,English Professor, Publications Advisor A Tribute fo Paul Blokney Students come into contact with many professors in the course of a college career. Most are forgotten, some are re- membered as an unpleasant part of the student's life, others acquire a real identity and later hold a warm spot in the memory of the student as he leaves the college community. Among the qualities which make a single professor memorable are his knowledge of his subject matter, his concern for his students as individuals, his willingness to help pupils academically and personally, and, most im- portantly, his ability to relate on a personal level to his students. Working closely with students as Shorthorn advisor, as Press Club sponsor, and as a teacher of both English and journalism, Mr. Paul S. Blakney has exhibited these qualities which cause a professor to be remembered as both educator and friend. For these reasons, the 1965 Reveille staff pays tribute to him. He especially understands the plight of the working stu- dent with a family as he did not begin his own college career until after his family was started. While earning both Bachelors and Masters of Arts degrees from North Texas State University, Mr. Blakney worked on the Denton- Record Chronicle. After coming to Arlington State College in 1954, Mr. Blakney served as director of public informa- tion for seven years, 1954-1961. At the same time, he also taught. When Arlington State began increasing the number of its non-teaching administrators in 1961, he chose to re- main in the classroom rather than continue as information director. He has maintained membership in the College Classroom Teachers of English, the South-Central Modern Language Association, the honorary English fraternity Sigma Tau Delta, and the professional joumalism fraternity Sigma Delta Chi. ... f' ,PX
