The point is... this guy is Martel's professor. Not his family, friend, or confidante. It's weird in this day and age for a professor to call you several times, not leave any message (which is a pet peeve - if it's important enough to call, leave a #@$@#$ message!!), and generally abuse the privilege of having your students' contact info. Unless I was in a show that required contact outside of school, never in my *cough* several years of college has any professor even asked for my phone number.

Syllabus stuff and notes stuff... a bit anal retentive, but not too unusual. Combine it with the calling, and he's weird and intrusive. Especially since it's just class business that everyone needed to hear - why would you do that any way but email or in class?

I would follow warrrrreagl's advice, because I've heard his irritations with students - he's not prone to just assume the teacher is wrong, in fact, as a department head, he's more likely to assume the student is (at least I'd think so). You don't need to make it very official since you have a relationship with the Dept. Head, but do bring it up, and ask.
