Battalion Staff
Dr. Jerome Loving won’t
iend this spring semester
aching at Texas A&M. Loving
received an invitation to
ch American literature for six
onths at the U niversity of Paris
Sorbonne.
Loving will leave for Paris in
anuary 1984. While he is there
s will teach three courses in
nierican literature.
Loving said he received the
nvitation to teach at the Univer
ity from France’s minister of
ligher education.
K“There is about a five step
irocess a person must go
hrough before being selected,”
..oving said. “First, you have to
>e nominated, and then you go
hrough a series of screenings
intil they come up with the ones
hey will ask.”
France won’t be the first
:ountry Loving has visited as a
professor. He spent the summer
of 1978 in Russia as a Fullbright
lecturer and was invited to The
International Association of
University Professors of English
annual conference in Germany
in 1983.
Loving said his visit to Russia
taught him much about the Un
ited States.
“While I was there I was able
to see the states through a very
objective light,” Loving said. “I
came back thinking well of the
states. It was a very good experi
ence in all.”
Loving said he will be paid by
the University of Paris while
teaching there.
“I’ll probably just about break
even while I’m living there,”
Loving said. “The most impor
tant thing to me will be the ex
perience of living there. It’s a
rare opportunity to live in
France. I hope to bring back and
share some of the experiences
that I will have there.”

Faculty study
enhance
programs designed
to
departmental value
by Tracie L. Holub
Battalion Staff
The purpose of granting Fa
culty Academic Study Programs
is to increase a faculty member’s
value to his department, his stu
dents and his colleagues, says
Dr. Clinton Phillips, dean of
faculties.
The Faculty Academic Study
Program leaves are awarded to
any tenured members of the
Texas A&M faculty if they have
been a full-time employee for at
least 5 years and are involved in
research, teaching, administra
tion or the performance of pro
fessional services.
Phillips said that 19 faculty
members were awarded study
leaves this year, a large increase
from the 4 or 5 that had been
awarded in previous years.
“We had 22 people apply for
leaves this year and out of those
22 we were able to give 19
teachers leaves,” Phillips said.
“The amount of money that we
get from year to year varies.
That money is the determing
factor telling us how many peo
ple get to go on leaves.
“When I first came here, my
first priority was to get the leave
program expanded. The most
that had ever been offered were
eight. The increase to 19 this
year is just great. We’d like to
offer many more because there
are so many deserving indi
viduals here.”
Phillips said the program re
ceives money from a variety of
sources.
“The former students associa
tion has been a tremendous help
in funding,” Phillips said. “Next
year we hope to get funding
from the former students asso
ciation and the university de
velopment fund.”
Phillips said faculty members
go on leaves for many different
reasons.
“Some might go to use a parti
cular library that is particularly
special for their type of re
search,” Phillips said. “Others
might go and study with other
experts in a certain field. Where
they go and what they do is a
function of their research.
“Many times you have a per
son who has been in a field and
the field just isn’t as important as
it used to be. This is when he
needs to redirect himself and
this is when the leaves help. It
might help if they go to a lab and
get involved in a whole new line
of research.
“These leaves are invaluable.
People come back with renewed
vigor and their horizons ex
panded.

Humphries said the USS
McCloy, a frigate based in Nor
folk, Va., lost its submarine
tracking device and portion of
its cable in the “general vicinity”
of the stranded submarine
Monday.
He said the McCloy was con
ducting “anti-submarine war
fare” at the time. Asked whether
the McCloy was tracking the Vic
tor III submarine, he said,
“That’s what anti-submarine
warfare is all about.”
