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. "Un
der the now plan only half of a
doctorate candidate's time is
spent in his major, and the rest is

Oregon began participation in
the grant program in the fall of
HM9. 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

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.

Other regional industries affect

Meet with Governors
Top-ranking officials of the DE

governors of the Northwest states
and representatives of all region
power companies to work out en
forcement details of the order.
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.
