research but I look at it as research teaching.” Daniel Patton observed, “my primary role
is teaching, um, even though we do all the other stuff as well. You know we basically
have a three-pronged, you know, responsibility: teaching being primary I guess, and then
we have sort of community service, and then, of course, research.” Only Albert Keene
gave equal weight to each of three different roles, “it’s a combination of three things: 1/3
teaching; 1/3 administration, helping the college function; and 1/3 research.” Yet when
asked if he felt he spent equal time in each his response was a resounding “no”
punctuated with laughter.
