Vi I lard Builders Leave Time Capsule By DAVID BUTLER Feature Editor The Oregon State Seal has rarely been used as a time cap sule. But in 1886. that's exactly how a seal on Villard Hall was used. In early January, 1886, work men hung two carefully-carved State Seals above the east and west entrances to Villard as final touches for the new state Uni versity. For 80 years the seals rotted above the entrances; the Univer sity grew larger, and changes were made in Villard. The University Theatre was added in the 1950's. Under the heavy cement paint on the seals, the wood continued to rot. 80 Years Finally, early fall term this year, University Theatre person nel noticed the seal above the UT addition on the west side of Vil lard was beginning to fall. With vague plans of refinishing the seal and hanging it in the University Pocket Theatre, UT workers and speech instructors took the seal down. It was 80 years to the month from when Club to Support Millrace Project After two and one-quarter hours of discussion, the Metropol itan Civic Club Wednesday sent back to a research committee the proposal that the club support a restoration of the Millrace. The research committee had recommended that Eugene "ac quire, develop, and maintain the lower Millrace as a scenic and recreational attraction.” Because of a club rule against amending a motion, the matter was sent back to the committee, so that the committee could change its recommendation to one which would ask that a com mission be set up to study the feasibility of the proposed Mill race development.

Sealed Bottle By chance. Helm opened up the layered, domed seal. When Helm opened the almost rotten seal in early January, he chanced on a four-inch bottle em bedded in the soft wood. Stuffed with scraps of paper, the sealed bottle had been trapped in the wood for almost a century before it had been accidentally discovered. Instructors in the speech de partment opened the bottle and discovered a collection of notes, newspaper clippings, and names that had been planted by work men in 1886. The papers, now being kept Ferens to Speak At Coffee Hour Robert Ferens will speak and show slides of his visit to West Africa at the International Cof fee Hour at 4 p.m. today in the Y Lounge, Gerlinger Hall.

UT personnel have hung the re stored seal above the stage in the Pocket theatre in a remodel ing project that eventually will center around the seal. Kadlec calls it "American-ViCtorian." The other state seal erected at the same time as the newly-re stored seal is still above the east entrance to Vlllard. The weather, too, has taken Its toll of that sent.

College graduates, new to Ford Motor Company, often comment on the comparative youth of many of our top executives. The example of these men in key positions is evidence that being young is no handicap at Ford to those who possess ability and ambition. In fact, new employes can expect challenging assignments while still partic ipating in our College Graduate Program. This means an opportunity to demonstrate special skills and initiative while still learning the practical, day-to day aspects of the business. Consider the exi>eri ence of Jim Weston, who has been with Ford Motor Company for three years. Jim came to Ford m February, 1963. His first assignment was in marketing analysis where his principal job was evaluating present and potential dealer locations. For a time, he also gained experience in the actual pur chasing of dealer locations. Later, an assignment forecasting sales and market potential with Ford Division’s Truck Sales Programming Depart ment gave him the background he needed to qualify for his present position. His job today? Only three years out of college, Jim is now a senior financial analyst in Ford Division’s Business Management Department. Jim Weston’s experience Is not unusual.
