(UP1 Telephoto) Record Number of OSC Graduates Are Placed in Positions Corvallis - A record num ber of Oregon State college graduates were placed in teaching positions this fall by the college's teacher place ment office, but the call for teachers continues to increase at an even faster rate than the supply. 1 . In her report for the year, Mrs. Kathryn Smith, director of the teacher placement of fice, noted that opportunities for careers in teaching are unusually good now - and for a long time to come - for "well - prepared" graduates. She stressed the "well -prepared" aspect. More than 7,000 requests for teachers were received at OSC during each of the past two years, Mrs. Smith said. This fall, she helped place 296 June graduates in their first teaching job. Another 196 graduates of past years were placed in. new and bet ter teaching spots, some in administration. More than ever before were also placed in college teaching jobs. Starting Salaries Beginning salaries for the new teachers averaged about $4,200 to $4,600, a slight in crease over a year ago, and raneed up to $5,900.

It is lm peratlve, she staled, that teacher candidates for nigh school positions be able to teach in two or more subject fields.

(Scientific American Feature) - Those who view the current rate of increase in world population.' with horrified concern may derive some comfort from the fact that the present "popula tion explosion" is not unique in history. Recent studies by Edward S. Deevey Jr., direc tor of the Geochronometric laboratory at Yale university, has found clear evidence that man has survived at least two prior "explosions." Before accepting the Im plications of the current pop ulation explosion," says, Sr. Deevey, "it is well to set the present in the context of the record of earlier populations. As will be seen, the popula tion curve has moved upward stepwise in response to the three major cultural revolu tions. The tool-using and tool making revolution was the first. It started the growth of the human stem from the pri mate line. The advantage con ferred on man by tools gave the food-gatherer and hunter access to the widest range of environments and his numbers increased accordingly. No where did population density become excessive but, over the earth as a whole, it leveled off at the not insignificant total of about five million, an average of .04 person per square kilometer of. land. Became Food Provider After some millennia man became a food producer. He learned to farm. With this ag ricultural revolution the pop ulation moved up two orders of magnitude to a new pla teau,, multiplying 100 times in ' the short span of 8,000 years, to an average of one person per square kilometer. Here the population sta bilized - but over the past 300 years the further multiplica tion by five plainly reflects the first repercussions of the scientific - industrial revolu tion. There are now 16.4 per sons per square kilometer of the earth's land area. "Explosions are ' not made by force alone, but by force that exceeds restraint. The re lease of such restraint, by technological innovation, is mirrored in the three epochs of cultural history.' But the evolution of population size also indicates the approach to equilibrium in the two inter revolutionary periods of the past. At. what level will the present surge reach equilibri um? This is "again a question of restraint, whether it is to be imposed by the limitations of man's new command over his environment or over his own nature. Disease! Mom Virulent "Two kinds of check appear to limit the size of a popula tion. One, obviously, is the environment. It sets the upper limit to the amount of avail able space, food and other needed resources. The other is the limitation imposed by the population itself. As num bers rise infectious diseases spread faster or become more virulent. Pestilence asserts it self, the risk of war increases. These belong to the 'natural devices' cited by Thomas Mal thus for imposing self-limitation on population size. So, too, does man's 'moral re straint' or voluntary birth con trol. Experiments with ani mals disclose still other re straints, notably those stem ming from personality de Business Too Brisk At Church Auction Cockeysville, Md.-Business was really brisk at a church auction in the community health center. The auctioneer ' not only sold the old lamps and other objects donated by church members, she accidentally dis nosed of a box of toys left there for children visiting the center to play with.

In mentioning this I am not implying that the current human population explosion will be contained by cannibal ism or any power so naked. I simply suggest that verte brates have that power wheth er they want it or not. There is a neater device that men can use: rational, voluntary control over numbers. I fur ther suggest that if the human method of adjusting numbers to resources fails to work in the next 1,000 years, as it has in the last million, sub-human methods are ready to take over." Public Domain Produces Some S371 Million in Fiscal 1960 The public domain, man aged by the bureau of land management of the depart- duced revenues to the United States treasury of more than $371 million during fiscal year 1960, Secretary Fred A. Seaton has announced. This is an all-time record for any one year. . Revenues during 1960 also included the two billionth dollar in public land receipts as the grand total of ail-time revenues since 1785 climbed Id more than S2V4 billion. More than half of the $2Vi billion came in during the last eight years, Secretary Seaton said, as the result of greatly expanded conserva tion and development pro grams by the bureau of the department. During the same year that BLM took in $371 million, Congressional appropriations to BLM amounted to about $34 million, including .$28 million for the management of lands and resources, $5 mil lion for construction, and $769,000 for range improve ments. Responsibility The bureau of land manage ment is responsible for the conservation and management of about 477 million acres of public land in 28 states, most of which is located west of the Rockies and in Alaska. BLM Director Edward Woozley said that receipts from the sale and leasing-of public domain land and re sources are an important source of revenue at both the national and ' local level About $500 million have been distributed to states and coun ties, Woozley said, including about $52 million in 1960. These revenues are important aids to education and other local government programs. Woozley explained that the 1960 revenues came from tne following sources: mineral leases and permits $324 mil lion (including $229.5 million from rents, royalties, and bonuses on the Outer Con tinental Shelf); timber sales, $36 million; sales of public land, $5 million; grazing, $4 million; and $2 million from other sources. Large Single Source The largest single source of public domain revenues was oil and gas leasing on the Outer Continental Shelf. In February, 1960, the sixth and largest federal competi tive oil and gas lease bid opening resulted in high bids of over $282 million for 145 tracts off Texas and Louisi ana.' Woozley said that there is an additional $300 million of federal revenues in an Outer Continental Shelf leasing escrow account. That money would also go into the treas ury provided the Outer Con tinental Shelf boundary dis pute is 'settled In favor of the federal government.

Woozley said these lands contain some of the finest, high quality, old growth timber in the nation. The lands are intensely man aged on a sustained yield basis. According lo Ross A. Youngblood, district manager of the local bureau of land management office, receipts for fiscal year 1960 in the Medford district were pri marily from the sale of tim ber from the O and C grant lands and intermingled public domain lands, and from leases and permits. The total collec tions in the district was $6, 152,844.69. Distributed to Counties ' Seventy-five per cent of the gross revenues from the O and C timber sales are dis tributed to the 18 counties in western Oregon in which the timber land is located.

Announcement of the grants from the Office of Naval Re search was made by President A. L. Strand. Last year, OSC was given $319,555 giant by ONR for purchase of a quarter-million-dollar research vessel and to start some new oceanography studies. The 80-foot "floating laboratory" is now under con struction in Portland and will be finished early next spring. It will be named Acona - an Indian name for Yaquina. Newport - on the Yaquina bay - will be the home port. Extensive Study Planned With the new grants and with completion of the vessel, Oregon Slate will be able to study the ocean from "top to bottom" and "inside out," Dr. Wayne V. Burt, head of the oceanography depart ment, pointed out. Research will include stud ies of currents off Oregon and how they change; bottom sedi ments and the ocean floor; temperature, oxygen content, and salinity of the water; in ventories of plant and animal life; pollution problems coastal estuaries; movements of "water masses" within the ocean; and defense-type re search on underwater factors affecting submarine opera tions. Oregon Slate is one of 10 schools, strategically located along the East and West coasts and the Gulf of Mexico, select ed to carry out a giant 10-year national program of research in waters surrounding the United States. In the case of Oregon, al most no research had been done on the ocean before Burt joined the OSC staff in 1954, even though Oregon has the fourth longest coastline of any state.
