Page 4/The Battalion/Tuesday, September 25,1984 Texas A&M faculty ‘publish or perish’ By KARLA K. MARTIN Staff Writer “Publish or perish.” It’s a familiar phrase to the Texas A&M faculty — yet it’s a phrase that’s making the faculty famous. The faculty of A&M’s College of Business Administration has re ceived national fame for its research publications within the departments of marketing, management and ac counting. The Department of Marketing has been recognized by the Ameri can Marketing Association for sub mitting more publications to market ing journals than any other university in the nation. The Department of Management is ranked second nationwide in the number of published articles, and the Department of Accounting has been ranked first nationwide by the American Accounting Association for the number of articles it pub lished in major accounting journals. These publications summarize the research within the separate depart ments, and include such topics as business strategy (how to create long-range plans and follow them through), and effective usage of tax journals. faculty is fairly young and highly motivated.” Dr. Lyle Schoenfeldt, head of the management department, also cred its this success with the motivation of his department. “We have made a conscious effort in the last six years to hire effective teachers and effective scholars,” Schoenfeldt said. “Last year we in terviewed six people and hired only one ... We wanted to hire more than one, but only one met our stan dards.” Schoenfeldt said he disagrees with those believing that research takes time away from the students. “If you look at a person who’s a good teacher but doesn’t research,” Schoenfeldt said, “they get behind and don’t learn the modern ad vances. We want faculty who de velop their own knowledge in terms of research.” Dr. William Pride, head of the marketing department, said he be lieves publishing in journals is a good outlet for A&M’s faculty be cause the professors are research- orientated. “I think we’ve attracted more fac ulty interested in teaching and re search,” Pride said, “and part of our success stems from the fact that our Dr. James Benjamin, head of the accounting department, says that while outstanding teachers are known only within the universities, publishing research articles gives them the chance to gain “fame” throughout the nation. The College of Business Adminis tration at A&M is the fifth largest in the United States. “Our ranking reflects our fac ulty,” Benjamin said. “We keep up- to-date on critical issues. We’re on the cutting edge of new knowledge.” Cars without proper permit identification tags are being towed from St. Mary’s Catholic Church parking facilities along Nagle Street. Myron Williams of A-l Wrecker says, “We usually get a list of license plate numbers from St. Mary’s Student Center about three times a week and we come right out and haul ’em away.” The curb is painted and marked for permit parking only. Ann Norwood of St. Mary’s Student Center says that the permits for parking on the church property are free, but only available to registered pa- rishoners of St. Mary’s. She says that warnings were issued to violators during the first three weeks of school, but repeat vi olators have forced them to resort to towing the offenders. Norwood reports that towing will continue as long as viola tors continue to park in marked spaces.
