Every University possesses it’s share of both outstanding and inadequate members among its doctoral charter. One general observation is there are at least 10 superb instructors for which each institution is well-noted. The key to success, for any student, is to locate these professors and reap the bountiful rewards received through this instruction. In the 1950’s Pennsylvania State University, an institution well noted for its supremacy in the speech communications field, carried a student who possessed the capabilities, enthusiam, intellect and motivation to become a leading figure in communications, similar to the Barbara Walters of 1980. Dr. Agnes Doody, (the student in question), of our speech communications department, comically refers to the times in her scholastic career when she was absolutely certain that teaching was not the field for her. A mere fluke instigated Dr. Doody ' s first attempt at teaching; the rest is history. Some- where amidst the first semester of her education she caught the ' bug ' , and acknowledged teaching speech communications to be her forte in life. Born in Connecticut, Dr. Doody has general knowledge of New England. When a job opened here at URI, she saw the irresistable opportunity to take a newly- formed Speech Department and create a strong, dynamic and first-rate division. Taking hold of the reigns Dr. Doody began to pursue this goal at full speed. Dr. Doody’s skills and attitudes allowed a tremendous upsurge in the department ' s staff, presenting fulfillment of her goal. Her performances in class are unique and electric. Dr. Doody demands excellence of her student ' s speech performances. Somehow she miraculously tells you your speech was a failure without hurting your feelings. Not only are the classes dynamic, persuasive speaking lessons, they are abundent with current information pertanent in understanding today’s world. Each class is bursting with energy and excitement. For those who have not yet seen Dr. Doody in her astounding performances, and plan to remain at URI for at least two years, do not miss this opportunity to participate in one of the most fruitful experiences obtainable here at URI. by Liz Hahn J.

28 He walks briskly into the room with a determined look on his face. Within seconds class begins, and political science professor David Warren launches into his animated discourse. The lecture is punctuated with strings of long, colorful adjectives and strong hand gestures. The first world government is exuding with power . . . see, I’m exuding.” Sometimes he stumbles over words, an indication that his mind is working much faster than he can talk. He paces as he speaks, occasionally leaning over to point at an unsuspecting student and ask, Isn’t that right, my friend?” Able to sense when his audience is signing off the air, possibly due to the hypnotic quality of his energetic performance, he battles valiantly to hold their attention. Habitually, he pauses to ask, Are you with me?” or to entice some wayward listener to come back, little Sheba.” Dr. Warren has been known to literally chase anyone daring to leave his class early, with the intention of making them stay for the duration. He doesn’t hesitate to display his wry sense of humor, drawing appreciative laughter from every corner of the room, ... and this leads to dialectical materialism what ever the hell that is . . . He sees a need for order and attention in a learning situation, People are harder to interest today, he says, reflecting on how student attitudes have changed since he came to URI in 1953. Still, he loves the challenge of lecturing — especially in the fundamental courses. Political Science 113 and ■i 16. A graduate of Brown University and the Fletcher School of Law and Diploma- cy, Warren’s college career was interrupted when he served as an infantry- man in Europe during World War II. Though it didn’t directly influence his later decision to study political science, he looks back on the experience as worthwhile. I became aware of the pervasiveness of conflict in human affairs,” he says. People are always striving for conflicting goals. Politics seeks to resolve, limit, restrain these differences.” by Janet Thouin T. J. Paglione
