Prof Hosp i ta 1 i ty
The number of students who signed up for Prof Hospital
ity night fell a good bit short of the total invited.
A total of 122 faculty and staff members opened their
homes to about 1,000 students, but not more than half of the
miximum potential was attained.
There are several possible reasons for the failure of stu
dents to participate with the same enthusiasm with which the
profs made the invitation.
Some students apparently can’t shake the feeling that
to accept such an invitation would be interpreted by fellow
students as an attempt to “get next to the prof.” Those who
fit in this category could easily overcome that difficulty by
signing to visit profs who have impressed the student with
their friendly attitude, but who are not instructors to the
student in any of his classes.
For those students who would argue, “But all my friends
don’t know who my class profs are,” there is no hope. They
might as well remain introverts.
The most plausible explanation for the poor student turn
out was the inability of large numbers to sign within a short
period.
With 122 invitation blanks attached to four clip boards,
students had to stand around while someone else thumbed
through the alphabetically arranged lists to locate a particu
lar prof. If his name wasn’t even there, the student began
a search for a second choice prof, while the waiters grew im
patient.
Next time the bottlenecks will be eliminated.
