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

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.

"It's tough," Lee sympathises, "for
a college senior to feel confident about
alhoosing a job. 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

signments in all phases of the work
-manufacturing, purchasing, pro

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

Blow of work through the plant where

It stick."

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
