Retiring bit
By Bernard Sinkler
"I have always liked the
student and have regarded
myself as one," said Wade T.
Batson, a USC biolocv
professor who is retiring this
month after more than 30
years at the university.
At the end of this month,
Batson's title will change
from distinguished professor
to distinguished professor
emeritus, marking the official
beginning of his
retirement. But the 70-yearold
Batson would have had to
retire five years ago had he
not brought suit against the
university.
Statp law sptc tho
retirement age at 70, but in
1977 the university set the
retirement age at 65. Since
the university is a state
institution, Batson and
another professor won their
suit and an extra five years
of teaching.
TODAY, BATSON is
retiring only in "obedience
to state law," he said.

access to his office and hopes
"students will still find a
way into my office." He will
also continue to do research,
and hopes to assist both the
biology department and the
university.

the Navy for three and a half
years.
He then returned to
graduate school, earned his
doctoratc, and began
teaching at USC in June 1952.
"Ever since I've been here
I've regarded the student as
my best friend on campus,"
Batson said. In the 1950s
there Was "more contact.
generally, between the
student and the instructor
than there is now," he said.
BATSON SAID, "I think
students today are more
hesitant or reluctant to make
contact with professors.
Students don't come to chat
with you much. I think they

time." Batson said when he
was a student some of the
biggest help he received was
from instructors who knew
their students well.
Batson said that during the
late'60s and early'70s "there
was a general spirit of
rebellion here (at USC)." He
was chairman of the student
media board, which oversees
the functions of the
Gamecock, WUSC, The

student media, and he

"Don't regard a textbook
as a sacred textbook,"
Batson said. "Nothing in the
field of science is static. It's
changing all the time."
Information doubles every
10 or 12 years, making
textbooks outdated, he said.
Of the alliance between the
business world and college
science departments, Batson
said, "I don't think it's going
to cause any problems."
Critics have charged that
such linkage would cause
campus laboratories to be
geared to research of
techniques that business can .
readily turn into a profit?at I
the expense of long-term
research.
According to Batson, this
is an argument between

past 30 years, Batson never
joined industry because of
his love of the classroom.
"In my opinion, the richest
man is the one with the
fewest wants. The desire for
more money never
registered big for me,"
Batson said.
"I doubt if anybody can
look back on his career with
great satisfaction on his own
accomplishments. I would
have liked to think I could
have done better," Batson
said, but "I would not
hesitate one minute to take
the same career."
