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.
Most calls at OSC from
hieh schools this year were
for teachers of girls physical

Elementary teachers are
constantly seeking more
young men teachers, accord
ing to Mrs. Smith. It is lm
peratlve, she staled, that
teacher candidates for nigh
school positions be able to
teach in two or more subject
fields.
More than 200 school ad
ministrators from all the west
ern states,, including Alaska
and Hawaii, came to the cam
pus for interviews with grad
uates. Biggest tribute to the
work of the OSC - trained
teachers is that administrators

New York, N, Y. (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

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.
Nearly all of the $36 mil
lion worth of timber sold by
BLM in 1960 came from the

lands contain some of the
finest, high quality, old
growth timber in the nation.
The lands are intensely man
aged on a sustained yield

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

the present lime the western
Oregon counties are volun
tarily, contributing one-third
of their share of receipts for
reforestation, access road con
struction, and recreational de
velopments.
Revenues to the O and C
counties reached an all-time
high of $24.4 million in I960,
Woozley said. Congress ap
propriated $6 million to BLM
for forestry in 1960.
Woozley said that for 175
years the public domain has
been contributing to the
growth and development of
the United States. It origin
ally embraced about 1.8 bil
lion acres, but sice 1785 more
than 1.1 billion , acres have

OSC Gets
For Basic
Corvallis - Grants totaling
$203,000 have been received
by Oregon Slate college ocean
ography department to expand
basic research on the ocean
off Oregon and to help train
badly-needed oceanographers.
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.
