year, said Naff, arid last year Jap
an and the Kastern world cele
brated the six hundredth anniver
sary of Ziemoa’s birth.
2000 Plays Written
“There have been about 2000
plays written for the Noh Thca
tre," said Naff, “but only about
240 of the original number are
still being performed.’’ Naff read
passages from two of the “surviv
ors”—"Hagoromo” and “Atsumo
ri”— during his lecture.
Typical Noh dramas are non
verbal, according to Naff "The
Japanese actors feel that words
can only get between man and
the truth," he said. "They elimi
nate all the non-essentials and
there is little ornamentation on
stage and costumes,” stated Naff
On-Stage Costume Changes
The Noh Theater has universal
appeal, added Naff, "and it is
both vigorous and alive.” A
unique feature of the Noh Thea
ter is the practice of on-stage cos
tume changes, stated Naff.

Industry Needs Qualified
Managers Lecturer Says
By RONALD COLEMAN
Emerald Staff Writer
"Managers are the most valu
able single asset of modern in
dustry,” Darrol Pennington, a
general manager of Tektronix,
Inc , of Portland told the Business
Policies class Wednesday.
His speech was part of a pro
gram in which guest speakers ap
pear in classes to present some of
their ideas and experiences in
specific fields.
Pennington has been with Tek
tronix since 1951. He received his
Ph.D. from the University of
Texas, and was an assistant pro-1
fessor of business at the Univer
sity before joining the electronics
firm.
Enjoying his "captive audi
ence,” Pennington stated that he
was “a for-real manager,” and
(the class) could benefit from his
ten years of managerial experi
ences in the industry.
Then Pennington launched en
thusiastically into his outlined
speech on the nature, qualifica- i
tions and training necessary for
successful executives.
Four essentials of good man

attraction by the Student Union Board. They sang primarily folk songs.
agement were listed by Penning
ton.
• First and most important is
the economic direction and goal
of business: “the creator of mod
ern wealth."
• Second, management is the
directing and utilizing people—
"the human resource.”
• Third, management deals
continually in the area of “con
stant tension, conflict, and risk of
decisions.”
• Fourth, time dominates
every action and decision—"now
is always the important moment,
not tomorrow."
According to Pennington suc
cessful managers must have cer
tain personality traits. These are
developed by the individual life
time and cannot be taught in
schools, he said. The five most
important are integrity, maturity,
enthusiasm, dissatisfaction and
style.
Integrity is a must because the
executive holds a high place of
trust and responsibility, he said.
Maturity is "the willingness to
accept responsibility for self and
others."
Enthusiasm Defined
Enthusiasm, he defined as the
confidence and faith to find solu
tions in the "face of getting con
tinually knocked down ” Dissatis
faction and style is the "searching
and finding a better way in your
own particular manner."
The training of future manag
ers involves the actual process of
managing. Pennington compared
it to learning to ski, "you learn
by continually falling down and
getting up again ” This kind of
teaching by itself is too expen
sive, he said. Therefore, the train
ing in skills and knowledge at
universities is necessary.
Pennington separated the edu
cation of the manager into three
