Making the transition from high school to college Is an unforgettable experience. Demands of more work of tietter quality done In less time are typical of the Stevens system of education. These demands are part of the Stevens tradition, and apparently will continue to be until the sun develops Into a supernova. Students meet ,these demands with the knowledge Imparted to them by teachers. If teacher effectiveness Is not up to par, meeting demands becomes dlfIIcult and often times very frustrating. How often have you done your work religiously, attended every lecture and recitation, read all required material, and studied adequately before an exam, and still ended up with a C? And how about that other course that you do no work IIi and ace anyway? You think " well, I'm hot In that course but just can't hack the other." And what about those students who really sweat their way up to a 2.0 and think that the grey stUff between their ears just doesn't rate a 4.0?

Alright, slow down. stop, and take a breather, Think, All this time you've been evaluating yourself. After all, you are the student, you get graded on your performance, so if you do poorly,its your fault. Wrong! You've overlooked one important factyou assumed that the teaching you received was faultless. Does your teacher present the course material clearly, does he sense the class response to it, does he try to clarify cloUdy areas, or does he simply rewrite his notes on the board? Do his exams accurately rellect comprehension of the presented material? These are just a few of the questions a student should asK before kicking himself in the butt for poor performance.

Teachers are accountable to the students for high quality instruction, High standards must be maintained If Stevens is to be true to its name as an Institute of higher education, Assessing teacher effectiveness and Improving Instruction are essential to the goals of higher education.

"The first duty of life isto enjoy It. What the seoond duty Is no one has yet discovered." These are the words of. Oscar Wilde whose colorful personage I' became acquainted with upon seeing "Diversions & Dellghts,i, a "one man show" combining the profound wit and sarcasm of Oscar Wilde with the presenoe of Vincent Price who portrays Wilde on stage. I must admit to hesitation at the thought of attending a play having only one character. One tends to entertain notions of long, borIng lecture-type monologue, over-running and endless two hours (I've become so used to the like). However" I could not have been more wrong. "Diversions" not only held my undivided attention but Vincent Price presented such a captivating performance I wished the play had been twice as long. It takes quite an Interesting personality to adapt to such a demanding theatre rendition and Oscar Wilde was truly an interesting man. A writer, playwright, and poet,' he Is recognized as a master of English Iiteratu're. His wit lends itself readily to being quoted as: "I am asked to furnish you with a list of the one hundred be'st books of English literature. I am sorry I cannot accommodate you as I have only written five thus far." and "The world is a stage. But the play is badly cast."

Richard Burt6n, Lee Remick Star in "The Medusa Touch"

, "The 'Medusa Touoh", a motion pioture thriller starring Rlohard. Burton, Lee Remick and Llno Ventura, will open In New York on Friday, April 14, at the Rlvoll Theatre on Broadway and Red Carpet theatres throughout the metropolitan area.

In his first role since "Equus", Burton stars as a lonely' writer empowered with telekinesis, the apparent ability to move, or even destroy, objects through psychic phenomena. Ms. Remick portrays his psyohiatrist and Ventura depicts a police detective who sees a connection between the

telekinetic man and murder.

Other leading roles In Medusa Touch" are played by Harry Andrews, Alan Badel, Marie-Christine Barrault, Jeremy Brett, Michael Hordern, Gordon Jackson, Derek Jacobi and Robert Lang.

Rows and columns enveloped her on all sides. Tangents approached her surface. She beoame - tensor and tensor. Quite suddenly, three branches of a hyperbola touohed her at a single point.

Hearing a vulgar fraction behind her, Polly turned round and saw Curly Pi approaching with his power series exph'1 <Hj!-!Id" once by his' degenerate oonlo and his desoriptlve beams that he was bent on no good.

"Eureka," she gasped.

"Ho, ho," he said, "What is a symmetrical little polynomial you' are. I .can see you're bUbbling over with secs."

"Oh, sir," she protested, "keep away from me. I haven't got my braokets on."

"Calm yourself. my dear," said our suave operator, "Your fears are purely imaginary."

"I, I," she thought, "perhaps he's homogenous then."

"What order are you?" the brute demanded.

"Seventeen," replied Polly.

Curly leered, "I suppose you've never been operated on yat?" he asked.

"Of course not," Polly cried Indignantly, "I'm absolutely convergent."

"Come, come," said Curly, "let's off to a decimal place I know and I'll take you to the II mil."

"Never," gasped Polly.

He stared at her significant' plaoes, and began smoothing her points of Inflection. Poor Polly, all wes up. She felt his hand tending to her asymptotic limit.

Investigates Refrigerators in Dprm'$

By Kevin Murphy

WHY NOT REFRIGERATORS?

WOUldn't it be a good Idea 10 allow students to have refrlgeralors In dorm rooms?

The Interdormltory Council thinks It Is and has decided to investlgale the administrations reasons for the rule against Ihem in rooms. We would like the students to see both sides and decide If II should be tried for themselves. The battle started last semester when the idea was first brought up. The council couldn't see how other schools in the area, Including Monlclalr and Douglass, could have refrigerators and we couldn'j, We saw many obvious benefits to be gained by moving Ihem Into our rooms, the greatest of which would be an end to vandalism. The refrigerators could stili be easily shared between rooms and the Inslitule could slill renl theirs out, only now to be placed In a room. The move would also open up a great deal more kitchen space, especially in Palmer and North. With refrigerators in rooms, students coulds enjoy all of the luxuries of cold soda and ice cubes Without having to slOP what they're doing. The IDC doesn't want a fight, jusl Ihe lenth floor's reasoning, which if sound will sallsfy us.
