Fieldhouse Votes Near 400 Mark
By STAN HAMILTON
The Kansas ballot campaign to name the nearly finished fieldhouse in honor of Phog Allen, 69-year-old basketball coach, now has pushed near the 400 mark, with 363 persons favoring the proposal.
Among the latest endorsers to have Allen's name on the sports arena as soon as possible is Otto Schnellbacher, former Jayhawk football and basketball great, who said, "Count me in. I'm all for it."
Wes Santee, KU's all-time track star, has added his support, as have Jim Miller, past president of the KuKu club; Betty Lou Watson, chairman of the pep and rally committee, and Jim Camerion, KANU sports director. A bloc of votes was sent in by the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
When the Lawrence city commission last week named the street passing in front of the fieldhouse "Naismith road" it seemed to rule out the chance of having a dual place on the new building, as most of the 31 other "voters" have advocated.
It hardly is conceivable that the board of regents, which reportedly has taken no action whatsoever on naming the building, would attach Dr. James Naismith's name alongside that of Allen since the street now carries his name. Dr. Naismith invented basketball in 1891 at Springfield. Mass., and later was a KU instructor for many years.
When a large number of ballots is collected the Kansan will present them to the regents and ask that group to bypass a tradition against naming state buildings for living persons.
This "tradition" was broken several weeks ago when the new physical science building was dedicated "Malott hall" in honor of Deane W. Malott, former chancellor and now Cornell university president.
Allen's name long has been associated with KU, surely more than is that of Mr. Malott. In sportscircus when KU is mentioned the next thing thought of is Phog Allen.

--man is going to be truly effective in such a situation, he must possess certain human qualities in addition to his technical ability. That is, he must really like people and be sincerely interested in helping them solve their problems. He must—in every sense of the word—be an "ambassador" who can handle human relationships smoothly and effectively.
Delbert N. De Young received a B.S. in Chem. Eng. from the University of Wisconsin last June. Now he is working for an M.S. degree. By asking questions, he's learned that many excellent industrial opportunities are passed over because they're not understood by the average undergraduate.
Clarence "Ding" Bell answers:
Del De Young wants to know:
What sort of work is involved in technical sales at Du Pont?
Clarence D. Bell, B.S., Chem. Eng., Univ. of Pitts, (1937), joined DuPont as a chemical engineer immediately after graduation. He began in the research group of the Ammonia Department, progressed steadily through assignments on nylon and a number of other products. Today he is an Assistant Director of Sales in the Polychromicals Department.
Well, if I said "All sorts," it might sound a bit vague to you, Del, but it would be very close to the truth. That's because technical sales work at Du Pont—bearing in mind the great diversity of products we have—is broader in scope than a lot of other technical assignments, and requires additional talents.
We have found, though, that if a technical service
BETTER THINGS FOR BETTER LIVING ...THROUGH CHEMISTRY
Let's suppose that one of Du Pont's customers is having technical difficulties—needs help in adapting "Tefton" to a specific gasketing application, for example. When our sales representative calls, he naturally must carry with him the engineering knowledge that's the basis for sound technical advice—data on flexural fatigue, chemical passivity, and deformation under load. The customer is receptive. He wants to make a better product, increase his sales, reduce costs—or do all three. Naturally, he's looking for reliable technical advice and intelligent actions that apply to his specific conditions. With the cooperation of the customer and help from our own research people, when necessary, the problem will sooner or later be "licked."

Take the depth suggested by this simple example, Del, and multiply it by a breadth representing all the challenging problems you'll run into with Du Pont's diversity of products. If your slide rule isn't too far out of alignment, the resulting area should give you some idea of what I meant by "all sorts" of work.
Let me emphasize one more point. The importance of effective sales work is fully understood and appreciated at Du Pont! In the past, sales work has been one of the active roads to top management jobs. There is every reason to believe that this will continue in the future.
Are you inclined toward sales work? There are four main types of sales activity in the Du Pont Company—technical sales service, sales development, market research and direct selling.
