Tuck School
Perhaps the biggest crowd in Room 8's history — it couldn't have held one much bigger - played shareholders last month at a simulated General Mills shareholders' meeting. Harry Bullis, General Mills board chairman, presided, and other company personnel present included Jim McFarland T'34, vicepresident in charge of General Mills' food division; Nate L. Crabtree, public-relations director, and Dean Belbas, his assistant; Richard E. Nutting, chief accountant, and "Miss Cream Pawff," a tres jolie French actress (real name Jacqueline Chambord) who helped M'sieu Boo-leese introduce General Mills' latest packaged mix (guess what it is). Back at Tuck for the event (from Macalester College, St. Paul) was former Dean Upgren.
Other recent returnees have included members of career panels on banking and financial management: Cliff Whiteman T'51, second vice-president of Guaranty Trust; Dick Greene T'53, security analyst for Eaton & Howard; and John Van Huyck T'56, treasury department, U. S. Steel; and production and personnel: Jim Gaylord T'51, division manager of Scott Paper; Parke Sickler T'54, personnel department, Campbell Soup, and Alex Athanas T'54, electronics department, General Electric.
Recent outside lecturers have included Robert E. Donaldson, field director of the Committee on Economic Development; John E. Jeuck, professor of business administration at Harvard Business School; and Stanley H. Ruttenberg, director of research for the AFL-CIO.
Mr. and Mrs. Ort Hicks Jr. T'50, attending an Oslo ceremony memorializing last year's anti-Red uprising in Hungary, looked so dramatically Hungarian that a Hungarian photographer for the Oslo Arbeiderbladet snapped their picture. It ran in three columns at the top of Page 1 under the caption: "Red is the blood in the streets of Budapest; it is the blood of young workers." Ort is assistant cultural affairs officer at the American Embassy in Oslo.
More international news: Peter Trinkle T'57 met Queen Elizabeth at a New York dinner during her recent visit. He was chosen by the English Speaking Union to represent all English students in this country.
And this has international implications, too, if you look hard enough for them: Bob Eigen '57, who interrupted his Tuck career to put on a uniform, won a certificate at Fort Dix, N. J., as "Outstanding Soldier of the Cycle."
The Tuck faculty keeps busy. Some of its recent activities: Mr. Hill attended the Conference of New England Deans at Boston College. ... Messrs. Frey and Davis gave the annual Eastern Conference of the American Association of Advertising Agencies a preview of their "Report on Advertising Agency Services and Methods of Compensation." ... Mr. Griswold chaired an American Management Association orientation seminar on capital budgeting Mr. Morrissey attended a GE seminar on budgets and measurements at Forest Hills Inn, New York. ... Mr. Quinn spoke to the Western Massachusetts Purchasing Association on "Purchasing Education in the U. S." He's also had recent articles in Electromechanical Design (on research evaluation) and Chemical and Engineering News (on measurement of research accomplishment).
The Tuck touch football team had a strictly un-type season; it finished undefeated, untied and - this may or may not surprise you - unranked nationally. Its victims included: For the dorm championship: Thayer (9-0); For the Dartmouth championship: Pi Lam (14-6); For the sheer heck of it: Harvard Business School (19-6).
