I t'lini-, anyone? Should he a good match here Wednesday
" hen the I Diversity of Oregon netmen meet Oregon State
college in a return engagement in XI) dual meet competition.
Coach Moh Laurence’s Ducks met the Heavers Saturday at
Corvallis and edged them out in a close contest.
Laurence, who is a captain in the Air Force ROTC unit on
the campus, hopes to see a good crowd out for the match, al- •
though there are no permanent seating accommodations at the.
courts. He is under the impression that new bleachers for the
courts have been ordered, but they have not been set up as yet.
Quillian and Flye
\\ hat does Oregon have in tennis this year? Well, Laurence
luinks he has an Outstanding team, perhaps one which will win
thi' Northern Division title.
I hat won’t he decided, however, until the Northern Division
meet at Pullman on May 16-17. Main threats to Duck hopes:
J he \\ ashington Huskies, paced by a pair of young men named
Ouillian and Mye. These two, whose names sound as if they
should be fishermen or musical comedy writers, are the 1951
National Junior mens’ doubles titlists.
On the Duck team are several boys who also know what to
do with a racket, although sadly enough, the one who is prob
ably most talented just isn t eligible, and won’t be.
'Jin', is Paul Willey, a slim Vancouver, 11. C. native, who is
ranked fifth in Canada, and went to Modesto JC in California
the past two years. In 1951, he was a junior college.fijialist in
both singles and doubles, ranked fifth iu the.Northwest, second
in l’ritish Columbia, and helped w in the Canadian' dofiMes
crown.
Oat or Debbil GPA
All this is fine, but lie can't play this season. This is essen
tially because lie does not have a 2.00 cumulative GPA, but it
is more involved than that. In the first place, he did not gradu
nte from high school, so thus hid to enter Oregon as a special
strident. And special students are not eligible for varsity
athletics. Had his grades been high enough, he could have
transferred to regular status, but they were not. All he can do is
study hard and wait for next year.
With Willey out, Tom MacDonald is in the number one
position which he has occupied for the past two years. The tall
senior is not playing up to par, according to Laurence, although
he looked potent against Multnomah and Irvington club’s
Emory Neale.
MacDonald has a very good forehand, volley, and service,
hut Laurence is giving him work on his backhand.
' Currently ranked two and three respectively are Bill Rose
and Jack Neer, both freshmen from Portland. These two are
both possesors of fine all-round games. Rose is especially sharp
on angle shots on a volley (whatever they are), while Neer s
service is getting some polishing from his coach.
Neil George is ranked in fourth spot currently, and he has a
strong, forceful game with an exceptional serve. George, a
junior and letterman, is from Rosemead, Calif.
Battle For Fifth Spot
At the present, junior letterman Don Neraas is in the fifth
and final singles spot, hut is receiving stiff competition from
Ron Lowell, a sophomore.
Laurence is high on Lowell, says he is improving consider
ably. Lowell is no dbuht the most intellectual athlete at Ore
gon, with just a shade under a straight A average in pre-med.
The third freshman on the squad is Bruce Dingier, who like
Lowell is from Klamath Falls. Dingier has potentialities, ac
cording to Laurence, and should develop.
The rankings are flexible, as Laurence uses a modified ladder
system of determining positions. A man may challenge another
who is two steps above him, or one below him.
Chanjpionships—We Hope
Almost every Oregon athletic outfit, including the tennis
team, had a good day Saturday. The baseball squad took a
double header from Portland, the track team downed Idaho,
the golf team topped OSC, and the football squad looked sharp
in intrasquad scrimmage. The only villains were the junior
varsity baseballists, who lost to OSC, 14-2.
In fact, Duck teams should win at least one conference title.
Tracks looks like perhaps the best bet, and if the baseball team
fan get consistent pitching to match the hitting, they may be
champions too,

Lack of Interest In Science Seen By Panel Here
By Al Karr
A panel of scientists and science
educators and their audience at
the Saturday afternoon science
conference coffee hour agreed that
not enough students go into sci
ence in college, not enough sci
entists are produced and high
school teaching and maybe col
lege teaching needs to be made
more fruitful.
They disagreed however, on
! whether to make more science
compulsory in high school and on
the question of concentrating on
the select students or on all stu
dents.
Panel Members
The panel consisted of Alan Wa
terman, director of the national
science foundation; Donald Stotler,
supervisor of science for the Port
land public school system; Clar
I once Diebel, science teacher at
Eugene high school; G. W. Beadle,
chairman of the division of biology,
California Institute of Technology;
G. Boss Robertson, professor of
chemistry, UCLA; and P. J. Van
Rysselberghe, professor of chemis
try. E. G. Ebbighausen, associate
professor of physics, was moder
ator.
Dr. Knowlton I Reed) from the
audience brought out the point that
teachers must make their science
teaching interesting to the indi
vidual student.
Encourage Curiosity
It was the consensus that ways
must be found to encourage the
curiosity necessary before a stu
dent will desire to go on with sci
ence in high school and college. But
some, including Van Rysselberghe,
felt compulsory science is neces
sary to expose students to the op
portunities, while others, chiefly
Stotler, believed curiosity is killed
by compulsion, and wanted stu
dents to continue in science only
through a genuine interest.
On the matter of concentration,
i Robertson asserted that criticism
I of high school teachers which had
i been brought up in the discussion
| was unjustified; that no teacher
J can produce good results with a
; mass of students. He said the in
tellectually alert students should
be concentrated upon.
Stotler, however, said he believed
better results are obtained through
a system which allows all the op
j portunity to learn and improvei
that Charles Darwin, Albert Ein
stein and Thomas Edison would
come to the force under the mod
em system, rather than being fail
ures as judged by the education
system of their day.
Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests

THE
WHALE

\ cow® •
JLoor guy was submerged in a veritable sea of
cigarette tests! He didn’t know whether he should
‘"blow”—or just jettison the whole job! But he
fathomed the matter when he suddenly realized
that cigarette mildness can’t be judged in one
quick spout! Millions of smokers have found, too,
there’s a thorough tfigarette test!
It’s the sensible test... the 30-Day Camel
Mildness Test, which simply asks you to trv Camels
as your steady smoke — on a day-after-day,
pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments! Once
you’ve tried Camels in your ‘'T-Zone”
(T for Throat, T for Taste), you’ll see why . . .

After all the Mildness Tests ...
