"We are very short-handed and must teach introto psych every semester," Kosslyn said. "He wasthe only full professor who had not already taughtit several times and who is not already committedto other obligations that couldn't be dropped. Hewas also the only one who was willing to do it."

Rosenthal agreed that it was a shame thatHackman would have to sacrifice one course inorder to teach the other.

"Professor Hackman has so many gifts that wewish we had two of him and would love to have oneto teach the organizational behavior course andone to teach introductory psychology," saidRosenthal.

"At the moment, because of shortages of theother Professor Hackmans and the general shortagein our other faculty, we had to make [the]difficult choice [of having Hackman teach Psych1]," he added.

Kosslyn said he believed that L. Dodge FernaldJr., a senior lecturer in psychology, would teachPsych 1 in the fall semester.

Kosslyn said that next year, a number of peoplein the department will be on leave, and heemphasized that the Psychology Department needsmore professors to teach the sub-areas that thedepartment would like to cover.

"We were not happy having to ask ProfessorHackman to teach intro to psych either," Kosslynsaid. "We really need additional faculty."

"Organizational psychology is very importantand we wish we could cover it as well as we usedto if not better," Kosslyn said, "but if we don'thave extra personnel then it's just not going tobe possible."

Rosenthal said the department was lucky in thatit had another professor who teachesorganizational psychology, Professor of PsychologyPhillip J. Stone.

But Wolf said that Stone's course does not makeup for the one Hackman will not teach.

"Professor Stone's course is applicable to theorganizational track; however, his course is aboutthe psychology of business and does differsubstantially from Professor Hackman's course,"Wolf said.

While the department is short on faculty, it isattempting to bring in new faculty members tocover sub-areas of psychology, Rosenthal andKosslyn said.

"At the moment, we are short three fullprofessors and we hope over the next few years tobe able to make up that shortage," Rosenthal said.

The department has made three new hires for thefall, but Kosslyn said they couldn't teach Psych 1because "they are not yet oriented to thedepartment."

The three new professors are:
