14—The Daily Collegian Friday, July 27, 1984 Chair of dean's council aims to spread excellence Continued from Page 1 faculty and will help with teaching courses, Pattishall said. "(The two colleges) seem to be doing a good job of providing a quality education for a greatly overpopulated student body," he said. Pattishall said there is a need to separate those things that can be learned just as well in a large group from those that can be better acquired in a small group. If only presentation of information is involved, class size doesn't matter, he said. However, development of critical thinking usually can best be done in small groups. Pattishall said he is pleased with Jordan's goal to make Penn State one of the nation's top universities. "I think he is doing an excellent job trying to lead the rest of us," he said. "(Jordan is) also helping to gain the resources that it is going to take to have the kind of excellence across the University that we now have in some individual departments." Jordan's efforts will result in an improvement in undergraduate instruction as well as improvements in research and scholarly productivity of the faculty, Patti shall said. "As you become more productive, you also increase the quality of instruction at the undergraduate level," he said. "I would not be in favor of developing strong research programs without a concomitant improvement in undergraduate programs." Another major problem of the University is retention of superior faculty members, Pattishall said.

The University also needs to encourage diversity, he said. The student population should be diverse in schol arly abilities, social commitments, race, ethnic back ground, age and learning styles. The council is working very well, Pattishall said. "It is now much more dynamic than it was five years ago." He said he is looking forward to an exciting year as chairman of the council, adding that Jordan is more interested in discussing issues with the academic deans than past administrations have been. Charles L. Hosier, dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, said :"The College of Human Devel opment is very fortunate to have Evan Pattishall as dean." Hosier said he is very pleased with Pattishall's election as chairman of the council. "He's a very mature, very even-tempered and intelli gent person," Hosier said. "It takes a very steady person to keep the discussion going (on the council)." Pattishall came to the University in 1966 to form the. Department of Behavioral Science at the College of Medicine and served as chairman of the department for 13 years. He has served as dean of the College of Human Development since 1981.. Pattishall holds a doctorate in educational psychology from the University of Michigan, an M.D. from Western Reserve University and both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in music from the University of Michi gan. Color Sells. New dean Continued from Page positions," Nelsen said. He said that while he enjoys administration, he enjoys scholarly activities and . teaching even more. "If I were to describe myself, I would say that I am a scholar teacher." Nelsen said he is looking forward to getting to know the other faculty members in the College of Liberal Arts as colleagues and that he decided to come to the University because of its fine reputa tion.
