Unparalleled Opportunity in Engineering
Last week was National Engineers Week. A talk by Dean
George Glecson of the School of Engineering at Oregon State
University for a Dean's Meeting at Dad's Week-end Saturday
was only coincidental to the national observance, but It was
entirely appropriate and significant
Unparalleled opportunity exists in the field of engineering,
the dean said, and cited facts to prove it. For the youth with
aptitude, ability and desire to enter the field are possibilities
tor a future that will stir the imagination.
The nution needs an engineering output oi 62,000 persons
with college degrees of various kinds this year, the dean said.
Of all those wlio graduate in the field, 14 per cent for one
reason or another will go into some other vocation or profession,
so another 10,000 should be added to the 62,000.
Colleges across the nation can only produce some 40,000
engineers, thus leaving a deficit of 32,000. Large companies
are panicked by the inability to obtain quality personnel for
their positions, the dean said. He displayed a copy of the Los
Angeles Mirror that had five columns of "Help Wanted" ads
for all other vocations and professions but 14 solid pages of ads
seeking engineers!
It Is not Infrequent that one company will ask for OSU's
entire output of engineers.
Literature put out by many firms almo,: literally cry for
trained engineers.
These conditions are partially due to rapid scientific and
technological advancements.
'There Is broad opportunity to engage In things that haven't
yet been named," the dean said. In this rapidly-moving world,
a new machine is often obsolete before it Is even fully developed.
Another acute and significant factor for students of the
present generation is an oddity of our population growth. In the
years 190-75, population of those in the 19 to 35 age bracket shall
have increased 41 over what it is today. In the bracket of 45
years and over, it shuli have increased 33 over the present
However, in the bracket of 35 to 45, the population shall actually
decline 17o in the years 1970-75.
It is In tliis latter age group that a person is at his peak.
Nobel prize winners come from this age group. Yet a tremendous
bottleneck lor manpower is on the way in this age level, and
the nation will face a terrific problem for prime manpower
at that time.
However, for the one fortunate enough to be of the right
age and ready, comes the unparalleled opportunity.
Are standards of the engineering school being diminished
to turn out more graduates? Not at ail, says Dean Gleeson.
There is a need only for quality personnel, and the student must
surmount the difficulties of a tough curriculum to benefit by
the circumstances which present themselves to him. At OSU
emphasis is now put on a mure basic program than beore,
towards making the individual more flexible and adaptable,
but the degree of difficulty is no less than ever.
By Inference, the talk is a challenge to secondary education
to offer the type of curricula that will give an adequate back
ground for the opportunities that await those qualified to accept
them. It Is a challenge to keep students working to capacity, and
is a charge to the student to make the most of his talents and
abilities. To those with fortitude and capacity for learning is
offered the real possibility of not only great personal success
but the chance of making significant contributions to their
country.
It must go without saying that similar opportunities exist
in other fields, especially in the science realm, as never before.
A sincere young man or woman with purpose and the ability
to implement that purpose can carve a wonderful future today.

Golf Moves Ahead in Heppner
As far back as March, 1457, the Scotch attempted to stamp
out golf when parliament passed a decree forbidding it and
providing for paying attention to the more important pursuit
of archery. In 1491 another angry fulmination included both
football and golf: "Futeball and Golfe forbidden. Item, it is a
statut and ordainit that in na place of the realme three be
uslt futeball, golfe or uther sik unprofitabill sportis."
But parliament didn't reckon with the zeal of the golfer. One
who is bitten by the "pasture pool" bug is not to be stopped
by mere decree. For the golfer is irrepressible and cannot be
denied.
The sport came to the United States in the 1700's but was
not in continuous play until after 1887. By 1895, 50 clubs were
operating, and in 1930, the number of courses had grown to
5,691. As of 1941, the country had some 2,600,000 golfers. Today
it has become one of the most popular of individual sports,
although the rather ribald jokes aimed at golfers still persist.
There Is something about'"gctting out and swinging a stick"
that gets to a person. The challenge is principally the com
petition that the golfer feels within himself towards himself.
If he tries to take a shortcut on form, he defeats himself. If he
doesn't concentrate, his score soars. If he gets angry, he's lost.
Oh, there is the matter of getting out in the pure fresh air
and enjoying Old Mother Nature. It is also true that one must
relax to play at all well, and if he is relaxed, he has momentarily
forgotten some of his troubles.
A growing band of Heppnerltes and Morrow county people
have experienced this game, which probably got its earliest
start on the ice in Holland, although Scotland is popularly
given the credit (or blame) for its inception.
The Willow Creek Club took a big step forward recently
when it purchased the local 9 hole course after having rented
it for six years. The members have plans for developing it, and
through this interest, the sport is destined to become increas
ingly popular here. Golf courses in cities are swamped with
players. Appointments must be made for starting times well
in advance. Fortunately that time is far in the future here.
But development of this recreational facility, despite what
any scoffer might say, is important. It adds another pleasurable
activity that makes Heppner and vicinity an attractive place
to live. The Chamber of Commerce Is considering some financial
support, and other groups and individuals well might follow
suit
Individuals may help by joining the club, if they don't fear
the bite of the golf bug. There is a lot of fun awaiting them on
the green pastures!
