Established Businessman
Enters UO as a Freshman
By Ward Lindbeck
It is the usual thing for col
lege students to have come right
from high school or the services.
It’s not too unusual when a stu
dent is a retired teacher or busi
ness man. But it is unusual when
a person continues his well-started
•business career while attending
college.
That's what Milton Van Zanten,
31, is doing. He is a pre-journalism
freshman is registered at the Uni
versity for the first time last
summer. If things go right, he
said, he’ll go straight through and
^et his BA. in three years or so.
Not a Whim
Going to college isn’t just a
whim with him. He has a defin
ite purpose; one thit will further
•ifiis career in the insulation busi
ness. The burden of a proposed
nation-wide advertising program
^••ests on his shoulders, he said, and
afce wants to be prepared.
Van Zanten is carrying 14 hours
this term. Besides his school work.
*fcis duties as general manager of
.Southern Oregon for the Therm
O-Seal Insulation Co., keep him
..pretty busy.
Bailt House
But last summer, he and his
wife found time to design and
-build a six-room house at 90 Gil
-vham Rd., where they and their
. four children now live. The rough
lumber of the house cost only $159.
Most of it came from two large
chicken houses which he and his
Wife tore down.
Oregano Salesman
Wanted Now
A call for Oregana salesmen has
been issued by Chuck Isaac, busi
ness manager of the yearbook.
-Isaac said men are especially
wanted.
The top three Oregana salesmen
this term will receive free 1952
Oreganas. Isaac said.
Barbara Zumwalt. junior in edu
cation. and John Hudson, senior
sociology., were the top two
salesmen fally term, each receiv
^ing free books. The only living
organization with more than 90
^»er cent of its members having
■•purchased Oreganas is Pi Beta
Phi, also receiving a free year
book.
Isaac said students interested in
Ihe sales work may contact him at
-<he Oregana business office in the
Student Union or at Tau Kappa
-•Spsilon.

' He also contracts to build
houses in Springfield. One house
has been completed, and another
is well on its way. Plans call for
21 houses. He sub-contracts the
construction to carpenters, elec
tricians. plumbers, etc. This sys
tem takes little time, he said.
Most of the work can be done
i by telephone.
Kan Meat Market
Before coming to Eugene Van
Zanten was a partner in the Mun
Aik Meat Co. of Salem. Two re
tail meat stores was leased by him
in the two Saving Center markets.
He sponsored a 15-minute radio
program for 16 weeks, and ran the
program himself.
He also wrote a column for the
Salem Shopping News. In the col
umn he told readers how to pre
pare meat and preserve it by
freezing, utilizing previous expe
rience in Minnesota.
He joined the Navy after grad
uation from high school. “I was in
47 states.” he commented, then
added, ‘'that was the Navy, not
1 the Army."
Van Zanten and his wife oper
ated a market and locker in Elk
ton. Minn., until they moved to
Oregon.
House Burns
A short while before the moved
from Salem to Eugene, fire de
stroyed their house, with all their
clothes and furnishings.
‘‘We went to a drive-in theater
a little after eight that night," he
recounted. “The children were
restless so we left early and got
home shortly after ten. All there
was where our house stood were
fire trucks and a crowd." Much
of the loss was recovered by in
surance, he said.

Students Favor
Campus Primary
In ASUO Election
By Laura Sturges
An all-campus primary during
spring term student body elec
tions was favored by most stu
dents interviewed Friday, but
many professed to know little
about the plan proposed by the
United Students association.
The plan, presented to the
ASUO senate Thursday by USA
member Virginia Wright, calls for
students to vote directly for party
candidates for the general student
body election.
Gordon Porter—freshman in lib
eral arts—“Sounds like a good
idea. I haven't read anything about
It.”
Bob Kennedy—freshman in busi
ness -*'I think it would be a good
idea. It seems that you would get
better officers.”
Susan Drummond — sophomore
in liberal arts-"I think it would
be a good idea. Very good experi
ence for the students. I'm not too
‘up' on this.”
Jim Allen -junior in PE—"It's
the all-time high."
Jack Bonner -junior in sociol
ogy—“I think the old system is by
far the better."
Vk-tor Nakliar — graduate in
economcis—“I like it better, since
it will stimulate student interest."
Marilyn Bistline — freshman in
home economics—“I like this one
better; it's more interesting. Stu
dents will take more part in it and
there will be more enthusiasm.”
Frelda Dodd* junior in sociol
ogy—"I think you wouldn't get a
very good rseponse from the stu
dents, because Oregon is notorious
for not having much school spirit
for such things. I don't think it's
a good idea; it will make a lot of
needless work for those concern
ed."
Lucille Wright—senior in jour
nalism—“I think it's an excelent
idea. Perhaps it would interest the
students in learning about their
American government, with na
tional conventions to be held this
summer.”
