EAST GREEN

N EARING coniijk-tion on Ohio L'ni\cisity's lower campus is the $8,000,000 East Green housing- unit for men. Planned as an 11-imit dormitory pro- ject, it will house some 2200 students when com- pleted.

The ninth doiinitory, as yet unnamed, is ex- pected to be finished in the early spring, and the tenth is in the first stages of construction, as indicated near the top center of the photograph. It will be known as Jefferson Hall.

Cafeterias in these two newest dormitories will l^rovide facilities for the entire imit.

East Union Street can be seen running horizontally across the top of the photograph between the Jeffer- son Hall construction project and a row of houses which will soon be removed to make way for a new College of Education building. In the upper left hand corner is the Putnam School building;.

T\VO PHOIOGRAPHS in this month's issue of the Alunmus magazine appear through the courtesy of a 1941 graduate, John Dengel. A staff member of the "Oakland Tribune", Mr. Dengel lias been very generous in furnishing the magazine with photographs of events involving Ohio Univer- sity alumni in northern California. The two Dengel photos this month appear on pages 10 and 11.

An Editorial First

ANEW TYPE of presentation is being at- tempted this month in the article beginning on Page 16. With an eye toward "continuing education" as well as reading pleasure, the Alimi- nus Magazine is ofl'ering a case study in Human Relations much as it is given to a person studying it lor future classroom discussion.

Human Relations has proved so successful both in the regular curriculum and in special adult sessions such as summer workshops, that we wanted to introduce it to readers who might not have been exposed to the course while on the campus.

Discussions of case studies have e\en proved popular as programs for civic groups and at ]3ar- ties. Of course, we hope that .some readers will want to study this case according to instructions offered by Dr. Bernard Black, in order to compare ideas with those presented in the next issue of the magazine. In any event, we hope you will read it because we feel it will prove interesting and will proN'ide a good look at the pro\ocati\e study of Human Relations.

THE SELECTION of the Home- coming queen was returned to an all-male campus vote by Student Coun- cil. This year's queen was selected by an all-campus vote after the football team narrowed the field to the three finalists.

The football team selected the Home- coming queen for seven years prior to 1953, when the vote was given to all campus men. This year's system was a compromise made by Student Council. Since there was so much discontent and dissent, the voting system has been changed again.

SIXTV-TVVO students representing 30 countries are included in this fall's enrollment, according to Dr. B. A. Renkenberger. foreign student ad- viser.

The largest delegation of students are from Hawaii and Korea, with 1 1 and nine respectively.

Other countries represented arc Libya, Iran, Greece, Liberia, India. Syria, Panama, Malaya, Pakistan, Co- lombia, Mexico, Thailand, Brazil, China, Lebanon, Biuma, Philippines, Haiti, Jordan, Peru, Turkey, Formosa, Iraq and Spain.

POLITICAL WEEK voters predicted public opinion by "electing" Presi- dent Eisenhower, Senator-elect Lausche and Ohio's new Go\'ernor O'Neill in a straw vote in late October. Fifty-three percent of the campus population turned out to vote in the annual bal- loting.

New class presidents, as elected by their respective classes, are Dean Hons- berger, Alliance senior; Gerald Francis. Toledo junior; Layne Longfellow, Jack- son sophomore, and Bob Conaway, Pittsburgh freshman.

In the final days of the political cam- paign, Vice President Nixon stopped in Athens on a whistle-stop tour of Ohio. Several himdred students and towns- people turned out to see and hear him.

Several Ohio politicians also visited campus prior to elections as guests of the newly-formed Young Republican and Young Democrat Clubs.

ROSS PAULSON, Elkhart, Ind. senior, took first place in the Indi- vidual Discussion competition and the OU men's and women's debate teams placed second in the Tau Kappa Alpha Regional Debate Tournament Nov. 1 7 at Denison University.

Paulson won his first place on the question of "What Should Be the Role of the United States in the Middle East?"

The negative teams of Linne Carl- son, Athens, and Barb Seifert, Spring- field, and Tom Lyons, Farrell, Pa., and Jim Thompson, Cambridge, went un- defeated in three contests.

The affirmative teams of Deborah Dobkin, Washington, D. C, and Phyl- lis Bader, Piqua, and Clhuck Speaks, Roscoe, and Gary Stansbery, Marion, took two of their three debates. Denison the host team, took first place in debate.

Lyons was also elected to represent the region at the TKA national con- vention in March. Paulson represented the region at last year's conclave.

PAT YOGER, a junior from Cha- grin Falls, reigns as "Miss Ohio College of 1956." Chosen from candi- dates representing the universities and colleges of the state, .she received an expenses-paid trip to Ashbuiy Park, N. J., where she placed among the top 14 selected nationally.

J -CLUB, junior men's honor society, wasn't too troubled when it dis- covered its annual tapping day, Nov. 11, fell on Sunday this year. These in- genious young men merely changed the calendar and eliminated Nov. 12. The 1 1th lasted 48 hours.

This enabled the group to tap 1 1 out- standing junior men at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

New J-Clubbers are Dick Brown, Zanesville; Teriy Clovis, Charleston, W. Va.; Paul Haring, Mansfield; Jim Hartman, Cincinnati; Dave Kuenzli, Upper Sandusky; Tom Lyons, Farrell, Pa.; Mike McKinley, Ashland; Joe Phillips, Canton; Larry Tavcar, Cleve- land; George Voinovich, Cleveland, and Dan Momson, Cleveland.

TAKING NOTE of the unreliability of campus clocks and of Center clocks in particular, the Post made a few pointed cominents on the situation in a recent editorial.

For instance, the editors pointed out that the Center cafeteria was operating on Buenos Aires time, the Post office on Rio de Janeiro time, and the Athena on Los Angeles time.

As the Post says: "Yep, the clock is the product of centuries of progress. But today a good bet would be trading a Center clock for a tmsty old hour- glass."

THE SUBJECT of extracurricular activities — good or bad, too much or too little — is still being hotly de- bated by the entire campus.

Latest developments include the abolishing of May Sing, a Mothers' Weekend tradition, by Women's Lea- gue, its sponsor. Interdorm Council, Interfraternity Coimcil, Pan-Hellenic Clouncil and East Green are all busy discussing the subject and making recommendations and sending them to Student Council. Council will report to Campus Affairs Committee, who will take final action.

Other suggestions include banning Siglympics and Tekequacade, limiting intramural sports, curtailing or aban- doning Mothers' Weekend and better scheduling of large social events.

COUNT BASIE and his orchestra took over the Memorial Audi- torium stage the evening of Nov. 14 and rocked the rafters with their special brand of jazz. A near-capacity audience heard the Count and Co. The group's appearance was sponsored by Circle K.

Foundation for Teaching

THE FORMULA FOR QUALITY INSTRUCTION IS A MIXTURE OF MANY ELEMENTS

FIGURES can be misleading. If you were to check the formal schedule of an Ohio Uni\ersity professor, for in- stance, you would notice that he has approximately 12 teaching hours per week. By simple mathematics you con- ceivably coidd conclude that a professor works at his job somewhat less than three hours each day.

Nothing could be farther from the trutii. The classroom lecture or labora- tory demonstration represents the culmination of a great many episodes in the educator's day-to-day routine. And the professor knows that his value in the classroom is directly proportional to his continuous acti\it\' in many en- dea\ors.

Foremost among these is his ]jre]jara- tion for classroom work. This involves not only the specific formulation of each day's lectures, but also the con- tinued development of his own know- ledge of the subject. Theories, methods, terms, tools, and ideas that were new

yesterday may be obsolete tomorrow.

The quality of the professor's teach- ing depends upon his industry in keep- ing abreast of these changes — often ahead of them. For the professor of to- day is called upon not only to interpret progress being made, but to be a leader in bringing about this progress.

Through research, experimentation, study, and constant contact with other specialists, the \aluable professor be- comes a leader in his field and con- sequently more qualified to direct the thinking of college students.

Business and industry call upon him tor consultation through such media as workshops and conferences. The professor, in turn, is able to keep in- lonned on industrial and business trends.

Through research and writing the professor furthers his own knowledge and offers the fruits of his study for others to read.

In addition, he feels il is his cliiiv

to get to know and understand his students as much as possible, and to play an important role in University life. He must be a counselor as well as instructor, and his administrative ideas help determine University policy.

This means regidar roimds of meet- ings and consultations, all of which contribute to the welfare of the stu- dents and the University, and thus be- come important phases of a professors lite and his work.

No less important are the jobs of grading papers, preparing examina- tions, handling correspondence courses, off-campus teaching, conducting even- ing classes or various types of rehersals, and serving as advisoi' to student groups.

.■\11 of these things add up to a great many more than 12 hours per week, but they also make the work of a college professor one of the most gratifying of all professions.

CLASSROOM LECTURE is next and most impoitant of the day's events. Teach- ing loads vary from 10 to 15 credit hours per semester, depending a great deal upon the subjects, and whether or not they include lab periods.

COUNSELING STUDENTS, either in scheduled counseling periods or informal chats is a daily function of the teaching profession. Dis- cussing a classroom problem with Dr. Picard is Annette Ballweg, Ldii'j Tlnnd, N. Y.. 'iiniim

Foundation for Teaching (Continued)

IN ADDITION to liis duties at the Uni\er- sity, the professor of today frequently has a variety of off-campus responsibilities. He is called upon often to serve as speaker for community or alumni club meetings, or to chaperone student groups on trips. Academic as well as social sei"vices also require some travel, as indicated by the photos here.

HIGH SCHOOL VISITATIONS depend a great deal upon faculty who will make occasional trips to Ohio high schools and talk to students interested in higher education. Dr. Picard lakes a last-minute look at his schedule with Edward E. Rhine, who arranges visitations, before starting out for Cuyahoga Falls High School.

BRANCHES in five Southeastern Ohio cities get the largest part of instruction from campus professors. Dr. Picard teaches each Monday evening at the branch in Lancaster, where he is shown with Howard E. Kirk, '29, director.

AT ALUMNI MEETINGS faculty members are in great demand as speakers. In this photograph by OU alumnm John Dengel at a meeting of the San Francisco Alumni Chap- ter are speakers Picard and Widdoes with alumni Bill Kcp- linger, '25, right, and Jim Claymore, '42.

Five years ago Dow Finsterwald was one of the brightest

names on the Ohio University

sports scene. Today be ranks

among the top professional golfing names in the nation as the

Most Improved Pro Qolfer of 1956

NIGHT WAS closing in on Clhi- cago's Tam O'Shanter golf course and the lone figure working out on the practice tee was barely visible to tour- ing professionals who had long since come in from the day's round of the 1956 "World" championship.

Glancing at the mo\ing shadow on the tee, Pro Al Besselink told a by- stander at the club house, "I'll bet you fi\e dollars that's Dow Finsterwald."

In one sentence the veteran Besselink had presented the success story of golf- ing's "most improved professional of 1956." At the end of October the 1952 Ohio University graduate had pocket- ed ,$28,113 in PGA sponsored tourneys, second only to "World" winner Ted Kroll.

Even more important, he had set a new professional golfing record b\ finishing in the money through 37 straight PGA tournaments, extending back into 1955.

Close followers of the sport were not surprised when Dow Finsterwald's fellow touring pros voted him winner of the 1956 Golf Digest "Most Im- ]3ro\ed Professional" award.

Talent and Hard Work

Like many success stories, Dow's is a combination of natiual talent and hard work. But unlike most, his story is not one of long-suffering struggle.

There were discouraging times, like the beginning of the 1955 tour when he was out of the money in five straight events before tying for 12th place at Houston and winning $635. That was immediately after his discharge from the Air Force.

But the slump was short li\ed. The

smooth-swinging yoimg pro began to score with a $3000 second-place in the Colonial and a winner's check for $2400 at Ft. Wayne. By the end of 1955, his first full year as a touring professional, he was 15th among 236 PGA money winners in the coimtn-. with total winnings of $15,386.

Second Leading Money Winner

This year's unequaled consistency, in which he has won only one tournament yet moved to second place among pros, establishes him as one of the top flight golfers of the day.

As Al Besselink's statement at Tam O'.Shanter indicates, Dow is known for his unwavering devotion to working at his game. Wherever he has been along the tournament trail, he has seldom passed up an opportunity to take les- sons from seasoned veterans and to practice, practice, practice.

Three club pros, Art Smith of ®?n- cinnati, P. O. Hart of Parkersburg, and Bob Littler of .\thens perhaps have done more than any others in puting a

smooth finish on Don's game. Smith was the man who enc-oiiragod him to take up golf seriously.

Share of the Spectacular

Although his greatest weapon is his consistency, the 27-year-old Athens golfer has also had his shart of the spectacular.

One of the highlights of his career came in 1950 during one of his few national tournaments as an amateur. An Ohio L'niversity student at the time, he entered the St. Louis Open, in which most of the big name golfers were competing.

In the final round of the event Dow jarred the record hooks with a blazing round of 61. Most amazing of all was the fact that it broke a record 62 by Walter Hagen which had stood sincr 1923.

The incident |3rompted Dr. Gary Middlecoff, the golfing dentist, to ask in surprise, ""What holes did he lea\e out?"

Dow also rated a few raised eye- brows when he drojjped a holc-in-one at the Tam O'Shanter tournament this year. It was the third of his career, others coming in the Pro-Ant tourney at San Antonio and at the Athens Country Club.

In the 1956 Masters Tournament he sank a 20-foot putt on the final hole to edge into the list of money-winners and keep his consecutive string going.

The Paper Bag Dragged

The detennination which has mark- ed such a career was already noticeable when Dow was only six years old. Con- vinced that he wanted to have a paper

IN GRADE SCHOOL Dow was interested in sports, but did not start to think about golf until he got a job at the Athens Country Club.

route, Dow refused to believe that he was too young, and he was insistent when notified of an opening at the Athens Messenger.

E\en the fact that the paper bag dragged on the groimd when he had it over his shoulder failed to change his mind. The strap was shortened by his mother and six-year-old Dow Finster- wald became a Messenger paper carrier.

At the age of 14 he was able to get a job at the Athens Country Club where he ser\ed as locker room boy and helped in the pro shop. He had orders fiom his father to stay away from slot machines and golf, because both were ''like disea.ses" and would prevent his doing a good job.

As far as can be determined, Dow listened to the advice on slot machines.

DOW AND WIFE, LINDA, relax on the "19th Hole" ot Tarn O'Shanter In Chicago. Dow sank a hole-in-one at Tom O'Shanter's World tournament this year.

But somehow ihe golfing disease spread into his working area and before the summer was over he had been in his first "toiu-nament " with fellow worker Tad Grovei- and Greenskeeper Harry Jacoby. The scores were 116-117-118, although there is a difference of opinion as to who won.

I^egardless of the winner, Dow Finsterwald had been smitten. From then on he sought advice and practice whenever possible.

In high school he was a member of the goll team and ])layed some basket- ball. .\ broken collarbone cut short his try at high school football, increasing his concentration on golf.

In 1946 and 1947, while still in high school, he captured Athens Goimtry Club chanijiionships, and in 1948 he added the Golunibus Junior and South- eastern Ohio Amateur Championships. He repeated the latter in 1950 and 1951. won the Columbus District Amateur in 1949, and later the Colum- bus District Open in 1952.

A Collegiate Standout

Meanwhile, Dow was establishing an outstanding intercollegiate record with Ohio University's golf team.

His father, Athens attorney Russ Finsterwald, "19, his mother, the former Lucille Henry, '17, and his sister Jane, '45 (now Mrs. Wiliam C. Long of Birmingham, Michigan), had graduat- ed from OL'. Mr. Finsterwald also coached the football team in 1920-21- 22 and was a well-known Big Ten foot- ball official for 15 years.

Dow entered Ohio LTni\ersity as a ]5re-law student and became active in student affairs as well as athletics.

In 1949, his first year as a varsity golfer, the Bobcat team finished third in the Ohio Intercollegiate Meet for the highest rating ever attaiited by an OU squad. The following year, led by Dow and his close friend, Roger Pedigo, the team im]5ro\rd that ' record by finishing second.

Winding up his collegiate golfing career in 1951, Dow had established himself as a leading amateur golfer. In addition to his imprcssiv'e record on the Ohio L^ni\crsity team and the heralded 61 roiuid at St. Louis, he had become the only collegiate goiter to be included in the 1951 Master's Tourna- ment and had been named to the Walker Chip team as an alternate.

Respect on the Circuit

Unlike most of today's top young pro golfers, Dow did not pursue an ex- tensi\e touring career as an amateur. Instead he turned professional on November 27, 1951, while he was still an Ohio L^niversitv student. PGA rules

call for a waiting period of six inontiis after turning pro before a golfer is eligible to win tournament money.

By making his move in November. Dow was ready to cast his lot with the touring pros immediately following iiis graduation from Ohio University tin- next June.

Wasting no time in gaining respc( i on the circuit, he soon grabbed fourth- place money in the Western Open. His total earnings jimiped to $2,286 by the end of the summer when he put aside his clubs to begin a different type ot tour with the United States Air Force.

By that time he had already been signed as a member of the MacGregor Company advisory staff, which veteran writers pointed to as an indication ol the "general feeling about his futuir."

Golfing Lieutenant

Ha\ ing received an ROTCl commis- sion along with his bachelor's degree. Dow reported to Lackland Air Force Base as a second lieutenant. Later he was advanced to first lieutenant and .served at Alexandria and Pope Air Bases.

IvIID-AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP team o( 1951, which went undefeated in 10 conference matches, was led by (I. to r.) Earl Davis, Dow, Coach Kermit Blosser, Dave Rambo, Herb Branstitter.

While serving in the Air Force, Dow married Linda Pedigo, a 1951 OU graduate. They had gone together through high school days at Athens and while attending Ohio University.

Linda, a sister of Dow's fonner team- mate on the OU golf team, travels with her husband most of the time. She

also takes care of arrangements for ac- comodations at the various cities along the circuit — no small job in tourna- ment golfing.

During his two years in the Service Dow was able to ])lay a great deal of golf, and he finished second and third in the Air Force championship matches of 19.53 and 1954.

[n commending the golfing lieu- tenant for his fine showing, his wing commander. Col. William A. Daniel, told the Press, "I consider him one of the finest golfers and sportsmen I have c\er known. He did a splendid job on the golf circuit, and carried out his duties at the base as well. He is a fine fellow and did a wonderful job."

Discharged late in 1954, Dow soon was back on the professional circuit, shooting his way to the top grou]) of money winners.

Still a representative of MacGregor, he also became associated with the Gene Kunes Golf Center of Bedford Heights, Ohio.

Kind of Golfer He Is

At 27, Dow Finsterwald is an easy- going, yet determined yoimg man with a great future in professional golf. His success has been swift and abundant, but he has maintained a modesty that makes him popular with spectators and fellow golfers.

Calm and imassuming both on and off the course, his mannerisms have led all-time great golfer Byron Nelson to state that Dow deserves to "be on top because of the kind of golfer he is."

Writing in the Dallas Times-Herald, Nelson added that the former OU star is "beginning to bring the prediction of other professionals to reality because many of us have been talking about him as one of the stars of tomorrow."

The 1956 "most improved profes- sional" award shows that a great many others agree.

No "green" freshmen is left on campus to shift for himself. The uni- versity not only provides an excellent coimseling system for campus new- comers, but there are always numerous upperclassmen around to cheer up homesick, confused "rookies."

Even before she reaches Athens, the ])rospective coed receives personal let- ters designed to make her arrival more enjoyable. These letters are from the girl's floor chaimian and student coun- selor.

Regardless of which dorm she li\es

in, the frosh has two of these "big sisters." The counselors not only make suggestions for easier dorm living but make the coed feel she has a friend or two before siie finds herself in the midst of that hectic orientation period called Freshman Week.

Floor chainnen are elected donni- toiy officers and are a laison between the coeds and the domi resident coun- selor (once called "housemother"). Women's League and the dean of wo- men.

As Mrs. Mary K. Foreman, who has been a resident coimselor at OU for eight years, explains, "The floor chair- man represents law and order on the floor. She's in charge of seeing that the

girls know rules and regulations for both the dorm and the campus." The floor chaimian holds a meeting once a week to give annoimcements and to discuss donn problems or projects with her charges.

It's a student counselor's job to help the freshman lead a happier campus life. These girls are chosen on interest and ability and help the new coeds adjust to college living.

The coimselors and floor chairmen work together to help with homesick- ness, roommate problems or with less serious troubles as what to wear on a date or which professor is best for a certain course.

FRESHMAN DATING PANELS, sponsored by the Men's Union Governing Board and Women's League, are popular with students. Here three campus leaders discuss social problems with freshmen men at on after-hours dormitory meeting.

in a human relations course, '"Practicuni in Student Personnel," taught by Assistant Dean of Women Enna I. Anderson. The class discusses problems (no names are ever mentioned) arising in their own situations and then decide how to solve them.

Situations and Problems

The domiitoiy resident counselor and doraiitory graduate assistants also meet with the counselors in their hous- ing imit twice a month to discuss pro- blems. Again no individual is discussed, only situations and problems.

"We want the girls to be able to stand on their own two feet and make decisions." Dean of Women Margaret Deppen explains, "'But we want them to have someone around who has been through the 'mill'." The formal pro- gram is only in effect the first semester.

"We work within our limitations, ' Miss Deppen continues, "If the coun- seloi' and the resident counselor feel the problem warrants it, I may talk to the girl or we may refer the problem to the psychology department."

The student counselor set-up is rela- tively new to OU. It was started in 1950 by former Dean of Women Leona Felsted Jones. At first, only senior women were counselors, but since fewer upperclassmen live in dorms, requirements were soon lowered to sophomore women.

"We found sophomores were actually better counselors as they were closer to the problems of the freshmen and therefore more sympathetic," Miss Anderson explains.

Men also have a counseling system although it is not as definitely set as the women's system.

As in the women's dorms, there is one counselor on each floor, usually about 30 men. The counselor has more duties for he must be both "law and order" and "big brother."

Because it is difficult to find per- manent resident managers for the men's dorms, graduate students and their wives fill these positions. Since the heads-of-residence are only part time, the student counselors ha\e many- more duties. The university pays them each $300 a year for their services.

Practicum in Personnel

The counselors meet with their charges once a week at the beginning of the year and then call meetings when necessary during the rest of the teiTn. The men counselors participate in a similar course to the women's "The Practicum in Student Personnel."

Dean of Men Maurel Hunkins calls the system, "The best we can devise without full-time heads-of-residence."

Counseling does not end in the dorms. Each student has an academic counselor and several campus oi^aniza-

tions have developed programs to help the newcomers on campus.

^Vomen's League and Men's Union Go\eniing Board, the two main govern- ing bodies, sponsor freshmen panels each year.

Three campus leaders \isit both men's and women's dorms afternoons and discuss problems of a social nature. These can range from where to go on a date and "What do you wear to a football game?"

"How to Study" panels are also held in the girls' domis every year. Spon- ored by Mortar Board, senior wo- men's honor society, the panels give tips on how and where to study, and point up the importance of good study liabits.

Approximately 150 men get a pre- view of campus life each summer at the annual YMCA Freshman Camp. .Administrators and student leaders speak to the group and give the boys tips on fraternities, study habits, and college life in general.

Besides all the formal counseling and help, there are always advice-giv- ing upperclassmen who have experienc- ed the same feelings and problems in previous years. They're always willing to give advice and help when needed.

It is seldom that you find a "green" freshman on the OU campus. In fact, after a week or two, it's hard to tell the "rookies" from the "old pros."

Human Relations hy The Case Method

By Dr. Bernard R. Black

THE STUDY' of human relations by the case method in\ohx's concrete situations of human beings at work in an organized hiunan actixity. Education does not mean teaching people to know what they do not know — it means leaching them to liciiaNc as they do not behave.

The results obtained from the case method (a useful way of looking at a situation) should develop more explicit skills and a better theoretical fomiula- tion for adjusting to and administrating change. In order to work toward these skills, we must recognize three pro- blems: first, the commimication and understanding between individuals, between individuals and groujjs, and between groups imder different condi- tions and varying relationships: second, securing action and cooperation under different conditions and in varying fonnal organizations : third, maintain- ing individual and organizational equi- librium through change.

The case method of teaching human relations had its beginning at Harvard University. Industrial studies conducted in 1926 and later under Elton Mayo and L. J. Henderson of the Harvard faculty brought to light the im]jact of personal and social determinants of productivity and cooperative behavior.

The human relations classes at Ohio University were started in September. 1947. The development of this curri- culum at Ohio University can be attri- buted to the interest and association of President J. C Baker with Harvard University.

There are several basic assumptions that one makes in teaching a course in Human Relations by the case method. One of the assimrptions is that societv may be thought of as an association ol free individuals for mutual advantage. While we all believe in cooperation, we usually mean that others should co- operate with us, on om- terms.

\Ve must also assume that the under- standing of the nature of oilture, society, groups and of hmuan nature is something which is part of human relations experience — which is all with- in a framework of our democratic s\- stem of living.

We are therefore trying to define an area for the study of responsible be- havior by using the case method in human relations, and to show how this method of study will have practical outcomes and practical benefits as we

Because of the popularity and Importance of tfie relatively new curriculum, Human Relations, the Alumnus this month has asked Dr. Bernard Black to help the mago- zine score an editorial "first."

By actually bringing a course ol study to the reader, we hope to provide a vivid picture of Hum.an Relations and the case study method.

develop oui' understanding and skills, and as we come to various usefid ways of looking at situations that are part of our responsibilities in our daily living.

What is needed in our daily work with others is more practice of effective human relations skills and less talk about verbal principles. We live in a world where emotions and sentiments liave a greater power than the intellect. The instructor of the case method in human relations tries to keep the signi- ficance of non-factual statements in mind as he helps students to accept the responsibility for their decisions.

Himian Relations is a college course or a synonym for social behavior. A tool of industrial management, it is at the same time the tactics of working effectively with all one's fellow human beings. Unlike most social sciences. Hu- man Relations lacks a imique body of organized concepts. Other approaches to the study of human behavior, how- ever, lack practical techniques corres- ponding to their theories.

In Hiunan Relations there are no hypothetical situations in which "rules'" might be rigorously applied. On the

contraiy, one is confronted with real individuals, involved in unique, inter- locking relationshi]5s with other indivi- duals, such that disturbance of one pei- son affects many others. Thus the most valuable aspect of Human Relations is not its concepts per se but their utiliza- tion in predicting the outcome of various possible courses of action, first in classroom and later in a real-life situation.

Human Relations skills may be de- fined as the art of interacting har- moniously with one's fellow hinnan be- ings by promoting beneficial action in a disturbed interpersonal situation. .\ wide variety of situations may confront a person taking the basic course in Human Relations. For example, we may find in the primary grouj) of the family, sibling scjuabbles, child-parent disagreements, husband-wife discord, or in-law disputes. In schools we may find teachers and pupils at odds, teach- ci-teacher or teacher-supervisor dis- agreements. Industiy may be the set- ting for disputes involving individual workers, vmions, and persons in various supervisoiy capacities. Individuals or groups at odds with each other may be harbored in the voluntary organizations of a community. Depending on the ])articular situation, the person with responsibility to take action may be jiarent, personnel manager, or school coimselor. His function is to determine the jjroblems and to decide upon a course of action to resolve them.

.Since no pat formulas for interpei- sonal harmony are offered, a course in Human Relations must consist in some- thing other than rote memorization of s]3ecific techniques. Corres])onding to the concrete situations of life are cases discussed in the classroom, where stu- dents are encoiuaged to think through the ramifications of actual problems, each with its imique set of complex in- terpersonal relationships.

I'he case-discussion method of learn- ing does not consist in lectures by a pro- fessor nor in a C|uestion-answer session between professor and student, in which the latter propounds his verbal knowledge.

Instead, students hav e pre\ iously studied the written case, in which is

presented the background of a problem situation in a field such as industiA. education, or personal relations, riic task of the class is to determine thiou^ii discussion of facts in the case, stated or implied problems, and action wliicii would be expected to alleviate tiic situation.

These questions may come up: VVhai woidd we have done? How could \\c have avoided these mistakes? What can we do now? In detennining a course of action, the class must decide who has the responsibility to make a deci- sion and what action is possible for people immediately invoked in the

case. The students learn to perceive a solution as occurring with the context of a ])articular situation and not to depend on importing "experts" when people already within an organization can restore harmony.

Included in this paper is a copy of Motor Mechanic School, which is one of the cases used in our human rela- tions classes. It is divided into three parts. One might read Part I and dis- cuss it with his spouse or with friends or with people on the job. .\fter this discussion, go on to Part II and do the same thing, and finally go to Part III.

MOTOR MECHANIC SCHOOL — PART I

On November 18, 1941, Lieutenant Clolouel Hopkins, officer in charge of the Motor Mechanic School, C'am]) Brunswick, called to his office Second Lieutenant Randall, an officer newly assigned to the School. After greeting Lieutenant Randall, Colonel Hopkins said to him, "I sent for you, Lieutenant Randall, to give you some information about your assignment as shop superintendent of Shop B. I think it will help you to imderstand yoiu' particular job. Our Motor Mechanic School has been in operation for about ten months. I was put in charge as connnanding officer when it opened. As you may know, the School trains and classifies soldiers for duty in the field and for assignment to advanced mechanics schools. The training consists of a four weeks" coinse in introducton- mechanics as ap]3lied to Arniy trucks.

"The number of students assigned hen- has increased tremendously. In Jime, 1941, we had 750, and during the following October there were 1 ,560. Before October civilians handled the actual training, with a head instructor, also a civilian, in charge of each of the four shops. Because of the rapid expansion, however, Captain Downing, my executive officer, and I foimd it practically impossible to secure enough qualified ci\ilian instructors to pro\ ide a teaching staff large enough for the niunber of students. We tried gi\ - ing the head instructors clerks to handle the routine for them, but it wasn't enough. We decided that it might be good idea to select qualified enlisted men to be trained as instructors for the purpose of supplementing, but not re- placing, the civilian teaching staff. When we decided that, we had to change the organization of the shops, of coiuse, by placing an officer in charge of each shop building as shop su]3erintendent. The head ci\ ilian instructor then be- came the assistant shop superintendent and was directly responsible to the superintendent. Ho vou siet the picture. Lieutenant Randall?"

Lieutenant Randall, who was obviously disturbed, spoke hesitantly. "Yes, sir, I think I understand, but I am afraid, sir, that my background in mechanics hasn't been enough to handle the job. As a matter of fact, Clolonel Hopkins, my only experience in mechanics has been in tinkering with an old Model "T" Ford that my father gave me when I was in high school. As yoLi probably know, I graduated from law school four years before joining the Army in May, 1941. and since then I have been an instructor in basic military training. With this background I don't feel that I am C|ualified to assume the responsibilitities of superintendent in a meciianics school.'"

"On the contrary, Lieutenant," replied the C^olonel. "I selected you for this work because according to what

we know of )'our past experience it .seems to me that you are the right kind of man for this job. Your record shows that you have administrative ability and that you can handle people. It is of the utmost importance that we keep all the good civilian help which we now have here at the School. Then, too, with an officer in charge I shall expect to ha\e a better appearing shop and improved instructional methods.

"Unfortimately,"' went on the Colonel, "the first experi- iient with the new organization did not prove successful. Lieutenant Darwin, who was the first officer superintendent of Shop B, had excellent training in engineering and heavy truck repairs, but he could not get along with the civilians in his shop, and that ability, as I said before, I consider \ei7 essential. We couldn't affard to run the risk of losing oiu' properly qualified cixilian instructors, and so I tians- ferred Lieutenant Darwin to another post.

"Well, that's the story, Randall. I feel sure that you tan do the job. If you want help at any time, don't hesi- tate to come here again. If I am busy, I know that Captain Downing will be glad to talk with you. Good morning."

"Thank you, sir. Good morning." Lieutenant Randal! left the office. When he passed by the executive's office, he noticed that Captain Downing was free, and he stopped and spoke to him. During the conversation Chaplain Downing explained more fully the reason for Lieutenant Darwin's transfer.

"This is all confidential, of course," he said. "The Colonel and I thought that with a man of Darwin's train ing we were all set, but from the very first day on his new assignment Darwin just couldn't get along with the civilians in his shop. Mr. Ward, who is the head civilian instructor in Shop B, is a man of wide experience, and is greatly respected by every man in the shop. He was very much upset by the situation. He told the Colonel and myself that Darwin's actions were so domineering that many of the civilians told him that they would quit work if Darwin remained in charge; in fact, one civilian had already lelt because of a 'run in' with him. Ward said that the very first day he took over, Darwin strutted into the shop and by the way he ordered the workers around made it unmis- uikablv clear that he, and he alone, was in complete charge. .Another thing that made them all mad, was that he tried to put a lot of changes into effect immediately. I guess you can see why in this job the ability to get on with people is more important than a background in mechanics. Come and see me if I can be of any help to you."

Humon Relations by The Cose Method (Continued)

MOTOR MECHANIC SCHOOL — PART II

Immediately after his talk with Lieutenant Cloloncl Hopkins, Lieutenant Randall went to Shop B and called a meeting of the instructors. He explained to them that he wished to get to know then and to become familiar with their work and problems. The men, however, had practi- cally nothing to say, and they worked out of the meeting as soon as he dismissed them.

Lieutenant Randall soon after the meeting had occasion to talk with Mr. Ward, the head instructor of whom the Cloloned had spoken .so highly. After some conversation on personal matters Lieutenant Randall asked Mr. Ward if he would continue with all his current duties as head of the civilian instructors. Mr. Ward said that he would be glad to.

In the course of a conversation with Mi'. White, the shop clerk, some days later. Lieutenant Randall asked, "How long have you been here, White?"

White replied, "Foiu' months."

"Oh.'" said Randall, "then Mr. Ward was here before that."

"Oh yes," said White; "Mr. Ward was in charge of .Shop B from the beginning, in March, 1941, until the new- organizational setuj) in October, and he has also been in charge lor the few days since Lieutenant Darwin left."

"The men like Ward, don't they?" inquired Lieutentant Randall.

"1 should say they do, sir," replied White. "He has the respect of every man in the shop, and besides that he keeps in close touch with C^olonel Hopkins and Captain Downing. He visits them almost every day. You see, he has had lots of experience in this kind of work. He taught trade schoo' for, I think he said, ten years and had, besides, eight years" experience as manager of a general garage before joining the staff of the Motor Mechanic School. He takes great ]3ridc in the shop and its work."

In another conversation which Lieutenant Randall had with White, the latter brought up the housing problems of the civilians at the School.

■"That's something that has worried Ward as well as most of the other men. Housing conditions are very unsatis- factoiy, and, most of the men don't seem to have time available to do anything to better themselves. Mr. Ward's family isn't living here with him simply because they can't find any suitable living cjuarters in the town. You may have heard him complaining about 'those damned money-hungry boarding-house keepers who are profiteering on their rotten hash and their dirty rooms.' He's always doing it. He takes what time he can get to go fisliing. He loves it, you know, and knows all the streams in the state. Of course no one is allowed to use the ones on the camp reservation, even though they are supposed to be a lot better than any of the others risrht around here."

MOTOR MECHANIC SCHOOL — PART III

During his first week in the shop Lieutenant Randall had several talks with Mr. Ward. He finally brought up a subject which had been on his mind since the first day.

"Since coming here, Mr. Ward," he said, "I have realized how little I know about mechanics. Would you be able to give me a short course, say, two hours a day? We could use one of the empty shop bays."'

Mr. Ward, obviously jjroud to display his teaching abilities, readily agreed, with the result that he spent almost two hours every day with Lieutenant Randall. Lieutenant Randall thus not only learned something about mechanics but through their conversations he got to knov\ Mi. \Vard personally.

Before many days luul passed, the subject of fishing came up, and Mr. ^Vard expressed regret that because of the long hours he had to spend at his work he found it im- possible to get to his favorite trout streams, some distance from the camp. It occurred to Lieutenant Randall that it might be possible for him to obtain a license for Mr. Ward to fish on the military reservation through which several streams ran. With Claptain Downing's help, he was success- ful in securing the license, and Mr. Ward expressed great pleasure in receiving it.

.At one of his meetings with the shop su|)erintendents and their assistants, Lieutenant Randall brought up the question of the poor housing conditions, which he had pre- viously discussed with Mr. Ward. He found that the situa- tion was a general source of dissatisfaction among the em- ployees. Lieutenant Randall took the matter to Captain Downing. Captain Downing obtained the help of the post authorities in securing more adequate housing for civilian

employees at the school, and as a result of this action, Mr. Ward's family was able to join him. Similar arrangements were made for several other instructors in all four of the shops.

Notwithstanding the frequent conversations which Lieutenant Randall had with Mr. Ward and the fact that his relation to the latter as well as to the other instructors seemed to be developing smoothly, he noticed that Mr. Ward continued to visit Colonel Hopkins or Captain Down- ing almost every day. Lieutenant Randall decided to dis- cuss this matter with Captain Downing. Consecjuently, in one of his talks with the latter he said, "Mr. Ward comes here nearly even' day for a talk, doesn't he?"

Captain Downing replied, "Yes. he does. He is very regular."

Lieutenant Randall said, "It bothers me a little. Of course it was entirely appropriate when he was in charge of the shop, but it seems to me that now he is in danger of side-stepping my authority as superintendent. The next time he comes in I wonder if you would be willing to ask him to talk the matter over with me. since, after all. I am his immediate superior?"

Captain Downing agreed to cooperate. For a few days after this Lieutenant Randall tried to keep himself available so that Mr. Ward could find him easily in case there was anything he wanted to talk about after one of his visits to C^aptain Downing.

Thereafter, Mr. Ward visited the Headquarters office less and less frequently; in fact, on one occasion, remarked to Lieutenant Randall that Claptain Downing, whom he greatly admired, was not doing such a good job as he had previously.

Active Clubs

For Mothers

I IN THE spring of 1939 sour- dI the women attending Mothers Weekend activities at Ohio University enjoyetl their brief acquaintance so much that they thought it would be nice to con- tinue it away from the campus.

Although not alumnae, they shared the mutual interest of having children attending the Unixersity, and they talk- ed over the possibility of de\eloping that interest into an organization that might benefit their sons and daughters.

At least one of these mothers, Mrs. Harry D. Mullett of Youngstown, was determined to carry through with tlir idea. Soon after returning home she contacted other mothers of students from the Youngstown area, and the first Ohio Uni\ersity Mothers Club was organized that June.

Since that time three similar clubs have been started, two in Cleveland and one in Dayton, and all four now carry out active programs which have been expanded even beyond the early hopes of Mrs. Mullett and her friends.

As a companion organization to the Alumni Association, the Ohio Univer- sity Mothers Club works toward two

goals. One is to maintain a spirit of friendliness and understanding between the University and parents of students, through cooperation with student and faculty organizations. The second goal is to serve parents by discussing com- mon problems and sharing ideas.

The degree of success enjoyed by the Mothers Clubs is evident in the growth of all four groups.

When the Youngstown club met for the first time at the Public Library in 1939, 22 enthusiastic members were in attendance. Mrs. Mullett was elected jjresident. to be assisted by Mrs. J. K. Jolly, vice president; Mrs. J. \'. McMahon, secretary; Mrs. E. S. Ranks, corresponding secretary; and Mrs. Russell Van Nostran, treasurer.

In June of 1956 there were 75 mothers in the club, and the cinrent president, Mrs. Kenneth M. Carlyie expects the membership to reach 100 before the end of this school year.

This success is more than a result of increased enrollments at the University. Many mothers become so interested in tlie organization that they maintain membership long after their children have graduated from Ohio University. Mrs. Mullett has remained active, ser- ving last year as recording secretary, al- though her daughter. Virginia, now Mrs, Fletcher H. Herrald III, graduat- ed in 1940.

Club Projects

Such interest and growth of the Youngstown Mothers Club is easily imderstood in view of the manner in which it is accomplishing its two-fold objective.

At each Uni\ersity \acation period students from Yoimgstown are assured of good transportation home because

the Mothers CUub charters a bus for the occasion. The same is true when it is time for the students to return to the campus.

Busses are also chartered by the club to bring parents to Athens on Mothers \Veekend and Dads Day.

.Since 1950 the club has carried out a jjroject to raise money for a scholar- ship, presented annually to an out- standing student from the Youngstown area who wishes to attend Ohio University. The scholarship was originally set at $100 per year but has since been increased to $150.

The club meets once a month dur- ing the school year for a luncheon at the YMCA. One of the highlights of the year is "Dads Night"' when the inen are invited to a dinner meeting. For this special occasion, the Ohio Univer- sity Alumni Association cooperates in helping make arrangements for a speaker from the campus.

At the first fall meeting each year mothers of students attending Ohio Unixersity for the first time are wel- comed as guests. Many of them become members of the club.

Officers are elected at an annual picnic, held this year at the home of Mrs. Henry T. Onions. The 1956-57 leaders, in addition to Mrs. Caryle, arc Mrs. Matl J. Chajjman, vice president; Mrs. Jo.seph S. Sovak, recording secre- tary; Mrs. Ben Rome, corresponding secretary; and Mrs. Patrick Henry, treasurer.

Mothers who are now or have been associated with the group feel that they are accotnplishing what they set out to do 1 7 years ago. With a steady growth in activities and membership marking the history of the club, they have good reason for being proud.

Roundup

OU FOOTBALL COACHING STAFF have spent many hours checking rrovies of the team's performance, feel that Improvement at end of season points to better days ahead. Left to right In the projection room ore Cliff fHeffelfinger, varsity line coach; Stan Huntsman and Bob Wren, assistant freshman coaches; Jim Snyder, varsity bacltfleld coach, and Frank Richey, head freshman coach. Standing ore Kermit Blosser, varsity end coach, and

Carroll Widdoes, head coach, behind projector.

CO-CAPTAINS were elected to lead the 1957 Ohio Uni\ersity football squad when the annual Fall Sports Banquet was held at the University Center No\ember 19.

Named by their fellow teammates to succeed outgoing captain, Dick Perkins, Elyria guard, were Warren halfback. Jim Hilles, and Tackle Ron Frnik. also of Elyria. Both are juniors.

Perkins \\as also selected by his teammates as the most \aluable player for 1956. Larry Buckles, Logan junior full- back, earned the coaching staff's accolade of '"outstanding back." The new captains. Buckles and Perkins were each awarded trophies for their honors.

Reflecting on the past season, in which the Bobcats wound up with a 2-7 mark. President John C. Baker made this prediction:

""The foundation has been laid for a great football team at Ohio University and in a few years we should be near the top in Mid-American Conference comjjetition. "

He prefaced these remarks by stating that "'if we are weak, we should examine our weaknesses and repair them."

■"It would be tragic if we became complacent on losing - It is bad on one's character," he continued.

Dr. Baker cited that three things come out of ad\er.sity. These are:

""Fundamental and basic coaching, spirit and coopera- tion, and you find oiU who your friends are."

He amplified the latter statement by saying that, even with a losing season, Ohio Uni\ersity made many friends by the inspired play of its team.

The 2-7 finish, which found the Bobcats tying Marshall for fourth place in the final Mid-.'^^merican Conference standings, was the worst record for an OL^ football team since 1912. That year. OL' had a 1-7-1 record. It was also the first time since 191/i that the Bobcats had not won more than two games. And it was Carroll \\ iddoes" first losing season as a college football coach.

Part of Buckles' outstanding back honor came from the fact that he was leading ground-gainer with 387 yards gained in 76 tries for a 5.1 yard average. New Co-Captain Hilles was second in this department with 331 yards gained in 82 carries for an even four yard a\erage.

Don McBride, .senior quarterback from Columbiana, led the passers with 30 completions in 75 attempts for a .400 percentage. He had six interceptions, gained 355 yards pass- inar and tossed four for touchdowns.

Second in this department was Charles Stobart, junior qtiarterback from Middleport, who completed 16 of 37 for .432 percent. Opponents picked four of his passes out of the air but his aerials gained 175 yards and went for two scores.

Among the pass receivers, Walter Gawronski, senior end from Maple Heights, was the leader, with 10 caught for 1 1 7 yards and one TD. Halfback Tom Redman, a sopho- more from Waverly, was second in this category with nine catches for 131 yards.

Punting yardage was divided equally among three hooters. Kicking 1 1 times each din-ing the season were Bob Ripple, senior end from Youngstown ; Don Wirtz, senior fullback from Columbus, and Buckles. Ripple led with 394 yards, Wirtz had 391, and Buckles 355.

Wirtz also led the scorers, for the second straight year, with four touchdowns and 24 points. Second was McBride with three touchdowns and 18 points.

Reviewing the latter part of the season, the Bobcats found a new scoring punch in the last four games.

Starting with the sixth game, Louisville, OU com- piled totals of 19, 27, 27 and 16 points in the last four en- coimters. Prior to that, they had been unable to score more than 13 points in any game.

Part of the reason for this change was further develop- ment of the "I" formation, used for the first time against Miami.

Whereas the new offense did not function too success- fully against the Redskins, more work on it as the season progressed brought more variations and by the last game of the season, against Marshall, Widdoes and his staff had all backfield men indoctrinated to the new system.

The Big Green was the first opponent to see more than one Bobcat backfield unit run from the "I". Western Mich- igan and Bowling Green were subjected mostly to blasts out of the "I"" by a backfield directed by Quarterback Stobart. Myron Stallsmith, Salem halfback: Wirtz, and Hilles, were the main tormentors, along with Stobart against the Broncos and Falcons.

The Bobcats, however, did not use the "I" against Louisville, but still almost succeeded to defeat the Cardinals. A come-from-behind drive in the final 1 1 minutes netted Louisville two touchdowns to pull the game out, 25-19.

After scoring two touchdowns against Western Mich- igan off the "T" formation, OU blasted them off the field in the final six minutes with a pair of scores from the "I".

Against Bowling Green, onlv two touchdowns bv the

eventual MAC champs in the first quarter, averted an upset from the Bobcats.

OLI went into the second period trailing, 14-0. For the first time in the game, on the first play of the second quarter, they moved into the "I" and tied the score, before Bowling Green got a last minute touchdown on a long, des- ]3eration pass play just before the first half ended.

The Bobcats played them even after the first quarter, using the "I" almost exclusively.

Against Marshall, OV dominated the figures all the way and alternated "I" and "T" plays continuously, with three separate backfield units using both formations. With a more than layman's knowledge of the new formation, next year's team should provide some interesting moments, using both offensive setups.

Also honored at the Fall Sports Banquet were the cross countiy and soccer teams. Compiling a 2-5-1 record with foiu'th place in the conference race at Kent, the cross country group w^as coached by Jim Rolfes, a graduate assistant. Lead- ing point-getters most of the year were Frank Nixon and Wally Guenther. Fred Dickey, Bob Sawyers and Dick Sven- son also added some points.

The soccer team, in its first year of varsity status, com- piled a 1-5 record. Their lone win came at the expense of Ohio Wesleyan. Nine foreign countries were represented by the team personnel. This squad was coached by a graduate assistant also, Wilfred Berger.

A BUS TAGGED, "God help us," scifct'lu'd around a uant)\v Pakis- tan mountain road, and Margan't Robe, '52 Ohio University graduate, sat back tiying to accept the fatalistic attitude of the driver. She realized that Pakistani drivers feel ordinaiy precau- tions in driving aren't necessary because if God wills it. they'll be sate: if not. they will crash.

Miss Robe, of Athens, Ohio, spent almost four years in the country of Pakistan, where the basic philosophy ol the people and their religion is that God is responsible for exerything. The attitude can be evidenced in such a little event as the dri\ing of a car down a mountain road, or in such an important problem as the thwarting of progress.

In June, Miss Robe returned to Athens from Lahore. Pakistan, where she was sent by the Methodist Board of Mi.ssions. She was an instructor at Kin- naird College, a Christian school for women, where she taught chemistry lab, physical education, and Bible. .She also headed the Student Christian Mo\ement at the college.

""The girls attending the school." Miss Robe said, "include about 200 day students from the city of Lahore, and 100 students from the Punjab villages. These girls range in age from 1 .") to 20."

Miss Robe explained that most of the girls at the school were of Moslem faith. The girls attended this Christian college because it was a highly recom- mended school. The Moslem girls ac- cepted the requirement of attendance at two chapel ser\ices a day, and regi- stration in a basic Bible course.

"Even though this is a Christian college, the majority of the girls at- tending are wealthy Moslems," Miss Robe remarked. She said that the Mos- lem girls seem to hold strongly to their Islam faith.

■"The Moslem girls enter marriages ot parental choice upon graduation," Mi s Robe said, "and most of the C'hiistian girls will go out to teach. Cliils who do not enter the college are married at fifteen to mates of parental choiee."

.She e.x]3lained that women in Pakis- tan can not feel secure in their marri- ages as men can obtain divorces mereh by stating three times that they di\orce their mate. A strange custom dealing with marriage in the fierce Pathan moimtain triDes in Northwest Pakistan sets the price for infidelity at one nose. That is, any woman charged with in- fidelity has her nose cut off. Miss Robe emphasized that this is a custom peculiar to this one group.

"One of the reasons that poverty i=; so widespread,"" Miss Robe comment-

Mission in Pakistan

BY CAROL HERB. 52

ed, "is that business men expect and get up to 300 per cent profit on their goods. This makes Pakistan a very ex- pensive countiy in which to live. The majority of the people of the country eke out an existence on the minute re- turns they receive from share cropping for wealthy landowners. The average Pakistani has nine or ten children to support on his almost meaningless in- come."

Miss Robe reported that as yet mis- sionaries are accepted in Pakistan and ]3eo[)le arc tolerant of them. She teels that this telerance stems mainly from the fact that Pakistan has too many national problems to worry about mis- sionaries at the present.

"I, myself, found the Pakistanis a friendly people. On leaving, I felt a re- luctance in breaking the tie with a people I had worked with for four \ears, "Miss Robe admitted.

"One experieirce I had separate from my teaching was a work camjj experience near Delhi, India. Here a group of Indian yoimg people and American missionaries on the short

term program joined to build a church. The project was under the supervision of an agricultural missionary of the area. Boys dug and mixed mud, and girls carried it in pans on their heads. Rains caused the work to cease when the building was but half way finished. However, then the natives later were inspired by the previous work to finish the church and build a school, a school master"s house and a pastor's home. The knowledge of the villagers" work.'" she said, "was indeed rewarding to the yoimg people that had started the work.

.She coirsiders one of the most fascinating aspects of Pakistan the antiquity of the culture. She said that the country has three cities that flourished at the time of Abraham and are now 5,000 years old. One of these was the outpost of Alexander the Great.

This fall Miss Robe will attend Yale Divinity School on scholarship. Here she will study theology for two years, and then enter Wesley Foundation (college Methodist organization] work.

Training for Retailers

PROUDLY displayed by somt- of America's leading department stores are certificates which readily identify them to their business as- sociates as leaders in retail training.

The awards. gi\en annually by Anne Saum and Associates of New "^'ork, represent one phase of a busi- ness de\eloped by a graduate of Ohio University. Their recogni/etl significance in the field of retailing is an indication of the unusual suc- cess of this business.

When Aiuie Saiini graduated from Ohio Uni\ersity in 1927, she decided to enter the employ of her alma mater. For ten years she serxcd on the staff of the imiversity, orga- nizing and supervising the Service Bureau, and working toward an M. A. degree which she received from Ohio State University.

But the energetic OU akuuna had two driving ambitions which gradually grew in their ])ersistencc. One was a desire to live in New York City and the other was to find a business career in personnel work.

By 1937 this combination ot in- terests became too intense to resist, so Anne Saum made the logical move. She wem to New York Clity in search of a ]5ersonnel job.

In the year that followed she was with the public relations firm of Carl Byoir and Associates. Then she moved to Stern Brothers Depart- ment Store where she was iramed employment manager and later per- sonnel director.

The next luoxe was to the mecca of retailing, Macy's Department Store, and it was while serving as manager of staff training there that she got the idea which led to her present occupation.

Miss Saum was inqjressed with the number of store executi\es and manufacturers who visited Macy's training department seeking help with their own training problems. This convinced her that a market existed for a service specializing in personnel and training aid to irtail selling.

Backed only by her own con- lidence, she decided to go into busi- ness for herself. To her delit;lu, she discovered that a market did exist. and in 1951 she established the firm of Anne Saum and Associates. Training Consultants.

Since thai time the business has enjoyed a phenomenal growth. Clients include stores, manufacturers, and trade associations for whom

.\nne S.\rM, '27

.\nne Saiun and Associates sin\eys and analyzes store organization and personnel ]3olicy, then develops pro- grams to meet existing needs. The consultant organization installs these programs, conducting portions of them and at the same time prepar- ing store executives to carry on.

The firm also develops, prepares, and in some cases operates in-store programs for mamifactiuers. pri- marily to promote the sale of the luanufacturer's product through stimulation and education of the selling force. In addition, it conducts or participates in sales schools con- ducted by manufactiuers for their own salesmen.

About 250 leading department stores and specialty shops subscribe to a semi-monthly training and per- sonnel publication, Saum Digest. These client-subscribers attend an annual clinic in New York, at which time the Saum Digest Awards for outstanding training programs are ])resented.

But that is not all. The firm's in- terests also extend to students pre- ])aring for retail careers, .serving as retail training consultant and ad- visor to Tobe-Cobmn School for Fashion C'areers. Miss Saiun perso- nally conducts classes there.

In spite of the responsibility ol heading such a diversified consultant biisiness. however. Miss Saum some- how finds time to serve as president of the Republican \\'omen in Indus- try and Professions.

There can be little doubt that Anne Saum has fulfilled the ambi- tions that took her away from the Ohio L'niversity campus.
