(Ms
ROY M. THOMPSON is Rose
burg High School's new head
fotball coach. Thompson was
coach at Astoria High for six
years. (Astorian Budget)
tic Director "Dutch" Simons and
departing coach Ecklund.
Simons said, "Roy Thompson is
one of the better young coaches
in the stale. We're very pleased I
to get him and know that he is a '
real student of . football. 1 know I
he will fit nicely into the commu-'
nity, and 1 feel he is the type of i
person Roseburg-will welcome. He!
is highly regarded in Astoria. Un-1
der his guidance, the football pro-1
gram there has tripled."
Lauded By Ecklund ,
Ecklund commented, "R o y
Thompson is a fine football coach.
My Gresham teams played his in
the Metropolitan League, and the
defense used by his teams was one
of the best the Gresham team
faced. His teams ran a fine split
T, and 1 feel he will handle the
Indians real well. I know the kids
will like him and his coaching."
Thompson submitted his resigna
tion at Astoria the same day he
was informed of his selection to
the Roseburg position.
When contacted by The News
Review, Thompson stated: "My
family and I are looking forward
to living in Roseburg1 and know we
will like it. I'm happy to be of
fered the football post at Rose
burg High and feel there are some
fine players there."
The signing of Thompson ended
a search of slightly over a month
for a coach to replace Ecklund.
Many applications from coaches in
this state and neighboring slates
were received by officials and
screened before the selection was
made.
The Indians will open the 1958
season on Sept. 12, hosting Ash

Tribe will meet Corvallis, Grants

Much Class Time
Now Devoted To
Dress Discussions
An important facet of school life
nowadays is a growing movement
throughout the country with seri
ous class discussions about be
havior and dress.
These are encouraged by PTA
groups, educators, and others as a
way to combat what some people
say is a trend to excessive casual
ness which does, at times, border
on carelessness.
The thought behind the whole
idea is that a boy who is tidy about
the way he dresses will be prob
ably want to be tidy in his work
and general behavior. Being well
dressed is easy (or the young fol

And it's a lot of fun for him, too,

Taking Pictures

There are no more lasting rec

the student.
From fixed focus box cameras to

Oakland School
Hears Talk On
Eugeno Fisher of Oakland, vice
president of the Oregon School
Boards Assn., attended the Nation
al School Boards Assn., convention
where he heard it announced that
a unique Educational Television
Workshop will be developed.
Fisher, who is also president of
the Douglas County School Board
Assn., attended the convention
which vs held in Miami Beach,
Fla. Keynote speaker at the event
was John L. Burns president of
the Radio Corp. of America.
The speaker announced that RCA
will establish, in collaboration with
New York University, a unique
$100,000 Education Television Work
shop to develop and disseminate
the most effective television teach
ing techniques for the nation's
schools.
Declaring that television and oth
er electronic teaching aids can
"bring about a massive upgrading
of our educational standards,"
Burns said that RCA will set up the
Workshop at New York University.
He said the company will also sup
port a University Professorship in
Educational TV at NYU to provide
supervision for the workshop.
"Primary aim of this project,"
he said, "is to serve the public
schools of the United States and to
henefit nil education. The work
shop will bring together tne nest
ideas of piofessional educators, re
sponsible laymen in the education
movement. Droaocasiers ana ex
peris in the graphic arts.
Exciting Possibilities
"Through continual experimenta
tion, it will strive to develop more
imaginative and stimulating pre
sentation in every subject (rom
atmnic cmM.gy l0 zoology
in New York. Dr. John E. Ivey,
Jr., executive vice president of
New York University, said in a
statement: "Television offers excit
ing possibilities for improving the
range and quality of American edu
cation. Bet to realize these possi
bilities fully, we must translate
erlnmtinrinl obiectives into a con
tent and form suited to the tele
vision medium. We feel that the
Educational Television Workshop
is an important and practical step
to achieve this goal, v and we are
happy to play a part in u.
Burns went on to say that "the
challenge confronting American
schools today is to critical that it
calls for sweeping new approaches
to all aspects of education, especi
ally to tne proDiem oi commiini
caiion between teacher and stu
dent."
He said that electronics can go
lone wav toward helning to raise
today's educational standards and
meet tomorrow s staggering neeus.
It offers a "realistic solution" to
the present shortages of teachers
and facilities, the prospect of high

ers, and the opportunity for more
individualized instruction.

"This ability has been confirmed
conclusively .' he went on, "by. tliei
great strides made in the experi
ments now unaer way. ei me peo
ple who have worked most inti
mately In tilts field are acutely
aware of cne major shortcoming.
The big need, they say, is to de
velop teaching talent and lesson
content that will take fullest ad
vantage of television's priceless po
tentialities, o
"In an effort to meet this need,
the Educational Television Work
shop is being established. It is be
ing established to create and de
velop, through research, the most
effective aural' and visual tech
niques for classroom television and
to make available the results of
this research to teachers' colleges,
elementary and secondary schools,

groups.',
"We will completely equip a stu

for experimentation of the various
techniques of classroom TV. We
will maintain and service the equip
ment for one full year. And we
wilt draw on NBC s skill and re
sources to provide guidance in
graphic arts presentation
and
broadcast techniques.
Classroom Television
Burns said that the potential of
television and other new electronic
teaching tools is so great that it is
fascinating to visualize "lhe school
of tomorrow."
"Televiccd lessons will originate
from a central building having per
haps four or five master studios,"
he expla:ned. "The lessons will be
carried into classrooms all over a
city or an entire county.
"Because of the television cam
era's ability to magnify tiny ob
jects, hundreds of students peer
ing at classroom receivers Ufrough
out the city will have front-row
seats for the lessons and demon
strations. -
"When events justify it, there is
no technical reason why all schools
throughout the country could not
be t ed toaether in one vast eau-
cational network lo take advantage
of television's magic gift for thrust
ing millions of spectators at once
into the lap of hislory-in-lhe-mak-ing."
"On the teacher's desk, the tra
ditional bright red apple will have
been replaced by a multiple-control
nanel and magnetic tape players.
The tape machines will run pre
recorded lessons especially geared
to the level of tne suraems, rang
ing (rom the slow learners to those
who are hUhly advanced. Each
taupil will follow the lesson with

If the classroom teacher wants to
refer to a library book, he will
simply consult his 'television di
rectory' and dial a number. Instant
ly, a microfilm edition of the book
will appear on the TV screen.
Summing up the advantages of
television. Burns cited the follow
ing points:
"First, It can raise the quality
of instruction by extending the in
fluence of the best teachers in
your own school system and intro
ducing if you prefer the best
teachers in the nation on video
tape."
Dignitoritt Visit
"Second television enables you
to call tipun men of specalized ta
lent in your own communities (or
occasional lectures. And it pro
vides an opportunity (or bringing
into the classroom again through
video tape the greatest minds of
our times: Men like Carl Sandburg
and Arnold Tnvnhen nn histrnv.
Dr. Jonas Salk on medical re-
research Wernher von Braun on
outer space, Dag Hammarskjold on
diplomacy, Frank Lloyd Wright on
architecture, and Robert Frost on
literature.
"Third, television can extend the
classroom to limitless fields. To
missile ranges and inside atomic
reactors. To planes in flight and
legislatures in session. To living
bacertia i.nii cells, and to galaxies
of evolving stars. To points on and
beneath the land and sea.
"Fourth, television through
more efficient use of teachers and
classrooms can ease the great
shortages now plaguing our schools,
and at the same time to provide
more attention to students' Indivi
dual needs.
"Fifth television promised great
reduction in the cost of education
per student and enables schools to
match the salaries that now lure
some of our finest teachers into
other fields. I should caution that
this will only happen when broad
and effective uses are made of
television," he laid.
