On the Alumni Honor Roll

Aggie alumnus prominent in the field of adverti ing i David Earle Robin on of the USAC vintage of 1911, now director of research at Pedlar & Ryan> a national adverti in g agency located at 250 Park Avenue, ew York City.

Immediately following his graduation, Mr. Robinson accepted an intructorship in history at the College, which he held for three years before resigning to do post-graduate work at the University of Ca lifornia. He returned to the USAC in 1916 as assistant profe sor of history and in charge of the department of information ervice.

Professor Robinson was a member of the Col lege faculty until 1926, at which time he left Logan for ew York City to enter advertising-a field in which he had long been intere ted. In September of that year he became a member of the staff of the Federal Advertising Agency of Iew York, where he became director of research and general manager. Heresigned this position in the fall of 1941 to accept his present post.

In 1912 Mr. Robinson married Edith Bullen, a former Aggie and sister of A a Bullen, ' 10, past president of the Alumni Association. They have three children.

Mr. Robinson's present activities, aside from his position as director of research of Pedlar & Ryan, attest to the high regard in which he is held by the advertising profession: member and past president of the Market Research Council , a charter member of the American Marketing Association , lecturer in adverti ing research at Columbia University, chairman of the Board of Governors of the ew York Council of the American Association of Advertising Agencies, with membership on several of its important committees.

ECTIC might well be the one word chosen to de cribe the professional career of Thelma Huber, an out tanding Aggie alumnus in the field of home econom ics, now Home Economi t for the Farm Security Administration with the responsibility of upervi ing the home management program of that organization in all state west of the Mississippi.

After receiving her bachelor of cience degree, Miss Huber taught school at orth Cache High School, came to the College in 1931 long enough to secure a master's degree, before being appointed home demonstration agent for the USAC Extenion Service- Morgan and Summit Counties.

Four years later she accepted the post of Associate Utah State Director for Rural Rehabilitation Corporation, which is now known as the Farm Security Admini tration. In 1936 another position called and Miss Huber returned to her native state, Arizona, as Home Management Specialist for the University of Arizona Exten ion Service.

A major step towards her present position came in 1939, when she received an appointment as Home Economics Consultant for the District of Columbia. Two years later Miss Huber returned to the west to hold in quick succession the title of Home Management Specialist in Utah (FSA), Supervisor of Home Management Program in Utah, evada, California and Arizona. Three months ago she was transferred to her pre ent po ition at the ational Office of the Farm Security Administration with headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.

That's a bare outline of the activitie of this career girl.

By this statement, W. W. Christensen, '23, and now superintendent of schools at Idaho Falls, doe not mean to di parage formal education. Fa t is, he is an ardent booster for USAC and for choo l generally. But he believe that education is the endproduct of many and varied experiences.

His background i made up that way. Ranch hand in Idaho, cowboy in Montana, freighter in Nevada, athlete and coach, teaching experience "on every level from fir t grade to enior college," high school principal, superintendent of school at Burley, Idaho; Price, Utah; and Idaho Falls. To him, these experiences are rich in ed ucational values.

But, according to his testimony, he has never learned to ay no without any yes in it. Consequently, he has served terms as city counci lman , president of Rotary, president of Teton Peaks Boy Scout Council , president of the Idaho and the Utah High School Athletic Associations, and" of two Idaho District Education Associations. This month he finishe a term as president of the Idaho Education Association.

As the pattern of America's response to the emergency of total war gradually unfolds itself, the place of the Land Grant colleges in the defense and preservation of our nation becomes increasing! y clear. Activities at the Utah State Agricultural College during recent months typify this developmeot. Even before the war actually came to America, students a nd faculty members with advanced military training were drawn into the armed forces of the nation. Forty-six men were graduated with Reserve Officers' commissions in the class of 1941. All were inducted into the Army of the United States on the very afternoon of Commencement day.

This action was hut a portent of what was to come. This year 120 more men are engaged in advanced military training. As usual, all freshman and sophomore men are enrolled in the basic military course.

Recent we.e ks have seen men from both the Navy and the Marine Corps assigned to the College for technical training in advanced radio work. The total a ll otment for such individuals wi ll reach three hundred by the end of the spring quarter. It may go to five hundred in the near future. Moreover, there are some indications that the College may soon be called upon to train sti ll larger numbers of individuals in other specialized fields of combat duty. Utah State is contributing without reservation to the nation's first line of defense.

With respect to the second line of defen!'e-the production of materials and implements of war-the College again has found itself in a favored position to erve. Shops that for fifty years had trained individuals for the peaceful pursuits of industrial life saw themselves transformed almost overnight to a twenty-four hour day of training men to build the tools of war. For nearly two years now this intensified program has been under way. Aided by special grants of State a nd Federa l funds, it is constantly expanding. The importance of mathematic , physics, chemistry, and all phases of engineering in this program is being increasingly recognized. ( Continaed on page 14)

ow at 5 :30 every morning 130 ailors reluctantly step out onto the bas~etball floor of the old Smart gymnasiUm as the Sergeant calls " hit the deck." The ditty bag at the head of each bed contains their toilet article while their two undress blues, one dress blue, two white uniforms and P. coats are stored in lockers arranged about the wa lls of the gym.

Their huge canvas sea bags, normally used for this purpose, are stowed temporarily awaiting the next move.

Following approved navy practice , the sailors do their own laundry and must pass inspection at least twice a week from the toes of their shining shoes to the tops of their well-scrubbed hats. Then there is a littl e matter of keeping all their anchor-topped buttons sewed on, which is no small job since there are thirteen buttons, symbolizing the original thirteen co lonies, on the trousers alone.

All navy men are required to write to their folks at least once a week and contrary to the old stock jok~ about the sailor who couldn't swim, they are required to swim 100 yards in two minutes, with scheduled practices taking place in the gym pool.

Dean of Women Mrs. Caroline M. Hendricks is in charge of social contacts for the service men, assisted by the Associated Women Students and th e U.S.O., which recently opened downtown.

Each month a get-acquainted party is given in honor of the newly-arrived ailors and marines. Each of ll women's organizations on the campus are given an alloted number of invitations and asked to rotate them (Continued on page 8) Seven

Sailors on .the campus were mv1ted to attend the annual Junior Prom, held April 10, with Dean Hendricks assisting the hi ue jackets in getting dates with the coeds. Also the townspeople are cooperating in the effort to entertain Uncle Sam's boys by inviting them to their homes for Sunday dinner.

Commander of the Utah State Iaval Unit and the only commissioned officer in the group is Carlos J. Badger, Lieutenant ( jg) U.S.N. Lieutenant Badger was born at Salt Lake City and grad uated from the United States aval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, in 1922. His first year of active duty was served on the battleship U.S.S . California which at that time was the flagship of the Pacific fleet. The next year he was transferred to the U.S.S. Argonne, a transport which operated between ew York and Chinese ports. He served the remainder of his time on the destroyer U.S .S. Truxtun and retired in 1928.

Lieutenant Badger was an attorney in Salt Lake City before he was called back into active service. He has four sai lors on his staff : W. A. Lacy of Logan , aviation chief machinist's

Since the marines work with the navy on board ship but act separat~­ ly as a landing force, they have theu own records, supplies, and officers, who are: J. W. Comer, first sergeant; A. I. Rice, sergeant (T.W.); B. J .

During Chief Lacey's years of service he was in orth and South America, Australia, Russia, China, Iceland, and the Philippine Islands. He served on battleships, destroyers and aircraft carriers.

During his years in civilian life, after he retired, Chief Lacy wa an aviation instructor at the San Diego State Coll ege and was head of aeronautics four years at. the San Diego Vocational School. He came to Logan August 15 last year and is head of the aeronautics department.

the Aggie campus were born in 21 of the United States and one in the Dominion of Canada. They enlisted in nine states in the Middle West and came from over 50 different occupations. About 40 percent of this group are married and several have their wives here. The average age of these sailors is 27 to 28. The second hundred blue jackets and marines are considerably younger.

The majority of the navy men have been in the service only since January 30, 1942, and have had some contact, either professionally or as a hobby, with radio or electricity.

George Palmer, Vernon " Red" Thornburg, and Robert Daniels, all three former broadcasters in the Middle West, are carrying on their radio work in Logan, having charge of a weekly all-sailor program broadcast each Sunday from station KV U (Logan) between 2:30 and 3:00p.m.

These three are a lso in charge of entertainment for the naval unit at the downtown U.S.O. center.

Palmer formerly broadcast over a three tation hook-up in Cincinnati, Ohio, including WOW, WSAI, and WL WO, the latter being a short wave propaganda station heard all over the world. He graduated from the University of Missouri with a major in journalism, then went into radio work. He spent a season at Lake Placid acting in a theatrical stock company and has held an amateur radio license for several years. Thornberg was an act sports broadcaster, also from WLW in Cincinnati, while Daniels broadca t from WDSM in Duluth, Minnesota.

Writing a weekly column in " Student Life" and in general acting as public relations men for the naval unit are Michael J . Whalen and orman Stewart.

Gray Scholarships Aid 355 Students to Attend ColleB,e in Utah /

Sponsored by U. P. Railroad

•'

Founded on the twin philosophies of giving worthy boys and girls a helping hand, and the recognition that the Union Pacific Railroad has certain responsibilities of service to the communities it serves, the Carl R. Gray Scholarships, founded by and named for the late president of lhe U. P. Railroad Company in 1922, have aided over 2500 boys and girls in the 11 western states to complete a coll ege education. The scholarships are for the amount of $100 each, which is paid on the winners' college tuition. Eligibility for the awards include outstanding 4-H boys and girls and Future Farmers of America.

Of the 2500 scholarship awards, approximately 1500 have been given to 4-H club members and 1000 to Future Farmers. In Utah, 355 awards have been made, with 277 being claimed by 4-H boys and girl .

scholarship holders comes to rail road officials. Most of the winners follow agricultural pursuits or occupations closely allied with agriculture. Regardless of whatever field of activities they have entered, a very high percentage have become outstanding leaders, and good citizens always.

Fred Kesteler, of Salt Lake City, traveling freight agent, voiced the belief of his company that funds expended for scholarships returned many fold in the satisfaction of seeing young men and women grow into leading citizens.

Mr. Gray was deeply interested in boys and girls, particularly the boys and girls who were reared on farms and on whom he always said America would and could depend for its leadership and the bedrock of sound principles of good citizenship. The records of service and growth of each scholarship winner bears out this belief and faith. In setting up the

scholarships, Mr. Gray said that wherever a man or a woman succeeds in this life, someone in a responsible and influential position is lending a helping hand and giving encourage· ment to those on the climb.

In making his first official an· nouncement after assuming the presidency of the Union Pacific Railroad in October 1937, Mr. Wm. M. Jeffers stated that the scholarship awards in agriculture and home economics would be continued with the contin· ued object in mind of achieving good citizenship and rural leadership of high quality.

In a recent address at the Utah State Agricultural College, Joe Jar· vis, Supervisor of Agricultural Development of the company, said that the scholarships are now as much a part of the Union Pacific System as the rolling stock, the tracks and the yards.

DR. WILLARD GARDNER DISCUSSES SCIENCE IN FIRST FACULTY ASSOCIATION LECTURE Chosen to present the first annual USAC Faculty Association research lecture was Dr. Willard Gardner, '12, professor of physics at the College and distinguished scholar in the field of soil physics. The lecture, entitled " The Scientist's Concept of the Physical World," was .delivered at a specia l assembly, Wednesday, April 22.

Summarizing his discussion, which has been printed for mailing to friends of the College and important scientific libraries all over the world, Dr. Gardner said, " The sun continues to rise and set and the microscopic world of perception in which dwelled the men of antiquity, the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Arabians, the Greek , continue to be the world in which we, the men and women of 1942, try as best we can to I i ve, sometimes at peace and sometimes at war. " As a physical world it is relentless and without emotion. It is but a part of a vast universe that transcends it.

Ez8ht Times Around the World INCE September 29, 1931 , when a regular College S .. broadcast first went on the air over KSL, to the present time, College professors, in making the trip to Salt Lake City and back as special speaker , have traveled a distance equal to eight times around the wor ld at this latitude, which is just under the 42nd parallel. During this time the management of KSL has been very courteous in complying with many requests for favors, has given the broadcasting time free and has exhibited an excellent cooperative spirit for the 690 weekly programs, usually broadcast at 12:45 p.m. on Saturdays.

C. Lester Pocock, Director of the Department of Public Relation s, fi gures that an a ve rage of 2,400 words per program script have been spoken. That runs for the 690 time up around 1,656,000 words.

DEB YOUNG GUIDES TRACK SQUAD THROUGH SUCCESSFUL SEASON Despite the loss of such ace performers as long and lean Don Anderson, the Big Seven's top broadjumper, and fast-stepping Paul Brown, sprinter, the Utah Aggie track and field squad, under the tutelage of Coach Delbert (Deb) Young, had one of its best seasons since Farmer cinder championship years of 1925, 1926 and 1927.

Intramurals Another colorful and uccessful intramural season at Utah State coneluded in May with Sigma Chi tucking away its second Fraternity League champio¡nship, as Wellsville again dominated in the Club loop.

The Sig Chi's won in a walk away, whi le Wellsville had to wait until the cone! us ion of softball and tennis, the final sports of the year, before claiming the title in this Circuit.

In the Department League, a merry fight continued right up until the end as in the Club Division, with the Foresters and Engineers battling for the top honors held a year ago by the axe-men.

Track Coach Deb Young and Members of His Squad Left to right- Ralph M. Maughan, Bums Crookston, Chris Liston, Coach Young, and Dale N elson.

Aggie Tennis Team Fails Pre-Season Predictions Coach Perce Smith had an apparently stronger Aggie tennis team than those of the past few seasons, but Utah University and B.Y.U. also came up with net squads more talented than usual, with the result that the Farmers were again forced to take a back seat in the Utah collegiate circuit.

In their first meet the Ags were within a match point of winning a doubles contest twice that would have given them a 4-3 win over B.Y.U., at Provo, instead of losing the meet by the same score.

Dale Lewis, o. 1 singles player. showed spurts of good tennis in hi matches, but his play was rather inconsistent, and the same was true with Keith Trane, the No. 2 singles performer for the Farmers. Sophomore Mac Maeser showed great possibilities in the No. 3 slot, as Captain Evan Baugh usually worked the lone singles encounter for the up-staters.

Lewis and Sophomore Sterling Bench paired in No. 1 doubles to show as probably the Aggies' stron gest entry, although Trane and Baugh did well at times. Baugh al so paired with Maeser as one doubles team with Trane teaming with Dale Maughan.

Glen Maughan worked in the doubles wh il e not with the track team. Despite this season's showing, however, the morale of the squadsmen has been excellent.
