Obsolete Thinking
"a friend Of mine in WASH
ingtold told me that they plan
ultimately to launch a l00-ton
Telstar into space. People are
arguing about Federal aid to
education, but they are talking
in terms of brick and mortar
This is obsolete thinking in
terms Of education.
IF Government wants to
substitute education, let it put
these devices upstairs, and Their
put the proper equipment into
the classroomS so that we car
teach our children.
I'VE have 100,0 900 ballplayers
in this country, but only about
400 Of them are major-league
caliber, and the same goes for
our teachers. Why do we limit
this major league instruction
to so few students?
"UCLA has about six Nobel
prize winners. and they also
must be among the worlds
greatest teachers. Why not
have them give a series Of go
lessons via Telstar on elemen-
tary science?
Compared to them, our
teachers are minor leaguers,
but they can be the helpers OF
the Nations great teachers.
That is why I am not planning
clasSrooms In my school. 1t will
be a building full Of little the
aters, each with a plateau area
behind it for experimental
work.
Education Great Science
"All science today seems
aimed at the one science OF
weaponry, but education is the
great science; it is the cornu-
copia Of the human mind.
Always, we must live for
our children, for the future,
and I think 1t is as much a
tragedy for a man to lose his
hope as to lose his faith.
IF we lose hope, we pro-
claim that Christ's message
was false when he said the
Holy Spirit is coming to renew
the face Of the EARTH"
He said his planned high
school would answer much Of
the need for diversification ir

A pole vaulter like John Be-
litza, Maryland's first and only
15-footer, has his problems all
right-going up, coming down
and getting there.
If life is full of challenges,
a vaulter apparently is sad
died with more than his share.
Not that Belitza is complain
ing, but getting a vaulting pole
to a meet is almost as tricky
as using it. 1t doesn't fit in
cabs, isn't particularly welcome
in a crowd, and the men who
designed railroad cars and
buses obviously never had a
pole vaulter in mind.
Belitza is a sharp-featured,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-20

litza admits it has more whip
than the metal pole, but he
doesn't think his jumps, or
Uelses' 16-footers, can be at
tributed entirely to the new
stick.
"As long as everybody else
is using fiberglass, I will, too,"
Belitza says. But if they ever
rule against it, I think both
of us could return to metal and
do just as we'll. Don't forget,
I did 14-5 as a freshman with
a metal pole"
Belitza has considerable re-
spect for Uelses. They work to-
gether under George Butler, the
Terps' top-rated vaulting coach.
Although Don Bragg, former
record-holder, comes from his
home town, Belitza sides with
Uelses in the fiberglasS debate.
He calls Braggs' recent barbs
sour grapes"
With seven 15-foot jumps be-
hind him, Belitza now has no.
where to go but up. He still
has the remainder of the in
door season, all of the outdoor
campaign and all of next year
left. After that, though, he
can't predict. 1--WE got a girl

teams has become a cardboard
affair. Spingarn has beaten
Eastern twice, Eastern has
whipped Tech twice and the
Trainers have knocked off
Spingarn twice. /.
The so-called experts who
rate the teams weekly get little
help from coaches and other
observers, who refuse to pick
one over the other. All say that
If the teams played 10 games
against each other, the series
probably still would wind up
tied.
So the burden falls to Hardy
Pearce to devise a way to decide
which two will enter the tour
nament. He has a playoff in
mind, but he might as well
throw slips of paper up in the
air and choose the first two
that come down. -.

BELITZA'S LIFE DANGEROUS

well-built boy from Penns
Grove, N. j., who must take
all these problems in stride. He
has cleared Is feet 334 inches
already, the best ever by a COL
legian hereaboutS, and would be
the talk of the town if John
Uelses, the Marine from Guam
tico, hadn't burst on the scene
with 16-footers.
Belitza says he's not think
ing in terms of 16 feet now.
It'll have to come to me-" he
says. MY goal is 1876 this
year"
A vaulter by nature has to
be a rare sort, and BelitZa, only
a junior, qualities both physi-
cally and physchologically. At
6 feet 2 and 167 pounds, he
has speed, power and unusual
agility, plus an interesting out
look on his speciality.
1--WE played team sports" he
says, "but I like vaulting best
of all. You can only blame
yourself if anything goes
wrong"
From the day the vaulter
starts out, he challenges both
the law of gravity and the
odds. More things apparently
can go wrong than right. Be
litza's brother broke an arm
vaulting, but one doesn't think
of such things when he's clear
ing the bar.
You only worry when you
miss" Belitza says. IF you
land in the pit on top of the
bar there's a possibility of
twisting an ankle or picking
up a bruise. If your jump is
good, there's nothing down
there but a soft landing in
SaWduSt or on form rubber"
Getting the vaulting pole to
a meet may provide more of a
challenge than the 15-foot bar
rier to Belitza these days. He
has a date Saturday in the Ma
tionals in New York. To get
the stick there, he'll ship it by
railway express or carry it with
him, which means going to the
last car of the train and
pushing it through from the
back.
Once in Gotham, Belitza will
have two alternatives. He can
hang out of a taxi, clutching
the pole daringly, or he can
walk" it. when you walk
with it," he says, you've got
to have someone holding the
end so it doesn't swing around
and hit people. No matter what
you do, people stare"
People also have a tendency
to criticize. Belitza uses the
fiberglass type of pole that
Uelses used to stir up the sea-
sons biggest controversy. Be-
