(1 Chuck Missfeldt Is recogniz ed as a very superior Javelin throw er. Because he concentrates each spring on his spear throwing, his football prowess suffers some what. Here. Aiken concedes to Bowerman. It's balanced by Bow ‘■rrmiii giving to Aiken in the case of Barnes, and so on . We could name others, now in school and here in the past. Look at the well-remembered Dick Wilk ins. for instance. Wilkins was a pit cher, a high jumper, and the great est end prospect (once he was dis covered ) to hit the campus in years. This was after he used up his bask etball eligibility, of course. What could he do ? To be a de cent pitcher he had to work on his arm. To be a decent high jumper he had to work on his jump. To be a decent end (and ho hadn't played football since his high school daysl he had to work on being an end. The coaches involved had to get to gether and decide which lie was po tentially best at. Football got the majority of his time. Dook at the amount of time little Joe Tom put in being a quarter t oacn .iim \iken back And he was a valuable asset at that position, too. Now he's con centrating on baseball and doing great. The way college athletics are set up these days it's pretty dif ficult fur an athlete to make murks In more than one sport. Boh Peterson and Curt Barclay, stars in the late and successful Wetifoot basketball season, are reputed to be good baseball pit chers. But a guy can’t do them all and stay in school, From nil indications, Jim Loscut off would be quite a hit on the foot ball field. But a guy can’t do them all and stay in school. And, more important in the case of the indi viduals mentioned here, a guy can’t do them all and be really good in any one at the same time. So far this beautiful spring term the weather has been good to Ore gon athletics. Spring football will slosh on regardless of the weather, but baseball and track (and tennis too) find things slowing down if the rains come. Hope they don’t come. Hugh Stubbins Speaks On Architecture Phase "Architecture is environment,” saiil Hugh Stuhbins, nationally known educator in architecture from Harvard University and prac ticing architect last night in the Dads’ Lounge of the Student Union. "It is something you must ex perience," Stubbins continued. Pic tures and models are poor substi tutes for experience, explained the well-known architect whose-major interest lies in the field of residen tial housing. It is like trying to appreciate the splendor and magnificence of the Giand Canyon through a post Card, he said before going on to present an illustrated discussion of his work. Stubbins showed examples of contemporary architecture in color ed slides, which he had taken him self. Among these slides were pic tures of both private homes and several veteran’s housing projects. His own home was shown in the slides. Suggesting that the public has never really seen good examples of the new style of architecture, Stub bins said that this may be the rea son they had not welcomed it. Our business is to build better environment, said the noted archi tect, who has recently been award ed honorable mention in the Archi tectural Forum’s home design con test. He told listening students, We have to improve and develop as we go along. He warned these students that they might never get rich, but he promised that if they liked the work, they would find it interest ing and rewarding. "Architecture is still an art," he continued, and it must be carried on with proportion, color, scale, and beauty, even if the beauty must be economical. "I don't believe in specialization in architecture,” said Stubbins. To me, he went on, the interesting thing is diversification, but people sometimes drive the architect to specializaton. Still talking about the field of architecture, Stubbins told his au dience that unfortunately today the architect is too many things. In addition to being a designer, he said, the architect must also be an engineer, lawyer, business man, accountant, and even a psycho analyst. WRA Mulls Activities At Retreat Tentative calendar and activi ties for the ensuing year were dis cussion items at the Women's Re creation Association annual re treat for officers and cabinet mem bers last weekend at Heceta Beach near Yachats. Joan Skordahl, new WRA president, was in charge. The group decided to hold a social and business meeting for all WRA members at the beginning of each term. In the past, full-club meetings were held only for initia tion. Friday Co-recreational nights will be continued next year, the WRA leaders decided. They will be held every two weeks fall and winter terms. The check system was revised to give cabinet members a check per term. These checks are also given for participation in intramurals or membership in one of the WRA clubs, and are the basis for giving an award or emblefn. The annual presentation of the house partici pation cup is based on the check system. It was re-emphasized that women cannot earn checks count ing toward the house participation cup unless they are members of WRA. Other discussion topics were the fall program to acquaint freshman i women with WRA and rotating sports' days with other schools. At the conclusion of the retreat, outgoing WRA President Bonnie Gienger was presented with a' watch as a gift from the organiza tion. Jeannette Masilionis, instruc tor in physical education and ad viser to the group, was also given a gift. Journalism Honorary Elects New Officers New offices of Theta Sigma Phi, national fraternity for women in journalism, were elected Tuesday noon. Newly elected officers are Eretchen Grondahl, president; Lorna Larson, vice president; Lucille Wright, secretary; Adeline Garbarino, treasurer; Gladys Ser gent, keeper of the archives. Installation of officers will be at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Sigma Kappa house. 'Comedy7 Tryouts To Continue Tryouts for “Comedy of Errors” by William Shakespeare, will con tinue at 4 p.m. today in the lab theater, 102 Villard, according to Paul Wexler, director of the pro duction. About 13 roles remain to be cast including the counterparts of two sets of male twins. Wexler em phasized that previous experience in theater work is not necessary. The play, an outdoor production, is scheduled to open late in May. Employment Office Lists Several Jobs The employment office has an opening for operating small fish ing boats, for someone who holds a small boat license, or is qualified to get one. There is a demand for experi enced service station workers, and one job for a waitress who can work from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., as well as several better-paid labor prospects. ' Anyone who is registered at the employment office who has not been in this term should call at the office immediately, officials stated. State Aid Due All veterans on Oregon state aid should sign in $or spring term by noon Saturday at the veteran's counter in Emerald Hall. Calverley I DC Head Bob Calverley, president of Stit zer Hall, was elected president of the Inter Dormitory Council yes terday as the I DC met briefly for the first time this term. Other officers elected were vice president—Jim Mead, president of Merrick Hall; and secretary-trea surer—Don Dewey, president of Nester Hall. All these halls are in the Veterans Dormitory. This is the first time since the IDC began keeping records that a male has been elected secretary treasurer. It is the result of an ammendment to the IDC constitu tion passed last term making in dependent women representatives ex-officio members of the council. Of the 15 independent organiza tions on the IDC list, 10 were pre sent and voting. Bill Clothier, out going president of the group, outlined the scope of IDC activities to the new council and offered a letter, written by the last council, urging continuation of the deferred pledging policy. Coach Aiken Praises (Please turn to page five) about 5 ft. 6 in. and 190 pounds— and has proven effective against much taller opponents. Allman Stars Howard Allman, 5 foot 10 inches and 195 pounds is living up to the outstanding promise he showed last fall as a guard for Bill Bower man's Frosh Club. Bob "Bunny” Easter is what Aiken calls the "old man” of the ballclub. The husky left half is the only athlete from the Oregon Cot ton Bowl team of 1948 who still has eligibility remaining. - * Odum Dedhi ^EMERALD TODAY'S STAFF Assistant Managing Editor: Bob Funk Copy Desk: A1 Karr, Larry Ho bart, Bryce Decker NIGHT STAFF Night Editor: Sarah Turnbull Night Staff: Pat Choat, Deaa Spitzinogle, Joan Marie Miller, Dick Wyss, Edith Kading Both Washington and West Vir ginia recognize the rhododendron as their state flower. j SPRING FEVER \ ALREADY?
