It may take tw o to tango but it
takes three to train today’s students
for the jobs o f tom orrow. Business
and industry need the help o f public
schools and colleges to do the
train in g necessary to keep things
going in this tim e period o f mush­
rooming high technology— so says
Dr. George Guy.
Fresh fro m a ja u n t across the
campus, George Vance Guy, P h .D .,
Assistand D ean o f the School o f
Education at Portland State Univer­
sity, leans back in his chair. His o f­
fices are in P S U ’ s Professional
Schools building, a handsome struc­
ture in modern architecture to be
completed fully whenever funds are
available. He reviews how his school
o f education is responding to the
challenge o f technology.
“ W e have rem odeled and en­
larged our com puter la b o ra to ry ,*’
Guy said. “ W e have twelve compu­
ters and two word processors. D r.
Harold Jorgensen is offering an in­
troductory computer course.
“ We, in this school are in the pro­
fession o f teaching teachers to
teach. The acquisition o f appropri­
ate hardware and software and tech­
nological expertise made our 1981
report for accreditation a lot easier
to acquire,” Guy said as he eyed an
18-inch high stack o f papers on his
desk. “ That is our multi-volume re­
port. The Education Commission o f
the States, Oregon’s Governor Vic­
tor Atiyeh all support this combina­
tion o f high-technology and higher
education. Our mathematics and sci­
ence departments are above stan­
dard.”
In 1955, George G u y was O re ­
gon’s first black college professor in
a public institution. (He was closely
follo w ed by a black appointee at
Reed college.) D r. Rose Thomas o f
B elm ar, New Jersey, who helped
gain accreditation for P S U ’s newly
established School o f Social W o rk ,
and C. Eric Lincoln, P h .D ., o f Ohio,
came to the campus in the 1960s,
D r. Guy said.
D r. Guy came to Portland by way
o f Indiana University, N . C arolina
A & T college in Greensboro, and a
stretch in the South Pacific as a U.S.
A rm y Tech/Sgt. His higher degree
30 to 35 faculty members to teach
classroom teachers how to teach.
The Special Education department
has 10 faculty members to teach the
specialized teaching needed for the
handicapped learner who is handi­
capped p h ysically,
-en tally o r
visually.
The departm ent o f Special P ro ­
grams comprises schooling for me­
dia librarianship and provides coun­
sellors for schools and agencies. It
also equips school adm inistrators,
such as prin cip als and v ic e -p rin ­
cipals, giving them access to a doc­
to ral program and a post-masters
program.
A part o f D r. G uy’s time is spend
coordinating all accreditation activi­
ties on campus for meeting profes­
sional standards on both state and
national levels. D r. Guy also chairs
the coordinating committee o f doc­
toral programs involving PSU, Ore­
gon State University and University
o f Oregon.
Outside involvement has been ex­
tensive in various state and national
professional associations but cur­
rently his interest and time arc cen­
tered on being secretary treasurer o f
the (national) Society o f Professors
o f Education, an elective position he
has held for six years. This select so­
ciety, formed in 1902, has about 200
members. It meets only in states that
have ra tifie d the E R A , adds D r.
Guy proudly.
D r. G u y and his w ife , C lem en -
tyne, are the parents o f three adult
chidren, Kenneth G u y, Karen Guy
and Kathy Guy.

and Oregon’s famous Rose Festival.
From there on the book becomes
the story o f each ebony high school
princess told as nearly as possible by
each young w om an in her own
words. The im pact, gained collec­
tiv e ly , is im pressive. W e are
privileged to glimpse the depth and
dignity o f these ebony princesses at
the threshhold of their womanhood.
Parade crowds thronging the city
could never know or recognize the
mixed feelings w ithin the hearts o f
these princesses surrounded by
flowers, pageantry and gaiety.
M o rris reveals the feelings. She
presents her story simply and effec­
tively. Illustrations by M ary Libby
are life -lik e drawings o f the p rin ­
cesses taken expertly fro m p h o to ­

drawings by P hilem on Reid from
his “ Black History Series.”
The story o f the Rose Festival it­
self has been left for Michael Jordan
to tell. Jordan, an active Royal Ro-
sarian, acts as Chaplain for the Ros-
arians.

Union Ushers aw ard scholarships
On Sunday, September 26th, the
U n io n Ushers held th e ir A n n u a l
Scholarship Tea. It was very well at­
tended and a most impressive affair.
Vancouver A venue F irst Baptist
Church was the host.
Several years ago various local
churches’ Usher Boards formed the
U n io n Ushers. T h e idea was de­
veloped because o f the need to assist
young people, o f p a rtic ip a tin g
churches, to improve their lives.
Higher education was chosen as
the vehicle through which their ob­
jective could be reached, it was
thought. There had to be a means by
which scholarship donations could
be provided for graduating seniors
who wished to further their educa­
tion.
To finance the idea o f assistance,
it was decided to sponsor an Annual
Scholarship Tea. This effort would
depend on securing a dynamic com­
mittee to spearhead the Union Ush­
ers project.
