The nation's lead plays his favorite ahol season. Left to right, if lie's clear he'll mal Track Beg Meet At R By Hobert Talbert Sports Writer Coach Weems Baskin, whose Carolina cindermen have domi nated the track scene in South Carolina for the past four years, was sitting at his desk at the "Round House" looking over his completed track schedule for the 1957 season. "We open up in a real big way," he said. "That'll be an indoor meet in Raleigh on the 23rd of this month. All of the Atlantic Coast Conference schools will be repre sented plus 10 or 12 schools from all around the South. Georgia Tech, Florida, David son, Auburn and a host of other good squads will be there. They are also going to have a freshman meet going on at. the same time for the A.C.C. teams'." Coach B3askin digressed for a minute and a big grin spread across his features as he talked about David Coates, a transfer student who has a habit of toasing the 16-lb. shot putt constantly over Wthe 56-foot marker. Star of Tomorrow "Coates is probably the finest young prospect in the U. S. today. You know he is only 19 years old. Right now he is preparing to enter the New York Athletic games in Madison Square Gardens. That'll be this Saturday (tomorrow). Now he's going to run up against *some good competition there. "Tbhen next week he has been invited to enter National A.A.U. meet, also in Madison Square Gar dens, where he will have to com pete against the nation's top shot putters. All of the Olympic weight team will be entered. This will give the boy some good experi ence, and he can pick up plenty of tips from the competition." Coates is ineligible for varsity competition because of a confer ence rule prohibiting transfer students from playing until a year after their transfer. He will have three years after this season in which to "putt" Carolina on the ANNOUNCING GRAND OPI FEBRUARY 15th FRIDAY - SATURDA Remember .. .

P.C. Here March 20 The first home meet will be on March 20 at the newly-constructed $25,000 field behind the Athletic Department on Rosewood Drive. "We will be running against Presbyterian College and they usually come up with a fine, scrapping team," Baskin said. "On March 25 we meet Sime (Dave) and Company from Duke. This should be one of the best meets of the year staged here. Then we travel to Gainesville, Fla., for the Florida Relays on March 30. This is one of the big gest meets in the South." The track team will journey next to Charleston where they will enter a triangular meet with The Citadel and the University of Georgia Bulldogs, on April 6. On April 13 the Gamecocks go to Chapel Hill where they meet the Tar Heels of North Carolina. "Our first triangular meet here will be on April ?0. Virginia and N. C. State are entered in this meet. Then on April 27, Clemson will come down for a dual meet," Biaskin said. State Meet On May 3 and 4, the state track meet will be held in Clinton. Car olina has won this meet for the past four years. "We close out the season with the Conference meet in Chapel Hill on May 10 and 11,"' Baskin said. When asked about prospects for the coming season, Baskin scratched his head and reared back in his swivel chair and said: "Well, we've got four returning lettermen, Conway Snipes, our dash, pole vault, and broad jump man; Zeke Bartulski, who can throw the javelin better with a cast on his arm than anyone in the state; and George Thomas and Larry Patrick in the dashes.

"I believe sonme of the studenta lost interest in track when we hac to take the squad out to Fori Jackson to practice and for the meets.

Baskin went on to talk aboul the fine interest and support thi students and people of Columbia have in track. "Columbia is one of the finesi town in the South for supporting track and field meets.

For four years he's been trained to be critical and delib erate about making decisions. Now, faced with the biggest decision of all, he has only a few months in whleh to attend job interviews, separate the facts from the propaganda, and select a companS-not to mention passing exams and graduating at the same time." Lee, with a B.S. in Industrial Ad ministration, came to IBM in 1958. S tarting as a Technical Engineer in Production Control, he was immedi ately assigned to the General Manu facturing Education program-a Deesning e p.p.rw.ek sysem 10-month course with rotating as signments in all phases of the work -manufacturing, purchasing, pro duction. In addition to four weeks of formal classroom study, he also spent two in the Boston Sales Office, calling on accounts with the IBM salesmen. Lee's career was temporarily inter rupted by a two-year hitch with the 'Air Force in Korea. Back at IBM In 1955, he ha. since been pro moted to Production Control Engi neer. His present job is to design paperwork systems to insure a smooth Blow of work through the plant where the famous IBM electronic computers are manufactured. "It takes crea*iue engineering ability to design these systems," says Lee, "and it takes admninistratipe ability to 'sell' a sys tem to higher management and make It stick."

Four years ago, Yale senior Lee I Today, as a Product Control Enginee Lee reviews his experience and give to you in taking the first, most knpor How to seleet an employer To the college senior faced with a job decision, Lee has this to say: "Pick your employer by this simple test: 'Is the company expanding fast enough to provide adequate scope for your talents and ambitions? Is it interested in your long-range man agement development? Will it treat "Seling" th. system you as an indiuidutal and match your abilities with the most challenging assignment?'" For his part, Lee feels IBM has met this test. Sine 1968, he has seen new plants open, dozens of new prod ucts evolve, hundreds of new man agement positions created. Greater authority, responsibility and reward have come his way. And he knows ther will continue, for IBM sales Reogio of indIiMuel meridt have been doublington the average every five years since 1980.
