Jack-of-All-Trades'
Describes SU Official
JIM FQXD, the SU’s assistant director, is in his third month at
the new position. Last year Pond was head counselor at Morton Hall
By PHIL IIAGEK
Emerald Feature Editor
The University's new assistant
SU director will be a sort of
“jack-of-all-trades.”
These are the words 26-vear
old Jim Pond Chooses to describe
his 2'2 months-old job, the job
he’s been on since July 1. He was
appointed to the position just be
fore school was out last spring.
Pond, at that time, was head
counselor at the Morton unit of
Earl Hall.
His main duty will be advising
cimpug publications: the Em
erald, Oregana. Pigger's Guide,
and Ore-Nter. In this capacity he
will be a non-voting member of
the publications board.
His other duties, he feels, are
“hard to define.” He's in charge
of SU administrative offices, and
in Director Si Ellingson’s absence,
Pond will run the SU.
This summer Pond helped co
ordinate SU facilities with the
University’s summer recreation
program.
Leaves Iowa
Pond was torn in Dubuque,
Iowa. Later his surroundings
changed from cornfields to palm
trees—he moved to Beverly Hills,
Calif.
After graduation from Beverly
Hills High in 1947, Pond went to
UCLA where he received a B.A.
in history in 1951. His next four
years were spent in the claims
division of the Prudential Life In
surance corpor ation in Los. Ange
les.
Last fall Pond came to the Uni
versity for graduate work in his
tory, also taking the counselor’s
job at Morton Hall. His work as
head man at Morton undoubtedly
was a push in the right direction
toward his present job.
He himself says that the coun
seling job has helped him in word
ing with the students and in get
ting better acouainted with cam
pus organizations.
Works Easily
Pond’s approach to dorm prob
lems has been cdlled "low-pres
sure.” But “low-pressure" or not
he gets the job done.
University officials generally
concluded that his counseling
work was "outstanding." Dean of
Men Ray Hawk said that he was
“pleased and flattered” that a
counselor was picked to fill a
job that came with a change in
the SU personnel and organiza
tional set-up.
Pond says he’s "well-pleased”
with his new job. If this year goes
as smoothly for him as his last
one did, the people he works with
will be “well-pleased” too.

New Standard plant foods help the West
produce better meals at less cost
Broadcasting gf Standard's new uniform chemically blended plant food
by airplane can turn sparse hilly acres into rich pasture for livestock
RICHER SOIL means better crops, yet the West has
never had enough soil-building fertilizer. To help meet
farmers’ needs, Standard opens a $16 million plant next
month which will produce petroleum-derived plant
food* in pellet form for Western soils and crops.
This uniform blend of essential plant growth elements
is so effective that 400 pounds on an acre of grassland
often enables it to feed 3 to 5 times-more livestock. On
other crops, too, it increases profits per acre. With this
better use of Western land, your family, will get tastier,
more "flourishing meals for every budget dollar.
