The Departmental forwarding of an unsigned terror manifesto by the board of unknown and anonymous directors of a student association of School of Engineering at Democritus University of Thrace, despises the Supreme Administrative Court of Greece (The Council of State), which, after a prior appeal of Assistant Professor Petros Zimourtopoulos, has forbidden - by its Decision 1974/2007 - the interference of this association into Administration of EECE Department, as illegal.

[Seal of the Student Association of School of Engineering]:

 Motivated by the deterioration of a chronic situation the Association of Students takes the initiative to touch upon the subject of quality of teaching of courses "Antennas 1" and "Antennas 2".

 Supervising these courses, Mr. Zimourtopoulos, spends a big part of his instructive hours for matters that have absolutely nothing to do with "Antennas" and he uses a lot of unseemly expressions at the hour of teaching, something that hinders the attendance to the lesson but also its comprehension.

 To all of this comes to be added the stylistic book of courses, which does not help in the comprehension of "Antennas" (a book with a symbolism that does not keep pace with the symbolism of the books of trade) with result, on the one side, the comprehension of "Antennas" becomes impossible, without the attendance to the course, and, on the other side, the tutorials become insipid (by someone which is spent in issues beyond the frame of the course).

 This situation had as a result that, this year, no student (regardless of the fact that he attended, or not, to the course) takes a pass degree in no one from the two courses ("Antennas 1", "Antennas 2"), a sample of lack in knowledge transfer by Mr. Zimourtopoulos.

 We would request from the sector of telecommunications, taking into account that the continuous reduction of students of telecommunications sector is owed in such phenomena also, to try to give a solution.

 The Association of Students proposes the co-teaching of the courses "Antennas 1" and "Antennas 2" by a second teacher or to charge the courses to some other teacher.

 Moreover we ask for the re-grading of the written examinations.

 P.S.
 We request for an emergency session of the sector for the direct confrontation of the problem already from this semester.
