Award reci

By John Kozma
Gamecock Staff Writer
Tenure and promotion of
professors at USC bear little
relation to teaching ability or
service to the Columbia community,
according to a USO
professor.
Dr. Philip Zeltner, recipient of
an Amoco Outstanding Teaching
Award, credited his accessibility to
students outside the classroom and
contributions to education outside
the university with his winning the
award.
Zeltner said he was pleased with
the honor, but added that the efforts
of many of his colleagues
continue to go unrecognized.
Selecting a best teacher, he said, is
like selecting a "first among
equals."
ZELTNER, AN assistant
professor of philosophy on the
Columbia campus, said he is more
concerned with failures of the
university in serving the community
than promotion, tenure and
other professorial recognitions.
To that end, he initiated a class
in the philosophy of sports last
semester, oporis ana athletics
have ascended to an important role
in our society, he said, and to offer
such a class at night or on
weekends when it would be more
accessible to amateur athletes
would be well in keeping with the
role of service to the community.
The community service aspects
of the university have improved
immensely under the administration
of President
Holderman, Zeltner said, adding
that much of the criticism of
Hoiderman's programs and
policies is to be expected. "When
you take a stand on anything,
you're bound to make some
enemies," he said.
ZELTNER HIMSELF,
especially in connection with the
teaching award, is something of a
controversial figure.

Zeltner's use of the Socratic
method of teaching is also controversial.
Zeltner describes this
method as a dialogue between the
students and teacher aimed at a
