Gibbom Concerr By NANCIE MEDDIN Staff Writer I s "A professor may have as great a an effect on his students as he has t on his own children. I respect the student as an individual and I N know every one of my students by ij name on and off campus," says S assoc. prof. of engineering Dr. Jo seph Ii. Gibbons. H While c o I I e g e professors are f pressured with the dual concern of t teaching and research and are ex- t pected to do both, he says he not p only tries to execute his dual task S successfully, but insists that stu- c dents are his main concern. i "One of the first things I do in - a new course," said Gibbons, "is tell the student where my office is and urge him to come by with his problems, whether they are tech nical or of a personal nature. "I'll know many times, by c his performance that he is has' ing problems. I want to k n o w f what's w r o n g - and help him out if I can. I'll make t i m e to tutor him if DR. GIB1ONS necessary." H- i s publica tions, special honors and e x t r a curricular activities are equally as 3 impressive. Graduating from USC in 1956 vith honors, Gibbons has published M articles for the "American Insti tute of C h e m i c a l Engineering ] Journal" and "Chemical Engineer ing Science." lie has received awards in the p fields of surface active agents, sonics and hoiling heat transfer - and fluid dynamics. ie has maintained membership in the A m e r i c a n Institute of Chemical Engineering, the Ameri. can Society of Engineering Educa tors and Epsilon Lambda Sigma (now tau Beta Pi), O m i e r o n Delta Kappa and Phi Beta Kappa honorary fraternities.
