
