The following editorial by Anita Holmes,
editor of the "Oregon Daily Emerald," ap-
peared in the final spring term issue of the
campus paper. It is reprinted here because
it gives a picture of the Oregon student
today. . . .
Troubled world?
Sure it is. And he's part of the genera-
tion that's growing up in it. Go with him
to his 9 o'clock on Monday morning. Lis-
ten to those lecturers on the Far East.
It's a mess over there. Nobody's found
that fire escape leading out. Visiting ex-
perts agree.. .. "grave situation, dark days
ahead." And now he heard talk of 1952
being the really black year.
Read the letters his mom writes.
She used to talk about the garden and
new curtains and Dad's arthritis. Now she
worries about Ridgway and Nehru and
Mao and Van Fleet. Who were they yes-
terday?
Talk to some of his friends.
Fellows are giving, girls are accepting
diamonds. They're planning a wedding in
a week or two. The war, you know... if
it hadn't been for the war, we would've
waited.
Read a newspaper with him.
Headlines hold new significance. He can
almost quote Eric Johnston, Charles Wil-
son, Omar Bradley, Lewis B. Hershey. He
watches every word out of the United Na-
tions. But no longer does he seriously ex-
pect to see "Peace in Korea" on the front
page.
Join an all-night bull-session with him.
Try for a commission? Take a chance
with the draft? What about the Air Force
... is it worth giving so many years?
Write an exam with him.
In the middle of "circle the item which
most correctly refers to the topic at right,"
feel?with him?like throwing away the
pen. Oh hell... what's the use. What
good's this junk going to do me in a war?
Sounds like he wants sympathy, doesn't
it? Or a shoulder to lean on. Or someone
to shed a tear for him.
Troubled world. Troubled kid.
What kind of life can he expect to mold
in these unsettled times... poor fellow.
Sympathy. That's what he needs.
That's where you're wrong. Dead wrong.
Because?
His is a fiber as strong as any man's. His
is a soul that doesn't need shoulders or
tears or sympathy or solicitude.
Sure, there's trouble. Sure, he's aware
of it.
But he has a life to live. He has no time
to be an "oh hell... what's the use" man.
He's got goals to set and goals to reach
and good to do.
It's going to take guts ... and he's got
'em.

An active scholar
and educator
retires after long
service to the University
Dan dark Ends
Oregon Career
Af ter 31 Years
By Bill Frye
'T^HIRTY years of service and scholar-
ship at the University of Oregon will
come to an end this month for Dr. Dan E.
Clark, head of the department of history,
as he retires from the teaching field.
His retirement will mark the termina-
tion of a long career as educator, author,
and student of history and political science.
In a way, it's ironic that he should be
concluding a professional career that the
white-haired professor had not even con-
sidered as an undergraduate student more
than 50 years ago. He admits today that
his interest was in journalism until late
in his college days at the University of
Iowa.
"One thing that I didn't want to do was
teach," Dr. Clark says, smiling.
But any aspirations which he had for
the realm of the fourth estate were tempor-
arily dismissed from his mind when he
was offered a position in the library of the
State Historical Society located on the
Iowa campus.
"It not only helped finance my school-
ing," Dr. Clark points out, "but it aroused
in me a greater desire to know history."
And an outstanding career in historical
studies began.
Soon after that time, in 1907, he gradu-
ated with a bachelor of arts degree in
history. During the next three years he
studied political science, and in 1910 re-
ceived a doctor of philosophy degree in
that subject.
For a man who has written extensively,
studied in Europe, and received as many
honors as this transplanted Iowan, it
would appear that early opportunities for
schooling were plentiful. On the contrary,
says Dr. Clark. Grade and high school
facilities in his home town of Ogden, Iowa
June 1951
were far from comparable to opportunities
in modern education. His own high school
graduating class numbered 12 students,
with one teacher responsible for teaching
in the entire school.
From the time he left the University of
Iowa until the entry of the United States
into World War I, Dr. Clark was associate
editor of the Iowa Journal of History and
Politics, a position that satisfied his for-
mer leaning toward journalism, while per-
mitting him to follow his chosen field. His
introduction to the teaching field also came
at this time when he became a lecturer
in the political science department at Iowa.
With the coming of the war, he left the
university and volunteered his services to
the American Red Cross, which, at that
time, was undergoing growing pains as a
result of an expanded program.
It wasn't until 1921 that Dr. Clark left
the Middle West to come to Oregon. "One
thing that influenced me to leave my home
state," he comments, "was my wife. She
was from Tacoma, and the Pacific Coast
became our home."
With his appointment to the University
faculty, the staff of the Oregon history de-
partment numbered four. The size of the
staff then, as compared to the nine mem-
bers in the department now, he points out
as an example of how the University has
changed in the last 30 years. At that time
only 2,200 students attended Oregon.
At Iowa, he held a position on the Daily
Iowan, college newspaper, was tapped for
membership in Scimitar and Fez, a senior
men's honorary, and later became a mem-
ber of Phi Beta Kappa.
After joining the faculty at Oregon, he
continued to take an interest in college
Dr. Dan E. Clark will retire this month
after 30 years as an active member of the
University faculty.
outside the classroom. Since its formation,
he has been one of the two voting faculty
members on the Student Union Board, and
member of the advisory council to the
University president, composed of elected
faculty members.
In his own field, Dr. Clark has been
active as vice president of the Oregon His-
torical Society, and is a member of the
board of editors of the University of Wash-
ington publication, Pacific Northwest His-
tory.
The Pacific Northwest has been a pri-
mary interest for him since he forsook the
corn-belt country for this area three de-
cades ago. An ardent student of North-
west history, he is at present writing a book
on the subject. Publication date is still un-
certain, he explains, but completion will
come soon after his retirement.
Aside from finishing his book, Dr. Clark
has no definite plans following his retire-
ment.
This spring, when the black-robed mem-
bers of Friars, Oregon's senior men's hon-
orary, wound their way among Junior
Weekend crowds, they paused before smil-
ing, white-moustached Dr. Clark, inviting
him to honorary membership on the basis
of service and scholarship meriting the
highest recognition.
This, however, is only one of the many
indications that Dr. Clark's career has
been a story of success and meritorious
endeavor, one the University of Oregon
will not forget.
Early this spring four recognized authori-
ties on nationalism, Russia, and the Far
East came to the University campus to con-
duct a week-long institute covering these
fields. The following article is a summary
of their opinions on a vital national force
contributing to the upheaval of the Asiatic
world.
RATIONALISM, little more than a text-
book word a few years ago, is recog-
nized today as a nationwide impulse
stronger than any other force in the world.
This was the topic for a special institute
on the campus in April. Specifically en-
titled "Russia, the Far East, and the Unit-
ed States?Nationalism," it neglected very
little of the modern world before the last
speaker ended the week's program.
The institute was something new in edu-
cation at the University. Dr. Paul S. Dull,
coordinator of the Far Eastern department,
was organizer and man behind the men on
the stage. He was not organizing a politi-
cal science conference or a convention, but
an institute which brought a subject and
its specialists to the entire University for
one week.
Classes, discussions, seminars, panels,
and lectures were presented to audiences
of students, faculty, and city residents. In
that short time, four experts on the insti-
tute topic gave the University a short course
in nationalism.
Now, a look at the four men and what
they had to say that attracted hundreds of
University students into crowded confer-
ence rooms and auditoriums for five days.
Robert Carver North was the name on
the program most familiar to the layman.
His recent novel, "Revolt in San Marcos,"
won the Commonwealth Club of San Fran-
cisco Gold Medal Award for Fiction. Now
at Stanford University's Hoover Institute
and Library, he attended the Lucknow con-
ference on Far Eastern affairs in 1950 and
visited six southeastern Asia countries on
his return trip to the United States. So it
was with first-hand authority that North
was able to talk on "The Forces of Na-
tionalism in China" in his main campus
appearances.
He warns that the United States is play-
ing into communist hands by supporting
Asiatic leaders whose policies are hated
and outdated. But he feels that "we can
put across democracy in Asia with ingen-
uity and courage."
The young man from Stanford offers a
three-point program for the success of
democracy in Asia. It would be based on
the right of peoples to select their own gov-
ernments, increased material aid through
the United Nations, and a proclamation of
the peoples' right to economic and social
betterment without the loss of civil lib-
erties.
"Asia is in an upheaval which we have
ignored while the Soviets have harnessed
the revolutionary discontent and turned it
to. their own uses," he maintains, and ex-
plains that "two broad human impulses"
are operating in Asia. They are a refusal
to submit to present conditions any longer,
and an intention to drive out Western in-
fluence.
These impulses have led to three goals.
They are true independence, social and eco-
nomic betterment, and peace to achieve
these ends.
So it is up to the West to view these
goals and problems of Asia from the Asian
point of view if we are to succeed in turn-
ing them away from communism. He re-
futes the argument that Asians are not
capable of making foreign ideologies work
by pointing to the success of communism
stopped now, they could hardly hope to
catch up with the United States in world
power. This situation would change, how-
ever, if Russia should gain control of Ger-
many. There is no doubt that Russia has
the capacity to overrun Europe, but the
United States can steadily outproduce them
industrially?a crucial factor," he explains.
He predicts that both democratic and
communist blocs will become too strong
to afford a war in 10 or 15 years. Then
other means than recourse to arms will de-
termine on which side the nations of the
world will be.
His program would "divorce commun-
ism and nationalism" in the backward and

in China, and he believes that many Asians,
including those of the upper economic
classes, have a naive and misplaced faith
in communism, while they view the best
intentions of the West as attempts to re-
vive western imperialism.
Ideas are the western world's greatest
weapon, according to the young author.
"Ideas can best be stopped by better ideas
. . . therefore the United States should
make it plain that our form of government
gives an opportunity for a freely expressed
will of the majority."
This is the road laid down by Robert C.
North. It deals as much with the need for
nationalism in the United States as with
the rise of it in the Far East.
Julian Towster, one of the leading au-
thorities in the United States on the Soviet
Union, brings a message strikingly like
North's in some respects. He advocates a
high-powered propaganda campaign, a
broadened Point Four program and a dem-
onstration that we have a better "road to
unity" than anyone else.
This political expert is a respected au-
thority on Soviet affairs, and is now teach-
ing political science at the University of
California. He has been secretary to the
chief of the Department of State, propa-
ganda analyst of the Department of Justice,
and social science analyst in the Office of
Strategic Services. He also taught at the
University of Chicago, where he received
all three of his degrees.
"If Russia's communistic expansion were
colonial areas of the world. He maintains
that the Soviet Union has made political
capital out of the "tremendous urge for
self - determination and self - expression
among peoples of backward areas."
Now the United States must point up the
"frauds and fictions" of the Soviet national
policies, and show how ultimately the
Soviet Union always insists on domination
and control, according to the California
professor.
He rejects the theory that Russia has
been motivated by national interests in
the postwar period; the base of the Soviet
policy is the idea that there can be no se-
curity for Moscow until the ultimate goal
of world communism is reached.
And the weapons Towster would have
the United States use?a strong propa-
ganda campaign, more technical assistance
to backward areas, and demonstration that
the United States has a better "road to
unity" than anyone else.
Problems of another part of the world
much less familiar than Russia and China
are brought into view by Hubertus J. van
Mook, former lieutenant governor general
of the Dutch East Indies.
Van Mook asserts that more than any-
thing else, the countries of Southeastern
Asia need real cooperation between them-
selves and countries of the Western world.
To promote this cooperation, the free
world countries should offer assistance as
partners in the world community, not as
some influence from outside.
Old Oregon
Burma, Thailand, French Indo-China,
and Indonesia face four main problems?
unity, authority, economics, and external
relations. Unity is difficult because of dif-
ferences of language and races within these
nations.
Solution of the authority problem hinges
on the acceptance of a modern centralized
government instead of traditional primitive
authority. The vast amount of armaments
held by irresponsible groups has proved a
hindrance here, according to Dutch special-
ists. These armaments were left in South-
eastern Asia after the second world war.
Control of monetary exchange is ex-
tremely important to a solution of eco-
nomic difficulties in this part of the world.
Its geographical proximity to the major
countries of Asia has an important bearing
on the problem of external relationships,
he explains, commenting on solutions to
these problems.
"The real need for the new nations in
Asia is to give them something that will in-
spire them and give them confidence."
"The United States cannot give a cut
and dried system that will give them all
the answers to the future, but we can give
them cooperation which will give assur-
ance."
He admonishes that the United States
must be aware of the impression that Rus-
sian ideology has made in Asia. Russia
carried no responsibility for 19th century
imperialism in Asia, except for Russian
Asia, and "the rapid rise of Russia to power
impressed Asiatic leaders who could see
themselves imitating the Russian method."
"Russia has a closer approach to Asia,
both geographically and mentally, since
that country has a history of helping Asi-
atics with their revolutionary movements.
Russia has managed to create the ap-
pearance that she is only a disinterested
party to the new nations in Asia."
He considers the greatest weakness of
the West to be the over-emphasis on social
and economic conditions and the lack of a
real conviction in international approach.
This is apparent in the United Nations
where nations are unwilling to sacrifice
enough of their sovereignty to bring about
international cooperation.
He points to India as an example where
the western world has criticized that coun-
try's attitudes, which are justifiable in the
light of western action.
"If the Western world takes the right
attitude by an increased understanding of
Asian problems, these countries will repay
with an understanding of Western ideas
as they really are. Countries that are not
our allies are more important, because they
are more independent."

ter of colonies and lieutenant governor
general of the Netherlands East Indies.
He was born in Java, and has spent more
than 30 years in the Far East.
The place of Japan in the picture of

ment of Nobutka Ike. Born in the United
States of Japanese parentage, Ike is now
at Stanford University doing research on
Marxism and Japanese intellectuals.
"The Beginnings of Political Democracy
in Japan" is a book carrying his byline.
In 1946 he received a two-year demobili-
zation award from the Social Science Re-
search Council.
Speaking of a Japanese peace treaty and
democracy's future in that country he as-
serts that a "black cloud" will hang over
the future of democracy in Japan unless
the democracies help to develop there a
new and vital view of life.
"Basically, Japan is an unstable coun-
try, a country which has had great diffi-
culty in achieving a consensus. This
arises from the fact that the transforma-
tion of Japan into a modern state was
achieved with remarkable rapidity. Ideas
and institutions which had required cen-
turies to develop in Europe were adopted
in a matter of decades. The result was
that parts of the old Japan remained with-
out having become incorporated into a
new Japan," he explains.
He is optimistic about democracy's
chances for survival in the Far Eastern
country, but he warns that it must be-
come part of a way of life for the Japan-
ese. "Democracy must make sense to the
millions of people of Japan to become
truly effective."
"In the past the Japanese tried to
achieve democracy, and now that they
have it, they are going to try hard to keep
it. But at the same time, the task of democ-
racy is more than that of providing suit-
able institutions and procedures. It must
go beyond that and somehow help fill an
intellectual vacuum that exists in Japan.
If it does not, Japan might in the long run
embrace some form of totalitarianism.
"Japan today is threatened with intel-
lectual bankruptcy growing out of the
chaos of the post-war period. The remark-
able popularity of Marxism among Japan-
ese intellectuals is explained by this in-
tellectual breakdown."
Leader or L awmaleers
An active interest in government has led Paul Patterson
to the top position in the Oregon state senate
By Gretchen Grondahl
A FINE guide and leader who may easily
-*?*? move up in the political world... ."
that's what the Oregon Voter's "Who's
Who in the 1951 Legislature" says of
Senate President Paul L. Patterson '23.
The Hillsboro lawyer was elected presi-
dent of the Oregon senate in January after
serving seven years in that group as sena-
tor from Washington county.
The story of how Patterson became ac-
tive in the political world begins with his
undergraduate days at Oregon.
"Politics seems to be more or less in-
grained into my very being," he explains.
"All during my University days, I was
mixed up in one political organization or
another, although I never did run for a
student body office."
The Senate president received his bache-
lor of business administration degree from
Oregon in 1923, and went on to obtain
a doctor of jurisprudence degree from the
law school in 1926. On the campus he was
a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, commerce
fraternity.
"After graduation," he explains, "I in-
herited a political atmosphere at the very
outset of my professional life by entering
the office of a very strong Republican
worker in Washington county."
In 1926 he settled in Hillsboro where he
accepted a position as deputy district at-
torney. He filled this position until 1933,
when he entered law practice in his own
office. Patterson still continues this prac-
tice in partnership with Neal W. Bush '34.
He has followed a general practice with
emphasis on municipal and school district
cases, and has represented all of the cities
in Washington county at one time or an-
other, serving as city attorney for most
of them.
As a result of his early legal and politi-
cal background, he accepted a position
in the central committee of Washington
county, and has worked almost continu-
ously in the committee since that time.
In 1944 Earl E. Fisher, then Senator
from Washington county, decided to run
for United States senator. This left a va-
cancy on the ticket, so Patterson decided
to file for the job, and was elected to the
state legislature. He's been there ever
since, working actively on education and
highway problems.
As a member of the interstate co-opera-
tion committee, the Hillsboro senator sug-
gested and participated in setting up the
regional highway committee of 11 Western
states. This committee has made large
strides in making highway systems uni-
form, along with markings and controls in
these states.
Patterson's main activities in the educa-
tional field have been in the reorganiza-
tion of the state's schools. He was serv-
ing; as chairman of the educational com-
mittee when the basic school law became
effective, and has worked on the basic
school formula.
Representing an area which is primarily
agricultural, Patterson has also been in-
terested in Oregon's milk control laws, and
has largely carried the burden for the
state's dairy interest in the senate.
The senator has not failed to find time
for alumni and community activities, how-
ever. For many years he has been alumni
representative for Washington county and
is president of the Oregon Dads.
The lanky legislator admits an active
interest in community and national organi-
zations "In college, I was a chronic and
persistent joiner. This trait has never left
me," he laughs.
In community activities, he has served
as director, vice-president, and president
of the Hillsboro chamber of commerce.
Active in Rotary projects, he is a former
president of the club. For three years he
was state chairman for the American Le-
gion junior baseball program, and has
served as commander of Hillsboro's Ameri-
can Legion post.
Patterson is married to the former Geor-
gia S. Benson '24. The Pattersons have
three children, one of which, Paul Pat-
terson, Jr., is attending the University.
The younger Patterson is a junior in econ-
omics at the University.
Fishing and golfing used to be the fa-
vorite hobbies of the Oregon senator, but
now politics have completely ousted golf
and have nearly pushed fishing out of the
picture. This predominant interest in gov-
ernment, however, only emphasizes his
firm conviction that all people in the state
should display a greater interest in their
government.
"I like to tell people over and over
again that if they will not run their gov-
ernment for themselves, it will be run by
others for them," he affirms.
"Most flaws in government are traceable
to lack of interest on the part of its citi-
zens," he claims, "and efficient government
can only be maintained by interested,
earnest persons who want to do something
about it."
And Paul Patterson is one of those in-
terested, earnest citizens who will undoubt-
edly do something about it.

College students improve reading speed by means of a "rate:ontroller" in the University reading clinic under the supervi-
sion of Richard Gates, student assistant in the clinic.
Visual perception in reading is improved for high school stu-dents by a tachistoscope, which they use under the direction of
Jean Burns, student teacher in special education.
They Educate the Educators
TN ITS role of training educators to meet
problems in modern secondary educa-
tion, the School of Education boasts the
largest graduate program in the University
of Oregon. The number of graduate students
in education has increased sharply?
doubled, in fact?within the past five years.
This June the school will grant 125 master's
and 10 doctor's degrees in education.
This increase is common, however,
throughout the entire United States, accord-
ing to Paul B. Jacobson, dean of the school.
Another factor leading to the large gradu-
ate program is that the three Pacific Coast
states all require five years of college train-
ing for high school positions.
Five main fields of study are offered to
graduate students. These are (1) school ad-
ministration, (2) elementary and second-
ary principalships, (3) elementary super-
visory, (4) elementary education, and (5)
special teaching.
Oregon is the only school in the state
system that offers graduate work for prin-
cipals and superintendents. Graduate work
it, also given in elementary education.
When summer comes and the regular stu-
dents leave for vacation most schools and
departments in the University suffer a large
drop in enrollment, but not the education
school. Enrollment in education courses is
so great that the school doubles its faculty
for the summer months. Last summer 850
students enrolled in summer education
courses, 600 of these majors in the field.
The enrollment for the entire University of
June 1951
by Lorna Larson
Oregon summer school was only about
1800. The dean of the education school is
the director of the entire summer session.
Now let's take a look at how the school
trains its students for teaching positions.
Students planning to become teachers no
longer start as majors in the education
school their freshman year. The school is
on an uppei division basis. Education ad-
visors are assigned to students desiring to
become teachers during their freshman and
sophomore years, but actual major work in
the field is postponed until the junior year.
During the first two years, students take
work in the college of liberal arts so they
may devote their time exclusively to basic
work in subject fields and to liberal studies.
Not all students in the education school
are majors. In fact, many students are en-
couraged to keep history, political science,
or economics, for instance, as their majors
and then take the education courses re-
quired for a teacher's certificate.
At Oregon, students may prepare to
teach literature, languages, speech, social
science, biological science, general science,
physical science, mathematics, art, busi-
ness, music, health and physical education,
and approved combinations of these.
An extensive teacher-training program is
carried on for students in their junior and
senior years. Approximately 300 students
per year serve as student teachers in Eu-
gene's three junior high schools?Colin
Kelly, Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson?
and two high schools?Eugene and Univer-
sity.
Prospective teachers observe teaching
methods, work out their own lesson plans,
and teach classes under close supervision.
Student teachers are usually assigned to a
class for one period of 21 weeks for five per-
iods each week.
Regular Eugene school system teachers
serve as supervising instructors for the
training program in all fields except art,
music, and physical education. The Univer-
sity provides special training supervisors
for these three subjects.
The school's teacher training program
will benefit in years to come from an agree-
ment made recently with the Eugene school
district giving the University the right to
place about 300 student teachers in the
classrooms of the new Eugene high school,
when completed, or any other senior or jun-
ior high schools.
Special teachers will be selected to serve
as supervisory instructors for this program
at a higher rate of pay than the regular Eu-
gene teachers doing the work now. These
supervisory teachers will be given a smaller
teaching load in their respective schools so
they may devote more time to the teacher
training work. The school district will pro-
vide department heads in the fields in which
the University trains teachers.
The recent formation of an emergency
program to train more elementary school
teachers in the state of Oregon has opened

Junior Weekend, '51
The spirit of tradition and fun overcomes
stormy weather at Oregon's annual festival
"Far Away Places" and stormy weather came to the Oregon
campus for the sixty-first annual Junior Weekend celebration in
May, breaking a ten-year tradition of sunny weather.
Defying frequent downpours, the class of '52 announced, "The
rain may dampen activities, but not spirit," and began festivities by
reviving the traditional Friday afternoon terrace dance, held in the
Student Union.
Queen Jeanne Hoffman ruled over the three-day celebration with
princesses Nancy Allison, Ann Darby, Libby Miller, and Dot Po-
lanski, after the annual coronation at the eleventh annual all-campus
sing Friday night.
Enforcing Junior week traditions were members of the Order of
the "0", who dunked tradition violators daily in the Fenton pool.
Smoking on old campus, walking on the grass, frosh lids, and hair
ribbons brought watery punishment for most violators.
Junior week features were the painting of the "0" on Skinner's
Butte, campus clean-up, and the freshman-sophomore tug of war,
which left the defeated freshmen men splashing in the millrace less
than a minute after the contest began.
"Rainbow Rhapsody," keynote of the all-campus sing, featured
twenty living organizations who competed for sing honors Friday
night. Songfest awards were gathered by Alpha Phi and Sigma Al-
pha Epsilon.
The "Empress Gardens" of the all-campus luncheon Saturday
moved into MacArthur Court for the tapping processions of Mortar
Board, Friars, Scabbard and Blade, and Asklepiads, who invited a
total of 64 students into the four honoraries.
A drenched but persistent float parade traversed Eugene between
showers, displaying remote places and signs expressing various
opinions of the weather. "The Stairway to the Stars" float of Alpha
Delta Pi, Campbell Club, and Sherry Ross Hall took parade honors
over other paired living organizations.
Saturday night climax of the weekend was the Junior Prom, a
'Fathom Fantasy" where the royal court of Queen Jeanne I and the
Oregon Mothers were special guests.
Intermission highlights of the Prom were the presentation of the
Gerlinger Award to Jackie Pritzen as the outstanding junior woman,
the Koyle Cup to Bill Clothier, the outstanding junior man; and the
Maurice Hunter leadership award to Gerald Berreman. Druids,
junior men's honorary, tapped eight men for membership.
Absent from most weekend activities was the millrace, formerly
a traditional part of Junior celebrations. In 1911, three years after
the spring festival became officially known as Junior Weekend, the
first "Canoe Carnival" was initiated into weekend activities, and
remained a highlight for thirty years, after which elaborate barges
replaced canoes as competition grew keener.
The spring celebration began as "Junior Exhibition Day" in 1890,
when junior students were given time to prepare orations for ora-
torical contests held at commencement.
The weekend became an official holiday in 1903 when it was titled
'University Day." and set aside primarily for campus clean-up.

Old Oregon
A University problem?
a Hiving program9
for first year students
What about
the Oregon freshman?
By Bill Clothier
\ PERPETUAL conversation piece on
-*? *? the campus since its introduction to
the University last fall has been the de-
ferred living program.
Under the program, all freshmen live in
University dormitories during their first
year at college, some of them being affili-
ated with fraternal organizations, and there-
fore members of both dormitories and greek
organizations.
Before its actual inauguration on the
campus, there was much opposition to the
plan, but the program went into effect, and
the campus settled down to solving the
problems arising from its installation.
Since a large percentage of freshmen are
pledged to fraternal organizations, compro-
mises were made as to which house activi-
ties freshmen would serve, and when house
and dormitory events would be scheduled to
allow participation in both organizations by
the pledges.
Upper division independents were given
the responsibility for orientation of fresh-
men to independent living organizations,
and a counseling program was somewhat
expanded by the administration for aca-
demic orientation. The majority population
of dormitories became freshmen, and in
some dormitories, the percentage of upper-
classmen is as low as one fourth. As a re-
sult, discontent is not unusual.
The campus has been slow in adjusting
to the program, and the matter of divided
loyalties has arisen. Freshmen pledges liv-
ing in dormitories feel that they are actu-
ally only members being forced to live away
from their living organizations. These
pledges are living in a somewhat artificial
environment in that their activities in either
organization are controlled by compromise
of campus groups. In short, they belong no-
where and everywhere.
In the spring, the student body president
appointed a committee to study the prob-
lem, and make recommendations to the
campus for a positive program of freshman
living to eliminate juggling of freshmen
and their activities.
Eight students were appointed to a com-
mittee?four independents and four mem-
June 1951
bers of fraternal organizations. In the proc-
ess of drawing up recommendations, the
committee traveled to Stanford university,
where they examined first-hand, a living-in
program considered highly successful. Up-
on their return, they submitted a six-point
report, which proposed a complete living
program for freshmen. That report is now
awaiting campus approval.
Basically, here is the product. The plan
proposes all-freshman living units, deferred
rushing for men and women for one term,
and an intensified counseling and orienta-
tion program. A pre-registration orienta-
tion program is an integral part of the
counseling program.
As the OLD OREGON goes to press, the ori-
entation division of the report has been ton-
tatively accepted by the administration and
the student body. Fraternities and dormi-
tories have voted approval of the entire
plan. Heads of Houses, composed of presi-
dents of all women's living organizations,
have voted against the plan.
Under the program freshmen living units
would be established as a distinct and sep-
arate part of the dormitory system. Fresh-
men would have their own social program,
their own intramural schedule, and would
be governed by their own officers, under the
supervision of Sponsors and Resident As-
sistants.
The report suggests that the present
counseling system be modified so that one
person in each freshman unit, to be called
a "resident assistant," would do all coun-
seling in academic matters.
Personal counseling and discipline would
be the responsibility of another person, the
"sponsor." Sponsors would be employed
only in freshmen units, and would serve as
hall officers until regular freshman officers
were elected sometime during fall term. The
primary duty of sponsors would be to in-
culcate among freshmen a sense of respon-
sibility for their hall, and the University.
The sponsoring system would be a student
program, and sponsors would be selected
from upperclassmen at the University.
Under the orientation plan, already ac-
cepted, freshmen will report on the campus
four days before regular registration starts
for them or the upperclassmen. From 40 to
50 students will form an orientation com-
mittee, which will direct functions during
this period, and coordinate the program
with the counseling and sponsoring sched-
ule.
From the physical viewpoint, the living
program is feasible, though not entirely
definite. Due to the mechanical arrange-
ment of dormitories, the assignment of a
definite area for freshmen living units is
difficult, and will depend upon enrollment.
The committee feels that the highest goal
of the entire proposed living program is to
develop students whose first loyalty is to
the University of Oregon, and thereafter to
individual living organizations. Under such
a plan, freshman living units would make
a matter of divided loyalties a negligible
factor in the activities of living groups,
since the activities of freshmen would re-
volve entirely around freshman units as
living organizations. It is felt that the pro-
gram would also contribute to the develop-
ment of each individual freshman to the
fullest extent of his capabilities, allowing
ample time for academic orientation before
other considerations. Under the program,
the freshman would have immediate access
to expert advice for academic and personal
problems which arise in the beginning
weeks of college.
The plan does not, however, smooth out
all the difficulties arising from details of
the living program. It has merely been pre-
sented as a basis for a postive program, to
unite the entire campus with the adminis-
tration in providing a positive living pro-
gram for freshmen.
The plan is still being considered. The
campus may or may not accept it, but it is
one step toward the solution of a campus
problem, a positive effort arising out of a
sincere interest in Oregon's problems by
Oregon students.
New Alumni offices in the Student Union are among the most efficient in the nation.
A $ SPRING term ends this year, the
Alumni Asociation may look back on
one of its most active years in promotion of
the University and expansion of Asociation
activities.
The beginning of fall term found Alumni
offices in new quarters at the Erb Memorial
Student Union. Expanded facilities, new
equipment, and office layout make the new
office one of the finest in the nation with
regard to efficiency, according to Les An-
derson, '43, Alumni director. Over 175,000
pieces of mail left its doors during the past
year.
During the year, the Association placed
strong emphasis on its Educational pro-
gram, carrying educational "tours" to 17
cities during the year, and initiating a series
of informative firesides at the Student Un-
ion.
Educational tours carried outstanding
members of the faculty to Oregon's cities,
where they conducted discussions in their
various fields or on the University itself.
These informal confabs took alumni back
to school for a few hours, bringing them in
contact with the modern classroom at Ore-
gon. Looking ahead, the Association plans
to visit each Oregon community every two
years in the schedule of tours, traveling to
larger cities at least once a year.
Student Union firesides, primarily for
Lane county alumni, offered informative
discussions with various University pro-
fessors, bringing association members
closer to the faculty and the University's
educational program.
Included in general activities of the As-
sociation were the completion of a cam-
paign to put water in the mill race for which
alumni raised 84,000, promotion of the
cause of higher education in the Oregon
Oregon alumni file through the lines at thealumni barbecue during 1950
Homecoming.

legislature, and furthering University in-
terests in the state's high schools.
During the past year, the Alumni Hold-
ing company was reactivated into an or-
ganization called the University of Oregon
Development Fund. The fund exists pri-
marily to encourage gifts to the University,
and step-up activities during the 1951-52
year.
Another indication of the year's progress
is a streamlined, enlarged OLD OREGON,
published bi-monthly rather than each
month, and displaying a change in style.
Alumni receive this year more features and
photographs, and an enlarged class notes
section in the OLD OREGON magazine.
Within active alumni organizations, more
than 50 meetings of alumni clubs and
county organizations were held during the
year, including pre-game gatherings in Se-
attle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland,
and Denver.

Clubs became more active in encouraging
students to attend the University by placing
Oreganas in high schools and arranging for
University films to be shown.
March highlight of Association activities
was the third annual Alumni Institute in
the Multnomah hotel, Portland. Members
of the University faculty and administra-
tion discussed subjects of major importance
in an afternoon program.
Looking forward to next year's activities,
the Association nominated William N. Rus-
sell '35, Eugene, for president, and Charles
R. Holloway Jr. '35, Portland, for vice-
president. Russell has served as association
vice-president for the past two years.
Members of the five-man nominating com-
mittee were Hollis Johnston '21, Portland;
Josephine R. Johnson '29, Grants Pass; E.
L. Nielsen '35, Bend; Norval N. Thompson
'35, Albany, and Donald C. Walker '41,

Old Oregon
Do You
Remember When?
John W. Johnson, the University's first
president.
In 1902 an Oregon Weekly columnist de-
fended the eating of sugared oysters and other
means of mild hazing as an excellent tradition.
He commented, "The average freshman is an
inconsiderate animal that sorely needs to be
"'suasioned" into the conviction that there are
others to whom obedience and respect are due.
In 1900, Oregon's one dormitory was
placed under the control of the president of
the University and the superintendent of build-
ing, and all appointments for management or
service became subject to their control and re-
moval.
In 1906 a suggestion, on the advisability of
postponing "rushing" of freshmen until their
second year, or second term, was regarded im-
possible by a student and faculty committee.
In 1909 petitions were required by a com-
mittee on student affairs if students planned
any entertainment involving six or more stu-
dents. This included dinner, theater, driving,
and boating.
In 1919, James Fullerton was found guilty
of criminal libel against the president and stu-
dents of the University in charging that "im-
morality was rampant" at the institution.
In 1925 sophomore men initiated the cus-
tom of wearing blue jeans as the official class
garb on the campus. These trousers were made
of ordinary blue denim, and were also equipped
with the latest style in wide cuffs and wide belt
straps.
In 1933 the Museum of Fine Arts was of-
ficially opened to the people of the state of
Oregon. The structure was made without win-
dows so that the delicate textures of priceless
objects would not be harmed by bright sun-
light.
In 1939 the University scored an enroll-
ment of 3,505 students.
June 1951
THE CAMPUS
KWAX Broadcasts
The University's own radio station?
KWAX?made its initial broadcast early
in April, after a two-year struggle to put the
station on the airways.
The campus FM station operates at a
frequency of 88.1 megacycles, from the
third floor of Villard Hall. '
In June, 1949, Oregon had an FM sta-
tion, KDUK, operating on 10 watts. Its
broadcasts were only faintly heard on the
campus, however, and the station eventu-
ally ran into technical difficulties with regu-
lations of the Federal Communications
Commission.
A campaign to raise nearly $1,500 worth
of equipment necessary to begin operation,
was begun by Kappa Rho Omicron, radio
honorary. Money was collected by student
donations and special projects, and FCC
regulations were met.
Delayed again by FCC regulations which
prevented the use of KDUK as a station
name, the FM station gained a license un-
der the label, KWAX.
The station is operated principally by
Oregon students, who write scripts, broad-
cast, plan schedules for daily programs.
The station is under the jurisdiction of the
University speech department.
Campus Editors Named
Students named to head Oregon's three
major campus publications next year are
Lorna Larson. Portland, editor of the Ore-
gon Daily Emerald, Bob Funk, Ukiah,
Calif., editor of the Oregana, and Jackie
Pritzen, Westport, who will edit the OLD
OREGON.
Miss Larson, junior in journalism, served
as managing editor of the Emerald this
year, and formerly held the same position
on the OLD OREGON.
Funk, junior in English and associate
editor of the yearbook this year, will pub-
lish the '52 Oregana. He is present assist-
ant managing editor of the Emerald.
Miss Pritzen, junior in English, will suc-
ceed Stanley Turnbull. Portland, as editor
of the OLD OREGON. Managing editor of the
magazine for the past two terms, and pres-
ent associate editor on the daily newspaper,
she will become OLD OREGON editor follow-
ing publication of the August issue.
Tuition Raise
A probable raise in tuition fees will be
the result of a reduction in the state board
of higher education budget by the joint
legislative ways and means committee in
late April.
State representative Rudie Wilhelm, Jr.,
Multnomah, quoted the board as saying
that the reduced budget will force the board
to increase student fees at least 25 per cent.
This would mean an increase from $44 to
$55 per term.
In addition, from 60 to 70 faculty mem-
bers in the state system will be released as
a result of the cut. President H. K. New-
burn indicated, however, that this cut will
probably be met at Oregon by the natural
drop in faculty personnel which occurs at
the end of each year.
Players Suspended
Curt Barclay and Jim Loscutoff, varsity
basketball stars during the past year, were
suspended from the University for one year,
in May. The action was taken by the Uni-
versity student discipline committee, after
a closed hearing with the two basketball
players.
The committee gave no reasons to the
public for the suspension. Luscotoff, when
interviewed, stated that the two men had
broken a University code.
The two players were members of the
regular varsity line-up which led the Ore-
gon team to second place in Northern Di-
vision play. Barclay was a sophomore in
business administration; Loscotoff, a junior
in liberal arts. Both expressed hopes of
returning to the University, when the sus-
pension period closed next spring.
Officers and men of the University Reserve Officers Training Corps form ranks for theannual ROTC parade on Armed Forces day. The procession, which filed down Willam-
ette and 13th streets, included all forces of the military department.
Mothers Weekend
Almost 700 Oregon Mothers registered
on the campus for the annual Mothers
Weekend in May, held in conjunction with
the Junior Weekend celebration.
In addition to Junior Weekend activities.
Mothers attended a Student Union break-
fast, and the annual Mothers' Tea in Ger-
linger Hall, sponsored by the Eugene Moth-
ers' Club in conjunction with campus worn-
men's organizations.
Mrs. L. 0. Meisel, Eugene, was elected
president of the Oregon Mothers at a busi-
ness meeting of the organization following
the Saturday breakfast. Other mothers
elected to offices were Mrs. George Tiss, La
Grande, vice president; Mrs. Glen Porter,
Eugene, secretary; Mrs. Lamar Tooze, Port-
land, treasurer; Mrs. G. H. Oberteuffer,
Oswego, financial secretary; Mrs. Stacia
MacAlear, McMinnville, corresponding sec-
retary; and Karl Onthank, director of the
University placement service, executive sec-
retary.
The "Falcon" Closes
Eighteen years as a campus establish-
ment will come to an end this summer when
"The Falcon" closes its doors permanently
to make way for development of the Student
Union mall and parking lot.
The Onyx street restaurant, better known
as "The Bird," is the last building on the
Student Union block to be razed to com-
plete the mall development.
Designed and built in 1933 by two broth-
ers, Fred and Richard Guske, who were
then students at the University, the Falcon
is called a second home for students by
Clara Buerstatte, present owner.
When the building, located across the
street from John Straub dormitory, is razed,
landscaping on the Student Union block
will be completed. At present shrubbery is
growing on the lot, and grass has appeared
since April.
"There are a lot of wonderful memories
connected with the "Bird" for many, many
Oregon alumni and students," Mrs. Buer-
statte commented, when she announced
termination of business in June.
THE FACULTY
Ernst Retires
Dr. Rudolph H. Ernst, professor of Eng-
lish, will retire from the teaching field this
month after 28 years at the University. The
amiable, gray-haired professor came to Ore-
gon in 1928 after teaching 11 years at the
University of Washington.
The jovial, pipe-smoking scholar is fa-
miliar to gener-ations of college students, as
one of those professors who has watched
college enrollment rise and the campus ex-
pand to its present size.
In the English department, the popular

professor has specialized in comparative
literature. His teaching subjects have in-
cluded English drama and introduction to
literature, a world literature course for
lower-division students. Aside from the
literary field, he is well-trained in Greek,
Latin, French, and German.
Dr. Ernst's plans for the future are still
indefinite. However, he has indicated that
he will not retire from work, but will locate
another type of position. Mrs. Alice Ernst,
associate professor emeritus of English, re-
tired last year.
Dr. Ernst, who received his degree from
Northwestern college in 1904, earned his
master's and doctor of philosophy degrees
at Harvard in 1911 and 1921 respectively.
Before teaching at Washington University,
he was a member of the faculty at North-
western.
Leave of Absences
Leave of absences have been granted to
three faculty members for research and
military duty by Eldon L. Johnson, dean of
the college of liberal arts.
Elon H. Moore, sociology department
head, was granted sabbatical leave to study
social participation of the United States'
older population.
His study, a continuation of work which
he has been doing for the past six years,
will take him to the Middle West, East,
South, and back to the West.
Dr. Homer Barnett, professor of anthro-
pology, received a year's leave of absence
to accept a position as staff anthropologist
in the Pacific division of Trust Territories,
a branch of the United States Department
of Interior.
He will join a staff which administers the
trust territories of the Marshalls, the Caro-
lines, Marianas, and Palaus islands. His
duties will include advising the high com-
missioner on matters pertaining to self-
governing institutions of natives, and on
cultural factors.
Dr. Barnett spent nine months in the
Palau islands in 1947-48 while doing re-
search work for the Navy.
Military leave of absence with active duty
in the Air Force was granted to Alfred C.
Shepard, assistant professor and assistant
director of the Portland branch Bureau of
Municipal Research and Service.

ies of meetings in Tillamook and Astoria.
Making the trip were Dean James H. Gil-
bert '03, professor emeritus of economics:
Dr. Roy C. McCall. head of the speech de-
partment; George Hopkins '21, professor
of music, and Les Anderson '42. alumni di-
rector.
The group appeared before a meeting of
alumni at the Victory House in Tillamook
on April 24. John Hathaway '44. alumni di-
rector of Tillamook county, handled ar-
rangements.
The following day. the group stopped in
Astoria for a dinner-meeting and discus-
sion confab. More than 60 persons attended
the program. Don Malarkey '48, alumni di-
rector for Clatsop county, was chairman.
Dean Gilbert, main speaker of the group,
talked on "Builders of Oregon and Heralds
of its Greatness." Dr. Gilbert reviewed the
seven University administrations under
which he served since 1907, describing Ore-
gon's growth scholastically and physically.
The tour program included discussions
and talks by the four representatives in var-
ious University fields.
Maerdian Leaves
After four years as head of the military
department. Colonel Frank R. Maerdian
left in late March for Camp Polk. La., for
troop duty with the 45th Infantry Division.
Col. Maerdian was replaced by Lieuten-
ant Colonel J. H. Cunningham as head of
the department and professor of military
science and tactics. Col. Cunningham will
serve in both capacities until a replacement
is appointed by the Sixth Army headquar-
ters.
Col. Cunningham has been a member of
the University ROTC staff since fall term,
1949. He is a graduate of Ohio State Uni-
versity, and a transportation corps officer
of the regular army.
Before joining the University military de-
partment, he was connected with the office
of the Chief of Transportation in the Penta-
gon, Washington, D.C.
Announces Retirement
Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, director of
dormitories at Oregon for 21 years, will
retire this year.
Mrs. Turnipseed came to the campus in
1930 from Columbia University Teachers
college, where she received her master's
degree.
Before coming to Oregon she was dean of
women at Madison State Teachers college,
Madison, S.D., an instructor at the Univer-
sity of Iowa, where she received her B.A.
degree, and a teacher of English in Cedar
Falls, Iowa.
When Mrs. Turnipseed became dormi-
tory head, 500 students were housed in five
University dormitories?Susan Campbell,

Her plans after retirement are indefinite;
however, she plans to remain active in some
sort of employment.
Nillsen Dies
Sigurd Nillsen, professor of voice from
1940 to 1946, died early in April after a
year's illness. He was 56 at the time of his
death.
Born at Perry, Oregon, Nillsen was edu-
cated at Whitman college in Walla Walla,
Wash., and later studied voice in New York
City and Nice, France.
In his singing career, he became one of
the first persons to sing for regular radio
broadcasts, and later turned to the teaching
field.
Faculty Grants
Faculty research grants totalling $15,170
for the 1951-52 school year have been
awarded to 28 faculty members at the Uni-
versity. The grants, averaging more than
$550 each, were announced in April by
Dean Eldon Johnson of the graduate school.
Highest number of grants were awarded
to science departments, with chemistry re-
ceiving six; physics, two; anthropology,
two; and biological sciences, three.
Grants were made from the Research
fund of the state system of higher educa-
tion.
Grants Pass Tour
Educational tours took University repre-
sentatives to Grants Pass in early May for
an informal dinner meeting with Oregon
alumni.
About 60 persons attended the evening
meeting at the Grants Pass country club.
Mrs. Josephine R. Johnson '29, Josephine
county alumni director, was chairman.
THE ALUMNI
Class Reunions Held
Five classes met for reunions on Alum-
ni Day, June 9, when graduates of 1901,
1906, 1911, 1921, and 1926 traveled to the
University for anniversary celebrations.
Headquarters for reunion events was the
Erb Memorial Student Union where a
luncheon and meetings of the various class-
es were held.
The day's program opened with an alum-
ni meeting at 11 a.m., followed by a Uni-
versity luncheon in the student union ball-
room. The luncheon honored retiring fac-
ulty members, and awarded gold and sil-
ver "O" certificates to members celebrat-
ing 50th and 25th anniversaries.
Speakers from each reunion class ad-
dressed the alumni in short talks. Speakers
were Richard S. Smith '01, Eugene; Dr.
Earl R. Abbett '06, Portland; Jeanette I.
Dentler '26, Portland; and Barry Moun-
tain '51, retiring president of the Oregon
studentbody.
Afternoon activities included a tour of
of the University's new buildings, a presi-
dent's reception, and individual class din-
ners in Eugene.
Held in conjunction with Alumni Day
was a meeting of the Half-Century club.
This group, composed of graduates of 50 or
more years ago initiated members of the
class of '01 at its second annual meeting.
Lewis J. Davis '89, president of the club,
presided at the meeting.
Handling arrangements for individual
class reunions were Richard S. Smith '01,

Originates Broadcast
Rev. Robert B. Giffen '28, is the origina-
tor of an unusual radio program titled,
"The Pastor's Study," which goes on the
air three time- a week to offer advice and
counsel to its thousands of listeners.
14
Rev. Giffen goes on the air at the mid-
night hour for 55 minutes over station
WIOD, Atlanta, Ga., where he answers
calls of listeners, who ask for advice or
information. He relates the questions to
the radio audience, offering solutions or
asking for private appointments with the
callers.
The program began as a ten-minute
broadcast, quickly grew to a 25-minute
program, and presently occupies almost
an hour on the southern station. Rev.
Giffen receives as many as a thousand calls
during one broadcast, in addition to letters
from all parts of the United States and
Canada.
At Oregon, Rev. Giffen was a member
of Phi Beta Kappa and Pi Delta Phi. He
received his bachelor of arts degree in
psychology. After graduation he studied at
the University of Geneva and the Univer-
sity of Chicago Divinity school. He is at
present executive secretary of the Atlanta
Christian Council and active pastor.
Since the program began, similar broad-
casts have been made by pastors in vari-
ous southern cities, patterned after the
"Pastor's Study."

Old Oregon
They Educate Educators
( Continued from page 7 )
up a new undergraduate field in the educa-
tion school. Previously, the only elementary
work was on graduate level.
Under the cooperative joint-degree ele-
mentary teacher education curriculum?
any student may take his freshman, sopho-
more, and junior year work at the Univer-
sity. In his fourth year he will take a two-
term, concentrated, professional study pro-
gram at one of the three state-supported
colleges of education. The student may then
return to the Oregon campus for the third
term of his senior year for more practice
teaching and selected class work for gradu-
ation.
The three colleges of education have en-
tered into this program with Linfield, Reed,
Cascade and Oregon State colleges, the
University of Portland, Willamette Univer-
sity, and Vanport extension center, as well
as the University of Oregon.
Work is offered on the Oregon campus
for special teachers on both the graduate
and undergraduate level. These students
are trained to work with remedial reading,
hearing difficulties, speech correction, and
the psychology of learning in elementary-
age children. A clinic for such work with
elementary children is held in Emerald hall
on the University campus.
Not only does the university's education
school train students for teaching positions,
but it finds them jobs to step into after
graduation.
The teacher placement service, under the
direction of E. M. Pallett, placed persons in
$1,400,000 worth of jobs for the 1950-51
school year. The university service asks
only a $5 fee for its placement service,
where, if a person went to a commercial
placement office that office would deduct a
certain percentage of the teacher's wages
for its service.
Last year 1,664 requests came into the
placement service office?278 for college in-
structors, 957 for high school, and 429 for
elementary schools. The placement service
had only 65 registered as desiring college,
531 for high schools, and 99 for elementary
work.
The service is available not only to stu-
dents but to teachers throughout the state
as well.
The University of Oregon school of edu-
cation gives its students a broad liberal arts
background and specialized training, gives
them an opportunity for practical teaching
experience, and then even finds them a job.
Class of 1913 Meets
Oregon graduates of 1913 met in April
to begin plans for the class's 40th anni-
versary reunion in 1953.
Twenty-two members met at a between-
reunion dinner on Friday the 13th, where
they heard an address by Carlton Spencer
entitled, "The Class that Refused to be

A MILLION PEOPLE
have put their money in
the Bell Telephone business
Today, for the first time in the history of the
United States, a companj is owned by a million
people. The American Telephone and Telegraph
Companj has reached that mark. No other
company has half as many owners.
These million men and women owners live
in 19,000 communities throughout the United
States. They are in cities, towns and on farms
and from all walks of life.
Most of them are small stockholders. More
than half are women. Over 350,000 have held
their stork for ten years or longer. Some 200.000
are telephone employees and thousands more
are buying the -lock under the Employee Stock
Plan. About one family in every forty-five in
the United States is now an owner of A. T. & T.
\ on ran see that many, many people have a
stake in the telephone business. It's their savings
that have helped to give this country the most
and the hest telephone sen ice in the world. Im-
portant in peace, the telephone is vital in time
of national emergencj.

Mobilgas"
WITH MOBILGAS YOU GET top perform-
ance and economy. Everyone knows the
amazing mileage scored by the 32 different
makes and models of American cars in the
Mobilgas Economy Run. They averaged 23.9
miles per gallon using Mobilgas in the rug-
ged 840-mile run from Los Angeles via
Death Valley and Las Vegas to Grand Canyon.
The Mobilgas Economy Run proved that
every motorist who is a good, saje driver,
who keeps his car in good condition, and
who uses Mobilgas or Mobilgas Special
(premium), can get more from his invest-
ment. Both Mobilgas and Mobilgas Special
deliver maximum power and mileage, as the
Run showed. If you car runs knock-free
Mobilgas, then save the difference. But, use
Mobilgas Special if your car requires it ...
you'll be money ahead in the long run.
FREE-AT YOUR MOBILGAS DEALER-To
help you get more mileage from your car,

participated in the Run have pooled their
experiences in a booklet. Your Mobilgas

For Dick Williams
the future
wasn't lost,
Postponed
T HE LAST THING Ed Nichols had ex-pected to get mixed up in was a
square dance. But here he was swinging
lovely young Patsy Stevenson. "This is
tun," Ed puffed.
"You're the best one on the floor, Mr.
Nichols," she said, and then she spun off
and Ed found himself swinging Martha
Williams. "It's a great party, Martha."
"Thank you, Ed. I guess it is. I'm
almost having a good time m\ self."
"It's better if you do. Martha. It'll
make it a little easier, maybe." He glanced
at Martha's son, Dick, who was now danc-
ing with Patsy?and looking as if he were
having the best time of all. Good boj, Ed
thought. Here he was about to go into
service and . . . well, he was a swell kid.
A few minutes later Ed was standing on
the sidelines sipping a cool drink and
resting.
"Having a good time, Mr. Nichols?"
somebody said. It was Dick Williams.
"Yes, I am, Dick." He paused a sec-
ond. "I had hoped that I'd be seeing you
off to college at about this time but
"Uncle Sam comes first, Mr. Nichols.
Rut I'll be back before you know it . .
and heading for college as Dad and you
planned."
"I hope you will, son. Soon!" Ed re-
membered how Dick's dad had talked
about the boy's future and how he, as the
New York Life agent, had helped Dick's
dad give those plans definite form. When
Dick was ten, his father had died, leaving
J
the boy proud memories and enough life
insurance to see him and his mother
through the years ahead.
"I want you to know, Mr. Nichols, that
this whole thing is a lot easier tor me,
knowing that Mom will have everything
she needs while I'm away."
"Mrs. Nichols and I will look in on her
often, Dick."
"Thanks," the boy said simply. "And
before you know it, we'll throw another
party?after I'm back from service and
on my way to college." Dick shook hands.
"Now, it you'll excuse me, I want to find
Patsy Stevenson. I have something im-
portant to say to her . . ."
Ed watched the boy and girl going out
the side door. "Great kid," he said to
himself. "This country's got a great future
as long as it has kids like that."

They asked me . . .
"Can you make
the grade?55
Because I wanted a business of my own with no lid or
earnings, I left a sales manager's job at the age of 40 to
go into life insurance. But like anyone entering a new
field, I wondered whether I could make the grade.
There are some who think I did make it* In any
event, many have asked me how best to get a good start
in life insurance selling.
Most important, I'd say, is to choose a company
that wants to be sure you will make the grade?that
(1) screens applicants carefully, and (2) thoroughly fits
a new man for a successful career.
These two factors (plus a plan that supports you
while you are just learning) are leading many ambitious
younger men to New England Mutual today. The com-
pany gives each man three separate screening tests before
taking him on. Just being able to pass those tests gives
you confidence.
My own education began immediately and continued
for several years while I was working. It goes about like
this. First comes basic training in your agency, combin-
ing theory and field work. After selling insurance for a
few months, you qualify for the comprehensive Home
Office course given in Boston, with all expenses paid by
your general agent and the company.
Next you'll take up Coordinated Estates?the pro-
fessional approach to selling and servicing life insurance.
Then, as you are ready for it, comes Advanced Under-
writing, which covers business uses of life insurance, and
relates insurance to wills, trusts, and estate planning,
and to taxation problems?income, estate and inherit-
ance. I jumped into this as soon as I could, and found
it of tremendous help in dealing with business and per-
sonal cases involving substantial amounts of insurance.
Your final step, although I happened to take mine
pretty early in the game, will be to study for your CLU
designation, which is comparable to the CPA in account-
ing. You will profit from this study, as I have, and from
the company's regular bulletins on new tax and estate
laws suggesting valuable sales applications.
From experience I know a man can get ahead faster
in a company with a sound training program. A thou-
sand New England Mutual fieldmen from here to Hono-
lulu will testify to this.
Finally, I know I've done better in life insurance than
I might have in my former work. There are a great
many other New England Mutual representatives who
have done at least as well or a lot better than I've done.
I'm glad to have the opportunity to tell the story for them.

Bad News for Bugs
BUGS are in for the surprise of their lives. They're going to
zoom into allethrin, the new insecticide ingredient. It looks
like especially bad neivs for many of the insects that pester
you most.
Take flies, mosquitoes and gnats . . . allethrin's paralyz-
ing touch searches them out... delivers the blow that knocks
them down fast. . . leaving its slower acting companion in-
gredients in the spray or powder to complete the kill.
Until now this type of insecticide came from flowers
picked by the natives in Asia and Africa. But allethrin is an
ail-American product, synthesized under scientific controls
and has the definite advantages over importations of uni-
formity in strength and quality.
It is only natural that the people of Union Carbide pio-
neered in the production of allethrin on a commercial scale.
For they were already making most of the needed chemical
ingredients.
As a result, the people of Union Carbide are already pro-
viding allethrin in ever-increasing quantities to manufac-
turers of household and dairy sprays. And researchers all
over the country are now engaged in testing its value for
the control of agricultural pests and for other purposes.
Other Union Carbide chemicals are important ingredients
in many other insecticides and fungicides. One or more of
them mav have a place in your future plans.
