According
To Doyle
Robert Doyle
The next time you need a breath of
fresh air, go to Robert Doyle’s office
in Daniel Hall. This reporter did that
as a matter of assignment. In the inter
view time he graciously allotted, we
discussed many subjects. He gave
much insight.
It is apparent in the first few min
utes of talking with Robert that no
subject is a taboo subject. He encour
ages students who talk with him to use
his friendship and confidentiality.
Apparently, this approach grants him
the trust of a large number of stu
dents. Certainly, this alienates him
from some people, but as he says, "1
don’t expect everybody to like me...
they will have an opinion of me —
good or bad.” This, too, is reason for
feeling good, as this instructor seems
to have a low opinion of fence-sitters.
Talking of instructional methods,
Robert claims a very nontraditional
platform. One would expect this,
since he acquired his degree only three
years ago. Robert maintains even as a
child he aspired to teach and "not to
be a fireman, nor a lawyer.” He
wanted to make a difference in other
people.
Robert’s nontraditional ways are
not just for the sake of being noncon
formist; he makes his decisions as a
consideration of each separate situa
tion. He is playmate to his fourteen-
year-old son because his own father
seemed aloof to him. He acts spon
taneously in lecture and lab, because
students of technology need to know
that their foundations are the efforts
of men and not gods. He offers you
coffee because of your thirst. He offers
you friendship because of the Golden
Rule.
You should do yourself a great
favor. Assume nobody’s opinions.
Meet Robert Doyle.

Plight Of
The Freshman
Why does this feel so much like an
experience I have never experienced
before? Does this question sound
familiar or merely silly? You see, by
stepping on this campus, you became
very humble. When you graduated
from high school you had all the
answers and were on top of the world.
This was all fine and well but the
library was at the south pole! You now
have become confused, befuddled,
and down right frightened. The regis
tration line is so long, that to see the
end of it would take a 500 power tele
scope! When you hear a comment
from someone about ever reaching the
end of the line, you turn and reply,
"does snowball’s chance mean any
thing to you?” Tempers flare, whining
abounds; it’s not a pretty picture.
There is hope, you guys. You will
get to the end of the line. You may
have a slight graying of the hair by
then, but you’ll get there. Isn’t it amaz
ing how that brief summer of triumph
has turned into the feeling of starting
all over again? Well, let me try to clar
ify a few things, though it may or may
not help you.
If you think this is the last time you
will ever have to step into unfamiliar
territory, don’t kid yourself. Don’t get
overly dismayed; look into the past
and you will begin to get the picture.
Your entire life has been a series of
jaunts into unfamiliar territory. Now
look how far you have come! School
represents a series of challenges that
are perhaps unfamiliar to you. There
may be some extremely difficult
classes that you will be required to
take. During such classes will be the
time that you realize you need other
people to help you along. Don’t be
ashamed! No one is exempt from this
fact. But all you are concerned about
now is making it through today. Well,
if you were thinking this to yourself,
you answered in a general form, of
course, all your questions. Take it one
day at a time! Have great dreams and
wish upon the stars. Do not set limits
upon your imagination. It holds the
key to your future! Dream and use
your imagination to get rid of your
fears. The people around you now are
in the same boat. You are NOT
ALONE! The sophomores are facing
the dilemma of graduating next spring
and starting all over again. There is a
certain continuity about problems
and challenges we face on a year-to-
year basis. Please remember to always
take it ONE DAY AT A TIME.
Dreams do come true, you know.
