THE OWL
HOOTS
By AL GISS '
We hadn't seen this friend in
several years. "How are things
down at Oregon Tech? he
asked and it wasn't an. idle ges
ture, he was interested.
We told him about the new
campus that Oregon Tech had
been accredited last year by the
Northwest Association of Secon
I dary and Higher Schools that
' two more curricula iad been
accredited early this month by
the Engineers' Council for Pro
fessional Development in addition
to four others already accredited
that recruiters from space
age industries were being sched
uled beginning the first day of
the second week of school for
Oregon Tech is Olefin's less
than - a - bachelors degree college
and that it requires college-able
students to complete an OT1 pro
gram successfully that Oregon
Tech can have a selective sjudent
bony only because it is a slate
wide institution drawing quality
students from all of Oregon's
counties that because of its
quality program students come
from half of the states in the
United States and a dozen for
eign countries than many Ore
gon Tech graduates have a prob
lem in deciding which job to take
rather than the problem of get
ting a job.
That Oregon Tech was placed
in the State System of Higher
Education by the state legislature
to offer that high level technical
education which lies between that
offered by the bechelor degree in
stitutions on the one hand and
the vocational-technical education
offered by the bachelor degree in
lcgcs on the other hand and
that Oregon Tech is recognized
nationally, and even internation
ally, as one of the most advanced
technical institutes in the United
Slates.
Our friend was impressed
and what was his comment?
"That's really great. I'm glad to
hear about it. Oregon certainly
needs a good trade school.
Well, how does one tell the
people so they will understand?
What words, or terms, could be
used that would be more de
scriptive? How does one tell the
real "Oregon Tech" story?
We remember a student of sev
eral years ago who said com-
olaininalv. "I came to OTI to
take refrigeration technology. I
came to learn to install and serv
ice refrigerators and refrigeration
equipment like that used in the
suDermarkets. I didn't come to
take math and (English and phys
ics and technical report writing
etc., etc."
That student was interested in
learning a vocation. At that stage
in life he was not the quality of
student to succeed at Oregon
Tech. Perhaps a stint in the serv
ice, or getting married, or
simply maturing over a period of
a year or two would have pre
Dared him.
There are probably five to eight
high school graduates who want
a less stringent type of technical
education than that offered at
Oregon Tech or each one who is
interested in the more rigorous
Orcqon Tech type. If education
serves all of Oregon's high school
graduates properly, and if the in
dustrial needs in Oregon are met
adequately, there will be high
qualitv programs in the vocation-
al technical level to serve the five
to eight students mentioned. It is
our opinion that the state lcgisla
lure in 1939 recognized these lev
els of technical education with
in the total educational spectrum
when they placed Oregon Tech In
the State System of Higher Ldu
cation and at the same time en
acted legislation to permit the de
velopment of local area commu
nity colleges with state assist
ance.
Faculty committee assignments
announced last week include on
the Scholarship Committee Lar
ry Burleson, Bruno Slarchese,
Ben Morrison, Walter Richartz
Jay Silva, Walter Spencer and
Ray Wood, with Frank D. Stanko
as chairman; on the Student Loan
Committee, John Anderson, Gene
Culver, Earl Kurtz, A. E. .Smith,
Frank Stanko and William
Swartz, with Max Saunders
chairman.: and on the Student
Awards Committee Cecil Bark-
doll, Robert Boyle. William Brad
ford Ur., iDel Folk, Earl Kurtz
and Gene Stivers, with Jesse
Crabtree as chairman.
The recruiting schedule for Oc
tober, not including individuals or
small firms interested in one or
two graduates, Includes two re
cruiters from International Busi
ness Machines in Los Angeles on
the 8th and 9th: two from the
U.S. Forest Service on the Uth:
a team of four or five from the
University of California Lawrence
Radiation Laboratory at Liver-
more on the DSth and 16th; two
recruiters from Sandia Corpora
tion at Livermore on the 17th:
a team of two or three from the
E.G.&G. electronics firm in Las
Vegas; two or three recruiters
from Minneapolis-Honeywell in
Brighton, Mass., and Los Ange
les, and a team of three or four
recruiters from the Mercury,
Nev., division of the Lawrence Ra
diation Laboratory on the 28th
and 29th.
For the benefit of both gradu
ates seeking employment and the
recruiters, a system for present
ing the full credentials of each
preparation, experience, personal
identification, and other pertinent
information, has been developed
and is in full swing in the present
operation of the Office of Place
ment Services.
We. probably should mention
that nothing on campus has su
perseded the concern over the
imminent and potentially impos
ing results of a possible failure

TV Viewing Is Passive But Studying Is Not
By The Reading Laboratory
Written for
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Unfortunately, many students
when they study don't seem to
realize that books and television
are different; they try to study as
though they were watching television.
To make the difference clear.
let's take a minute for review.
You'll recall that as we've talked
about textbooks, we've stressed
the necessity of studying in
spurts, of overviewing for the
main idea, of trying to get the
most out of the maps and graphs
then of dipping deeper and deep
er into the text until youre fi
nally down to the smallest de
tails. This is work; it's an ac
tive thinking process.
But when you watch a tclevi-
sion set, everything s done for
meet the changes demanded in
improved patient care.
The training and curriculum
in nursing is also changing to
meet this demand. Nurses of 1963
must take refresher courses since
the educational standards of nurs
ing 23 years ago are neither ade
quate nor acceptable for today's
responsibilities, convention speak
ers stated. All professions hve
found this upgrading necessary in
their fields. .
The need, it was shown, for
a well-qualified staff and up-to-
date techniques can be met by
postgraduat professional courses
and conference work. Through
these mediums the basic need for
more and better nursing care can
be fulfilled.
ONA District No. 8, say nurs
ing authorities, has much to gain.
The unit looks toward the future
for nurses and nursing care.

you. There's a picture, sound and
generally a light story. You can
turn off vour brain and let the
television do the work.
Watching television is essential
ly a passive process. There's
nothing wrong with that. As a
matter of fact, it's good to re
lax that way at times. But don't
try to study that w ay !
Lots of students approach a
book passively. They figure that
if they have SO pages of study
ing to do, all they need do is
sit down, turn oil their brains,
and look at all the words. It just
doesn t work. A book isn't a tele
vision set. I
A book can organiie material!
for you but it's up to you to dig
the facts out of the pages: you'll
have to do the work.Mf you work
hard and actively, using the tech
niques we've been discussing
surveying, thinking and resurvey
ing you'll get at the facts. But
if you wait for the facts to come
to you . . . well, it'll be a long
wait.
The best way to be sure you're
reading actively is to develop
yourself into a questioning read
er. Before you start, quiz your
self: What do you think you know
about the topic? What do you
expect this chapter to add to your
knowledge? .
During your first survey, try
to answer the questions, Who?
What? Where? When? Why?
How? On the second survey, ask
the same questions, but answer
the ones you didn't get the first
time around. '
By your third chapter survey
i the first sentence of each para
graph), you should have partic-l
ular questions on the chapter to
be answered. During the rapid
readme of the entire text, turn
the first sentence of each para
graph into a question just in
vert it and answer It from the
body of the paragraph. And then
you're ready for the details
lask yourself which details can
you ngure out lor yourself. Which
ones need to be memorized?
It's not really Important which
questions you ask. (Some stu
dents find role-playing very ef
fective. If you were the Duke of
Wellington, how would you attack
Napoleon?) But it is important
that you auk questions, that you're
active, involved and thinking.
When you're all finished, you can
watch television and turn off your
brain again. - :
