Bargar Is Fact Editor's Note: Dr. Bradley D. Bargar of the Department of His tory describes burgeoning USC student enrollment from a profes. sor's view. By CANDY SILVER Staff Writer QUESTION: Professor Bargar, how long have you been teaching at USC? .%NSWER: I came here in 1954, so that makes 14 years. Q: What do you think of the camp1u.S? DR. BARGAR A: When I came here it was a very small intimate little place. Now, all of a sud<Ien in the last five years it's exploded! Q: What are some of the changes you've seen? A: As far as the population ex plosion, the students have gotten far too numerous. The faculty is also increasing. We used to meet in a small room in Rutledge Col COLDSTREAM ( 18-Hole Champior Student Gree INVITES ALL MONDAY THRC PRO SHOP AN( TELEPHONE Directions: Turn Left Off I 2.8 Miles To YOU'RE W Men Who Expect Tl HIGGINS Says Bi Of Lif4 lege. We couldn't even fit in there now. There was a time that if I had a freshman class with 75 people in it, I thought I had a large class, and now (I have) 150 in each class. Q: What besides freshman courses do you teach? A: My particular interest is "The Expansion of Europe," which includes European colonies and empires and also Africa, which is my favorite part of the course. The second semester when I deal with Africa is dessert; I'm earning my meat and potatoes in History 101, I'm afraid. Q: What do you think of stu dent-faculty relations here? A: I read complaints in The Gamecock about it from time to! time, but I think this is simply a fact that we both have to acce )t in any state university. State universities are always big places and they're the places students are more inclined to feel that they are just numbers or IBM cards. I think the student has to real- t ize that and choose a small, pir. haps private or church school,1 where . . . he can get more indi vidual attention. . . . There are lots of places, I think, even in a large university where he can get more personal contact. i Most student organizations, for instance, have faculty advisers. . . . It's hardest, of course, for a freshman to assert his indi viduality as best he can in some r sort of organization and get what ever amount of personal attention he requires. Q: What ma(le you become a professor ? A: I suppose it was very largely OUNTRY CLUB iship Golf Course n Fees $2.50 STUDENTS 'UGH SUNDAY ) SNACK BAR 772-1700 -26 At Irmo Interchange Coldstream ELCOME - DME be Finest Wear SLA CKS ORTREL@ COTTON igness t Here because I admired two or thre men with whom I worked alon the line. I think I probably too them as sort of heroes and wante to do what they were doing. Q: What have been some o your more rewarding moments? A: There's always summer vac: 'ion. I mean that more serioust )erhaps than it sounds becaus I've been fortunate enough to hav nade several extensive trips dui ng the summers. Last summer vent to East Africa. I suppose a more orthodox, b qually true answer is that ever mee in a while you find some >ody who comies along, and h night not have thought too muc kbout your subject before you me iim, but somewhere you click an hat particular student decides h vants to pursue this subject fur her. Q: What is your interest i africa? A: I'm particularly interested i ertain similarities between th ormer British colonies in Eas kfrica and the history of our ow ,hirteen colonies. What I'm inter -sted in is the number and th zinds of Iritish institutions whic vere transferred to a non-Euro >ean area of the world, under th olonial administration, and the tow many of them continued t xist. Q: What advice do you have fo tudents thinking of majoring i istory? A: My advice would be so t o iegative. If you're trying to de ide between two different thing . . if you've got even a doubt i !our miind, I'd say do the othe ,hing. It's only if you want to d iistory more than anything el hat you should even consider g< ng into it. And then the reward vill be self-evident, you'll be ik ng what you want to do.
