“I think with this booklet students will
become more aware and will start considering
the instructor when enrolling. They’ll begin
to know the difference between a lousy one
and a good one. Also, I hope these evalua-
tions will become habit in the future and we’ll
be gelling a better response,” he said.
Wotring and Hollar said they expect some
negative responses from instructors who
receivea low student ratings in the booklet.
‘‘There’s really no way to tell how they’ll
respond. After the booklet comes out we plan
to send out letters to the faculty asking them
toevaluate the booklet.
‘‘We aren’t out to get anybody or be
negative for negative’s sake We just want to
inform thestudents,” Wotringsaid.

Although less than 25 percent of the
faculty-course evaluation forms distributed
in April were returned, John Hollar, director
of the UOSA Faculty Evaluation Project,
said he is still pleased with the results.
“It’s hard to say whether the survey is
representative of all students attending OU,
but 1 believe it’s pretty accurate.
“Compared to surveys done in class, it may
not be statistically representative, but it cer-
tainly will be useful,” he said.
Approximately 1,600 of the 7,200 forms
distributed to students were returned.
The evaluation was written by Hollar and
based on a similar program at Indiana
University. A booklet composed of the
surveyed information will provide students
with information on several hundred courses
and instructors.
Another draft resolution, sponsored by
non-aligned nations, appeared Monday, con
taining the option of having the Security
Council recommend instead of mandate a
halt of military assistance to Israel. A recom-
mendation would not be binding on U.N.
members.
One Western source described the second
proposal, w hich also calls for reparations, as
“more realistic.” But it appeared unlikely the
United States would support it.
A vote on the issue is expected later this
week.
The Israelis said they destroyed the reactor
because the Iraqi government was planning to
use its fuel to make nuclear bombs. Iraq
denies this.
The council should “condemn the Israeli
action,” address “a solemn appeal to Israel
to end such military actions” and call on
Israel to make “equitable reparations for the
destruction and damage” that had resulted,
Leprette said.
But neither Leprette nor British Am-
bassador Sir Anthony Parsons, speaking
later Monday, mentioned sanctions.
Hollar said the 10,000 booklets should be
circulated to students sometime prior to spr-
ing 1982 enrollment.
Student Congress implemented the pro-
gram and approved its funding al a March 31
congress meeting.
Funding for the project includes $8,800ob-
tained from the Student Activity Fee’s “Two
Percent Reserve Fund,” $1,000 from the
UOSA executive contingency fund, and $600
from the assistant attorney general’s salary
which was never used, UOSA President
Deborah Wotring said Monday.
Hollar said he tried to avoid problems of
past OU evaluations when putting together
this one.
“One of the past surveys was distributed in
class at the instructor’s discretion. If he
didn’t want to particiate, he didn’t have to.
That really limited the survey. Also, the
results were so full of statistical jargon the
average person couldn’t understand them,”
he said.
Jack Stout, vice provost of Student
Affairs, Student Congress chair Cody
Graves and UOSA President Deborah
Wotring drew up the proposed distribu-
tion of the $1.5 million projected SAF
income. The OU Board of Regents is ex-
pected to consider the proposed alloca-
tion in its meeting Thursday.
The fee’s purposes are outlined in the
policies of the OU regents as “that por-
tion of the university’s budget which is
earmarked by the state regents for stu-
dent governmental, recreational, social
and entertainment programs, for health
care services and student publications.”

and Means Committee, said, “Frankly, we’re beginn-
ing to doubt it, and that’s one concern that we talked
about some.”
But he suggested that Democrats on the Ways and
Means Committee could find their arms being twisted if
they delay work on the legislation.
House Minority Leader Bob Michel, R-I1L, added:
“I think the Democrats would be commiting a grievous
error if they were seen publicly to be dragging their
feet.”
Meanwhile, a task force of five Democrats on the
House Ways and Means Committee began putting

knew about bombing
lions for its attack on the Iraqi reactor, which
was being built by the French. But Leprette
stopped short of demanding sanctions to
punish the Israelis, whose warplanes killed a
French technician in the raid.
The United States has indicated it will veto
any move to impose sanctions on Israel.
An informal draft for a resolution cir-
culated by Arab members of the council
would condemn Israel and call for an em-
bargo on military, economic and technical
aid that Israel could use to attack Iraq and
other Arab slates.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The Soviet
Union, demanding U.N. sanctions against
Israel, suggested Monday that the United
States must have known beforehand about
Israeli plans to bomb Iraq’s nuclear reactor.
U.S. officials have insisted the Reagan ad-
ministration did not learn about the June 7
Israeli air strike until afterward.
But Soviet Ambassador Oleg A. Troyanov-
sky, speaking on the third day of a U.N.
Security Council debate on the raid, said that
despite the United Slates’ statements to the
contrary, “it’s difficult to imagine that it did
not know in advance” about the attack
Earlier Monday, an Israeli newspaper
reported that U.S. officials secretly visited
Israel several times last year to keep the
Israelis informed of Iraq's alleged progress
toward producing nuclear bombs. The
Israelis said they destroyed the Iraqi nuclear
facility because it was to be used in the
manufacture of atomic weapons.
U.S. State Department officials had no im-
mediate comment on Monday’s Israeli
newspaper report. But they previously have
acknowledged that Washington shares in-
formation with friendly countries in the Mid-
dle East.
Arab and other Third World delegates
have urged the council to order an economic
boycott or similar penalties against Israel as
punishment for the air attack. The latest such
demands came Monday from Lebanon,
Uganda, East Germany and China, as well as
from the Soviet Union. A vote on the issue is
expected later this week.
Earlier Monday, French Ambassador Jac-
ques Leprette said the council should con-
demn Israel and demand that it pay repara-
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican leaders told
President Reagan Monday they are concerned that
Democratic foot-dragging may delay enactment of the
administration’s tax-cut program beyond his Aug. 1
target date.
The president conferred at the White House with key
members of Congress in what deputy White House
press secretary Larry Speakes described as “the open-
ing wedge of the president’s efforts” to lock up the sup-
port of key members of Congress for his tax program.
Asked whether Congress will be able to finish work
on the legislation by Aug. 1, Rep. Barber B. Conable Jr.
of New York, ranking Republican on the House Ways
PEKING (AP) - Secretary of State Alexander M.
Haig Jr. discussed U.S.-Chinese relations with China’s
leaders Monday and there were indications the talks
were not going as well as earlier sessions did.
U.S. officials, who declared Sunday that there was
near unanimity of views on international issues, offered
a much more subdued public characterization of Mon-
day’s discussions.
Pressed for some assessment of the day’s discussion,
a senior U.S. official who briefed reporters on grounds
he not be identified said, “Everything is very friendly
and the atmosphere is good.”
The same official told reporters Sunday that Haig
and Foreign Minister Huang Hua reached “a great deal
of unanimity about the source of problems in the world
today... Soviet hegemonism.”
He declined to specify the issues discussed Monday
and would not say whether the tough issue of the U.S.
relationship with Taiwan was brought up.
Another U.S. source said there was “certainly no
deadlock” but added he would not say there was a
unanimity of views. A reporter was told privately that
the Taiwan issue was discussed in Haig’s 3!6-hour se-
cond session with Huang, almost two hours longer than
had been planned.
Haig also conferred Monday with Vice Premier Bo
Yibo on economic matters and with Defense Minister

With summer session fee payment
slated for this week, students are once
again required to pay $3 per credit hour
in Student Activity Fees. This fee is in
addition to the Health Fee and Facilities
Fee which are also required of OU
students.
And, with the projected Student Ac-
tivity Fee revenue up only $30,000 from
last year, Intramural Sports and Recrea-
tion may receive the single biggest boost
in funds over the 1980-81 allocation, ac-
cording to proposed distribution
figures.
The 1,600 responses are now being
validated and soon will be sent to an
Oklahoma City company to be made into
computer cards, said Peter Graves, computer
programmer for the evaluation project.
Graves will compile statistical information
from the responses.
“This is not a super valid survey as you
might find in a doctoral paper,” he said.
“But we really don’t need to go that deep. In
most surveys the questions are tested
beforehand to make sure they’re what the
surveyor wants. That wasn’t done for this
one. But since it was based on another univer-
sity’s survey, which has been very successful,
we didn’t believe it was necessary,” Graves
said.
The OU survey was based on one which has
been successful at Indiana State University
for about seven years, Hollar said.
Some of the questions asked were:
•What final grade do you expect to
receive?
•What portion of the class do you attend?
•How well does the instructor speak
English?
pleased with form return
classes, but the booklet should place a new
emphasis on enrollment, Hollar said.
Graves said that only the courses that had
at least a 10 percent response which included
at least five students will be reported in the
booklet.
“In other words, if it’s a class of 10 and
three people responded, then that's 30 per-
cent of the class. But, three opinions just isn’t
enough. We need at least five.
“Obviously most obscure electives won’t
have enough response to be included. But
we’re going to find out a lot about those
freshman psychology and freshmen
sociology courses,” Graves said.
He said the most important thing is that
they’re not trying to make any interpretations
in the booklet.
“We’re just offering information,
hopefully in a clear and readable form.
Students will have to make thier own inter-
pretations,” he said.
Class times are a big factor in picking
