THE REDBIRD
Dr. Russell Long
Meet the Professor
by
Nancy Donoughue
A s j you walk into Room 104 of the Biology-Geology
Building you see a desk piled high with books and
papers and jars filled with snakes. Behind the desk
sits Dr. Russell "Bug" J. Long, Professor of Biology
at Lamar since 1951 and Faculty Representative of
Athletics. He helped in organizing the new conference
Lamar is now playing. -■—
Dr. Long teaches micro-
s c o p i c b iology and field
biology. "Every Spring we
take a field trip to the
Pecos River," he said. "I
remember the time we had
a flash flood. The River
rose three feet in 10
minutes. It .was such a
s u r p r i se, a lot of equip-
ment and personal property
went floating down river.
We always have interesting
trips!" he quipped.
Archeology in Dr. Long's
words is fascinating. Thus
it is his favorite hobby.
Among his most prized
possessions is an 1899
fling pick which came from
England. It was given to
him by’ a friend. He is
now s tu dying the Paleo
Indians, that hunted and
killed the elephants and
buffaloes that are now
extinct here. The Paleo
Indians of Ohio, a book
published by Prufer Case
University and Baby of the
Ohio Historic Society
contains three and one -
half plates of Dr. Long's
material for illustrations.
He has also written a
number .of articles which
have been published by the
Ohio Archeologist.
New Absentee Policy
Set Up on Campus
By Jerry Gask'in
Class c u tters beware!
Poor attendance may mean
dismissal from class plus
an F on your grade record
Furthermore, assignments
and te s ts niissed during
unapproved absences can-
not be made up.
Absences a re caused
by sickness, or other
personal reas ons, the
i n d ividual instructor may
accept or reject the excuse
offered. Students missing
two or more consecutive
classes, however, must
obtain an excused absence
permit from the Dean of
Men or the Dean of Wo-
men.
An approved absence
allows the student to make
up tests and assignments
missed without penalty.
"There is no cut system
at Lamar," Dr. Richard W.
Setzer, Dean of the College,
said last week in clearing
up- a common mis-under-
stand ing. Squelching the
myth of approved cuts for
those on the Dean's list,
Dr.»Setzer pointed out that
these students seldom
create an attendance
problem.
A n instructor may, if he
wishes, lower the students
grade five points for each
absence exceeding the
number of weekly class
meetings.
Absences are counted
from the first period of
class_
Dr. Russell Long
Also among his hobbies
are r a i s ing flowers and
collecting insects. He has
his own snapdragon
hybrids, and he usually
just " g ives them away.
His n i ckname "Bug" was
a c q u ired in Ohio because
of his interest in insects.
Born in Ada, Ohio, Dr.
Long received his AB from
the Ohio State University.
He taught for two years at
both Miami University and
Ohio State before coming
to Lamar.
From 1 934 to 1942 Dr.
Long worked on a news-
paper and was editing his
own weekly paper when he
entered World War II with
the Army. "I started out
in newspaper work because
it was the only job avail-
able," reminisced Dr.
Long. "Although I do
rem ember somewhat of a
job which included teaching
seven courses plus a girls
and boys basketball team !
Jobs were hard to come by
during the depression;
however, I am teaching
now, and I LOVE IT!"
