liberty!" But remember, poor
Winkelrted was killed.
I am referring to the action
of the faculty on the National
Defense Art funds. This move,
for which the courageous and
crusading Emerald asks a vote
of confidence, looks like a fine
and noble thing. But I wonder if
it wasn't a little petty and fool
ish.
It impresses one, at first, as a
little like the affectation of some
professors who, even though
graduates of Washington State
add an "r" to “idea” In emula
tion of their Harvurd brethern.
But beyond this there is soine
thing much more sinister about
the action of the faculty. They
h ive taken upon themselves the
responsibility for a grave de
cision which is not really theirs.
In attacking their little wind
null, they have done a great In
justice to those who they are
supposed to serve, the people of
Oregon. . •
Do not forget that the Uni
versity of Oregon, unlike Yale,
B ‘.I, Amherst, and the other
schools refusing federal aid, is
a part of the state of Oregon.
It lias responsibilities to Ore
gonians In providing the best
possible education for them and
their children. I hardly sec how
rejecting the great resources
available to the state through
the National Defense Act Is 11 v
Ing up to that responsibility. If
denied these funds the people
of Oregon must. dig deeper into
their pocketn to provide what
they could have had and wlpit
other Htatea are having. Or they
may do without. This In certain
ly a sorry choice. Yale and Har
vard have their prime assets In
the great wealth of their
"alurnni and friend*." To make
up her Iowa, the Univeraity of
Oregon must fall la»ck on the
citizen* of the atate.
Perhaps it in healthy for the
faculty to don their hair ahirta
and lament the tragic impossi
bility of accepting "such a good
plan” if the Board of Higher
Kducation acts as a restraint by
considering the interest of the
state as a whole. But if the poli
cies of the statef government are
to l*e dictated by a minority
with an acute sense of persecu
tion. I suggest that the state
is in trouble.
There are several other points
on which the action of the fac
ulty could be attacked, the most
important of which is the fact
that there is little actual or im
plied threat In that wicked and
dreadftil oath. But I think the
point stressed above is suf
ficient cause for rejecting The
Emerald's plea for a vote of
confidence.

State Board officials

Members of the State Board of
Higher Education, meeting in
Portland Monday, said they plan
to meet at least once a year on
each of the state's two major
campuses, Oregon and Oregon

The group was cool, however,
to a suggestion that they hold
regular meetings in Salem.

commissions meet in public
places. The education group had
been holding most of its meetings
in a Portland hotel.

the board. It is not something
the administration can take a
stand in either way.”

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Dick Petzoid discusses time charges for a customer's telephone installation with an administrative assistant.
How to avoid a “dead end" career:
read Dick Petzold’s story
While a senior at the University of Mary
land, accounting major Richard C.
Petzold made some definite decisions
about his future. “I wanted to work for
an established company,” he says, “but I
didn’t want to get lost in a ‘dead end’job.”
Dick joined the Chesapeake and Po
tomac Telephone Company in Washing
ton, D. C., right after graduating in June,
1956. Following three months of orien
tation, he became a supervisor in Reve
nue Accounting, where he continued
training in a productive capacity, with 15
people reporting to him. Here, he sug
gested a number of methods improve
ments which were adopted.
Far from a “dead end” career, Dick's
took him into many operating areas:
• to General Accounting, where he
handled market research projects, includ
ing a Customer Opinion Survey for four
Bell System companies ...
• to Disbursements Accounting, for
IBM-equipment training and, later on,
the supervision of Payroll Deduction
procedures...
• to Personnel Relations, where he co
ordinated a special, four-company “ab
sentee” study and presented findings to
an important, top-level conference...
• to Disbursements Accounting again,
where he is now Supervisor, Labor and
Material, with an administrative assistant
and 10 clerks under his guidance.
“The telephone company brings out
the best in you,” says Dick. “I’ve devel
oped new skills, acquired self-reliance,
and learned how to supervise and work
with people. What’s the opposite of a
‘dead end’ career? Well, I’ve got it!”
Dick Pelzold earned a B.S. degree in Accounting while in
college. He’s one of many young men with varied college
backgrounds who are iinding rewarding careers with the Bell
Telephone Companies. Learn about opportunities for you.
