In a series of art'clcs last year, the Daily Trojan examined many of the aspects of the “publish or perish” problem.
Dr. Frank Baxter, English; Dr. Paul Saltman, biology; Dr. Herman Harvey, psychology; Dr. Russell Caldwell, history; and Jo‘in Crown, music, all voiced their opinions on the academic situation.
In addition to liaiiv Trojan editorials on the subject, administrative views from President Norman Topping and Vice President Tracy E. Strevey (then dean of College of Leters, Arts and Sciences) were printed.
An editorial summed up USC’s position in the “publish or perish“ situation as a university which must have both research and teaching with the emphasis on teaching. A brief article this year on .lacques Barzun. dean of the faculties and provost at Columbia University, and his opinions on the subject, concluded the series on “publish or perish”.
Today, the Daily Trojan features a series of articles cn its Student Opinion page (page three) investigating the role of the university professor as a teacher.
Four students—Managing Editor Nita Biss, Feature Editor Barbara Epstc'n, City Editor Penny Lernoux and Contributing Editor David Allswang— discuss w \at qualities they feel characterize a good teacher. Contributing Editor Richard Perle will write cn the subject tomorrow.
In an attrinpt to find out from the professors themselves just “what is a eoliege professor,” Editor Joe Saltznian will interview five professors—Er. J. Wesley Robb, religion; Dr. Robert Void, chemistry; Dr. Ronald Freeman, English; Cr. Colin Lovelf, history; Dr. Norman Fertig, international relations—in a series of five articles. It will begin tomorrow.
