be a good citizen in its com
munity. Besides educating peo
ple it should enhance the
cultural and economic climates
of the area.
He views his job as an attempt
to get the most out of a limited
number of resources and. when
possible, to increase those
resources.
“In essence the job is a
teaching job,” he says. “That
is, it is a way of helping people
to do more than they could do
by themselves.”
As a teacher “I’m being paid
to say, ‘I think you can do better
than you think you can do, and
here is how you can do better.’
As an administrator I’m saying,
‘Here’s how we can do better.
“For me, administration is
essentially creating a sense of
community by having people
create a whole that is larger than
the sum of its parts, so people
are empowered more by their af
filiation than they are simply by
being alone,” he explains.
He says one way he tries to
achieve this is by seeking ad
vice and information from
faculty, administrators and peo
ple affected by his decisions. He
admits that he rarely makes a
decision based soley on his own
knowledge and opinions, and
when he does it is based on his
years of experience in making
similar decisions.
Besides his experience as an
educator and administrator,
Hersh spent 12 years as a coxs
wain in international rowing
competition and coached row
ing at Harvard and in the 1968
Olympics. He says he ap
preciates the value of competi
tion in life if it is kept in
perspective.

of exchange
This fall, eight University
students and one professor will
inaugurate the Oregon State
System of Higher Education’s
first exchange program with
China. A total of 15 students
statewide were accepted out of
25 applicants.
The participants will live in
the American student housing
of the Beijing Foreign
Languages Institute in China's
capital city. China Educational
Tours, co-sponsors of the pro
gram, state that the dormitories
and classrooms are spartan in
comparison to American
campuses.
The curriculum will be in
tense and diversified, offering
several field trips a week in ad
dition to normal class periods.

tant (about competing) is it
changes youf standards.... By
competing or by aiming for a
standard and then reaching it,
you find out about standards
and about yourself. And you
say, now that I’ve done that,
what can I do next? What is the
next challenge?”
For Hersh the continuing
challenge is to help make the
University a better institution.
He intends to urge the
legislature to increase state
financial support to ‘‘have
justice done to the quality in
stitution that we are.”
As far as his personal goals,
Hersh isn’t sure where he’ll be
in a few years. He would like
someday to head a major
university, he says, but the fac
tors that would enable him to do
that are not entirely in his con
trol. Other notions that have
crossed his mind are heading a
government agency or working
in industry.
But he is quick to admit that
he might feel out of place in
those areas. “It is really more
fun to work with people
oriented organizations where
your product is essentially
enhancing people,” he says.
“There is something energizing
about the morality of that.”
When he’s not asking Salem,
Washington, or industry for
financial help; reviewing
research proposals; or attending
to the other nuances of his
metier, Hersh pursues a variety
of leisure activities. He has
traveled extensively throughout
the world, including Australia,
Nepal, India and the Soviet
Union. He also takes pride and
pleasure in his talent for
photographic composition.
For three weeks in September
he will be blending those ac
tivities with business as he
tours China and Japan with the
Society for Research in Child
Development.
