Capturing Their Attention by LaDonna Dale One fascinating aspect of Texas Christian University is the faculty. The university has many devoted professors. Each is unique in his or her own way. These are faculty members who care about students and are interested in what they are doing. The professors of- ten have a chance to develop friendly relationships with the students. Many appreciate students and will do any- thing to further their education. Of the entire faculty, three professors are espe- cially admired by the student body. After eighteen years in the economic department, Professor Charles Becker has come to like what he calls, the kids, at TCU. The feeling is mutual. Dr. Becker's classes are worth attend- ing because of his interesting teaching philosophy. He likes the challenges of economics, which are endless. It is never just the same old thing. He con- tinually brings up new and different material in each lecture to make them more interesting. During Professor Claudia Camp's five years in the religion department, she has made a tremendous impact on her students also. She really likes it when students ask serious questions about the topic in discussion. She pre- sents her lectures in a way in which students are open to ask intelligent questions. Her goal is to increase a stu- dent's ability to ask pertinant questions. Professor Abo Habib is leaving the university after contributing three dili- gent years of accounting instruction. Habib loves the students and they ad- mire him. He wants to do the best he can for his students. He has devoted much of his time to helping, not only his current and previous students, but any one else who comes to him with ques- tions. He states, I believe in high qual- ity teaching, and that is what he tried to do. The student body will miss Pro- fessor Abo Habib and his contribution to the university. At the top, Abo Habib advises a student on the telephone. Professor Charles Becker explains an extensive concept to his Honors Principles of Microecono- mics class. 2 Faculty sis: I .I LaDonna Dale LaDonna Dale

The faculty is, of course, the professors. The general staff consists of the secretaries, maintenance, and food service employees. But by far the most varying and diverse group is the Univer- sity staff, or the professional staff as it is also known. The University staff consists of employees that are required to have degrees in their field, sometimes even higher than a Bachelor's degree. There are two general divisions of the Universi- ty staff, the administrative side and the professional side. The administrative side of the University staff is responsible for the administration of different aspects of the university. This includes people in Admissions, Personnel, Financial Aid and Discipline. The Professional division includes people in specially trained fields. This includes University Minis- tries, the doctors in the Health Center and the psychologists and counselors in the Counseling center. There are many more people on the University staff, as it stretches into every corner of the University. It is safe to say that the employees of the University staff are one of the most important and intre- gal parts of the university.
