...stay away from the course, and, foe that matter, Professor Hughes. As one of seventeen students who took the course when it was introduced last spring. I was never asked to fill out a questionnaire about it; not were several others who took the course, Apparently, since the Confi Guide could gather no information on the course itself, it questioned both colleagues and tutees of Mrs. Hughes about her, What the editors of the Guide forget, however, is that neither Mrs. Hughes's colleagues nor her tutees are in a position to evaluate Social students...
