Profs Important on Campus and in Community Professor John H. Porks, though on the faculty of the foreign language deportment, shows above-average skill in the wielding of a paint brush. But the faculty member assumes another personality when he leaves the campus, for his interests are more than academic. He returns to a home and family, to hobbies, or perhaps to an additional part-time job. He is aware of the world around him, and enjoys participating with other university families in church and civic groups, and such recreational pursuits as the faculty bowling league. Professors may be found at the head of a Sunday School class, or followed on a hike by a group of scouts, or attending a back to school night for a son or daugh- ter. Or they may themselves be seen taking notes in a night class in an effort to keep pace with new discoveries in their own fields or in other subjects of interest to them. For every faculty member must continue to learn while teaching, to keep himself interesting to his students and interested in his subject. A professor must combine two lives, achieving a balance between campus and home. PROFESSORS MORBITO AND NOVOTNY CHECK THAT MR. McGINNlS IS Dr. R.

These pictures are on attempt to represent the faculty ' s contribution to an institution of higher learn- ing. Students see professors behind podiums, in front of blackboards, with books and briefcases in hand, and tests tucked under overloaded arms. They enter eight o ' clock classes and see sleepy profs trying to instill knowledge in an equally sleepy class. And after class they may see the prof go to the faculty lounge or the Hub for coffee with some of his cohorts. Or he may return to his office for preparation, grading, or just relaxation in the quiet of his temporarily studentless life. Soon the calm may be broken b y a student seeking advice, or he may choose to spend a while on independent study aided by a grant from his department. A professor ' s afternoon may include attendance at a student group meeting for which he serves as advisor. PROFS. BECK AND HUNGERFORD AID REGISTRANTS. DAVID W.
