GEOGRAWiY-
-GEOLOGY
BEDFORD
A truly knowledgeable man
in the field of Earth Sciences.
Other than his monotone voice,
he is an excellent teacher with a
true interest in his students.
CLAY.
A mild-mannered geographer
who is genuinely concerned with
the need to inmprove the quality
of human life. Lectures are
interesting, relating pollution to
economic and social institutions.
Classroom atmosphere is one of
intellectual freedom since he
doesn't dominate the class.
INGALLIS
Avoid this man at ail
cost. His classes and test are
extremely unfair, and until he
comes off of his "ivory tower",
he will continually be disliked
by the students.
KUTSCHE
She is your token female in
the geography department. She
is very interested in the field of
planning, and she will fo out of
her way to structure the
classroom to the needs of the
students. Go by and talk with
her, she is very interesting.
KELLER
A knowledgeable man in
the field of Earth Sciences; he
cares about helping his students
discover their own answers to
current porblems. Test and
papers are fair^ and his classes
are very enjoyable and
interesting.
LORD.
A shy man with a
mild-mannered presentation. A
genuinely nice human being who,
unlike some instructors, does not
avenage the world’s trangressions
at the expense of the student.
Grading is extremely fair, but
testing is deceivingly simple. Class
attendance and minimum outside
work will insure success.
ORR.
If you have ever wanted to see
the world but couldn't afford it,
take a course taught by Dr. Orr.
It's just tike being there, thanks to
his slide collection and wonder
ful manner of presenting
otherwise dry information.
SIIVPSON
He is a cartographer and
map maker at heart.
Eventhough there is a lot of
technical work in his classes, he
strongly believes in individual
learning. Shows an interest in
what you are doing,
STUART.
Extremely knowledgeable man
and seems to be interested in his
area of study. His mind functions
at a higher level than
undergraduate instruction
•demands, hence he is somewhat
bored with the job.
Unfortunately, it shows in his
delivery. One has to attend class
and read assigned materials in
order to make a graded tests vary
in level of difficulty but are
generally more difficult than
most.
WOLCOTT.
Hell of a nice guy. Interesting
person. Really turned on to his
field of interest and it shows in
his class manner. Fair man in his
grading procedure, but he does
demand a minimum amount of
work.
HISTORY
ABERNATHY
Sharp, crisp, succint lecturer.
Calsses are interesting and
informative. Test are standard, not
easy, not hard. Good for English
majors taking English history.
JOSEPHSON
Easygoing, friendly,
uncluttered, interested. Calsses
stress learning, and are informal.
Grades stoutly, not strictly, lasses
stress learning and are informal.
Grades stoutly, not strictly.
JOHNSON
His lectures are complete and
interesting, but he tends to be
more innovative in establishing
class discussion. Latin American
History Is his field and he covers it
to its fullest extent. Reading is
required for class discussions, and
there will be quite a few books to
cover.
MORRILL.
If you have even the slightest
interest in history, you must take
one of this man's courses.
Lectures are fantastic, even
inspiring. Knowledge of his field
is phenomenal. You'll work your
ass off, but it's more than worth
it.
PATTERSON.
An interested, enthusiastic,
affable African historian. Goes
out of his way to help students in
any way possible. Classes are
structured so that you learn
rather than he teaches. Never
boring, much discussion of
readings; your ideas count. Fun to
talk to.
PERZEL
About the easiest going
history-type around. Over*30s will
be kidded in class. Lectures are
down-right fun. America's history
ain't all red, white and blue.
Usually, two exams and some
paperbacks or a paper. Finals
sometimes optional. What you
earn is is what you get.
PLOGER.
An enigma. Bores freshmen to
tears. Astounds those who listen
to him with his ability to
instantly recall historical facts in
any area. One of the best and
widest read men on campus.
Expert on military, ancient and
English history. Good man to
know, a valuable resourse, always
willing to talk to interested
students-makes time if necessary.
Grades fair, not hard, not easy.
RIEKE.
Quiet, unassuming,
mild-mannered. Lectures well.
Knowledge of material is
superlative. A must for those who
want to come to know history. If
you're willing to put out a little
effort, he's more than willing to
meet you half way. Has that rare
quality of being able to generate
enthusiasm in a quiet way.
WRIGLEY
A very thorough, well-read
man whose field is Medieval
history. Classes are will run and
lectures are interesting. Leans
toward traditional view of history,
but also utilizes optional projects
and papers.
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
AND LEARNING
ARMSTRONG
A decent guy. Ditto traits of
Holland and Smith. In keeping
with the rest of the dept, 'despises
grades. Easy grade and you'll like
the man.
BURKE
Widely read in educational
literature and other fields.
Encourages class participation,
discussion, disagreement. Feel
free to say anything you like. For
best results, appear to think for
yourself and be enthusiastic, if
you aren't (don't)already. Don't
remain pessimistic, cynical, or a
worldling.
HAMMOND
Very good. Last /a of course
requires outside work. Class
attendance not checked but
necessary for good grades. He likes
people who are ready to discuss -
issues and speak up in class.
HOLLAND
I n the tradition of the
department, a decent guy.
Probably the nicest person I've
met. Cares about you and your
problem. Don't bullshit him,
you'll feel guilty afterwards. Like
all the others in the dept, easy
grade.
SMITH
Kind and decent man. Type
you would want for a father.
Cares about students and is
always helping someone with a
problem. If you're interested in
individuality and humanism in the
classroom he's the man for you.
PLEASANTS
The guy is right for his name
and a lot more. Knows his stuff.
He'll help you if he can.
MATHEMATICS
EMBRY.
An excellent teacher who takes
a personal interest in her students.
Dr. Embry is out to help students
learn, which is something a lot of
the faculty do not attempt to do.
She is recommended without any
reservation.
LUCAS.
An outstandingly boring
teacher who lectures over most
students' mental capacity^ He
knows his field but fails to
communicate with his students in
class. Dr. Lucas should be avoided
if at all possible.
QUINN.
Gives opportunities to ask
questions throughout courses.
Does not make himself clear when
explaining problems. If student
misses 2 tests, grade for course is
grade on final exam.
ROTH
Funny, Does not discuss the
material clearly. His
requirements are ambigious.
Grading scale is very fair to the
student.
SCHELL.
Overflowing with enthusiasism,
this professor and department
head is one of the finest math
teachers to be found on any
college campus. He takes an
interest in his students and goes
out of his way to help them. His
tests are fairly rigid but very fair;
it often takes forever and a day to
get them back, however.
SCHURLE
If you are a math major, you
must have a course with this man.
Excellent lecturer. Dedicated to
making abstract principles
understandable in concise terms.
Impressive, mile-a minute delivery.
STAVRAKAS
Personable, bright, leans
toward dictatorhsip. 10! takes
questions from class, other, lecture.
Not easy, but as good as you'll get.
Stringently fair.
STEWART.
If you're the type of person
who responds to being
programmed by a programmed
text, doing the problems at the
end of each chapter each night,
and being referred to the book for
answers to all questions, then you
will enjoy Mrs. Stewart. Daily
tests will be given and comprise a
part of your final grade which will
probably be absolute. Considering
the alternatives at the 100 level in
the math dept./ Mrs. Stewart
appears to be as attractive as the
others.
PHILOSOPHY-RELIGION
CORKEY
Perhaps the most brilliant man
stalking the campus. An authority
on every branch of philosophy,
including existentialism,
phenomenology, etc. Very widely
read. Classes are generally
considered to be boring. He is
too. Unless you get to him. It is
well worth your while if you are
interested in philosophy to take a
course this man teaches, but you
have to talk to him to realize
where he is.
FISHMAN
Overall rating as instructor -
excellent. Do yourself a favor
(possibly, one of the most
meaningful in your life) and take
one of this man's courses. Do so
before you leave this place
whether you need his course or
not. If you won't do that, then
simply drop by his office some
time and tell him you'd just like
to talk. While he knows his
academic and departmental shit
well enough to have been
department chairman long ago, he
is somewhat of a saint on a
personal level. He gives
semi-comprehensive tests but is
extremely vulnerable on that
point. Grades fairly. A man with
amazing articulation, wit,
intelligence, charm, integrity, and
grace -- a man you will love.
GESTWICKI
Could be a good teacher yet he
continousiy che4}ens himself and
his students with various theatrical
stunts, publicity, and advertising
campaigns. What else can I say?
LINCOURT
Overall rating as an instructor,
excellent. Helps students discover
their own answers and permits
them to do so. He will teach you
some valuable things in a class that
you will look forward to. Test and
grades are both fair.
PRESLER
Judith Presler lets her students
think. Class discussions ramble,
but they always deal more or less
with philosophy and are almost
always fun. A Plato freak. She is a
fantastic person, quiet and
retiring, looks and acts like a
philosopher. Grading is
reasonable, level of difficulty
varies from low to medium. Don t
take a morning class under her -
she doesn't wake up until lunch.
SHUMAKER
Allows leaway for students in
his classes. He is kind and
understanding even unto the most
ignorant of students. Teaching
style emphasizes clarity, cogency.
Definitely not a professor to fear,
but to learn from.
