Oregon Golfers Nab Two Wins On*Ron golfers nabbed a pair of victories Wednesday at the Eugene Country Club against vis iting teams from Idaho and Gon zaga Universities. The Ducks defeated Idaho by a 12*i-5V4 score and Gonzaga by a 13Vi -4Vi count. The Vandals tied Goii/.aga in the other dual mutch, 99 Mike and Gay Davis, both of Oregon, shot 74s on the par-72 course and finished as co med alists. Other Webfoot results were Ralph Schafer 77, Bill Ward and Carvel Nelson 79, and Boh I.ovejoy 84. Track... (Continued from pat/e 4) sports editor Jerry Claussen: “tlio.se three (Hailey, Dellinger, Reiser) put their names in the record hook practically every time they ran this season. They broke 12 meet records and tied two more . . . plus the ND. PCC, and Hayward Field records. At the PCC meet, Reiser ran the best collegiate two mile in the nation that season (9:02.6) and tied the 16-yearold NCAA record in addition to setting a meet, school and Hayward Field record. Dellinger also set new marks In the latter three categories by taking the mile in 409 Bailey had less competition and won the 880 in 1:52— a distance in which he was called "the greatest com petitor west of the Mississippi.” Hailey Beats Dellinger That summer in the NCAA meet. Reiser won the two-mile and Bailey upset Dellinger and UCLA’s Bob Seaman to win the mile in 4:059 The following week in the PCC Big 10 meet, Dellinger ran the best mile in Webfoot history (4 04 (1) but lost out in a stretch battle to Seaman A yew* later in the 1996 PCC meet, Bailey clipped off a 56(5 last lap to edge UCLA's Seaman and took the mile in 4.06. Del linger, meanwhile, won the two mile m the “respectable" time oi 9.05 But more was still to come That summer, despite a pain fill sideache, Dellinger set a new American 5,000 meters record (14.26) in the Olympic trials and won a ticket to Melbourne. Big News Bailey But the big news that year was not Bill Dellinger. It was Bailey. On May 4, 1956 in Los Angeles Coliseum, he stunned the track world with a shocking upset of world record-holder and fellow Australian John Landy. His time of 3:56.3 made him the second fastest miler (next to Landy) of all time. However, about the time Oregon track fans were getting used to talking about and championing Bailey and Dellinger, along comes a promising sophomore named Jim Urelle. In his three years with Ore gon the still-active Grella won an NCAA championship in the mile in 1959 but never did dip under four minutes. But since his grad uation, Grelle has run more sub four minute miles than any other person in history. When Grelle was still a soph omore, however, Eugene-area cin der buffs were talking about yet another sensation—a 16 year-old blend of grace and speed from Cottage Grove, Ore., Dyrol Burle son. Editor’s Note: This is the first of two part series on the history of Oregon distance-run ning. The concluding part will appear tomorrow. Porter Publishes An article by Kenneth W. Por ter, professor of history it the University, will be included in a volume that will be published this summer by Dorsey Press. Porter’s “Negroes and the Semi nole War, 1835-1842,” from The Journal of Southern History, will appear in a hook of essays, "The Age of Civil War and Reconstruc tion, 1830-1900,” edited by Charles Crow of the University of Geor gia. Dating Service Begins Operations By MAXINE EIXIOTT Attodatr Editor Art Lhlkletter started it all when he introduced a couple matched by Uni vac on hi.s old TV program, "People Are Fun ny."Since then, everybody's been getting into the act, including sev eral hundred thousand college students. It's called "Operation Match," and it’s the oldest and the larg est of the computer dating serv ices. The brainchild of Jeff Tarr, senior at Harvard, "Operation Match" was a project involved in writing his senior thesis. After watching it operate for a year, Ta.r had plenty of information when his thesis was due April 1. Now at University "Operation Match" has since spread to about 500 campuses na tionwide, and it arrived at the University this week. Skip Clem ens and Jim IJotten are coordi nating the project on this cam pus. Clemens and Dotten received 13,000 questionnaires this week —they're also co-ordinating "Op eration Match” at Oregon State —and hope to have them all placed by the middle of next week. "We know everyone who gets one won't send it in, but we’ve had a terriffic response so far," Clemens said Wednesday. "So far Jim and I have placed about 000 questionnaires more or less se lectively with students we're sure will participate, and we hope to have the campus blanketed by next week." OSU, Too “We're going up to Corvallis Friday and take 5,500 question naires along," Dotten interjected. “We hope that most of them will be returned within a week or so so that the first run will be a good one," Clemens added, "Actually, it's to the student's advantage to get their questionnaire in early, ra ther than wait for a so called good run' After the question naire is run initially, it will go into memory tape and the infor mation will remain in the ma chine for two months. When good mutual matches occur, the names will go out even though the per son whose questionnaire was in first will have already gotten his guaranteed matches." How It Works How it works is simple. The student obtains a questionnaire at no charge from Clemens or Dotten, completes it, and mails it to Compatibility Research, Inc. at their offices in Cambridge, Mass. The questionnaire is then fed into an IBM 7090 computer, and within two weeks (“prob ably in nine or ten days,” Dotten Friday Last Day To Add, Drop Friday is the last day to drop or add courses for spring term. The fee of $1.00 for each course dropped or added must be paid in the Business Office and the course-change card filed in the Registrar’s Office before 5 p.m. on Friday, April 15. Students new to the Univer sity this term may drop courses through April 29, with the con sent of their adviser and in structor. TODAYS STAFF Night Editor: Phil Semas. Desk Editor: Chris Florea.

I says) the student receives a list j of at least five persons in his area whose interests match his. “The beauty of ‘Operation Match' is that all couples are dou ble-matched,” Clemens said. “By this I mean that each person an swers the questions for himself, then goes through and answers them for his ideal date. This way, a fellow won’t get a girl who matches his description of what he wants and not what she wants.” 105 Questions The questionnaire contains 105 questions dealing with such ab solute factors as age, race, reli gious background, height, weight, etc.; interests; attitudes dealing with religion, marriage and sex; area; and general information dealing with income, academic record, College Board scores, ma jor, etc. But the real meat of the ques tionnaire lies in its situation sec tion. Here the respondent is ask ed to gauge his responses to sit uations he might encounter, usu ally on a scale of one-to-five. Several of the sections are han dled on the one-to-five basis. In any instance where the student doesn't care one way or the oth er, he can simply mark ‘O’ (this most frequently comes up regard ing certain aspects of personal appearance). Checking Asked what good it does the girl to receive a list of “perfect men” since she probably can’t do Campus Briefs Announcement* for Campus Briefs must be turned in by 3 30 p m. the day before publication.

"Some dates might end up being just a coke date and no more, but there’s always the chance—” Couples introduced through the computer have been known to fall in love and marry. Scores of engaged couples have sent in questionnaires; in some cases the computer hasn't matched them, in other instances it has. Thrown Over One particularly interesting case involved David DcWan, a Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology student who founded a New England computer dating service called Contact, then pro ceded to subject both himself and his girl friend to the com puter. They were matched by the computer, but his girl, a Welles ley student, threw DeWan over for another name on her list. The computer has been known to goof, but when it does, it usually docs it royally. An extra ordinarily compatible Cornell man got back a Lsit of 264 names —150 of whom were Wellesley students. He later reported that he had no trouble finding enter tainment when he traveled to Wellesley for a weekend. According to Dotten, University students who apply will be match ed with students from the Uni versity and from Oregon State. Advantage in Size Asked how “Operation Match” differs from locally-based compu ter dating services, Clemens said that its main advantage lies in its size. “We think we can pro duce better matches because we can have larger runs,” Clem ens said. “Also, suppose you’re going to the University but will be liv ing in Peoria or Denver, or just about any college town this sum mer. You can send in two ques tionnaires: one for the school year, another for the area you’ll be living in during the summer. Local services can’t ofTer this.” \ "Operation Match’s” founder; and most enthusiastic supporter, j Tarr, said recently, “People who ; attack "Operation Match” usual FOX-EVERGREENS cDONALD *0»l WHI0^w !• Si - J4« »J«J Open 6:30 " "THE CHASE BLOWS THE LID OFF OF A SNAKE PIT OF EVIL!"—Time Magazine MARLON BRANDO in Sam Spiegel's “THE CHASE” Technicolor ALSO STARRING Jane Fonda, Martha Hyer, Angie Dickinson, James Fox PLUS COLOR CO-HIT ly complain that we take the ro mance out of dating,” he assert ed. ‘‘What they forget is that there is a certain amount of ra tionality involved under any cir cumstances.

We’re simply trying to take some of the blind ness out of blind dating and, par ticularly, we’re trying to help in dividuals counter 'zoo group’ pressures on big ‘zoo group’ cam puses.” Succeeding Elsewhere Reports from other campuses indicate it’s succeeding, and Clem ens and Dotten are sure it will here. Questionnaires will be avail able next week through the living organizations, or by writing: Skip Clemens, UO Student Union, Eu gene. Dotten warned students who received their applications by mail direct from the East to check to see that Eugene-Corvallis, Ore., is on the area code list. He indi cated that persons finding Seat tle as the closest area code point should substitute code number 92 on the questionnaire for questions 74 and and should NOT use code number 91, which is the Seattle code. Dotten said that because he wasn’t aware of the mix-up ear lier, applications marked incor rectly would have to be put in with the Seattle run. However, he said that the company would ‘make good” any such errors and would pull the lists being sent to students in the Eugene area. He said that their money would be refunded and that they could re-submit a correct questionnaire later. He cautioned, however, that they wait to do this until their money has already been re funded. £uceii£ II Clflfttao BFf (IIMUI tivs uciat j-j s*>i«c#»iiB P RIVE-IN Open 7 p.m. Big triple feature!
