Show Faculty Honors A university is only as good as its faculty. It is they who serve as the repository of the intellectual advancement of the university. The ten men and women who follow are among the best the University of Utah has to offer. Selected on the basis of their prowess in the classroom, each of them is a convincing argument against the teaching machine. In addition to presenting the facts of their subjects lucidly and completely, they also supply the human component essential to making that subject meaningful and important, and the spark of incentive required to foster full comprehension. B. Jack White Associate Professor of Psychology Dr. White is one of a minority of teachers who can hold the attention of large classes of freshmen as well as small graduate seminars. Combining an extensive knowledge of social psychology with colorful examples and personal anecdotes, he avoids much of the tedium of classwork and often makes his students enjoy studying. His students gain personal experience in the processes of psychology by conducting and participating in the tests which he administers to obtain data for advanced graduate research. Dr. White enjoys the challenges of teaching and the opportunities for personal improvement that it provides. A member of the faculty for ten years, he has generated considerable research on the psychological aspects of prejudice and authority. Captain Allan D. Carlisle Assistant Professor of Military Science After several years of first-hand military experience, Captain Carlisle came to the University in 1964 extremely qualified to instruct students in the techniques of military strategy. The most important aspect of teaching, he feels, is the personal counseling with young men interested in a military career. The college ROTC program is crucial in determining the caliber of the armed forces. Captain Carlisle must characterize the military life judiciously and help the student decide whether, in his own case, the demands of a military career are meaningful and worthwhile for him. His success with students in helping them discover themselves is demonstrated by the great deal of respect accorded him. He sees this responsibility as the greatest challenge he has faced, and thoroughly enjoys the personal association with students that it requires. 45 |
