THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1974
Your Man at Batt
by Greg Moses
“Can a professor, solely at his convenience,
hold night classes for a class regularly scheduled
for day meetings?” asked Larry Allen, graduate
student and economics teaching assistant.
Listen Up
Stadelman tenure
denial ‘surprising’
Dr. Haskell Monroe, vice president for academic
affairs, says there is no policy which normally
permits professors holding classes other than at
scheduled times.
Unusual occasions may warrant a re-schedul
ing of a class, says Monroe. “For instance, if a
professor is sick or for some reason cannot make
class he can arrange a make-up period if he feels
the material is important enough,” says Monroe.
“Reason would be the guide.”
If a student feels a professor is being unrea
sonable in the re-scheduling of classes, he may
appeal to the instructor, then to the department
head and the dean.
Acoustics vs. costs
When Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina come
here for RHA weekend, the total cost of the con
cert will total a little under 25 grand, says Tim
Clader, Town Hall chairman.
“If the show were in the Rudder Auditorium,
the average ticket price would be $10,” says Clad
er. “Because of this expense and because we feel
obligated to make the show available to as many
students as possible, we have chosen G. Rollie
as the site for the concert,” he added.
“I would really like to see Loggins and Mes
sina in the auditorium,” says Clader. “But the
other considerations make the coliseum a more
reasonable choice.”
Kunstler clarification
Although Steve Kosub and John Nash don’t
remember sending it, William Kunstler received
a formal letter of invitation to speak Saturday
night.
The letter is dated Dec. 20 and the signature
reads “Phil Steven Kosub.” Kosub says he was
home for vacation on Dec. 20. Nash, planning
chairman, says it is possible that he signed the
letter for Kosub, but he doesn’t remember.
The letter was brought to our attention by
Mrs. Kunstler when she read a copy of the Jan.
29 Battalion and the lines “Kosub said no formal
invitation was sent to Kunstler.”
Editor:
The news that the history de
partment was not going to grant
Dr. Stadelman tenure came as a
surprise to me as I found her to
be an excellent lecturer. Of the
three faculty members that the
history department has no fur
ther interest in, she is the only
one that I am qualified in any
way to speak for or against.
My experience with Dr. Stadler-
man was when I took required
history 105 as a freshman. I
found her lectures both exciting
and subtly humorous as well as
informing. The escapades of
“Gentleman Johnny Burgoine”
became more than just history
but, rather, a very interesting
and, unfortunately for the Brit
ish, humorous story. Dr. Stadel
man also took interest in students
individually, even to a point
where she tried to be able to
associate the names on the class
roster with the people attend
ing her lectures.
Having talked to others who
have had Dr. Stadelman as a
lecturer, I find that the majority
of them are in agreement with
my observations of her lectures
and appreciated them as I did.
The ability to research a sub
ject and pass knowledge of it on
to students in the form of truly
enjoyable lectures is an all too
rare art. When this ability is
coupled with a sincere interest
in students, readily perceivable to
them, then the prof who can
claim both is very necessary to
furthering the interest of stu
dents in becoming affiliated with
his or her department. A good
lecturer cannot harm a depart
ment but a poor lecturer can
cause students to lose interest in
his department. Why risk letting
a good lecturer go when her re
placement may lack her talent
and dedication ?

A learning experience
Living and participating within a university
community is an education in itself and is an im
portant supplement to learning in a classroom. Stu
dents and professors from varied backgrounds with
diverse opinions, as well as exposure to renowned
lecturers, artistic films, club and dormitory activi
ties, plays and an occasional opera or ballet are
significant factors in determining the worth of a
college education.
The SCONA activities scheduled for this week
offer A&M students an opportunity to become in
volved in a tremendous learning experience.
Students can hear speakers like William Ruck-
elshaus and listen in on panel discussions. Both will
be shown, either live or taped, on KAMU-TV (see
story on front page). SCONA delegates from
around the country will participate in roundtable
discussions during the day and students are wel
come to eavesdrop. In addition, films related to
the SCONA topic, “Reordering America’s Priori
ties,” will be shown Friday.
We urge all students to attend as many of these
events as possible and take advantage of this edu
cational opportunity.

Friday night at midnight I sat
through two hours of pure trash!
The movie was entitled “Trash.”
It was fantastic! I have never
seen a movie on this campus that
took such a sharp and humorous
look at the American lifestyle.
I want to thank the Arts Film
Committee for bringing movies
of this nature and for having the
guts to bring them to this school.
It's about time!
