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.’ ”
