Last Minute Preparations
A behind the scenes shot from “Human Growth.”
Beck /Movie, 'Human Growth/
Creates Strong National Appeal
By Donna Kletzing
Articles published in Time and Newsweek magazines March
22, as well as in several other national publications, on “Human
Growth,” the color film on human reproduction and growth
sponsored by the E. C. Brown Trust with technical supervision
by the University of Oregon, are the cause for several hundred
letters, telephone calls, wires, and even one cablegram from
Brazil. Dr. Lester F. Beck, associate professor of psychology,
wrote the film script and supervised its production.
The film was produced primarily for use within the state of
Oregon, but because it was a good job its fame has snowballed
throughout the country with requests for use coming in from
a large number of sources. An article of three full pages and
two half pages also will appear in Life magazine probable

A plan is underway to enter a.
measure on the November ballot,
which, if passed, will divert some
of the income tax surpluses to
building construction for schools of
higher education in Oregon.
If appropriations are made, the
science classroom laboratory will be
constructed first because plans are
already drawn up. It was included,
in the University’s program for use
of its share of a $5,000,000 appro
priation voted in 1947 for the en
tire state system.
Was Postponed
