What Makes Jimmy Run? SEE PAGE 6 THE VANISHING SYSTEM IN AMERICAN BUSINESS Webster has defined nepotism as the "bestowal of patronage by reason of relationship rather than merit" While this was once the rule ?a father trained his son to take over the business ?nepotism is fast disappearing today. Promotion now depends more on training and merit, less on family ties. The larger the business, the more this is true. In General Petroleum, we believe our greatest strength comes from promotion within our own ranks based on merit and performance ... that it's sound business to fill executive jobs by promoting men already doing a good job for the company. For example, there are 85 executive positions in our Marketing Department, and every one of them is filled by a man who has worked his way up. We think this is healthy, for the only limit it places on the individual is his own professional ability. What business system ever devised can be fairer than this ? Mobil gasGENERAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION(A Socony Mobil Company) To and From Commencement is a time of mixed emotions. Certainly the graduating seniors have a mixed feeling of optimism, confusion, hope and, in some casi?. regret. Freshmen are grateful that they made it through one year and can return next fall as sophomores. Sophomores are tell- ing high school seniors that it really isn't so tough. After all they have two whole years be- hind them. The Juniors? Well they are glad that there is only one more year and at the same time they are beginning to realize that this time next year it will be their turn to venture forth. It is time that they started making some definite plans about what they are going to do. A surprising number of seniors are planning to teach school next year and that is good news to many a harassed school superintendent. The need seems to become more critical each year and the supply seems to diminish. Booming birth rates of a few years ago are flooding the schools in every part of the country. Before you know it, all those many citizens of destiny will be knocking on the doors of the colleges and universities of the nation. No one is more pain- fully aware of the approaching rush than univer- sity administrators. Perhaps it will be of interest to know that at Oregon we will need at least 30 new faculty members to accommodate the anticipated in- creased enrollment for next fall and that doesn't even recognize the approximately 45 members of this year's staff who must be replaced be- cause of retirement or because they are mov- ing on to new opportunities. It is this latter group that causes the greatest concern. All too frequently the main reason for losing a highly capable and qualified faculty member is that he cannot afford to remain at Oregon in view of the current salary scale. In some cases the salary scale is comparable with other insti- tutions but such a situation is the minority. The average earnings of a faculty member at Ore- gon are considerably less than at other schools with whom we must compete for faculty mem- bers. As a result, your school is in jeopardy of losing many of its best and most competent people. Some people will say that we can't afford to maintain such a high paid program. In the first place it is not high paid. (The master plumber on the campus earns more than many Ph.D.'s. He is a union scale employee). Many of our staff could earn much more in private industry but would prefer to remain in the teaching profession. Second, we can ill afford to allow a carefully assembled quality faculty to slip away from us. It won't be long before many of you will have your children enrolling at Ore- gon and they should receive the best education possible. You would not want it otherwise. Third, the growing industrial development of the area will require all the trained personnel available. If qualified young men and women are not available to assume responsibilities of management in future years our own economy will suffer and we will find our own position un- satisfactory. We have no choice but to be con- cerned. You can look to Oregon for ideas and plans to solve thi- problem but be ready to lend your assistance. ?Bass Dyer.

Fifteen Years "O ECENTLY A SCHOOL superintendent came to the Univer- sity to hire some teachers. As classes changed at 11 o'clock on Wednesday and the young people preparing to teach passed between classes, the superintendent remarked, "My, aren't there a lot of them." Well, about 360 young people will complete their training and qualify for teaching positions this spring. This, of course, is a large number compared to the handful who took the first courses in pedagogy at the University about 1880. It would have been an impossibly large number to be placed as teachers in 1910 when there were only 1.800 high school students in Oregon. But today it is a distressingly small number with 80,000 stu- dents in high schools and 275.000 in elementary schools. Last year 2,400 seniors were enrolled at all colleges, public and private, in Oregon. There were needed in Oregon for public school positions 1,600 young people?two-thirds of the total num- ber of college graduates. Of the 2,400 graduating seniors, 600 eventually went into teaching. Thus, the superintendents of Ore- gon were obliged to find 1,000 teachers from other sources. This they did through employing qualified teachers who migrated to Oregon with the children, by inducing teachers in low salary states to come to Oregon, and by finding persons who had, or could qualify to hold emergency teaching certificates. Many of the latter are working toward permanent certification. This spring not all of the 360 persons who can qualify for teach- ing certificates will take positions. Of the 300 trained for high school positions, about 200 will take such jobs. Many of them are young men who must meet their military obligations now. Ap- proximately 60 are qualified as elementary teachers, mostly young women, and of these we estimate 54 will take positions in the next year. Thus, out of a total of 360, probably about 250 will accept positions for next fall, and not all of them will be in Oregon. Many reasons have been suggested for the shortage of teachers ?inadequate salaries, lack of social prestige, and others. May I suggest an additional cause? In 1933 there were 12,228 children born in Oregon. Twenty-four hundred of these young men and women graduated from college in 1955. The number of births in 1933 was the smallest in Oregon in 40 years. It is scarcely one- third of the more than 36,000 born in 1953 and from which we may reasonably expect 9,500 college graduates in 1975. At that time, presumably, we would have enough graduates interested in teaching, about 2,500, to keep the supply and demand fairly even. There is, of course, a possibility that if the present birth rate in- creases, even 2,500 teachers in 1975 would not do the job. The reason for the shortage of teachers is not hard to find if we examine the social setting. During the early Thirties the severe depression meant that many young people were unable to marry. If they did, they postponed the raising of a family. Thus very few children were born in the early Thirties. Many young people who deferred marriage in the Thirties married in the early Forties, as we approached the war years, and began raising their families. In addition, "17-year-old-men" were able to earn $1.75 per hour in the service industries as their older brothers went into war Old Oregon By Paul B. Jacobson Dean, School of Education of Teacher Shortage The lack of teachers calls for the combined efforts of educators and laymen One reason for the teacher shortage: too many kids. production and the Armed Forces. These young people married at a very early age and had families. Thus we have had a tremen- dously large number of children entering first the elementary and now secondary schools. But we have the smallest college gradu- uating class we shall have in more than 20 years. We are faced for at least 15 years with the problem of a teacher shortage. What can we do about it ? It seems to us at the School of Edu- cation that all groups interested in teacher education should join in a concerted study to find ways to increase the number of teach- ers. This would include the Oregon Education Association, the State Department of Education, the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers, the Oregon School Boards Association, interested citizens, and persons engaged in higher education. Are there new sources of teachers? The City of Portland has made a survey through the American Association of University Women, and found 50 persons with liberal arts degrees who would take teacher education in Portland if it were offered on a one-year basis. This is similar to the experience in San Diego, California, although there are indications that after the candidates in San Diego have been screened, less than half will complete the train- ing they said they were willing to accept. Can we solve our teacher problem by making classes larger? There are definite arguments against such a procedure, but 30 children in a room rather than 25 may be one of the means to stretch our short supply of teachers. Shall we reorganize our schools and thus use our teachers more efficiently? For example, how many teachers less would we need June-July 1956 Ready to leave on field trip ivith Adviser Dr. Hugh B. Wood, these Nepalese students stow baggage. They are being prepared at Oregon for teacher training work in Nepal. From left, S. R. Dhaj, R. S. Shrestha, R. P. Tandukar, Dr. Wood, D. M. Shrestha and T. N. Upraity. if all schools that enroll 10 pupils or less were placed in reorgan- ized dislricts? Or what effects would we experience if classes of less than 15 were eliminated except for some special classes for exceptional children? What has been the experience with teacher aides, such as has been carried out in Bav City, Michigan? Here one teacher with a less than professionally trained aide has 45 or 50 children in a classroom. It seems to me necessary that we all join forces to study and to help solve the problem of teacher shortage. It's going to be with us for at least 15 years. Certain areas of teaching have even more critical problems than the general one which I have outlined. The shortage of engineers and scientists is very acute. Most of the graduates in mathematics or science go into industry or government. Very few enter public school teaching. And the shortage of teachers is very acute at the higher level. For example, we have no doctoral candidate com- pleting work in mathematics or science planning to accept a teaching position in higher education next fall. The shortage of high school mathematics and science teachers is so acute that the American Association for the Advancement of Science has set up pilot programs in four states, including Ore- gon, during 1956-57. The University has been granted $19,000 to add two counselors to help work with science and math teachers within 150 miles of the University. This is one way to improve in service the present shortage of science and mathematics teach- ers. But we must also tap other sources of supply if we are to train more engineers and scientists. The University trains many kinds of teachers. At present most are trained for high school teaching, because traditionally the University and liberal arts colleges have trained students for secondary school teaching. Two years ago the State Board of Higher Education authorized the training of elementary and secondary teachers at all institutions which train teachers. In the fall of 1954 the first class of juniors entered the program for elementary teachers at the University and 60 of them are grad- uating this spring. We expect to have 125 elementary teachers completing this program each year at the end of the 1957-1959 biennium, and in a period of years it appears likely that we shall have as many elementary graduates as we have secondary. r I AHE YOUNG GIRLS going into elementary teaching are, by and ?*? large, excellent students?and most attractive. About a third of them are taking honor courses, and of the five finalists for Queen of Junior Weekend in 1955, all were majors in elementary education. A third area in which teachers are trained at the University is special education. They are being trained to diagnose the educa- tional ills of children who are not learning to read or who are emotionally maladjusted. About 20 teachers are trained in this field each year, although probably twice as many could readily be employed. Since the State System of Higher Education was organized, the center for training of school administrators, ele- mentary and high school principals and superintendents has been located at the University. The University has been fortunate in securing two grants from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the first in 1951. The original grant was $265,000. Most of this money was spent at the University of Oregon with generous assistance to Washington State College, the University of Idaho and Montana State University, and to groups of professional educators. Dur- ing the past four and one-half years we have carried out many researches, two types of which have been especially promising? that of community analysis and its influence on school administra- tion, and the multi-disciplinary seminars, whereby we bring the knowledge from many of the liberal arts departments to bear on the training of school administrators. We have recently been informed that an additional sum of $162,650 has been granted to the University to carry on for four more years the research and training program for school ad- ministrators. Parenthetically it may be said that we have no short- age of administrators who qualify for principals' and superin- tendents' credentials. Patty Fagan teaches a new song to a couple of third grade girls named Virginia and Sue during student teaching session. Patty Fagan, who is among the first 60 students to finish the elementary education course at the University, bubbles over with enthusiasm, according to her friends. She was a student teacher at Harris Elementary School in Eugene where some 25 third graders learned their three R's from her?and a little more besides. For instance, the only time she didn't bubble properly was shortly after the kids were studying shelters. This called for collecting branches, sticks and other greenery for construction of small huts. It was a successful lesson and everything was fine until a few days later when 15 of the youngsters broke out with a rash. So did Mrs. Grace Oney, the regular teacher. So did Patty Fagan. And all because o young fellow named "Butch" had inadventently included some poison oak with the greenery he was gathering. Somewhere in Dr. Paul Jacobson's article about teacher shortage you'll run across the conservative observation that the young ladies in elementary education aren't bad look- ing?a point on which Miss Fagan stands as a prime ex- ample. She was the "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" her fresh- man year and was on the Homecoming Court a couple of years later. This fall she will teach fifth grade at Forest Hills Grade School in the Lake Oswego area where her mother also teaches. Some fifth graders have all the luck! One final teacher training activity is provided in a contract with the International Cooperation Administration to train teach- ers in Nepal, a country halfway around the world, where about 97 per cent of the people are illiterate. In addition to training 1,050 teachers overseas, we have on the Eugene campus eight Nepalese students who will become the nucleus of a teacher train- ing institution in Nepal. Professor Hugh B. Wood has ben directing their training on the campus after spending one year in Nepal. He is returning with these students in June. At present we have two other persons in Nepal, Professor Waldemar Olson and Dr. Charles D. Byrne, who is chief of the mission and is specifically interested in the development of the University in Nepal. We expect to have 12 or 13 Nepalese students, among them two women, on campus be- ginning September, 1956. The teachers we are training in Nepal also fail to meet the demand in that country. In the forseeable future the School of Education faces a short- age of teachers both here and abroad. But it's not only teachers that are in short supply. The shortage extends to trained persons at all levels. And it looks like the shortages will get worse in many areas?among them engineering, science, medicine, nursing and teaching?during the decade which lies ahead. 4 Old Oregon Photon : Marcia Mauney Patty keeps plenty busy during teaching sessions.

What Mokes Jimmy By Chuck Mitchelmore A ray of brightness broke into a dull, dreary evening to help University students welcome Jim Bailey home after victorious race against John handy. * m w## mm Jim Bailey's first victory in track was a broadjump championship. He has run a long ways since then TT WAS A FEW days before the big race in Los Angeles. From my sports desk on the Oregon Daily Emerald, I called Jim Bailey and told him I'd "schemed" my way into making the trip. His response was typi- cal. "It's nice that you could work it out, Chuck, ' he began, "but don't you think you're wasting a lot of time and money going all the way down there for just one race? "You know, really now, the more I think about this thing, the more ironic it gets. Here Landy comes all the way from Aus- tralia?that's 8,000 miles?and they can't even get the best in the country to run against him. Okay, maybe I'm overstating it a little, but you don't really think it's worth it, do you?" Fortunately I didn't give his words a chance to sink in. So I was there that May 5 in Los Angeles to witness something even more ironic: John Landy, holder of the record in the mile run, comes 8,000 miles to be beaten by his fellow countryman, Jim Bailey in the first four-minute mile in America. Jim ran the mile in 3:58.6 that day and it was one of the big stories of my life?but not the biggest. My biggest story is knowing Jim Bailey. I know him through my work as sports editor of the student newspaper; moreover June-July 1956 Under watchful eye of Track Coach Bill Bowerman, Oregon's Bill Bellinger (left) and Jim Bailey make the rounds of the track in practice session. Bring members of the University's track team means lots of travel for these stars. Dellin- ger and Bailey consult railroad timetable with Coach Bowerman. we had a French class together. We used to discuss track in French until my vocabu- lary gave out. Feeling as he did about it, why did Ore- gon's most famous foreign exchange student run in Los Angeles that Saturday? "Because I was invited," Jim says. But I don't think that tells everything. I remember the talks we had about his famous countryman and friend: "Landy is like a clock?a really great runner. You're sort of hypnotized when you run against him". And I remember what Jim had said about making the Australian Olympic team: "Landy's in automatically, of course. And now that some of these other guys down there are running 4:01's, it means that I'll have to do at least that well here. I should do better?maybe even run a four-minute mile." But what made Jim Bailey run in the first place? Why did he keep running after his graduation from high school in the suburbs of Sydney in 1946? 'At first it was to keep in condition during the off season for rugby," he says. "I went to night school for three years (earning enough credits to become a sophomore eligible for varsity competition his first year at Oregon) and I worked during the day, then played tennis or rugby the rest of the time. "Why did I keep running? Why do you do anything? I just liked it, I suppose." After awhile Jim saw that he wasn't going to get what he wanted with rugby or tennis so he turned to his running, "and that's where it all started." He had always been a track competitor during his school years. His first victory: "The time I won the New South Wales Ca- tholic Schools under-thirteen broad jump championship." After he finished night school in 1949 he picked up an Australian half-mile cham- pionship or two, ran second to Landy in the mile race four times, but beat him in an 880, sandwiched in a track tour of Europe and came to Canada in 1954 for the Empire Games. "At the time, I said good-bye to my folks, thinking I would see them in a month or two," Jim said. "That was over two years ago and I haven't been home yet." What brought Bailey to Oregon? The story the press told after the Landy race was part of it: "He counted his money, found he had just enough for bus fare to Eugene and no more, and that was it." But there were other things, Jim said, like the enthusiasm for Oregon of Canadian Runners Jack Hutchins and Doug Clement who are University graduates. "And then there was the reputation," he added. "A national champion (Bill Dellin- ger) and a good coach (Bill Bowerman) ? and I liked the campus after I saw it." And the Jim Bailey off the track? His complete openness endeared him to the corps of sports writers after the Los Angeles race. "I can't get over it," one of the veteran scribes told me, "he's so free and human; he tells everything. He's the greatest com- bination of runner and man I've ever seen!" They'd always laughed a bit about Jim's troubles in hanging on to a major field of study. He started at Oregon in geology and geography, switched to journalism for a term and then changed to business admin- istration last fall ("I've always liked mathe- matics") . But Jim's changes aren't the kind that the third-string football lineman makes to stay in school. He is a solid B-average student despite the time his workouts take from studies. His athletic scholarship work project calls for him to assist Athletic Publicist Art Litchman with mailing and general office work. In the fall and winter it means serving as "Press Relations Officer" (a self-desig- nated title) for the visiting newspapermen, stocking the writers with statistics after games and running errands for them. And the future of Jim Bailey? The bulk of the United States season was over for Jim with the NCAA championships in Ber- keley June 15-16. But it will be a short rest for the first four-minute miler in America. He hopes to work in Portland for awhile, flying to Australia in August just in time for the beginning of the running season there. His fiance, Janet Somers, a Univer- sity sophomore from Fall Creek will join him sometime in October. Jim's now-cer- tain participation for Australia in the Olym- pics at Melbourne in late November and early December will be climaxed by his marriage to Janet in December. Whatever it was that kept Bailey chang- ing his fields of study seems to have affected his future, too. Originally he had planned to retire after the Olympics and "maybe try to write a little about track." But now he has decided to return to Oregon with Janet next winter term for a final season of running in lemon and green togs. It's a de- cision which should make lots of Webfoot track fans happy?including a group of Eugene elementary school children. They got acquainted with Jim in the hallways of McArthur Court last basketball season. They were afraid that if he left they would- n't have anybody to talk to next year. A little overwhelmed by welcome of University students and fellow Sigma Chis on return from Los Angeles race, Bailey and fiance make plans to slip away. Old Oregon The Married Student Is Here To Stay By Helen Jackson Frye '53 June-July 1956 O THE AVERAGE Joe College or Betty Coed, anyone living in married stu- dents' housing at the Universtiy of Oregon might as well be living in outer space. And so it was with my husband and me until September, 1952, when, one week after our marriage, we moved into the Univer- sity's Amazon Housing Project. Since that time we have both received bachelor's de- grees; Bill has completed three years of law school; I have done one year of grad- uate work and have had one baby; and we have been student managers of the project for nearly two years. While we are indeed anticipating a life away from the University and the housing project, we both realize the social and financial benefits that accrue to students from low cost housing, easily accessible to the University campus. Married students' housing seems to have become as much a part of University con- pern as living facilities on campus?and no wonder, considering the ever-increasing number of married students. To date none of the apartments in the four University projects ? Columbia, Agate, Skinner's Butte or Amazon?is considered perma- nent. Formative plans are in the making for a series of 50-unit brick apartments to replace these temporary structures. The University's present housing proj- ects cannot meet the demands of the 882 married men and 208 married women en- rolled at the University. The Amazon Proj- ect with 248 apartments is by far the larg- est. The most common family arrangement is the school-going husband and either the housekeeping or working wife. In some in- stances both husband and wife go to school, and we have at least two cases where just the wife goes to school. One of our most interesting tenants is the Russell Sawdey family. This is by no means the usual family group in Amazon for it includes five children ranging in age from 10 years to 5 months. Sawdey is com- pleting his work for a doctor of art educa- tion and Mrs. Sawdey expects to receive her master's degree in education before they return to their home state of Minnesota sometime in August. Including the Amazon, the University maintains a total of 407 apartments and houses?less than half the number of mar- ried students. Rents vary, of course, depend- ing upon the size, location and amount of furniture for each living unit. The Amazon rent?to be raised from $26.00 to $32.00 in July?is the least expensive. As soon as a family is assigned to Ama- zon, they come to our apartment for keys, furniture requisitions and answers to the hundred and one questions new tenants have. If they are the average Amazon fam- ily they either have, expect to have shortly, or will have before they leave?children! The University, recognizing the demand for play facilities, maintains large fenced-in community play lawns plus an unfenced playground complete with swings, slide, tee- ter-totter and merry-go-round. "When sum- For Russell Sawdey, who drew the cartoon on the preceding page, balancing babies and books is old stuff. Sawdey and his wife have five children, yet both have been working for advanced degrees at Oregon. mer school tenants move in?many of them are teachers with three or four children? we have literally hundreds of children of all sizes and ages within an area of some three blocks square. Winter time poses the greatest problem because during the rainy season the ground is too damp and swampy for play and the children are confined to the apartments. According to Housing Di- rector W. N. McLaughlin '49. the Univer- sity hopes to improve Amazon drainage this fall. Most of the tenants are congenial and seem to adjust readily to the inconveniences which come hand in hand with low cost housing and congested living. Some cannot adjust and are perpetual complainers; others do not even try and move out im- mediately. One couple from California* who had accepted an apartment sight un- seen, were so horrified when they arrived to find that the $26.00 per month rental did not include carpeting and drapes that they refused to move in at all. On the other hand a man was actually apologetic because he had come to ask for a gallon of paint to repaint a bedroom which became water streaked when the roofing blew away during a storm. His reply to our condolences was: "Heck, for $26.00 a month we didn't even expect an indoor toilet." In between these two extremes are the masses with their minor problems-?leaking fau- cets, neighbors with blaring radios or tele- vision sets, drivers who won't observe the speed limit, and oil stoves that refuse to burn. While the rules and regulations for ten- ants vary slightly from project to project the University has maintained as much of a "hands off'1 policy as possible. Most married students want to live as families and would balk at a system of student government, traffic courts or any of the social trappings connected with on-campus living. Those regulations which are imposed on tenants deal mainly with traffic and fire safety. In addition the married student usually does not have time for participation in nor- mal undergraduate student affairs. After his time has been divided between studies and supporting his family, there isn't much left for extracurricular activities. There are also a great many graduate students in the projects who are not at all interested in undergraduate activities. We have noted that each family seems to have its own special interests, however. Some are out- door families; some have interests connect- ed with schools or churches. With so many divergent interests it would be impossible and unwise to administer married students' housing along the lines of residence halls for single students. This does not mean that married students have not contributed to campus life in gen- eral. In Amazon alone we have athletic stars, Phi Beta Kappas, school administra- tors and scholarship winners. Married stu- dents are not unique any more and are taken pretty much as a matter of course by the rest of the students. But with their in- crease new problems have arisen for the University. As the University of California Housing Supervisor so aptly said, "If we believe that higher education is a good thing (and who are we to deny it ?) and if we also believe that marriage is a good thing (and think how shocked people would be if we denied that), why should we be fearful that the two won't mix?" It seems pretty obvious that the married student is here to stay. 10 Old Oregon Class Kemions CLASS OF 1916 was ably represented at reunion by Clara Erdman Wells (left) and Evangiline Husband Layton.

In social life or business, the calls you make are only part of the value of the telephone. Often the calls you receive are even more important. A date for Judy for Saturday night. An invitation to a luncheon for Mother. A neighbor inviting Jimmy over for a birthday party. A call for Dad, with good news about a job or a business order. So in looking at your telephone bill, be sure to count the calls you BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM get as well as those you make. Often it means the bill covers about twice as much service as you usually figure. Day and night, every day in the year, few things give you so much for so little as the telephone. It takes you to people and it brings people to you. NEW TV SHOW..."TELEPHONE TIME"... with John Nesbitt's real life stories the whole family can enjoy. EVERY SUNDAY OVER CBS. See local newspapers for time and channel Idaho State's Steve Belko Named UO Basketball Coach Steve Belko, a veteran coach who has pro- duced four straight Rocky Mountain Conference champions and an equal number of NCAA tournament teams since 1953 at Idaho State College, has joined the Oregon staff as basket- ball coach. Belko, a 39-year-old native of Gary, Ind., who played his college basketball at Compton (Calif.) JC and the University of Idaho, had been head coach at Idaho State for six seasons and comes to Oregon with a record of 108 wins and 52 losses. Belko's appointment was announced by Uni- versity of Oregon Athletic Director Leo Harris on June 2 following the completion of negotia- tions with Belko. Harris had directed a two months search for a new Oregon basketball coach to replace Coach Bill Borcher, who re- signed following completion of the 1956 bas- ketball season. Belko was selected from a field of more than 50 applicants. His appointment has been ap- proved by University President 0. Meredith Wilson. "Belko has a wonderful record, is highly re- spected by his fellow coaches and comes to Oregon with recommendations from leaders in many fields other than athletics," Harris said. The former Vandal star, who was an all- Northern Division selection and one of the league's top scorers during his three years in the conference, said he was pleased to join the Webfoot staff and looked forward with a great deal of interest to coaching in the Pacific Coast Conference. "I don't coach any particular style of game," Belko added, "but would rather fit the style to the situation. If a running game is going to be our best system, then we'll run and if the sit- uation seems to fit itself to a set style of attack, then that's what we'll use." Belko faces a rebuilding job at Oregon with only two of the 1956 regulars returning and he noted, "I realize there is a big job ahead and I will approach it with enthusiasm. I am sure we can have good basketball at Oregon with the help of all those who are interested in the uni- versity and its athletic program." Belko swept through the Rocky Mountain Conference with a perfect record in 1953 and Internationally famous Hungarian String Quartet will be in residence at the University for three weeks beginning July 2. Formal concerts will be presented on campus July 5, 10 and 17. Several informal demonstrations and lectures and limited amount of private teaching will also be given, according to UO Music School. 20 then lost only one league game in each of the following three seasons. Prior to joining the ISC staff, he was assistant basketball coach at the University of Idaho. He had started his coaching career in 1939 at St. Maries High in Idaho and then coached Lewiston to three straight district titles before entering the Navy in 1943.

UNION CARBIDE AND CARBON CORPORATION 30 EAST 42ND STREET [UM NE* YORK 17. N.Y. In Canada: UNION CARBIDE CANADA LIMITED, Toronto this is what I mean by opportunity says New England Life General Agent THOMAS H. GILLAUGH (Dartmouth College '46) What part has "opportunity" played in your career? "Although I'd had several years of successful experience, it was a big step for me when, at 27, I was made manager of an established New England Life general agency in my home city of Dayton. Three years later I was named general agent. But most significant we ? myself and my agents ? are free to profit by our own initiative day by day, with constant and positive support from the company. I look forward to an in- creasingly rewarding future." How about future opportunities? "Opportunity is a continuing thing with New England Life. We build our clientele on a professional basis. Remuneration is cumulative, part coming from maintenance of policies in force, part from repeat sales to established clients and part in developing business from new sources. You might say that the agent sets his own pace for advancement." What is the promise for a man about to enter the business? "Actually, there never was a better time to go to work for New England Life. Our dynamic growth in recent years ? 28% gain in new business in 1955 ? our District Agency Development Plan, our superlative policy contract are three of several factors which should be interesting to the man considering a new career. I would suggest that such a man write directly to Vice President L. M. Iluppeler, 501 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts for further details."

NEW YORK MEETING "Spring Tonic" was the theme of the New York Alumni dinner on May 3 at the Hotel Barbizon in New York City. Over 50 alumni and friends gathered for a stimulating address on the charms of the Northwest by Oregon's elo- quent ambassador Frank Branch Riley. Mr. Riley wove a web of history, topography, nature, and peoples into a sparkling review of Oregon today. He was introduced by his long-time friend Col. John MacGregor '23 with a reveal- ing testimonial to his extensive service to the State of Oregon. After dinner Mr. Riley's vivid word pictures were enlivened by President Philip Bergh '27 with a slide show in color of 100 transparencies. The scenes represented all parts of Oregon and included striking air views over the angle from Mt. Shasta to Mt. Rainier and east to the Snake River Canyon.

MEALS APPEAL Steak dinner in Klamath Falls and fried chicken in Lakeview were a pleasant repast for our visiting faculty members in those two cities. Dr. Francis E. Dart, assistant professor of physics; Dr. E. A. Kretsinger, acting director of the University radio studios; Miss Jessie Puckett, assistant professor of physical educa- tion, and Alumni Director Bass Dyer found it a little difficult to concentrate on the subject at hand after enjoying such a meal. But they did accomplish their purpose of bringing a fresh new report of Oregon to the alumni in those two communities. Incidentally, there are 41 alumni living in Lakeview and we had a total of 28 persons present for the dinner meeting.

Cas is always a welcome visitor in every community but especially so in Eureka. For those of you who did not attend the meet- ing you should watch for the announcement next year and plan to be on hand.

Dr. Bob Campbell of the Department of Eco- nomics and Dr. Art Hearn of the School of Education discussed various aspects of their respective activities and were accompanied by Bass Dyer who pointed out some of the de- velopments taking place on the campus. While the Bend alumni enjoyed the meeting we are certain that Dr. Campbell was the most enthusiastic of all as he managed to get in a few pleasant moments on the Deschutes River; with excellent results, too. No wonder there are several faculty members who are anxious to be included on such a trip next year. C. L. Eaton, Parkrose businessman and civic leader, died recently follow- ing a heart attack.
