Page Four CUB Interviews "Frosh" by Charly Lee Presently there are 704 freshmen enrolled at Behrend campus, CUB reporter Charly Lee interviewed several of Canada, California and Brazil. To get their reaction to the campus, Cub reporter. Charly Lee interviewed several of them, and here is what they had to say: Robert Mangels (Sao Paulo, Brazil): "Being interested in soccer, (but a bad player), I was very happy to have been able to enter the Behrend team. I was up here five years ago and was very much surprised at the de velopment which has taken place —the two dorms and the RUB. Maybe it would be better if each dorm had half men and half women!" • 'Diane Polansky (Silver Springs, Maryland) : "I think the Behrend Campus is really nice. The peo ple up here are the most gen uinely friendly people I have met in a school; Orientation Week was • quite enjoyable and the activities were a lot of fun.." Blafi:tindes (Tarzana, Califor nia): "I' found Behrend to be sort of• an up-tight' place as far as traditionalism is 'concerned. But 'the - Peat:tie here seem to be free and friendly. Although the carpus is' -small, the people make it seem as big as U;C.L.A. All in an, it doesn't seem • like a bad place- to spend some time." James Penall (Natick, Mass.) : "My first impression of the cam- OPENS OCTOBER 17 by Neil Simon )PENS NOVEMBER 28 by Max Frisch Music and Lyrics by Rodgers & OPENS MARCH 13 by Paddy Chayefsky pus was exactly opposite to what I expected. I thought the school in Erie would •be a city e2Tnpus. The kids are really friendly, which I knew because I lived in Pa. during the summer. I like it here." David Stewart (Beaconsfield, Quebec): "I was impressed with the campus the first time I saw it because it looked casual. The entertainment here has been fine the first week, and I'm happy about all the extra-cur ricular activities' to choose from." .Bonnie Pate (Arlington, Vir ginia): "Behrend is quite differ ent from what I expected. My high school had 2,500 students, and I sort of expected Behrend to be as large. Behrend's a lot warmer "thongh. • More people seem to know each other. I really like it an awful lot . . . and the countryside is the great est!" • ' 1 • It can be • ' clearly seen from these comments that Belu'end is accepted as' - a warm, friendly and capable place of higher edu cation by the freshmen. OPENS MAY 1 l OU KNOW I CAN-1 s.HEARYOIIwiIavE %MS Mkt by Robert Anderson Univ. of Rochester To Develop Method To Evaluate Profs. Rochester, N. Y. (12.)—The University of Rochester has been awarded a grant to develop a re liable method for evaluating the teaching effectiveness of college professors. The study, funded by $26,563 from the Esso Education Founda tion, is the first to compare three methods of evaluation currently used on campuses, around the country. They are: opinions of deans and department chairmen; opinions of colleagues; and student evalua tions by questionnaire. Of the three, only student evaluations have t*en shown to be relia• ble in previous studies. The other meth ods have never been tested. On most campuses teaching evaluation is based on the opinions of deans and department chair men, according to an American Council on Education study. Opin ions of colleagues and reviews of scholarly research are also widely used. "Most universities don't make any formal attempt to find out whether a person can teach or is teaching," said Associate Professor George Benton, who is co-direct ing the study. "Unless we can develop an evaluation procedure which is ac cepted by faculty and students and implemented by university administrators, the resources of our universities -might not be di rected sufficiently to teaching un til, perhaps, student unrest forces a change," said Benston.

A Time For Conscience Living is not an easy thing even for the simplest of men. Sur7, rounded by screaming mothers or enraptured by the sweet smell of a lover's body, men often find life a perfunctory task rather than a meaningful existence. Men worry about tomorrow's, raise in pay . and next year's automobile models. Women talk of love lost as they , praise the pill. This life of ours, possessed by technology and rapid change, holds at least one common element with .generations' of men . bel-;' fore us.

Men will die, countries will find new ,power or lose: it; and other wars will be fought to reconcile the .insufficient .peace' .formulas. One can rarely, then, attack war on its causes. To each nation its reasons are just, rational, and necessary for the maintenance of.. security. Soine pious critics of war have even questioned the goal of national security as a viable reason for waging war. Yet as. long as nation-states remain the components of the international world, security and interest of the state may hold precedent over the philosophical desires of a pacific populace. In the media today some would rip open a man's moral heart and call recent conflicts immoral. Vietnam is a case in point. To the emotional moralist Vietnam is an. immoral war which kills children, destroys life, and imposes America on Southeast Asiang. Yet even as they cry about this war, they find some wars ethically more acceptible than others such as W.W. If man cannot refute war morally, as all men find their own standards of right and wrong when in conflict, and one cannot deny wars have causes just and meaningful to those that wage them, then where is the answer for man to strike from . the score of civilization the sound of war. In this age, it appears each man can turn only to his con science. Often petty worries overcome the wish to reflect on our (Continued on Page 5) SEASON '69 by Stephen J. Cohen
