Smith Would Retain Present College System By SADIE MITCHELL Opposing a plan submitted by Harry Beal Torrey, a former Stan ford instructor, to abolish the present college requirement system, and iri its place to substitute a phrely elective system, Professor S. Stephenson Smith, of the English department, said yesterday, “Under such a plan most students would be tempted to follow the line of least resistance, allowing only a little learning to seep in through the process of osmosis. “Students have been conditioned by 12 years of doing what they are required to do, and if sudden ly all compulsory education were removed, they would not acquire as much knowledge as they do under the present system,” he explained. Professor Torrey says, “Let the freshmen loaf . . . then place be fore them thoroughly attractive courses, and the same appetite which brought them to college will not allow them to abstain from consuming as many ideas as they are capable of digesting.” Professor Smith, however, be lieves that such a system would spread the range of knowledge over too wide a field, and it would make for nothing common in edu cation. “If the proposed system could get students to be indepen dent and self-directing it would be of great value, but it would be hard to put into practice in a state university,” he said. Professor Smith, who was per sonally acquainted with Torrey when the latter was an instructor at Reed college, said that the plan would be more likely to work if all university instructors were as vigorous, able, and interesting as Torrey was. “He practiced what he preached,” said Smith, “and he was a very successful, and inspir ing teacher.” She has never considered being an independent an obstacle to any of her personal accomplishments. The only advantages one gets being af filiated with a sorority are social, she says, and they are overrated. Clare is an authority on where to go on picnics, being an enthus iastic picnicker herself and hav ing lived all her life in Eugene. As busy as she is, she finds time for such pleasures and has some hobbies as well. 0 Likes to Play Piano She plays the piano during a lot of spare moments. She has never had a lesson but, to quote Clare, she plays with both hands. Clare claims she has no eccentric mannerisms that she knows of, but she hates for people to read newspapers while they eat. She loves to read a book while she eats but finds it very embarrass ing for a person to bury himself behind a newspaper. o Backseat Driver (Continued from page hvo) tators would see only the frontj and not the gaunt frame-work that was the back. And then “Joan of Arc” was I announced, and the brothers,! shoved her into the race. There j was a moment of confusion and! then suddenly pandemonium broke forth. “My god, what have we done!” the brothers gasped.
