Meanwhile, the seemingly endless Professor . . . Continued from Page 1 Botts said that, although he enjoyed newspaper work, money was the main reason he quit the Journal. "I took about a week or 10 days to think about it. I enjoyed every day I ever worked on a newspaper, but I had a family to think about. In those days, you could make more teaching than you could on a newspaper. For Botts, teaching provided ah oppor tunity for a pay raise without the necessity of moving for by 1966, he had finished building his own house, an endeavor which took him from 1952 to 1962. MWe were pretty poor at the time." He started out with a basement house and built it Up gradually, he said. "My wife drew the plan, and we hired our neighbor to put Up the frame. I had some help, and I had the plumbing and wiring done, but I did most of the work. We could only build as fast as money came in. Wed have a flurry for a while, then nothing would get done for several months. Difficult transition Botts said he found the transition from working journalist to teacher difficult. "You have to think differently. You have to be more careful, because it's really easy to mislead students. Something you say in a casual converstaion can be devasta ting later on. You have to gear down a Caribbean island as residents continued to flee their homes. Premier Milton Cato called the fresh ac tivity a "definite eruption." He said steam was shooting 20,000 feet into the air, and the situation "is ominous. He also said steam was seeping from the ground at Chateaubelalr island, on the northeast coast of St. Vincent. There were no reports of lava spilling from the Soufrlere crater. An estimated 10,000 residents have fled to relief centers. Cato said experts were trying to determine if the explosions were caused by trapped steam that would pose less of a danger. Soufrlere s last major eruption occurred in 1902, killing about 2,000 persons. The volcano was dormant until 1972, when it rumbled to life, forcing the evacuation of the immediate area. squads officers little and adjust your expectations to class levels." Teaching, he Said, is "harder in a different kind of way. At the end of every day on a newspaper, it's over. Nothing is carried over. But teaching, you may have some things drag on for two years." Gratification for teachers, he said, is less obvious than in the newspaper business. "A lot of teaching is putting people in a position to learn. You really shouldn't take so much Credit. For a lot of students, it's only a matter of stepping back and getting but of the way. You're never quite sure of your successes or failures." Enjoys teaching Despite the absence of Immediate grati fication, Botts said, he enjoys teaching be cause of "working with people. . . There are so many different, interesting people around. You see so many different stages of maturity." The students he deals with now, he said, are "a lot different" from hose he went to school with. "It seems like students today were a lot more blase. They used to be excited about everything, but not any more. It used to be that, if someone got a job offer, they'd run all the way to the application. Now,, if a student hears about a job, he might look into it and he might not." Botts, 54, and his wife, Dorris, have four children.
