Political images have been taking a beating lately.

John F. Kennedy's father was
able to give each of his many
children $1 million on their
twenty-first birthdays but also
prodded them to prove that they
were worth his investment.
Lyndon B. Johnson also suffers
little financial hardship while
adding his senatorial salary to
the income of his LBJ ranch in

On the Republican side of the
ledger, Richard M. Nixon is a

Nixon's father was able to con

S i urvey Shows Teachers
Opposed to Merit System
A sample survey taken recently
at the University indicated that
teachers do not favor the merit
rating system, which has been in
stalled in some school districts as
a way to reward quality teachers
and an incentive to improve the
,quality of teaching in the public
Ischool system.
Under the merit system each
teacher is observed and evaluated
and his rating determines the size
of any salary increase other than
the annual state increment.
The merit system, which was
started in some states after
World War I but later dropped
by most of them. has recently
elicited controversy in Pennsyl
vania and other states.
A few school districts in the
state are currently using the sys
tem.
