service probably has had as much influence on my
basic beliefs of how to deal with people and fair play.”
Hawk says. "The service was a very rewarding
experience."
After Hawk’s tenure of service, he returned to
Oregon and began working on his masters and
doctoral degrees When he returned, Hawk says he felt
like he was far from the "provincial Oregonian tie was
when he'd left "I felt that I'd found that mountain and
climbed it "
While he was a graduate student, he was hired as
assistant to the dean of men
Hawk left Eugene for a position at SOSC after
finishing his dissertation. A year later. Hawk had an
offer from the University to come back as director of
admissions. I told them no,' I wasn't a
paper-pusher,” Hawk says
The University then offered Hawk the position of
dean of men and Hawk accepted He says a lot of the
reason he was hired was that there were so many
servicemen back in school who needed to talk with
someone who'd been through the same types of
experiences
"I didn't think I'd have any desire, professionally,
to be dean of men Lo and behold, that's what
eventually happened,” Hawk says
The natural question about Hawk's career seems
to tie why he didn't make it as far as the presidency of
this or any other institution.
At one time I thought I wanted to be president,”
Hawk says He had the opportunity after his Carnegie
Fellowship at the University of Michigan in 1959 He
got another taste of the presidency after Johnson was
killed
I got to thinking, why on earth do I want to get
into a situation where I had to do things that I really
don't care to do." Hawk says
Hawk doesn't regret the decision not to try for the
presidency The president isn t paid that much more,
I have more anonymity," Hawk says Besides, he adds
"I'd had enough plums already . "
Anonymity from the general public does not mean
that students don't know him, or remember him.
Hawk received a letter from a former student who
heard he was retiring Hawk says he still remembers
"vividly," the day he invited the young man into his
office "and suggested he leave the University to get
his academic head screwed on straight.”
The student, heeding Hawk's advice, left the
University and subsequently enrolled in another
school He's now the director of a major medical
society and quite sucessful, Hawk says
"You don't think of those things at the time, but
when flashbacks come to you, then you realize what
you do does make a difference "

Comfortable, Casual
Campus Living
The STUDENT S COOPERATIVE
ASSOCIATION owns and operates two
roomy, comfortable older homes on the
west edge of campus.
SCA has no landlord, no housemother.
We do our own cooking and housework,
and moke our own rules: as few as
possible.
SCA accepts men and women with a
wide variety of cultural backgrounds,
mores, and expectations, and trusts them to
be responsible to one another and to
themselves.
It seems to work. Our grades are
generally high, and our costs are fairly low.
The experience-learning of co-op living is
at least as valuable to us as our classroom
education.
Both SCA houses serve good,
wholesome food to both vegetarian and
omnivorous tastes.
