NAME STREET CITY ZONE STATE SCHOOL CLASS OF To and From As this is written, activity has been the by- word on the campus during the past weekend and for all this w?-ek. A conference of alumni leaders was held on Saturday. The two-game series with Oregon State concluded tin1 basket- ball season and the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Wrestling tournament was held Friday and Sat- urday at McArthur Court. Now this week the students are in the midst of final exams and the State High School Basketball Tournament is in progress. Wins have been few and far between for our basketball team this winter and to wind up the season with a victory over the Beavers was the real highlight of what has been a difficult sea- son. Eight thousand spectators were treated to a thrilling contest which gave indications of things to come. Coach Steve Belko has done an outstanding coaching job and his efforts were so recognized in a pregame program by Ath- letic Director Leo Harris. Likewise Mr. Harris heaped praise on the team for its fine spirit and' improvement during the season. Next year should be better but a real winning season is still two or maybe three years away. It takes a long time to assemble the personnel necessary to be a contender in this conference but the signs of improvement were never more in evi- dence than this past weekend. Improvement was also the report of the pro- gram for the leaders conference on Saturday. President Wilson outlined the need for funds to augment the state budget and to enable the University to continue its program which has been *o effective during the past 10 years. Details of the plans for the University of Oregon Development Fund were reviewed by Tommy Thompson, executive director of the fund. No detail is being overlooked to assure the success of this very ambitious undertaking by the alumni in behalf of the University. A background story on the Development Fund is found in this issue of OLD OREGON. Many of the alumni who attended the con- ference were amazed to learn of the programs in science which are available on the Oregon campus. The opportunity to hear a first hand resume of the various research projects, which are in progress, served to enlighten many of our alumni as to the value of the science work at Oregon and also to impress them with the highly capable and qualified faculty which we have. We can write about it and visit with alumni and talk about it but you actually must see for yourself to fully appreciate the quality of the University today. Take every opportunity to learn more of your alma mater. It is rapidly approaching greatness and this should serve to make you increasingly proud of your association with Oregon. For many issues of OLD OREGON we have at- tempted to tell this story. At the same time we have tried to impress upon each alumnus the fact that your Alumni Association is to help you be of service to your University and not for the University to be of service to you as an individual. We hope that you have understood our effort*-, that you will come to recognize your opportunity and that you will have great pride in being a part of a distinguished university's family.?BASS DYKK Old Oregon ()1 J () Published by the UNIVERSITY OF OREGON ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Member American Alumni Council April-May 1957 Vol. 37, No. 5 COVER ^ sneaky way, you're saying, to lore readers into the maga- ijne Tnf what we,re trying to do is throw the spotlight on freshman girls?a very noble under- taking, indeed, but one which we cannot claim to have originated. It all started some weeks ago when the Oregon Daily Emerald took a magnifying glass to freshman girls in general and concluded it was about time people became aware of the regulations which govern the girls in the dormi- tories. However, all the fuss about regulations leaves the pretty coed on our cover unimpressed. "Personally," says Carlyn Compton, a Portland girl who lives at Hendricks Hall, "I think we can learn to live with most any situation." A music student with a 3.29 grade average and an impressive record of campus activities, Carlyn seems to be holding her own under the magnifying glass. But we can't let matters drop here; you can read more on this under an item en- titled "Speaking of Women" on page 14. (Photo by B. L. Freemesser and Mike Hart.)

Photo shows Handel's "Messiah" presented in Me Arthur Court. MUSICUM?what's that?" ^~^ This is a question raised by a student at one of the recent concerts presented by the Collegium Musicum of the University of Oregon School of Music. A fellow student replied that all he could think of was that the musical scores used by the performers were of unusual sizes and shapes. If the student had known Latin he would have known that Collegium Musicum means "friends of music." His observation that there was something unusual was, however, quite true. Com- posed of faculty and students, this recently- organized group devotes itself to the per- formance of music of the 16th, 17th, and 18th Centuries. This interest in seldom- heard music is an indication of a trend which has been developing rapidly across the nation and which is indeed unusual. In 1955 approximately 35 million people paid to attend classical music events as against the 15 million who attended base- ball games. The 1955 attendance at serious music events was about double that of 1940. Fifty years ago we could boast four major symphony orchestras, made up almost en- tirely of European-trained musicians. To- day there are at least 24 orchestras with seasons of 20 weeks or over, and close to 300 others which operate on a more modest basis. Most of their members, and often their conductors, too, are products of Amer- ican music schools. Another interesting as- pect of this trend toward musical awareness in the United States is that metropolitan centers are no longer the only fountainhead of first-rate music. Now we find symphony orchestras and chamber music groups by the thousands in schools and colleges and smaller towns. There is hardly a community in the country which does not have a choral society, a madrigal group, or a choir of some kind. Here and there you will find opera workshops, similar to community "little theater" groups. Industry is begin- ning to see possibilities in music as contrib- uting to employee morale. Music therapy is increasingly recognized as an effective means of helping to cure ills of mind and body. The University of Oregon School of Music has kept pace with this growing musi- cal awareness in the United States. As early as 1886, the University of Oregon, recogniz- ing music as an important element in a program of higher education, established a department of music. The School of Music was organized in 1902, and was admitted to full membership in the National Associa- tion of Schools of Music in 1930?the first music school in the Pacific Northwest to be accorded this recognition. The School of Music provides, for high school and prepar- atory school graduates who have demon- strated a talent in music, the opportunity to continue their musical studies leading to undergraduate and graduate degrees, either as professional preparation or as an avoca- tion, and to acquire at the same time a broad general education. Furthermore, it is the purpose of the School of Music to pro- vide all students in the University an op- portunity to enrich their cultural experi- ences by direct contacts with music. Opportunities for participation in musi- cal ensembles are of great importance not only to the student majoring in music but Band Conductor Vagner gets another rehearsal under way. Mary Ann Megale, a top-notch student, gets in- struction in piano from Professor Francis Bittner. Author directs "Messiah" pres- entation at Me Arthur Court. Male quartet from University Singers rehearses an old favorite. The fellows are (left to right, standing) Ron Lodge, George W'asson, Jerry Holloway and (seated) Bill Veatch. This is one of many activities going on every day at the University's School of Music. also to the non music majors. The Univer- sity Choral Union?whose membership con- sists of from 300 to 500 men and women from all schools and departments within the University?prepares annually a large choral work for presentation in the spring of the year with orchestra. Among the choral works presented recently are Han- del's Messiah, Mozart's Requiem, and Men- delssohn's Elijah. The University Singers, a selected group of 60 men and women, performs at many concerts and programs during the year on the campus, and makes an annual spring tour throughout the state of Oregon, pre- senting programs for schools and commu- nity groups. The University Band is organized as a marching unit during the fall quarter, when it performs at Oregon football games. In the winter and spring quarters, it performs as a concert band, presenting concerts of high calibre on the campus and through- out the state. One of its most noteworthy achievements has been its leadership in seeking out and performing contemporary music. The University Band has won na- tional recognition as one of the outstanding organizations of its kind. The University-Eugene Symphony Or- chestra, recently organized as a combined campus and community group, has a mem- bership of approximately 65. This too is part of a relatively new development in the American orchestral scene?the combining of community and university resources in order to provide better instrumentation and larger, more stable orchestras of greater technical proficiency. This trend indicates a healthy and growing interest in the "live" performance of symphonic music as a vital part of our community life. The University- Eugene Symphony gives a series of four concerts each year. The repertory of the Orchestra is wide and varied including rep- resentative works of all periods. Members of the School of Music faculty frequently present individual solo recitals. Several student group recitals are sched- uled each term to enable as many students as possible to gain solo performing experi- ence. In addition, qualified seniors and graduate students present full-length solo recitals in partial fulfillment of the require- ments for degrees in music performance. Numerous smaller ensembles, both vocal and instrumental, afford students further opportunities for acquiring the special .skills requisite for fine ensemble playing. Membership in any of the above-men- tioned organizations is open to all qualified students, whether or not they are music majors. Under the direction of members of the faculty these organizations afford unusually good opportunities for sight reading and for experience in choral, orchestral, and band routine. The value of thorough and careful study of a large amount of choral and instrumental literature through mem- bership in such organizations cannot be overestimated. Numerous concerts by visiting artists on the campus make it possible for students to hear an enormous amount of good music. The Civic Music Association sponsors a series of eight concerts a year. Among the top-ranking artists and ensembles which have been heard recently here are: Nathan Milstein, Isaac Stern, Mischa Elman, Ye- hudi Menhuin, Artur Rubenstein, Robert Casadeseus, Gina Bachauer, Victoria de los Angeles, William Warfield, George Lon- don, the New York Philharmonic, the Phil- adelphia Orchestra, the Zurich Little Sym- phony, the Robert Shaw Chorale, the Kabuki Dancers and the Minneapolis Symphony. The University brings to the campus each year several chamber music ensembles of international reputation; among these have been the Budapest Quartet, the Juil- liard Quartet, the Fine Arts Quartet, the Albeneri Trio, the Los Angeles Woodwinds and the Smetana Quartet. The famous Hun- garian Quartet was in residence for three weeks on the campus during the 1956 sum- mer session and will again be here during the 1957 summer session for three weeks. The importance of music in a program of higher education is no longer questioned. Music has become an increasingly impor- tant factor in modern life. There is scarcely an individual who does not have contact with some form of it and who is not influ- enced in some way by it. Because of its many contributions to a finer type of citizen- ship, it has become a significant factor in our education program. Music affords abun- dant opportunity for growth through satis- fying self-expression. It socializes and uni- fies a group as nothing else can. It provides an outlet for the emotions and stabilizes them by directing them into safe channels. It provides a worthy occupation for leisure in that it offers a very high type of enjoy- ment for both participants and spectators. It can inspire, refresh and recreate the mind with a desire for better living. It offers an unusual opportunity for the develop- ment of sensitivity to human values and a more sympathetic understanding of the needs of others. It expresses man's inner soul, his spiritual nature, and enables him to attain greater self-realization. It has the magic power of bringing beauty into life. The emotional, aesthetic and spiritual ex- periences possible through contact with beautiful music are not only desirable but extremely essential in our highly complex civilization. The University of Oregon School of Music believes that one of its most impor- tant functions is to equip students?music majors and non majors alike?to go out into their communities and help build there, both in a professional and in a non-profes- sional way, a genuinely American musical culture which will make life richer and more satisfying. Old Oregon why you can't teach art to children With illustrations from the U. of 0. children's art lab By Sidney D. White Assistant Professor of Art SCENE: The living room in almost any American home. In the center of the floor is a three-year-old boy. Seated near the boy, who has just completed a drawing, is his father. BOY: Look. Daddy! FATHER: Huh? What's that? BOY: A boat. FATHER: A boat? You call that scribble a boat? BOY: Uh-huh. FATHER: Here, let me show you what a real boat looks like! Much as we might wish otherwise, the forces of nature which we call "maturation" cannot be hurried, bullied, or cajoled. We can no more easily make some one love us than we can make a child develop beyond his matura- tional boundaries, however temporary they may be. Like love, maturation is an inner impulse; it is a force that functions in accordance with the entirely unique laws and rhythms of human organism. To dominate it is to paralyze or kill it; to allow it freedom is to encourage its growth and fruition. Most of us are intellectually aware of these forces, but this does not seem to alter our difficulty in emotion- ally accepting them. Perhaps because we are an anxious people who are habitually afraid that precious time is slipping between our fingers, we feel compelled to do something?immediately?about the real and imagined limitations of our children. We must, because it is a in a0 TURN PAGE April-May 1957 Drawn by a 3Y2-year-old, this scribble reflects high degree of "relaxed" control. Most children scribble between ages two and four. Scribbling helps children coordinate seen and felt sensations. 1 "Head-foot symbol" a five-year-old's drawing of his father, usually appears in the art of children four to five years old. These symbols undergo a constant change of form, gradually include more details. Between seven and nine years of age, earlier stick-like figure is gradually re- placed with flat, geometrical, symmetric- ally-shaped forms. However, these forms continue to be stiff and unrealistic. Old Oregon compulsion, "teach" the scribbling child to draw before he is ready to learn to draw; we must likewise "'teach" children to walk, talk, read and write as soon as possible? often much sooner than they are ready. More of us need to be aware of the im- portant role that maturation plays in the development of children in and through their irt. We would then realize that to at- tempt to teach a scribbling child to draw in the realistic manner of a Norman Rock- well is equivalent to teaching a crawling child to play baseball. There are essential stages of development through which the child must pass before he is ready to learn such complex skills and concepts. The crawling child will learn, without being taught, how to walk and run. Simi- larly, the scribbling child will learn?again without being taught?how to draw sym- bols with which to represent the world of objects, events, ideas and feelings. These symbols evolve in a natural progression; they are closely interwoven within the mat- urational fabric of the child's physical, mental and emotional makeup. If we are patient and do not interfere with this natural progression a child's artis- tic development may be virtually unlimited, lasting a lifetime. However if, as we so often do. we interfere with the spontaneous grop- ings and discoveries that are essential to this natural progression, the results may be unfortunate. Most children who are encour- aged to draw "realistically" soon develop feelings of inadequacy. They are being asked to perform on a level that is out of their reach: it is therefore no wonder that they realize?however dimly and uncon- sciously?that it would be better to stop trying. Nobody wants to butt his head against a stone wall. Because of this premature "teaching" the vast majority of children in America lose their creative vitality. Sooner or later they become nonartistic spectators and imitators. No longer a natural vehicle of expression and creation, art becomes mere "busywork" for many of our children?a means of kill- ing time and releasing excess energy. Some of us. particularly those of us who teach children, mistakenly call this busy- work "recreation" or "therapy." It is nei- ther of these because recreation is more than killing time just as therapy involves much more than the release of excess en- ergy. The artistic development of our chil- dren is first and foremost a natural develop- ment. It is only when it is natural, when children are able to draw in accordance with their own inner rhythms, directions, gropings and discoveries, that their art can be of genuine recreational and psychologi- cal value. Only then may the perceiving eye and the creating imagination provide end- less possibilities for living a rich life. Only then, too. may the free and unforced artistic act provide the very antidote to the tensions and anxieties from which so many of us suffer. \ine to eleven-year-old child's drawings begin to shoiv interest in how objects appear in nature. \ote how depth is represented through a series of overlapping planes, almost like props in a stage set. Children usually draw uluil they think and feel and not merely what they see. Because what is inside the factory is important to the nine-year-old who drew this, he made openings in the walls. April-May 1957 Dentists At Work They're not quite dentists yet. the 334 students who attend classes at the Lnhersity of Oregon's new den- tal building in Portland, but the\ soon will be. And few things could inspire them to work toward that goal more than the new $2.600.000 Dental School Building already has. As one student put it. "I have an altogether new feeling of responsibility and interest." A member of the school's 100-member faculty staff expressed it more simply but nonetheless effec- tively: "It s simply wonderful!" The new eight-Hoor structure, which opened to classes last fall, has a total of 200 new dental units, including 14o of them in the unique circular clinic ?the first clinic of this type to be used in a dental school. The building provides individual \-ray rooms, three multi-level lecture halls and. due to its position against a hillside, ground level entrances on the first, second and sixth floors. All of which prompted a patient at the dental clinic to exclaim, "It makes going to the dentist a pleasure!" Helen Wright Russell F. Culbertson This is Oregon's newly-built Dental School, located in Portland. The eight-floor structure was built at a cost of $2.6 million. It contains 200 dental units.

Thompson A T TIMKS IT WAS only a bushel of wheat or a few pennies saved by some child. At other times it was a six-figure bequest. But throughout the life of the University, gifts from friends and alumni have played a vital part in the school's growth. At no time has this been more vividly il- lustrated than in those early years when the University was first struggling for existence. The story of that early struggle is a fasci- nating one. The beginning came in 1872 when a group of citizens in Eugene, led by B. F Dorris and Judge J. M. Thompson, decided that the city should have a University. Forming an organization known as the Union University Association, they per- suaded the State Legislature that their plan was a wise one. Thus the first campaign to raise private funds?$50.000?was begun. The campaign moved ahead well at first, with 140 subscriptions totaling S15.000. Then the drive began to lag. The early pioneers decided to intensify their drive. Numerous programs were held: a Fourth of July ball, strawberry festivals, women's socials. Even children were solicited. But you don't raise $50,000 with strawberry festivals and piggy banks. Finally, in desperation, work on the first University building was begun even though the full amount had not been achieved. The excavation for Deady Hall was started May 7, 1873. By June the brick work was begun and it proceeded smoothly through the sum- mer. Then winter broke, and with the re- sources gone, construction was halted. For almost two years the hollow shell of the building stood idle. In March. 1875, a final big effort to raise funds was begun. A team of 46 canvassers toured the country. The dri\e fell far short of its goal. But now the farmers, who orig- inally had opposed efforts to raise funds through taxes, came to the association's aid. The County Council of Grangers canvassed its members seeking contributions in the form of wheat. They raised $5,000 to $6,000, and work on the building was resumed. From that point on it was a hand-to- mouth business, but work progressed. Judge J. J. Walton, who had been the original intermediary between the Grangers and the Association, carried a large share of the load. When funds got low, the judge left his law office in Eugene and toured the countryside seeking donations. Once he re- turned lugging a big box of apples. Another time he ushered in a calf and several pigs. But in one way or another, funds were scraped together until, in 1876, W. J. J. Scott and J. E. Holt agreed to underwrite the final indebtedness, then $5,000. The building was finally finished and that fall the first classes began. UNIVERSITY PROCEEDED for five balmy years before dark clouds began once again to threaten ominously. In 1881 two creditors appeared out of the dim past with bills totaling $7.830.91?debts that Old Oregon r I ^ had been incurred in building Deady Hall but never settled. A law suit followed. Fore- closure seemed close at hand. You don't often find a state University on the verge of being sold to settle bad debts, but such was the case. Then, in story-book fashion, the Univer- sity's first major benefactor made himself known. Henry Villard, financier and rail- road promoter, read of the threat of sale of the University's lone building. He wrote to Judge Matthew Deady, president of the board of regents, offering to take over the balance of the debt. Villard contributed $7,000; the Eugene citizen's committee made up the balance. Having eased the University over that hurdle, Villard offered additional assist- ance. He gave $1,000 for laboratory equip- ment, and $250 for each of five scholar- ships. In addition he agreed to pay the salary of the professor of English literature for one year. He climaxed his generosity, then, with a gift of bonds of the Northern Pacific railroad, valued then at $50,000. This was the University's first endowment. It remains in effect to this day. Countless other gifts and bequests, large and small, have been received by the Uni- versitv through the years. All have played a vital part in the growth of the school and its general excellence. But it remained for certain persons to organize this giving. Among those who played major roles in this respect were Mrs. George Gerlinger, a member of the boaid of regents and a life-long friend of the University; Prince Lucien Campbell, fourth president of the school; Arnold Ben- nett Hall, fifth president; and Dr. Burt Brown Barker, vice-president. Many others offered invaluable support. Mrs. Gerlinger was among the first to organize alumni and friends when in 1915 she undertook to raise funds for a women's building on the campus. Working through- out the war years she was able, by 1919, to collect $50,000 toward the building. Even- tually alumni and friends contributed a total of $100,000 to the building which now bears her name. This represented about one-third of its full cost. Early in the 1920's, President Campbell, impressed by the success of this effort and the far more extensive programs that had been undertaken by eastern schools, de- cided on a long-range plan to build a great- er University of Oregon. By then President Campbell had been with the University for 20 years. With but five years remaining be- fore his retirement he was determined to leave the school richly endowed. His first step was to form a non-profit corporation to be known as the University of Oregon Alumni Holding Company. Its purpose was to "promote the general wel- fare of the University of Oregon." Toward this end it would "carry on and conduct a campaign for gifts of real and personal property of all kinds." Members of the board of trustees for that corporation were F. L. Chambers, Campbell Church, W. K. Newell, Robert B. Kuyken- dall and President Campbell. Each of these contributed major effort to the program. "PRESIDENT CAMPBELL envisioned a pro- * gram that would return $5,000,000 to the University. He asked E. F. Lawrence, University architect, to prepare a model of the campus as it would appear if all the proposed buildings were to be constructed. (This model remains today in the basement corridor of Johnson hall.) A meeting of a special committee of the Chamber of Commerce of Eugene was held on August 7, 1922, with a soliciting com- mittee of 30 being named to help with the program. Present at that meeting were F. L. Chambers, C. D. Rorer, Dean Walker, W. F. Jewett, Mahlon Day, E. O. Potter, George Turnbull, W. K. Newell, L. L. Ray and President Campbell. Others taking part in a subsequent session were A. R. Tiffany, W. W. Calkins, Dean Sanderson, A. A. Rogers, Walter Griffin, B. B. Brundage, Jack Magladry. Arthur Chadwin, Melvin Hansen and Carl Washburne. Immediate plans called for a $500,000 auditorium, which was to have been a pres- ent from the city of Eugene, and a $200,000 student union building to be paid for by subscriptions from undergraduates. The main appeal was to be made to alumni, each of whom was asked to contribute at least $260 over a period of years. Unfortunately President Campbell be- came ill before the program was in full gear and plans were postponed pending his recovery. When he failed to regain his health the program proceeded under lim- ited impetus but never reached the full proportions he had hoped for. President Campbell died in August 1925 and was succeeded, in 1926, by Arnold Ben- nett Hall. Quick to recognize the impor- tance of President Campbell's program, the new president set the wheels in motion once more. Mrs. Gerlinger returned to lend her ef- forts to a drive to raise funds for construc- tion of an Art Museum. Begun in 1926, this campaign resulted in a total of $200,000 toward construction of the building to house the Murray Warner Collection of Oriental Art, a gift from Mrs. Murray Warner. To implement the program of the Hold- ing Company, President Hall persuaded Dr. Burt Brown Barker, a former Oregonian and then a prominent lawyer in Chicago, to come to the University as vice-president. Dr. Barker took up the direction of the gift campaigns. Between 1926 and 1932, an es- timated $1,691,541 was received from pri- vate sources. Among the major gifts in this period were $50,000 from Mrs. M. Ross Woodward to help build Sherry Ross Hall; $15,000 from Frank Chambers for Driverton Ath- letic Field; and more than $18,000 from Ion Lewis for use by the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. Equally important were gifts from hundreds of friends and alumni in cash donations, bequests, trust funds, real property and personal property. Serving as trustees for the Holding Com- pany during this latter period were F. L. Chambers, Karl W. Onthank, Carl Wash- burne, Homer D. Angell, Robert Kuyken- dall, Campbell Church, W. K. Newell and F. H. Young. T HE HOLDING COMPANY published abook, Investments in the Future of Ore- gon. It was a handsome thing?a John Henry Nash original. Copies were to have been distributed to persons thought to have the proper potential for giving. Most of these books remain undistributed. A frontispiece carred the wrords of Dr. Johnson: "Sir, it is better to live rich than to die rich!" Purpose of the book was to "present a budget of suggestions sufficiently compre- hensive in scope and challenging in appeal." Among the challenges: $100,000 would endow a gallery of American art; $100,000 to $200,000 would endow professorships at the School of Architecture and Allied Arts or the School of Music. Other suggestions: funds for a natural history museum ($600,000) ; library addi- tions ($1,300,000) ; auditorium and memo- rial court ($1,000,000 and $250,000 respec- tively) ; a four-unit science quadrangle ($350,000 per unit) ; infirmary and dispen- sary ($400,000) ; and dormitories ($70,000 per unit). Additional proposals suggested a student union ($550,000), and teaching and re- search funds. A major proposal was for school endowments, $1,000,000 being con- sidered adequate for the School of Music, Journalism or Business Administration. The Graduate School endowment was pro- posed at $3,000,000, Medical School at $10,- 000,000, School of Physical Education $2,- 000,000, School of Architecture and Allied Arts $1,500,000, School of Education $2,- 000,000, and Schools of Law and Applied Social Sciences $1,500,000. It was a magnificent proposal. Unfortu- nately, the depression was at hand. The program slowly lost steam, not through lack of enthusiasm, but lack of ready gifts. In the last major campaign of this pe- riod, the Oregon Mothers managed to raise $10,000, which was used to supply equip- ment for the dispensary. In the period from 1872 to 1930, one significant fact stands out: There were no truly magnificent bequests that sometimes befall a school. Instead, it was a story of many modest gifts, bolstered occasionally by a larger one. It was a story of loyalty and devotion; a story of the willingness of alum- ni and friends to give of their own posses- sions that the people of Oregon might have the finest University possible. (To be con- cluded next issue.) April-May 1957 11 Arden Christensen displays a burst of speed. Christensen competes in the 220 and 440-yard runs and also is on the relay team. He'll be in top form this season. Doug Basham will complete a three-year sports career this season. Besides being one of the outstanding Xorthern Division hurdlers, he's an excellent student. Turning from the basketball court to the javelin, Ed Bingham emerged as one of the top throwers last year, expects to do even better this year. 12 CPRINC SPORTS, always one of Oregon's strong points, are now in full swing and the Webfoots are hopeful the 1957 results will be as successful as those of the past. Coach Bill Bowerman's track squad is after its fourth unbeaten dual meet sea- son and its fourth straight Northern Di- vision meet championship in May at Pull- man, Washington. The track season at Hayward Field will be climaxed on May 17-18 with the Pacific Coast Conference championships. The Oregon baseball team, which has won three championships and one second place in the last four years under the di- rection of Coach Don Kirsch. will face the stiffest kind of competition from Wash- ington, Washington State and Oregon State this spring before the battle for the pen- nant is decided. Coach Sid Milligan's golfers, the per- ennial Northern Division dual match cham- pionship team and the defending Northern Division medal play champions, are again rated as one of the teams to beat for the 1957 title. In tennis Oregon will be operating under a new coach, Dick Williams, and will again be faced with the tough job of matching the talented teams from Washington and Oregon State. The fifth sport which swings into action this spring is football and Coach Len Casanova will call his squad together on April 19 for the 20 days of practice allowed under NCAA and PCC rules and will play the final scrimmage game on May 18 prior to the finals of the PCC track champion- ships. Bowerman's track squad is expected to be one of Oregon's best if it licks the prob- lem of inexperience. The veteran Webfoot coach considers his sophomores the best he has had in nine seasons with the Ducks and perhaps one of the best groups in Ore- gon history. The veterans, however, will be on hand as a steadying influence and will make up the hard core of the team. This group is led by the incomparable Jim Bailey, one of the greatest middle distance runners in Old Oregon Spring Sports By Art Litchman Athletic News Bureau intercollegiate history. Bailey will run both the 880 and the mile concentrating on the shorter distance to plug a hole in the gen- eral team outlook. Jack Brown and Jack Morris are both back for their junior year in the sprints and will be pushed hard by one of the finest sophomores in many years, Steve Anderson. The Tacoma. Washington, rookie is capable of top performances in the sprints, hurdles, broad jump, javelin and can also be used in the high jump. His versatility should be invaluable throughout the season. Doug Basham. a vastly improved senior, will lead the high hurdlers and help should come from Doug Small. In the lows Basham, Morris and Anderson, plus Small again, make up a strong entry. Arden Christensen, a fine 440-yard man last year, returns for his final season and Jerry Christian and Bernie Engley, both sophomores, and Don Steen and Sam Tay- lor, both lettermen, will also be on hand in the quarter mile event. In the middle distances. Bailey will be joined by a brilliant group of prospects.

Anderson has been ap- pointed advertising sales promotion manager of The Globe-Democrat in St.. Louis, 22 Old Oregon First of all, what's it all about? What does a fellow like John Jackson do all day? In his own words, "I keep in touch with the executives of many different companies?advising them on the use of their IBM electronic data processing computers. I person- ally consult with these customers, and analyze their scientific and tech- nical problems for solution by IBM. Occasionally, I'm asked to write papers, and give talks and demon- strations on electronic computing. All in all, it's pretty fascinating . . . something new pops up every day." In other words, John is a full-fledged computing expert, a consultant . . . and a very important person in this age of automation through electronics. Calling on a customer Since the IBM laboratories are always devising easier and faster ways to solve the problems of science, gov- ernment, and industry, an Applied Science Representative can never say he's learned his job and that's the end of it. At least once every two months, he attends seminars to be updated on the latest developments in engineering and operations research. Introduces new methods During the two years that John has spent with IBM in Applied Sci- ence, he has shown innumerable cus- tomers new and better ways to do things electronically. For example: about a year ago, an aircraft manu- facturer wanted to experiment with a radically different design for a nuclear What a MATHEMATICIAN can do at IBM Mathematics is an ancient but ever-advancing science that contains many forms. It shouldn't surprise you then that it took some time before John Jackson discovered the one brand of mathematics that seemed custom- tailored to his ability and temperament. John is an Applied Science Repre- sentative, working out of the IBM office at 122 East 42nd Street, N. Y. C. reactor. The basic format had been established, but the project still re- quired months of toil with mathemat- ical equations. The aircraft people couldn't afford to wait that long, so they called in IBM. After discussion Mapping ouf a computer program with top executives, John helped to map out a computer program that saved the organization over 100 days of pencil-chewing arithmetic. Later, for this same company, John organ- ized the establishment of computer systems for aircraft performance pre- dictions ... for data reduction of wind tunnel tests . . . and for wing stress analysis. At the same time, he worked with this company's own em- ployees, training them in the use of IBM equipment. John still drops around to see that everything is run- ning smoothly. Another service that John performs is the constant reappraisal of each customer's IBM operation. Occasion- ally, a customer may tie himself in knots over a procedural "stickler." Periodically, in fact, John brings IBM customers together . . . just to talk over what's happening in each other's business?how everybody else handled that old bugaboo . .. details. New field for Mathematicians John is exercising his mathematical know-how in a field that was prac- tically unheard of ten years ago. Even now, this kind of work may be news to you. It was to John Jackson a few years back when he was an under- graduate at the University of Colo- rado. At that time, he was considering actuarial work or mathematical re- search. But John liked the excitement and diversification of science and in- dustry and he wanted to use his mathematical background. It was not until he was interviewed by IBM that field computing whetted his sci- entific appetite. A few months later, John launched his own IBM career as an Applied Science trainee. Promotionwise, John has come a long way since then. He's now an Applied Science Representative in one of the biggest offices in the IBM organization... mid-town Manhattan. Discussing a problem with colleague* With his wife, Katherine, and daughter, Lisa, 20 months, and John, Jr., 6 weeks, he enjoys his suburban Port Washington home. He's happy and he's satisfied. And then, too, John knows a few vital statistics about IBM ... such as the fact that the Applied Science Division has quad- rupled during the past three years, and that in 1956 alone, over 70 pro- motions were conferred. If ever a future held promise, here is one. ? ? ? Equally challenging opportunities exist for experienced engineers and scientists in all of IBM's many divisions across the coun- try.

There are many other Bell System programs for the training and advancement of telephone people at various stages of their careers. They include broad liberal arts courses at leading universities as well as schools within the business for executives. From the building of people comes the progress of the business' Bell System's management training programs benefit telephone users and the company as well as telephone men and women. There is nothing more important to good tele- phone service and to the future of the business than the finding and developing of capable people. The Bell System has long been among the lead- ers in this field and it has pioneered many new methods for the training of telephone men and women at various stages of their careers. What we aim to do is to provide both the oppor- tunity and the preparation for a better job. The long-standing policy of making promotions from the ranks also helps to assure the continuing know- how and spirit of the organization. This in turn brings far-reaching benefits to all who use the telephone and to the progress of the company.

Back, Thom- 01,1 Oregon Keeping water out in the rain MASONRY WALLS made of brick, stone, or concrete have long stood the test of time. But today, they can be made even better with a coating of silicone water repellents. These amazing materials prevent damaging rainwater from entering the countless tiny pores or openings in masonry structures. When the water freezes after penetrating, it can cause spalling?cracks off small pieces. And, if it seeps all the way through to the inside of a building, paint peels . . . woodwork warps . . . plaster stains and cracks. Now, silicone water repellents provide the an- swer. Brushed or sprayed on the surface, they line? not seal?the pores in masonry.
