More Effort In
^Teaching' Needed
We think that every paper required of a student should be
carefully corrected and returned to him. While most papers
get adequate attention, some do not
The correcting: process is an intrinsically natural part of
learning:. From kindergarten (earlier in fact) to university
post-graduate work, ample use of correction is and must be
applied to learning.
We offer that a college student cannot progress satisfac¬
torily if his professors fail to return his papers carefully
corrected. The serious student will study his corrected papers
diligently to determine the why and wherefor of his errors.
From this study he may learn his memory failures and his
areas of inadequate preparation as well as a more compre¬
hensive understanding of what the course demands and the
professor expects. From this information, grades should im¬
prove and thinking processes should be strengthened.
We submit further that when a professor falls to give
detailed correction to a student's papers he is remiss in his
work. The full benefit of the professor's knowledge and
thinking is not made available to the student.
In our opinion there should be one criterion for any meet¬
ing a professor must attend. Will it improve the instruction
process? There can be no neutral answer. Failing to contri¬
bute to improved instruction, such meetings, by taking time
the professor could put to better use, stealthily undermine
the quality of instruction. Under such condition a serious re-
evaluation of meetings is in order.
Quality of instruction surely declines when professors lack
time for the prime job of instructing — time to prepare
lectures and time for detailed correction of papers..

Election Code
Needs ^Teeth'
Soon campaign posters will dot the campus as electioneer¬
ing begins for Student Body Offices for next year.
And when campaigning starts, there will be illegal devices
used. There will be violations of the too-strict election code.
Candidates will put their posters too high, make them too
big, and others will not put them in the right places.
But the tragedy is that candidates will violate every stipu¬
lation of the code and still possibly win the election. They
will be fined, and they will gladly pay the fines to garner a
few extra votes. The candidate who can't afford to shell out
cash will not get the publicity, hence he will not get the
votes.
The election code is supposedly designed to place each or
all candidates on an equal basis in vote-getting power, but it
actually adds impetus to the advantage of uncontrolled cam¬
paigning.
*  Is this democracy on the campus?  '
Until the election code is strengthened to disqualify delin¬
quent candidates the problem will still exist
If an etection code is necessary, it should be rigid and
inelastic. It should leave no loopholes to be squeezed through
by shrewd and dishonest campaigning.
Flood Of Fine Arts
Concerts here, lectures there. Cultural events everywhere.
Fresno State students have no reason to complain this
■ semester for want of cultural activity.
The Board of Fine Arts should be commended for the
interesting and varied calendar of (programs being offered
which supplement dances and regular athletic events,
Friday night the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity
and thi/Mu Phi Epsilon Sorority presents "The Evolution of
Music" at 8 PM in the Little Theater.
Folk singer Suzanne Bloch performed yesterday.
Next Friday night Phillip Hansen gives a recitation of the
works of Fresno author William Saroyan.
Next Tuesday folk singer Elmerlee Thomas and guitarist
Jim Wood perform at 1:10 PM in the men's gyra.
The climax to this crowded cultural calendar occurs Mar.
17 when the Stan Kenton Orchestra, June Christy, the Town
Pipers, and Miss'California of 1961, Fresno's Sue Henryson,
gather to present an "Evening of Jazz" in the Roosevelt High
School Auditorium.
The Board of Fine Arts has done more than its part It
ia evident that the Board has been unusually active, and has
made a big contribution to making the 50th year of the.

Professors...
Take Notice!
By Blaine Handell
Q. What makes a "good" Instruc¬
tor?
Chuck Schultx, senior elementary
educaUon major.
"A good instructor has a good
knowledge of his subject
and has the ability to put lt
across to his students. The two
key words are knowledge and
communication,"
Sally Vet-den, freshman general.
"The difference lies ln tbe way
the  Instructor presents  his sub¬
ject. He msy know everything
der the sun, but he still has lo
communicate to the class.
"Whether or not I like a class
often depends greatly on tbe attl-
tude of the Instructor toward me,
and accepting the fact that I am
not as well versed on the subject
ltudy   Uebl,   senior   criminology
"Being able to lecture without
using too many notes. I like pro¬
fessors that can give good Illus¬
trations and examples. They
should be able to talk about
things from a practical viewpoint
and personal experience.
"I alao-appreciate an Instructor
that stops talking long enough to
let students ask questions.
"If the opportunity presents !
self, the professor might offer
field trip to help make the coin-
more interesUng."
Jeanne Welton,   freshman  social
science  (credential)   major.
"Some of my instructors are
not teachers; they know a great
deal about their subject, but they
don't know how to present It.
Probably some of the profs could
stand a few education courses.
"What Influences me also Is the
professor's attitude toward his
subject matter."
Nancy Nuttall,  sophomore  Span¬
ish major.

"A good Instructor Is a good

structors this semester, but I
especially like a professor who
makes the class Interesting by
speaking without notes or some¬
times off-the-cuff.
"I like class participation, too.
I think students should be given
an opportunity to express their
own Ideas."
Mich nt I   McKitimi,   senior   econo¬
mics major.
"I like an instructor that will
bring out his own ideas ln his
class- lecture. The books can get
awful dry, 1 appreciate a prof who
Is able to offer his personal views.
"Here Is something else. An
Instructor who knows his subject
will be able to suggest supple¬
mentary readings that.are geared
towards student Interest."
