This year Senator Neuberger offered schol­ larships to two Portland State students interested in political science. At the left, he speaks in the auditorium during the pre­ sentation of the awards. At the right, his wife Maureen presents congratulations to the recipients, Duane King and Bob Levin­ son. The Senator has always been an active friend of Portland State. The purpose of the scholarship presentation was to stimulate the interests of the stu­ dents today in the important field of politi­ cal science. Previously, the Senator had appointed Dean DeChaine, former student body president, and Al DenBeste to posi­ tions on his staff. After the scholarship assembly, Mr. Neu· berger and wife ate lunch in the Portland State College Center with Dean Bursch and President Millar. "Dick", as he was known to many, was always willing to donate much time in developing the younger generation into future leaders. Portland State will mourn along with the entire State of Oregon at the loss of one of its finest gentlemen. Richard Neuberger has long been a friend to this school. A man respected by all who met him, he had no troub!e winning friends and perhaps did more than any other person to build the name of Oregon in the nation's eyes. We give our deepest grievances to his wife Maureen and wish her success in any future endeavors she might undertake. 167
