Mitchelmore Assistant Night Editors—Joe Rice TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1928 Stepping Ahead Of the Crowd SWEEPING changes in the organ ization of lower division curric ula were ratified by the faculty when they met yesterday. Majors in the college, composed of students seeking liberal studies, will, as fresh men and sophomores, group them selves in four general classifications for broad background work. ,Stu dents in professional schools on the campus will retain their present status. I The lower division reform paves the road to mastery. The indictment persistently charged against the American system of loose popular education is that it produces super ficial and slovenly thinkers. Appar ently the time has come in this country’s development when the cri ticism can no longer be dismissed with a shrug. Without ‘sacrificing the policy of universal education, leaders are striving to add quality to the already much bemoaned nuitt Hktrs. Oregon is merely in step with other progressive institutious all over the country. The problem of maintaining mass accommodations for the American collegiate horde and of selecting its stellar Intellects, both processes op erating side by side on the same campus, is Herculean — Europeans say it is foolhardy. But that is just what the faculty is tackling. They mean to provide opportunity for un restricted growth for superior stu dents, while they minister to tho wants of the many at the same time. Some have wondered what became of the honors srhopl after its tenta tive overtures to the student body last fall. They would be surprised to know the success that this infant innovation has met. The point is that it is difficult for students ha bituated to the American respect of size, to realize that the genuine mer it of these reforms is measured in the achievement of the small group capable of profiting by them. Some have pointed out in derision that the Stanford individual-study plan has benefit ted only a half dozen since it was inaugurated. But they are unconscious of possible poten tialities among the six that would be more worthwhile cultivating than the total annual mob. The new lower division organiza tion of the liberal arts group will provide the basis for real mastery which the inadequacy of secondary schools has made necessary. The hodge-podge of today’s freshman and sophomore courses will, wo hope, be correlated so that students can grasp a sense of the unity and inter I relations of all knowledge. The^net tle and metal of the individual, in conjunction with the prospect of honors work in his chosen field dur ing his upperclass days, will tell the result. The faculty has come more than halfway. Value of Teamwork Is Shown by Sport THIS week will, see the close of another successful senson for an Oregon basketball team. 'One of the outstanding- reasons for calling the season a success is the fact that the Oregon team has upset the prognostications of the wiseacres who predicted that the Lemon-Yellow hoopsters would finish near the bottom of the list. Now, with two more conference games yet to be played, the worst , the Webfoot squad can do is to finish the schedule with six wins to four loses. But to lay the subject of relative standing to one side, there is an other aspect from which value may be derived; that of teanl play. This year’s basketball team has not performed consistently. There have been times when the men work ed together ns a harmonious whole and seemed less a machine composed ot five independent units. There wore times when the team appeared to disintegrate into live individuals with a unity of purpose but diver gent ideas about how to bring about its realization. Three games, counting the Whit man tilt, were lost on the home floor. In each ease, team work was hither lacking to a great extent be cause of a tendency toward playing the game alone, «r it was inferior to the brand displayed by the visit ing team. The contrast between a, team which works together and one which achieved unity hut for a few minutes at a time, was easily seen by most of those who watched the various games. Individual prowess is but occasion ally able to carry off the victory, whether it bo in the general game of life tor in the specific ease of a sporting event. Most of us are so endowed as to make it necessary that we learn to cooperate with the other fellow so that we may reach i our own goal. —W. 0.

PRESS LOUD IN PRAISE OF “ANGLE WORM’S REVENGE” New York Times: “This gripping serial of an angle worm’s struggle against poverty and broken arches1 tngB at the heart strings like a stump puller. The whole gamut of human passions is rtfn with the throttle wide open on unbanked cor ners. It has more real sand in it than Bow Jest, more grit than a barrel of scratch-food. Discuss the “Angle Worm’s Revenge” with your friends and fool them by ap pearing intelligent. ” Chicago Daily News: “No child under three should fall to read the heart-rending scene where the poor angle worm is crushed underneath his bicycle by the Ford caterpillar; later hie cruel revenge when he bores a hole in his rival’s soup bowl. Lord Nelson’s last comment on the Angle Worm’B Revenge was when he said, ‘England expects every man to do Ms duty.’ ” • * # TODAY’S GEOGRAPHICAL ' ANSWER “You passed us in your car yes terday.
