To Raze Old Administration Building
The death knell for the 58-year-old former Admin
istration building, which officed the last seven chancel
lors, was sounded Saturday by the University Board of
Regents.
The building at 11th and R Streets is being removed
as part of the plan to provide a more suitable site for
the $3 million Sheldon Art Gallery.
The Woods Charitable Fund gave the University a
$250,000 gift for the construction of the adjacent Woods
Memorial Art building, which in effect will replace the
classroom space being lost by the removal of the Admin
istration building.

The Board awarded the contract to raze the building

submitted the low bid of $4,141.
Erected in 1905, the former Administration building
housed the offices of the Chancellor, Registrar, Comp
troller, Student Affairs, Purchasing, and Personnel until
1958, when the New Administrafion Hall was con
structed. Since 1958, the old two-story building has been used
for classroom space by the architectural department and
also for the mail room and telephone switchboard.
The contract calls for completion of the demolition
in sixty days. Business Manager Carl Donaldson said he
did not think the work would begin for another two
weeks. t

Quiet College Campuses
Breed Stress, Pressure
Palo Alto, Calif. (LP.)
Once quiet college campuses,
like their surrounding society,
are becoming centers of in
tense emotional stress and
pressure, according to John
Black, director of Stanford
University's Counseling and
Testing Center.
"For the student, the pres
sure to achieve intellectually
is the culmination of the
stress he has been under
since elementary school
days to obtain admission,"
states Black, who is also an
associate consulting professor
of psychology. "For vast num
bers (e.g., over 85 per cent
of our male students), the
problem is "not simply to ob
tain an A.S. but to qualify for
graduate or professional
school.
"To quit school, or to flunk
out are no longer reasonable
options, as they were when
most of us were in college;
they are as unacceptable as
a dishonorable discharge
from the service or a felony
conviction.
"Twenty years ago, those
who cared studied, and got
University Will Participate

The Academy of America
Poets has selected the Uni
versity as one of 23 Ameri
can universities and colleges
to participate in its yearly
$100 Poetry contest in an ef
fort to "promote student in
terest in poetry," according
to Bernice Slote, professor of
English.
Miss Slote will be in charge
of the contest to select the
best poem or group of poems
by a regularly enrolled grad
uate or undergraduate stu
dent. "This contest will be ad
ministered through the Eng
lish Department along with
other contests," said Miss
Slote. "We will set up a board
of judges to choose the out

each year a number of se

added.
"Whenever possible institu

the prize," said Miss Slote.
"I imagine the fact that Karl

one of the reasons we were
chosen. It is big recognition
to our school and our depart

Peace Corps Test
Will Be Saturday
A special on-campus place
ment test will be given Satur
day for University students
planning to apply for Peace
Corps service beginning this
summer.
The test will be given from
8 a.m. to noon plus an op
tional hour of examination
from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Dean G. Robert Ross, Uni
versity liason officer with the
Peace Corps, said that the
Peace Corps will be inviting
thousands of applicants to
train this summer for proj
ects in fields of education,
community development and
agriculture.
The examination is non
competitive and is used pri
marily in the placement of
successful trainees.
To apply for the test a stu
dent must fill out a Peace
Corps questionaire, available
in Student Affairs, 207 Ad
ministration. A registration card which
must be picked up in Student
Affairs before 5 p.m. Friday,
will indicate where the test
is to be given.
good grades; those who
didn't played. Today, or to
morrow, everybody cares,
everyone studies, but the old
grading curve hasn't changed
much. The result can only be
more intense, self - serving
competition and more temp
tation to succeed by hook or
crook, more hostility and anx
iety. "For the faculty, the pres
sures are equally great. They
are faced with more and
brighter students. Up to a
point, brighter students are a
blessing; beyond that point,
they can be a challenge and
a threat.
"In our universities, facul
ties are under great compul
sion to do research and to
publish. More and more ad
ministrative work is required
of them, managing research
contracts, supervising gradu
ate programs; for many men
of scholarly temperament,
administrative work is unus
ually stressful.
"One of our deans com
mented last week that the
average assistant professor
today does more administra
tion than the average depart
ment head did twenty years
ago. By and large he does
not enjoy it and it reduces
his resources for teaching
and advising.
"The appalling problems of
those charged with managing
college plants, budgets, fund
raising, faculty recruitment
and the like are too obvious
to require elaboration. What
is important is that the more
harried the faculty and ad
ministration, the more ser
ious and concerned the stu
dents, the greater the poten
tiality for unhealthy conflict,
both covert and overt, be
tween them.
"When obviously bright
students criticize the teach
ing, champion a professor
whose contract isn't being re
newed, complain about the
'sick call' aspect of the health
service, demand membership
on university committees
these potentially constructive
expressions of adolescent en
ergy tread on sensitive toes.
"To handle such problems
constructively requires a re
spect for students, an under
standing of them, and a ma
turity and patience that the
administrator who already
feels pressured may not be
able to display."

'Cushion Recoil" provides a
dramatically smoother ride
In 1963 Ford-built cars
The challenge given Ford engineers was to design suspensions
that would permit wheels virtually to roll with the punches not
only in a vertical plane but fore-and-aft as well. Conventional
suspension systems provide only a partial solution to road shocks
by limiting wheel recoil to an up-and-down motion.
The solution? Exclusive Cushion Recoil suspension design in all
Ford-built cars for '63! Cushion Recoil, with cushioning action
in a fore-and-aft plane as well as vertical, smothers the jars and
jolts of rough roads, adds to your comfort, safety, and driving
pleasure. Even the thump of freeway tar strips is reduced, and
on deeply rutted roads you experience better control of the car.
Furthermore, your Ford-built car is spared the wear and tear of
road-induced vibration.
Another assignment completed one more example of engineer
ing excellence at Ford and new ideas for the American Road.
