The poll was undertaken last Lenni with the cooperation of ASCIT and with major financial support from the Institute's general contingency fund. To facilitate processing of data, each set of poll answers returned by an undergraduate was punched onto an IBM card ver 3000 cards in all. These cards were sorted by courses and the results were summarized in usable form by the IBM 7090 system. Freshman Kim Gibson helped the EPC greatly with his programming skills. Due money limitations, analysis of the poll restits Among the most highly rated courses in the poll were AM 95, AMa 101, Ch 14, Ch 」44. Ec Ec 126, EE 101, EE 115, En 10, Ge 1, ME 17, Ma 1, Mu 1, Ph 1, Ph 107, and PI 102. Not surpris- ingly, high course ratings were most often associated with high opinions of individual instruc- tors. Une Interesung result was that some graduate teaching assistants were rated as high or higher than many faculty mem-bers; one of the most highly rated courses, EE 101, is in fact taught entirely by graduate stu-dents. Also, most students seem to feel that they attend classes more often than is worth their while. A subject of lively discussion has been the new Physics 1 and 2 courses. Opinion on the new physics program was by but no Tost freshmen and sophomores liked the new courses and their texts very well. In general, the criticism that the new physics courses are taught for the benefit Evaluations of a small number of physics majors is not widely held. Physics 1, in particular, was highly rated; the EPC believes that the efforts of the physics department have led to a marked improvement in the presentation of the course. Many transitional difficulties of the past 2 years have been lessened or eliminated complete-ly. Despite the criticism of some juniors who have taken the COUeS I7 The past, Tne new Physics 1 and 2 courses apparently are well received by those (Continued on page 2) Notices Niemann Dies On Vacation Dr. Carl G.

(We'd rather you wouldn't) Of course, a lot of people do pour beer down the side of the glass. They say it keeps the head down. It sure does. And we think that's a shame. Maybe it sounds silly, but we spend more dollars on just the bubbles than any other brewery in America. In-stead of pumping them in mechanically, we let Budweiser create its own bubbles with our exclusive Beechwood Age-ing and natural carbonation. It takes a lot longer to do it this way. But it's worth it. When those bubbles get together at the top of your glass you've got a better head, a cleaner taste, a smoother, more drinkable beer. Budweiser even smells better (really ... just take a sniff next time you pour). So let that Budweiser fall right down the center of your glass. Let it splash around and froth and foam. We went to a whale of a lot of trouble brewing the finest beer on earth, and we'd hate to think you'd missed even one little bubble. Budweiser® that Bud .…..that's beer! ANHEUSFR-RUSCh. ING. eST.
