PORTLAND SCHOLARSHIP DAY OCTOBER 25, 1969 1:30 PM PORTLAND CIVIC STADIUM NCAA COLLEGE FOOTBALL PROGRAM 50c v4' m * ( p H u C 'Z i/ c iK C j i - JOINT COUNCIL OF TEAMSTERS NO. 37 13 the 1969 vikings PRESIDENT, GREGORY B. WOLFE, is top administrator at Portland State University, and as such, com­ mands the attention of the community for both successes and failures which surround the vast aura of activities in which its 20,000-populace participates. Trials and tribulations being directly proportional to the power controlled and importance of decisions made, one would guess that Dr. Wolfe's work day must at times cause him one of the highest of numerically-valued headaches as illustrated by the familiar tele­ vision commercial. Nevertheless, President Wolfe seems to thrive on this challenging role, one in which he is charged, more than anyone else perhaps, except for those in like positions, of bridging and bettering the generation gap so prevalent in today’s news. It is to this role of arbitrator and administrator that the President has brought deep experience and knowledge. Dr. Wolfe came to the University a year ago from Washington D. C. where he had served four years as director of the U. S. State Department’s Office of Research and Analysis for American Republics. He simultaneously was professorial lecturer in the department of economics at the American University. Prior to that, Dr. Wolfe was Federal Negotiator of the Joint Transportation Commission for the national capital region, directed the Latin American program of the Committee for Economic Development for three years, and between 1957 and 1961, he was executive director of the Greater Boston Economic Study Commit­ tee. President Wolfe earned his baccalaureate degree at Reed College and received both his master’s de­ gree and doctorate from Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR J. NEIL “SKIP” STAHLEY, the guiding hand of the steadily progressing Portland State athletic program, has been embroiled in the task of placing PSU sports at its rightful position since 1964. Skip is intent on the importance of athletics in our society today, and he has so convinced the Portland business community, that it has formed a body comprised of influencial executives charged with the responsibility of raising scholarship funds to get all sports, particularly football, off the groundwork of mediocrity. It is through his leadership that we at Portland State feel assured that the Vikings are but a step away from competing athletically, as well as academically, with the other major universities of the west. Skip's background in the game includes coaching positions at Idaho, Washington, Harvard, Brown, Delaware, Toledo, George Washington, Western Maryland, and the Chicago Cardinals professional team. He graduated from Penn State in 1930, taking a master’s from Columbia University in 1933. At Penn State, Stahley was a three-year letterman in football, lacrosse, and basketball and was chosen to play for the East in the 1930 Shrine Game in San Francisco.
