Jim Barratt receives OSU Dan Poling award
Former Oregon State Univer
sity (OSU) athletic director
James G. "Jim " Barratt has
been named recipient of the
1995 Dan Poling Alumni Ser
vice Award, given annually by
the OSU Alumni Association.
The award recognizes alum
ni "for exemplary service to the
university” said a press release.
Barratt was to be honored at the
ceremony on Friday, Jan. 26, at
the Corvallis Country Club.
Born and raised on a ranch
near Heppner, Barratt gradu
ated from OSU in 1950 with a
business and technology de
gree. He minored in journal
ism, which led to a stint as
editor of OSU's student news
paper in 1949.
In 1950, Barratt joined the
staff of the OSU Alumni
Association as an assistant di
rector and editor of The Oregon
Stater, the association's alum
ni publication.
In 1952, he became business
and ticket manager for athletics
at OSU, a position he held un
til 1965. When athletic director
and basketball coach Slats Gill
died that year, Barratt was ap
pointed athletic director.
During Barratt's 10 years as
athletic director, OSU ex
perienced success in many
sports. In addition to a winn
ing football program, Olympic
track athlete Dick Fosbury in
vented his "Fosbury Hop"
high jump technique while a

student-athlete under Barratt.
It was also Barratt who reach
ed into the Midwest to hire a
basketball coach who many
people thought was too old to
be competitive. His name was
Ralph Miller and he went on to
become a Hall of Fame coach.
In 1975, Barratt left OSU to
become part owner of Away
Travel. The business was sold
in 1984, but he established Jim
Barratt Tours and became part
owner of Fly Away Travel in
Roseburg.
In 1985, Barratt was named to
the Athletic Directors Hall of
Fame.
Barratt's service to OSU is ex
tensive, officials say, and is
highlighted by his involvement
with the Beaver Club and the
many contributions he and wife
Dorotha made to Oregon State
athletics over the years, par
ticularly women's gymnastics.
Barratt also served for 20
years as the executive director
of the Far West Classic basket
ball tournament, a job he con
tinued after his retirement.
He is the eighth recipient of
the Poling Award, named in
honor of Dan W. Poling, an
OSU alum who served as facul
ty member and campus ad
m inistrator at OSU from
1937-72.
