expensive buninenn both In fac
ulty time and In material* and
equipment. We are sometimes
told that Oregon, a pool' ntate,
cannot ufford It.
MV KKIIMONAL view in that
we cannot afford to do lens.
The wealth of thin ntate in the
yearn to corns will have to
be counted not In terms of fer
tile fields or forests but in
trained minds of top quality
In all areas, and especially in
science.
Our third major task, inti
mately bound up with the oth
«in. i« HnoBich. The experience
of n m'llenium of university
history Im that teaching without
research is sterile. Moreover,
there is only one place in our
society where the conditions for
basic research are all present to
gether, the universities.
At the University of Oregon
the growth of research in the
past decade is especially re
rnarKable. Ten years ago re
search wap regarded as a fringe
activity of the staff and there
were neither sp'C® nor funds to
support It. My own research,
for example, was done In those
days in a crowded comer of a
dark office in the basement of
Dcady Hall before it was re
modeled. We made a great ad
vance when in 1953 we moved
into the present building with
excellent research facilities and,
at the time, adequate space.
The present additions to the
building except for the large
lecture room in the south wing
will all he research space and
will fill the space when we move
in.
IX FEBHl ARY of this year
we had In the deparmtenls of
biology, physics, and chemistry,
research and graduate training
projects supported by funds
from outside the university
budgeted at $1,365,226. Moat of
thla money conies from the fed
eral government. About one
fourth of it is specifically for
training of teachers and gradu
ate students. The rest is for
research as such. Research has
become big business at Ore
gon. We hope it will become
even bigger.
As research grows, so does the
quality of our faculty. Recent
additions of outstanding schol
ars include Terrell Hill and
Richard Noyes, Virgil Boekel
heide and John Schellman in
chemistry; Aaron Novick,
Frank Stahl, George Streisin
ger in molecular biology; Ed
ward Novitski in biology; and
coming next year, Donald O.
Wells in nuclear physics and
J. C. Kemp in solid state phys
ics.
TWO research institutes, the
Institute of Molecular Biology
and the Institute of Theoreti
cal Science have been set up.
The Institute of Molecular Bi
ology has already begun opera
tion and has attracted interna-1
tional attention. Their work is j
concentrated on one of the most;
fundamental aspects of life, the
machinery by which the here- j
dity information contained in j
the genetic material of the cell
directs activity in the cell, tell
ing it what to do and how to do
it. This is also related to Dr.
Novitski’g work in the Biology
Ode to Insects
Butterflies have wings of white
Firebugs wings of flame,
Dairy Queens have no wings
at all
But they get there just the same.

Department where he has re
cently Initiated a study of new
approaches to biochemical gen
etics and la making a search
for gencH in fruit flies which
will influence biochemical
events.
Dr. Cohen’s studies of the sen
sory mechanisms of crabs have
attracted great interest as con
stituting a new and fundamen
tal approach to the problem
of the mechanisms by which the
information reaching the sense
organs is coded and transmitted
to the central nervous system
to provide a basis for action.
Kqually exciting and interesting
things are going on in chem
istry and in physics and we an
ticipate that the Institute of
Theoretical Science which will
begin its operations next year
will become a center for work
in theoretical physics, chemis
try, and possibly biology.
I think that we are at a be
ginning era of development in
Oregon, in which our science de
partments will take their places
with the best In the world, If
the people of Oregon continue
to support us. Science depart
ments of this caliber will In the
long run bring back to Oregon
an enormous return, both ma
terial and spiritual, on the
small investment which is re
quired for their support.

hundreds of years from now,
digging out this campus. They
would say, “We see, the air was
used by the upper classes to
travel In these flying things.
These big, wide things with the
lines are for those four-wheeled
things of the middle classes.
These hard paths were used by
the serf classes who went by
foot. These funny two-wheeled
things must have belonged to
the proletariat, but how' did
they get from the big, wide
things to the hard paths?"
Gentlemen, let us not leave
these noble scientists in doubt.
Consider the future. Consider
posterity. Consider your own
well-being and peace of mind.
Gentlemen, give us bicycle

Long Senate Meeting
• • •
(Continued tram paqe 1)
I came at the end of the meeting, j
Newly appointed chairman John
Socolofsky, who had been doz-.
j ing in the back of the room,!
j awakened to present a charter |
: which he has described as "de
i fining the relations of the A8UO
; and Greater Oregon.”
THE (TIAKTKK as presented
was amended on a motion by Bill j
Vertrees to give the Senate great
er control In the selection of the
f-hairman. His amendments also;
give the Senate power to ap
prove or disapprove the organ
j 1/.ation's programs.
DOUG GREEK moved that the
Senate reconsider its decision of
the last meeting to approve the ;
Student Union Board's proposal;
to hold a jazz festival in Febru- i
ary. The event was suggested by
Colleen Nelson of the board as
a yearly event.
Speaking in favor of withdraw
ing approval, Tom Herman, jun
ior class president, said that he
feels one reason why the junior
prom lost $1500 to $1800 was
because jazz artist Shelly Manne
and Joanne Sommers were
booked for the concert.
BI D SNODGRASS suggested
that the Senate not act to with
draw approval until it had heard
from representatives of the SU
Board. Schell said that represen
tatives of the board had been
invited to the meeting but had
failed to attend.
After Greer's motion passed.
! Sue Taylor successfully moved
that next year's Senate investi
gate the issue further.

nearly $7,000 for 1061-62, an In
crease of about $3,000 over this

A MOTION" by Steve Hintz that
the ASUO discontinue its annual

defeated.
The budget passed as Schell
presented it, following deletion
of $4u0 for an ASUO handbook.
Schell said that he "sees our
chances as somewhat favorable”
for receiving approval from the
Budget Board for the budget.
