Drama Club Solves
Technical Problems
A revolving stage and facial
masks solve two of the problems
confronting the technical crew of
the College Flayers' production
of O'Neill's "The Great God
Brown" to be presented Tuesday
through March 16, Dr. Edwin
Hansen said Monday.
Requiring 12 different settings,
the play has produced special prob-
lems in scene changing. A revolv-
ing platform divided by a wall has
been devised as a solution, Dr.
Hansen said. This will enable the
crew to change one side while the
other is turned to the audience.
Another unique aspect of
O'Neill's drama is the use of
masks by some of the principal
characters. Used to show differ-
ent phases of the characters' per-
sonalities, they are molded from
the students' faces.
The technical crew confronted
by these problems include Don
Graham, Kuth Gill, and Mildred
Williamson on sound; Bob Martin,
Bob Baruch, and Charles Vater
on lighting, and Baruch, Martin,
Ben Naylor, Chris Nichols, Charles
Dunn, Eliseo Martinez, Rene Gar-
cia, and Dawn Belden working as
stage irew.
each other satisfied with their
pledgeships.
Miss Wheat, who is a member
of Delia 1'si Kappa, honorary
women's physical education fra-
ternity. is pledging Green Jackets,
while Miss Gay, who is a Green
Jacket, is pledging Delta Pti Kap-
pa.
Wart Wheat generously offers
her roommate some Wart candy,
while Worm (iay is busy offering
Miss Wheat some Worm candy.
Each morning the coeds put
their respective ribbons in theii
hair. The Warts are recognized by
their green and white ribbons,
while blue and yellow are being
worn by the Worms.
Probably the most confusing
part of this double trouble is the
curtsies the two pledges must do.
As each of the coeds curtsies, she
must say, "Good morning, Miss
—," regardless of the time of
the day.
The roommates agreed to a
compromise in that their respec-
tive pledgeships will not exist
while both girls are in their dor-
mitory room. Miss Gay has a
slight edge over her Wart room-
mate, in that the Worm pledgeship
will be over first.

WART SUE WHEAT and Worm Sue Gay offer each other candy

What's it like to be
AN IBM SALESMAN?
Selling to management Is perhaps the bett training for management, and
it's the reason Gene McGrew joined IBM. Today, he possesses a
thorough practical Business Administration education, responsibility, an
excellent income—all at age 27. Read about an unusual career.
You're Gene McGrew ... high school
footballer and class officer. You won a
scholarship and went through Prince-
ton in the top third of your class . . .
managed varsity track.. .commanded
an artillery battery in Korea . . .
"When yon put a lot of preparation in-
to your career," (jene McGrew feeln,
"you should expect a lot of opportunity
in return."
Meets IBM representative
Out of the Army in 1953, Gene met
an IBM representative. It sounded
like opportunity. A few interviews
later, Gene was sure. Although sales
was only one of the many jobs he felt
he could handle, this kind of selling—
(IBM machines are as much an idea
as a product) — promised to occupy
every talent he possessed. Betide*,
he'8 learned that "no other form of
training produces ho many lop husi-
nexH manayerx."
II I
Makes first sal*
Gene's first sale, to a bank, required
thorough study; consultations; a writ-
ten recommendation. The climax
came, Gene remembers, when he
submitted his analysis to the vice
president and received that gentle-
man's signature.
Then bopsn * 13 months' training
P' : ,im marked by merit salary in-
creases. First—8 months' schooling
and observing operations in Pitts-
burgh (Gene's hometown). Next—2
months' studying the applications of
IBM's electronic data processing ma-
chines in business, science, govern-
ment, and defense. Followed by 7
months' practical training in the field,
with customer contact. Followed by
IBM's famous course In selling meth-
ods. Finally, assignment to a sales
territory near Pittsburgh, responsible
for about 14 companies and their ex-
ecutives who used IBM equipment,
and a dozen or so mors who were
logical prospects for it.
Dltcuttlng cult*man IntteNolton
Gene's latest sale was to s large
industrial corporation. He's now pre-
paring this customer for the installa-
tion ol an IBM electronic system
designed to simplify financial pro-
cedure; inventory and other systems
problems. At27,Genefindshimself top
man on an important account. He's
educator, salesman, administrator.
How would Gene define selling?
"We feel the best way to sell is to be
able to consult. The best way to con-
sult is to know something of value
your customer doesn't. IBM's 'some-
thing of value' is profit through
automation."
Gene's thoughts on competition:
"The entire Office Machine Industry
feels the lead pencil ia the biggest
competitor. You've no idea how many
time-consuming clerical jobs can be
mechanised, thus freeing people for
important, creative jobs. IBM's suc-
cess In the field is due to servica,
knowledge, 'know-how'."
Doos Oene find his youth
• handicap?
"It's what you know—not how old
you ars—that counts. I deal with
sxecutivss twice my age oa a basis of
equality, because they respect my
training and my business judgment."
Future wide open
"I'm getting married soon, and I was
amazed to realize how much security
IBM's growth (sales have doubled on
the average every five years since
1930) and benefits represent. But I
think my real security lies in the
chance to use my own ability fully
and freely. There are nearly 200
Branch Managerships, 15 District
Managerships and executive positions
in 5 other divisions ahead of me. IBM
is introducing new machines, systems
and concepts so fast that, every Mon-
day, we have a 'new idea' meeting
just to keep up."
IBM hopes this message will give
you some idea of what it's like to be a
salesman at IBM. There are equal
opportunities for E.E.'s, I.E.'s,
M.E.'s, physicists, mathematicians,
and Liberal Arts majors in IBM's
many divisions—Research, Product
Development, Manufacturing En-
