Kenny Rogers Homecoming tonight V .LX I-No. Is8 UnIversity of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. 29208 SGA elec with threi After incorrect printing and computing of ballots, followed by recounting of four Senate seats, Student Government elections will continue today. Runoffs for undecided seats will be held from 9-6 today in the Russell House. Treasurer's fee receipt cards and ID's will be required of all students, according to Jim Stewart, elections committee chairman. He added no write-in candidates will be accepted today. The districts and candidates are as follows: Men's Towers--District 1: Mack Howard, Daniel Speights, Off-campus Arts and Science District 14: A & S e1 to be rele Ry CIIALES F EL,LFNBAUM Staff Writer The problem-plagued evaluation of the faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences will sobn be released. But students will not see specific evaluations of professors or courses. In a letter to all USC faculty members, Scottie Barnes and Carlton Larmon of the evaluation committee advised that "it is the feeling of all persons involved in this evaluation that this data should be used with discretion." Problems arose because of "incorroct section and class coding of half of all completed answer sheets by those completing them," " errors made in printing the questionnaires." and "the unavoidable rescheduling of student body elect ions for the same week as the evaluation." At a meeting of the "ad hoc" student-faculty evaluation com mittee last night. it was decided to distribute only the data at the end of the book which would give general information as to the results of the evaluation. This part was the only part judged by the committee to be reasonably free of errors It is to be distributed to heads of departments and be made "generally available " )ne iculty member joked that .ither 2.(X) of our students didn't know how to fill out the form, or our laIMulty members couldn't explain how to."

Stewart said, "Despite the problems of ballots and time, I consider this election successful." Included in the commission's recomendations for spring elec tions is a request that the SGA president appoints commission members before the Christmas recess. Stewart feels that if this procedure is followed, "the next election will be the best we've ever had." raluation ased dividual faculty profiles were not presented. The committee voted to destroy the inacurate portion of the book and also the student marked computer forms that were used in the evaluation. Plans for another evaluation were discussed. How to elimate problems in coding and giving complete and explicit instructions were discussed. One committee member said that there was evidence that some faculty members purposely gave students incorrect coding information to avoid being rated. Better distribution procedures and closer faculty coordination will be tried in the next evaluation. Vice-provost .John Guilds said that one of the problems in in suring faculty cooperation was gaining their confidence in the survey. lie added that a typical faculty member's reaction would be that his "professional career is being evaluated by an amateur." Also considered was that students in many different majors would be "grading" the teacher of a course in which they had no in terest This problem could be eliminated by having only students majoring in the course they are taking evaluate the professor, Guilds added. President Thomas F. Jones told the committee in an introductory speech that they had "no official status." but that "an unofficial (ommfittee can often do more than an elected or official committee. And although you bring a situation into focus, it doesn't mean that it will be changed." he said.

The committee is also in conflict with the Coliseum, which has been selling to outside promoters who charge students more for the concerts. The com mittee's aim is to give great concerts cheaply, from $2 for smaller groups to $5S for bigger groups, making no profit. The Coliseum has also booked important bands without the cooperation and con sideration of the com mni ttee's plans and schedules, DiFiglio said.
