Carnegie Corporation Commends OREGON RANKS HIGH AMONG UNIVERSITIES By I)on Weu/.l Emerald Feature Writer Oregon i.s ono of four universi ties In the nation commended by the Carnegie Corporation for its college teacher training program in the social sciences, according to Eldon Johnson, dean of the liberal arts school. "The purpose of the program is to train people who wish specific ally to teach at college level,” he said. "Before this, people worked toward I’h.D. degrees, and when receiving these degrees, were sur prised to find that they had be come teachers." Oregon is receiving aid from the Carnegie corporation of New York under a five year plan. "While still in the experimental stage, the program i.s succcsxfi. Johnson stated. Aids I'niversltles The Carnegie corporation grants aid to universities and this money is to be used in financing doctor ate work in these social sciences: economics, history, political sci- j ence an<l sociology. Oregon does i not use Carnegie funds exclusively i for these fellowships, but uses them to augment the normal $800 to $1000 fellowship. By adding grant funds to these fellowships, Oregon is able to offer $1000 fel lowships to doctorate candidates. Another purpose of the program is accelerated development of the social sciences, which are far be hind the physical sciences in devel opment. Oregon's application for grant aid said that social sciences are still in the gasoline engine era, while the physical sciences are in the atomic and jet propelled age.! The report said there must be bal- ! • nee between the two. “Before this program, doctorate i candidates specialized too much in one field,” Johnson asserted.

The plan calls for two years of study and a year of internship teaching during which the thesis is written. There are twelve studying under the Oregon plan: eleven men and one woman. “Standards ar" high,” Johnson said, “and v,e get fellows from every part of the country. Some on our doctorate candidate roster hoast master degrees from Colum bia, Wayne, Nebraska, Illinois, Kansas and Northwestern univer sities and from the Yale Law school.” Doctorate candidates doing their year of intern-teaching are placed at: two at Oregon State college, and one each at Lewis and Clark. \\ hitman college, University of Nevada and North Dakota Agri cultural college.

The aluminum plants are not re sponsible for the power shortage, Bonneville Administrator Paul J. Ravers said Monday. He explained they depend on interruptible power electricity which can be cut off whenever water behind the Colum bia river hydroelectric dams i9 low. Curtailment of power use is a result of the worst drought in the region’s history which has reduced stream flow over Columbia River dams.
