Procedure for Teacher-Rating
In order to comply with requirements of the Los Angeles City Board of Education concerning teacher ratings for the coming year, the registrar announced the following procedure to be followed by students and instructors in courses of the 10-week session or the four-week postsession.
The student must call at the office of the registrar for a special grade report form, wrhich he will fill out and leave with the registrar. One form must be used for each class. The form wTill be sent to the instructor concerned one wreek prior to the end of the session.
The instructor must return the form to the office of the registrar, with the final grade and signature, as soon as the final grade is determined, and not later than noon, Aug. 29.
Strict adherence to the deadline is imperative so that students are not made to forego the advantages available to them under the teacher rating system in use in the city schools. In this connection, reports received by the board of education after Sept. 1 will not be honored in computing a teacher’s salary rating.

TV Ballots Revive Fraud, Chicanery *-$:
Fraud and chicanery have reared their ugly heads on campus again.
This time no political posts are at stake—only a man’s
future.
All of this came to light Friday with the final counting of the ballots in the TV con-
Teacher Bureau
Have you, by any chance, been looking for the Teacher Placement bureau?
Well, here's a tip. The bureau has moved. It’s as simple as that.
As of last Thursday, bureau officials haxe been reporting to work in the social hall of Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall, 666 West 36th street.
They took their phone with them, but the number wasn’t changed, in case you would like to call them. Or, in case you would like to visit them, the offices are in the basement of EVK hall.
test running in the Summer News the past two weeks.
The final count shows Bob Mercado, KUSC sports announcer, walked off with the poll by a substantial margin.
The fraud and chicanery entered when an inspection of the ballots revealed that—GET THIS— 102 of the 104 ballots naming Mercado wrere typed on the same typewriter and signed in the same handwriting.
When asked about this curious coincidence Friday, KUSC’s cigar-smoking publicity director, George Woolery, said:
“There must have been some fraud.”
Asked if chicanery might also have entered the picture, he said: “Chicanery? What’s that?”
The Summer News has refused to enter the picture in any activt manner, but innocently sent the questionable ballots to officials at KECA-TV. They get paid to cope with such problems.
All the votes cast, however, didn’t go to Mercado. Jerry Pom-erance, another local boy, picked up 24 ballots from loyal followers.
Sam Balter got three; Frank Bull two; and Braven Dyer, Freeman Lusk, and Tom Harmon got one each.
Officials at the new channel 7 TV station have indicated that auditions will begin about Aug. 20, and that a telecaster wUl be picked in time to announce the first Coliseum game on Friday evening, Sept. 16.
