Few Students Cheat
A little over half of students
polled by the Associated College
Press throughout the nation be
lieve that very few students make
i practice of cheating on tests and
examinations.
A similar poll conducted by the
Kmerald, questioning 30 students,
showed that 30 per cent of those
interviewed feel that very few stu
dents at Oregon cheat.
Personal Poll Showed 17 Per Cent
• A personal poll conducted by the
student discipline committee last
year showed that 47 per cent of
Oregon students have cheated at
some time.
Answers received at Oregon
showed a slight tendency toward
a belief in a greater amount of
cheating here than results showed
in the national poll. Here are the
comparative figures:

Liberal Studies
Decrease Noted
By Ai Karr
A partial swing in American
campuses away from the liberal
arts—especially the humanities—is
the trend at Oregon, though to a
lesser degree. Eldon L. Johnson,
dean of the college of liberal arts,
has indicated.
A survey of 100 representative
institutions conducted by the Kew
York Times showed that in com
parison with enrollment ten years
ago proportionately fewer students
are in the liberal arts than in the
technical and professional fields.
More in Humanities
Johnson said the same trend ap
plies here, more in the humanities
than in the sciences, social sciences
or professional schools. A general
decline in.enrollment is true of all
areas, he said, and a decline in
staff members in the liberal aits
and humanities has beer, observed.
Chief cause of the shift, Johnson
explained, is the emphasis of tho
age. at least for the present, or. the
technical, materialistic and voca
tional aspects of education' increas
ed by the last war. He pointed out
that employers, while expressing a
desire for educationally well
rounded college graduates, in the
ory, tend to hire those with imme
diate vocational skill in practice.
This is not true of all employers,
however, he said.
special Situation
Johnson said one reason for the
drop in faculty in the humanities
at Oregon is the special situation
in service courses for freshmen ami
sophomores. This is best illustrated
in English composition, he said,
where many sections are offered,
and a substantial chop in enroll
ment means the release of a cer
tain, number of staff members.
By contrast, he pointed out, a
chop in economics majors means
smaller upper division classes, .but
