Dr. Terry Barr, who ivas in- troduced this year to the PC student body as Assistant Professor of English, thought he would haue a problem de- ciding what he would do with his Eng- lish major. Entering college with a desire to ma- jor in social work. Dr. Barr decided, after two and a half years of college, to expand his then-English minor to his major; by graduation he found himself with a double major — in both political science and English. After his senior year, he had honors stastus in political science, but he lacked the desire to go to law school; therefore, he took his English major and made many addi- tions to it. Although Dr. Barr was still very interested in current events and politics — the interests that fostered his desire for social work — the books and novels in his office hinted that his interests now lay in another direction; in his tiny one-room office on the sec- ond floor of Neville, Dr. Barr was lit- erally immersed in novels and books on film. In the classroom Dr. Barr was de- manding yet also understanding and sympathetic. Many students would never forget John Fowles ' s The Magus and the fact this 600-page book was due one week before exams. They were given twelve novels to read, av- eraging one per week, with their only com- fort that the professor was reading them at the same time. Dr. Barr, who followed his college ca- reer with two years of major study and four for doctoral work, does not seem to be a man of procrastination. For example, the night before his Chaucer exam, he and some of his friends left for Birmingham to see a Hank Williams, Jr. concert; but was Dr. Barr worried? Hardly. He knew he had studied nights before and made an A on his exam. Barr stressed, What I hope to do here at PC is to get students interested in film as an art form and stress the educational aspects of film as well as the entertain- ment. Dr. Barr is the first professor at Presbyterian College whose English de- gree is concentrated in twentieth-century literature and film studies. As a matter of fact, his dissertation was on a contem- porary film maker and screen writer. This new professor worked closely with Dr. Stewart and Dr. Rains to offer PC students a film course combining Amer- ican plays, screenplays, and films. This three-hour course would be taught by one of the three teachers each day. Dr. Rains would stress the plays ' qualities as plays. Dr. Stewart would then present the plays as screenplays in the literary sense and in written form. And lastly. Dr. Barr would show the plays ' qualities as films, show- ing distinctions between the films and the plays themselves. After this project is com- pleted. Dr. Barr would be working on c veloping a history of American and foreii film course. When asked why he decided to come Presbyterian College, his answer was si pie; this professorship was a Job th seemed to satisfy all of my desires teaching. He believed that the descr tion he read when applying here was tru made for him. So what can you do with English major? Almost anything. Just a Dr. Barr. 26
