Sports Psychology Vortex,
Builds Headaches For. U.S.
Colleges, OSC Prexy Says
CORVALLIS W A "maelstrom of sports psychology
which has . . ... a vice-like grip on America" has resulted
in difficult nroblems for the nation's colleges, President
A. L. Strand of Oregon State College said.
Writing in the alumni magazine, , - 1 : : ; rr
Strand said: ."The choice is to '? ; Prevent, for instance, the
stay in the system and live with i uu f'"'? "ui" ""'
its pressures and injustices or get , r ,
out. This is superficial thinking.
for most of us known that there
is no choice, about it. We are not
free even to consider the choice."
Strand's article was occasioned
hv the resignation of football coach
Kip Taylor. He quit at the end of
a season in which his team won
only one game and lost eight. !
Strand said there were some
very good things to be derived
from intercollegiate athletics, but
"manv injustices to coaches and
not infrequently to players seem to
be part and parcel of the system.
No institution that we know of has
been able to avoid the bad by
products by assuring the security
of coaches or has found any way

when he was pinned between two
logs. Hospital attendants Monday
said he received no fractures and
was "doing fine."
Meanwhile, members of the Me-
Casim family in Glendale were bat
tered in two separate accidents
in the southern part of the county.
Two members of the family
were in a car just before mid
night Saturday which was driven
by former Glendale basketball star
Bobby i Hale. Hale, "driving his
father's car, lost control of it at
the approach of the Cow Creek
Bridge on the Glendale Road. The
1 car went into the ditch, shaking
up all lour youths in the car. Ger
ald McCaslin, 22, suffered a brok
en nose. Hale, 19, Betty McCaslin,
17, and Diannd Halstead, 16, were
the others in the car.
Sunday niorning, Tom McCas
lin, a brother of the McCaslins in
the earlier wreck, ' was taken to
Forest Glen Hospital after a cat
he was riding-in turned over in a
ditch. Darwin, Furlong was .the
driver of the. car. McCaslin was
thrown out of the car and suffered
a hip injury. He spent Sunday in
the hospital but was home today.
The accident occurred between
Canyonville and Glendale.
Still another Glendale driver lost'
control of his car and rode it into
the ditch south of Canyonville Sun-
flay night. He was Don Henderson.
He was unhurt.
Damage to two cars In Roseburg
was estimated at $800 after a col
lision on Stephens Street near
Douglas Saturday morning. Offi
cers said JnmeB W. Sorenson, 42,
Longvicw, Wash., failed to stop
jus car in time to- Koep from
smashing into the rear of one op
crated by Erland Andrew West
berg, 37, Drain. No citations were
written, and neither man was in
jured, -.. -
in the long run
"When changes are made in
coaching stafis, the public as
sumes that the real cause is too
many defeats. There is bo denying
that is the basic reason, but it
may not be the immediate or
foremost consideration. Too many
losses produce side reactions of
various sorts, dissensions ana
incompatibilities that are impos
sible to mend," he wrote.
The college president continued
that school budgets have become
so dependent on such things as
Rose Bowl and TV receipts that
"athletic directors shudder at the
mere thought of losing that source
of easy dollars. The upshot is that
we try to compete in a league
where the division of talent is very
tough. It is expected that there will
be periods of frustration. Very
unfortunately and often unjustly,
the coaching personnel receives
the brunt of these reactions..."
"In conclusion, I want to jsay J
Ilia! in mv ncfimatinn vp wnn'M
obtain a better coach than Kip
Taylor. Furthermore he has shown
himself to be a bigger man than
the system of which he is a part.
Few men facing the situation he
did would have risen to the
occasion with the courage and good
will which he has displayed,"
Strand wrote. ,,

Rendition Of 'Messiah'
Plecses Record Throng '
By LAURA OLSON
Staff Writer, N.ws-R.vi.w
The impressive music of Han
del's "Messiah" brought the true
spirit of Christmas to more than
1,600 Douglas County residents
Sunday evening.
It was the largest crowd ever
to hear the oratorio in Roseburg.
The audience in the Roseburg High
School gymnasium was treated to
a well-rounded, amateur perform
ance. Some 85 members of the
Roseburg Choral Society and
church choirs in the immediate
community joined voices in a Fes
tival ChoiP. , - .
Paced by four guest soloists,
choir members presented a forece
ful and well-defined shortened in
terpretation of the monumental
work of th German composer. Di
rector S. Clarence Trued led the
singers 'and the Roseburg Sym
phonic Group orchestra.
Special mention of the soloists
seems mandatory. Soprano Exine
Anderson brought a great depth of
musical compassion to her solo
airs. It was the third year she had
appeared in the local productions.
Arthur Bailey, his voice well mod
ulated yet retaining a necessary
amount of dash, was' heard as ten
or soloist.
Two artists were heard here for
the first time. Mrs. William A.
McLaughlin deserves special cred
it as alto soloist. While Mrs. Mc
Laughlin was heard oniv once.
she brought a low, warm and re
freshing touch to her recitation
Then Shall the Eyes of the Blind
be opened." Rounding out the solo
parts was Charles Trombley, bass.
The evening was not without
its complications. A blown tube in
the electric organ necessitated a
quick switch to the piano for all
accompaniement. it also necessi
tated some quick sight reading by
orchestra members. Director Tru
ed and his musicians bridged the
gap competently.
This reporter was particularly.
impressed by the presentation of
the choral numbers. Certainly the
festival society made Christmas
a more wonderful season by its
musical skill.
An intermission talk titled, "The
Enriching Event," , was delivered
by Dr. James Millar. The invoca
tion was given by The Rev. Newell
Morgan and the benediction by
the Rev. Ellsworth Tilton. -

Sparkman said that after a bad

initiative," and he added: "If they
continue that, they will find the

Sparkman predicted, however,

strong Democratic opposition over

U.S. Tells U.N. It Would
Never Compromise With
Nation Using Forced Labor
By A.I. GOLDBERG
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Wl -The
United States told the U.N.
Saturday it would never compro
mise with a Communist system
that keeps millions of people in
forced labor.
A.M. Johnson, Washington State
director of the department of la
bor and industries, told the social
welfare committee that the Chi
nese mainland's 600 million peo
ple had now come under the So
viet Union's pattern of "an ab
horrent system of slave labor
spreadiag from the place of- its
origin to another continent."
He alleged the Soviet Union,
whose practices were used as a
model behind the Iron Curtain,
convicted itself by its refusal to
make any real reply to a U.N.
questionnaire on forced labor.
The alternate U.S. delegate told
the committee old fashioned
slavery had long ago been aban
doned by the civilized world.
"But this thing we call forced
labor exists en a huge - scale,
Johnson said.
"It involves uncounted millions
of helpless human beings. And it
is an instrument of concerted gov
ernment policy in a contiguous
region of the world where nearly
one billion people live. .
"It is certainly one of the para
mount obligations of our United
Nations to seek paths, day in and
day out, for closer understanding
between nations and differing po
litical systems.
