I Selecting historic figures intrigues professor
By JANE LEHMAN
Of the Emerald
There may be something to the
taunt, “It takes one to know one,”
at least in the case of Esther
Matthews, a University professor
of education counseling.
No slur is intended, however.
Matthews, a noted educator in her
own right, helps select historic fig
ures for induction into the Hall of
Fame of Great Americans.
These Hall of Famers have
made a discernable contribution
to society through their achieve
ments, according to Matthews.
“So their fame is evident,” she ex
plains, "a person has to be dead
for 25 years before we even nomi
nate him.”
Every three years during her
12-year term, Matthews pours
through biographical material
submitted on potential inductees,
as well as a lot of letters campaign
ing in behalf on persons being
considered. As a former history
teacher, Matthews says she en
joys the task of sifting through the
information.
Matthews is no stranger to the
world of the renowed. During her
career she has been named as an
“Outstanding Educator of
America.” She can also be found
listed in the pages of London’s
“World Who’s Who,” “Who’s Who
of American Women” and “Who’s
Who in the West.”
Although Matthews modestly
claims it’s “still a great mystery to
me” how she gained these rec
ognitions, she is well known for
her work in the career guidance
field.
A past president of the National
Vocational Guidance Association,
Busin
(Continued from Page 1)
the LTD bus service area, a per
son with 12 years of schooling and
three more years of higher educa
tion should have the reasoning
capacity to whip out the rally in
about two-and-a-half hours.
A ninth grader from Kelly Young
Junior High School, Hal Hickman,
won in 3:19. He didn't do any sig
nificant planning before hand,
such as checking timetables and
route schedules and only entered
to avoid doing some household
chores.
The intelligent, bright, resource
ful college junior with 15 years of
schooling, who spent a full hour of
preparation, checking timetables
and route schedules, finished in
4:24. Ninth place out of 12 finish
ing entrants.
At the beginning of the rally I
thought I might even pull off the
first prize. The first hour of the rally
went smoothly as I hit two quick
checkpoints, one at 29th Avenue
and Willamette Street and the
other at 19th Avenue and Moss
Street, and figured mathemati
cally the next three might take an
hour and a half — at the outside
another two hours. That would be
three hours total and I could col
lect the first prize and dump my
own overweight five-speed
Schwinn.
Unfortunately, as I was return
ing on bus 120 from the second
checkpoint, the bus driver pointed
out a small flaw in my plans.
I told him I planned to take
Route 7 from 19th Avenue and
Pearl Street to Lane Community
College (LCC), the third check
point.
“Oh, didn’t you know,” the bus
driver said, “Route 7 doesn’t run
on Saturday, only Route 7C at
1:30 p.m.”
“What?” I asked incredulously,
noting that my watch said 11:30
a.m., which meant the bus driver
had to be making a joke — and a
very bad one at that.
"Didn’t you see the asterisk?”
the bus driver queried.
“What?"
“.. .At the bottom of the page.”
Another cry of “what?” would
have been somewhat redundant,
but I said it anyway. The truth
seemed to filter in new. The bus
driver wasn’t joking, and it looked
like I’d spend a few more years
with my overweight Schwinn.
That feeling psychologists call
“really stupid” slowly crept in. It’s
like reading cooking instructions
for sweet and sour pineapples that
say to drain the pineapple chunks
from the rest of the juice, and
nonchalantly tossing the juice
away, while reading further down
the instructions, “Retain pineap
ple juice for sweet and sour
sauce.” Really stupid.
Needless to say this put a crimp
into my tight schedule. My mind
tossed around a few alternative
suggestions like, “Go home.”
“Quit while you're ahead,” and
“Tell the editor the rally was can
celed." But undaunted, I decided
to stick it out.
Six transfers later I had racked
up the three remaining check
points, LCC, 17th Avenue and
Mohawk Street and KBDF radio
station and finally dragged my
weary derriere in at 3:03 in the
afternoon.
Although the “I never want to
see another bus again” feeling
was evident in a couple of people,
and even though only 12 persons
finished, both KBDF and LTD be
lieved the rally to be a success.
"Our whole goal was to encour
age conservation awareness and
I think we accomplished that,”
said Tina Sherbet, KBDF promo
tions director.
"We’ve been doing quite a bit in
conservation and its nice to get
some recognition,” she said.
Boss aided, "It wasn’t like a
walk-a-thon doing it in behalf of
someone else. This was just a fun
thing to do and give people a bet
ter working knowledge of transit.”
Matthews describes her life’s
work as “the whole business of
trying to help people find fields
and occupations that ideally meet
their interests.”
“It involves more than just their
work,” she continues. “It’s every
thing about people—their values,
their way of life — and how they fit
together.”
Matthews feels the hall of fame
concept is “kind of a neat way to
show what American culture val
ues.” It is the original honors in
stitution that inspired the other
300 halls of fame, from baseball to
football.
Matthews joins the impressive
company that decide the Famers,
such as politician Hubert Hum
phrey, anthropologist Margaret
Mead and singer Marianne An
derson. Three electors from each
state and district of the union —
159— make up the prestigious
panel.
Once a candidate is admitted, an
American sculptor of equally high
caliber is commissioned to create
a bust of the person, says Matth
ews. This figure is then put on dis
play at the Hall of Fame, located
on the campus of Bronx Commun
ity College of City University in
New York.
A ceremony is also held to
commemorate the person’s work,
such as a concert or lecture held at
the Kennedy Center, she says.
Matthews is intrigued by the im
pact this work has had on her.
“It really gives you a chance to
ponder your own definition of
greatness,” she said. “I value the
experience.”
