PAGE 6 THE MICHIGAN DAILY e ETOTEMCIGNDIYTEDY FBUR i 94 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25,196f Conference On the 'U' (EDITOR' NOTE: This is the fourth In the series of articles on last week- end's Conference on the University.) By JEFFREY GOODMAN Faculty functions outside the classroom are intimately connect- ed with a teacher's total job, the conference on the University ses- sion on "Non-Teaching Functions of the Faculty" concluded Satur- day. The group, composed of four professors, six students, and an administrator was co-chaired by George Allen, Grad, and Prof. Claude Eggertson of the education school. Commenting on the ways in which a faculty member's research is valuable in his teaching, Prof. Irving Copi of the philosophy de- partment said that "a lecturer who is sufficiently freshened and invigorated by his research will usually bring this attitude with him into the classroom." Faculty Involvement Prof. John Dorr of the geology department concurred, noting that "it is essential to undergraduate teaching that faculty be involved in research in order to give the student the sense of stimulation and excitement that research en- genders. "There is no sense in the stu- dent pursuing the teacher if the teacher is not pursuing knowl- edge," he said. Prof. Copi noted that "it hap- pens only rarely that a red hot researcher is a terrble teacher." Combine V-P's The offices of vice-president for academic affairs and vice-presi- dent for research should really not be separate, Prof. Copi suggested. "Unfortunately," Prof. Dorr not- ed, "the National Science Founda- tion defines research as actually engaging in a project. This does not allow for research training of undergraduates, who usually do not have the background to do in- dependent work." Dean Myron Wegman of the public health school felt that fac- ulty doing research but not want- ing to be isolated from students should be able to secure tenure. How Much? Prof. Claude Eggertson of the education school was concerned that too many men might be sup- ported by grants and the teach- ing efforts of the department be hampered. Defining the student in terms of the academic and emotional changes that both he and the Uni- versity undergo as a result of his studies, the group turned its at- tention to the need for a more intimate faculty-student relation- ship outside the classroom. Secre- tary of the University Erich Wal-. ter, said that instances of student visits to faculty in their homes are too rare today. He cited the college system at Yale University, where a number of faculty members live with stu- dents in residential college units. What About Faculty However, neither he nor Walter were sure. that enough faculty would want to live in such ar- rangements, especially those with children or other interests in the community. Prof. Copi mentioned that he felt that faculty counseling is wrongly separated from teaching. According to Dean Wegman, counselling is "just one of the many facets of education."
