Teachers Excited By
Student Grading
ROTC
The scene: the faculty dining room. The players: haggard, abject-
looking pedagogues. The time: Immediately before the "Bulldog
Supplement to the General Catalogue* goes on sale.
Dr. Shrdlu, biology, nervously: I know I'm going to get a C- ln
Introductory Animal. I dropped my folder of lecture notes on the
way to the first class, never did get around to rearranging them
and  now  111   probably  get graded down for lack of organization.
Dr. Beagleton, mathematics, patting his shoulder: There, there,
old man. At least you can remember the punch lines of your Jokes.
I lost points because I fouled up every story I told all semester--
and my wife has a fit when I bring home lousy grades.
McNutl: You poor fools! Why didn't you get smart like I did?
Psych out the students! Learn their weaknesses. I assigned every
sensational best-seller I could find ln cheap paperbacks, lec¬
tured ln four-letter words, caught cold Just as often as I could
so I could call off class and gave open-book true-or-false exams.

CaTs guide, "SLATE Supplement," sounds, ln fact, like the advice
any reasonably serious upperclassman would give a freshman enter¬
ing his department. ApparenUy the shock value of .such a publication
comes from its appearing ln published form where the professors
can actually see what the students have been saying behind their
backs for years.
Would the regular appearance of such a publication al a college
such as Fresno State mean the faculty would be subject to wild-eyed
and spiteful student reprisals because of Inherently difficult subject
matter or Irrelevant personality difficulties?
Why should it, if responsibly handled? As for the benefits, a re¬
