Toelken receives ‘gifted’ award
Barre Toelken, University professor of English, has been selected
as one of 12 recipients of the 1972 E. Harris Harbison Award for Gifted
Teaching, sponsored by the Danforth Foundation in St. Louis.
As a winner of the Award, Toelken received a $10,000 grant to be
used at his discretion in the furtherance of his academic career and
interests.
The awards were presented last week at a Danforth national
educational conference in Estes Park, Colo.
Winners of the E. Harris Harbison Awards are chosen annually by
panels of educators who make their selections from nominations
submitted by colleagues, students, past award winners, and college
and university presidents. To be eligible for a Harbison Award, the
candidate must be teaching in an accredited college, junior college or
university in the United States and have served as fulltime faculty for
at least five years.
Merrimon Cuninggim, Danforth Foundation president, noted that
this year’s Award winners had been characterized by others during
the selection process as: “possessing a mixture of integrity, humility,
sound scholarly achievement, and deeply felt concern for his fellow
creatures,” “a genuine listener,” “supremely ethical and remarkably
genial,” “having the ability to communicate enthusiasm for his
subject along with its essence,” and “an uncompromising honesty
which encourages honesty from his students.”

Merrell wins speech award
Sally Jean Merrell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Merrell of
Eugene, and a University of Oregon graduation senior, is the 1972
winner of the University’s Espy Award in speech.
The award was established in 1957 by Cecil J. Espy, Sr. of
Portland, in memory of his son, Cecil J. Espy, Jr., a 1933 U of 0
graduate, who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, was
captured by the enemy and died in a Japanese prison camp in 1945.
This year’s Espy winner began debating during her senior year at
South Eugene High School. Merrell earned several awards in speech
during her undergraduate years at the University, including out
standing symposium speaker, most improved speaker and most
distinguished service awards.
Director named for televised instruction
James Carroll, instructor of speech at the University, has been
assigned administrative responsibility for Televised Instruction, a
unit of the University’s Division of Broadcast Services and Televised
Instruction.
John Shepherd, director of the Division, in announcing the
assignment, said that Carroll will organize and coordinate the in
structional television unit of the Division and integrate the work with
specific courses offered in broadcast communications.
Whenever possible, other disciplines such as special education
and art education will be involved in the activities, Shepherd said.
Carroll, as director of Televised Instruction for the Division of
Broadcast Services, will be working with faculty in all University
disciplines to create and develop new and innovative approaches to
the use of television in instruction. ^
A member of the University faculty since 1969, Carroll is
graduate of Michigan State University, where he also received his
master's degree.

Council reviews Mall regulations
The Eugene City Council will hold its weekly Committee-of-the
Whole meeting in the Empire Room of the Eugene Hotel at noon today.
The informal discussion sessions are presided overby Mayor Les
Anderson and this week will consider several items, induing the
proposed ordinances regulating activities in the Mall.
The Committee’s informal meetings serve an advisory capacity
and any action taken is not official until reviewed and passed by the
City Council in one of its formal Monday night meetings.
The Mall regulations stem from an administrative hearing held on
July 17 and correspondence received at City Hall since the hearing.
The City has never had an ordinance governing the Mall. There have
been regulations in the past, but these were legally difficult to enforce,
according to City Manager Hugh McKinley
The proposed ordinances call for such things as no dogs in the
Mall, except as guide dogs or unless they are caged; no dances,
soliciting, fund raising, or commercial pursuits unless a permit
been acquired; the regulations will also specify how a permit may^P
obtained.
The Committee-of-The-Whole meetings are open to the public and
lunch is served to those who wish to buy it.
Traffic safety program initiated
Governor Tom McCall said Monday that Oregon motorists will be
asked to participate in the “Lights on for Safety” program, initiated
by Pacific Northwest Bell, Pacific Power and Light, Portland General
Electric and Northwest Natural Gas to reduce trafic accidents.
McCall said that state employees and the employees of the four
utilities will drive with their lights on during the entire month of
September Auto headlights will be on during both daylight and
evening hours in state and company cars.
The "Lights on for Safety" program comes as a result of the rising
toll of trafic accidents on the highways according to McCall. Through
July, 422 persons have died in Oregon traffic accidents, an increase of
60 over the first seven months of 1971.
Toll free phones to be put in service
Sen Mark Hatfield said today that toll-free telephone numbers
which veterans may use to reach the Veterans Administration office in
Portland will be placed in service September 6.
He said that the WATS (wide area telephone service) number 1
800-452-7276 may be dialed from any Oregon community.
Veterans in the Salem area will be able to dial directly 581-9343.
while those in the Eugene-Springfield area will reach the Portland
office without toll charges by dialing 342-8274
Hatfield said that trained VA personnel will respond during
business hours
This free service will be a major step in eliminating red tape and
will be of great aid to veterans of past conflicts, but will ue par
ticularly valuable to veterans of Vietnam serv ice who have an entirely
new set of problems," Hatfield said
"l-atest estimate is that there are some 326.000 veterans now in
Oregon, with approximately 67,000 of them of the Vietnam war era."
Hatfield said
