Three get service awards The founder of the Oregon Coast Trail, a leader in the mental health field in Oregon and an architect who has helped shape the contemporary face of Washington, D C., will receive distinguished service awards from the University June 13 Samuel Dicken, professor emeritus of geography from Eugene; George Saslow, professor emeritus of psychiatry at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland; and Chloethiel Smith, University alumnus and an architect in Washington, D C., will receive the awards during the Universi ty's 105th commencement June 13 at 2:30 p.m. at Hayward Field The awards, established in 1956, are presented each year to "individuals who, by their knowledge and skill, have made a significant contribution to the cultural development of Oregon or society as a whole." Dicken will be honored for his many efforts on behalf of the Oregon Coast Trail, which began with his dream of a con tinuous 370-mile hiking trail from the Columbia River to the California border. Saslow, recognized as a strong influence in the develop ment of mental health treatment efforts in Oregon over many years, was responsible for founding the psychiatry depart ment at what was then the University Medical School, now part of the Oregon Health Sciences University. He served as chairman of the department from 1957 until 1973. Described as an influential, charismatic teacher, Saslow has been responsible for in novative modes of treatment, including the open ward con cept. He is known nationally and internationally in the field of medical education and mental health. Smith’s architectural achieve ments are noticeable in Washington, D.C.'s, newer buildings. Smith graduated with honors from the University with a bachelor of architecture de gree in 1932, and started her architectural firm in the nation's capital in 1946. Her firm’s principal works in Washington since 1975 include a master plan for the Washing ton Cathedral courtyard, a mas ter plan and design for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, the new YMCA building and expansion of the student union building at Gal laudet College ROTC vote delayed until July The decision whether to offer lower division ROTC courses at Lane Community College has been postponed from the LCC Board of Education's monthly meeting Wednesday to the July 14 meeting, according to Lt. Col Steve Wolfgram, University military science professor. The controversial proposal, suggested by Wolfgram, already has generated a great deal of discussion at the community college Some LCC faculty ar gue that the college cannot reject courses because they do not agree with the subject mat ter, while others say they want no affiliation with the Army and the defense department The student government at LCC has voted not to have any involvement with ROTC. The proposal is to offer the first two years of ROTC courses at both LCC and the University, with community college students coming to the Univer sity to finish the upper division courses. By sending ROTC faculty to LCC. the students there can take advantage of the courses without having to come to the University, Wolfgram says. The additional courses will be taught using the current ROTC faculty, though two new faculty members are being added next year to allow Wolfgram "greater j flexibility to do more things," he ! says.
