Pijty-third year of publication Volume LIV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, JANUARY », lur/.i NUMBER IK Little Early Change Seen Following Board Action By Jackie Wardell Emerald Annan) Newi Editor The 'two proposals approved at the recent Oregon state board of higher education meeting will have little immediate effect on the Uni versity of Oregon, according to Lyle Nelson, director of public services. These proposals would open all five schools of higher education to both elementary and secondary teacher training and provide four years less one quarter of teacher education at Portland State col lege. The latter proposal is the first step toward creating a sepa rate degree-granting institution in Pot Hand. The present plan would see Port land State students taking at least one term of work in residence at one of the other state institutions of higher education. This school would then grant the degree. Nel son said that any increase in en rollment here because of such a plan would be negligible. Nor will a four year institution at Portland cause any decrease in enrollment, according to Nelson. By the time the program is put into effect (it's due to be present ed to the people in 1955 under the Oregon law that there can be no state institutions outside of Marion county without a vote of the peo ple), colleges will be experiencing the upsurge in enrollment that is now being felt in the grade and junior high schools. The addition of elementary teacher training to the Oregon cur riculum will necessitate an ex panded practice teacher program. Approximately S12.000 the first Students to Face Fee Fine Monday More than 1000 students will have to complete registration steps by noon Saturday or face a late payment fee of $5 Monday and $1 for each day thereafter, according to Clifford L. Constance, registrar. Approximately that number of the expected enrollment has not yet paid fees for winter term. Jan. 19 is the last day to regis ter, cancel or change courses. Stu dents who drop or change coifrses after that date will have to re ceive a grade. Athletic cards may be obtained upon presentation of the winter term student body card at the athletic office in McArthur cojirt. The cards may be picked up until 5 tonight and anytime thereafter. A winter term athletic card is nec essary for admission to the basket ball games this weekend with Washington State college. Churchill Talks With Truman WASHINGTON — (TP) — Prime Minister Churchill talked with President Truman for an hour and 20 minutes at the White House Thursday. The 78-year-old British leader described the talks as very pleas ant, but gave no hint of their con tent. The White House said the meeting was a friendly, social ses sion. yfar of the program and $32,000 ] the second year will be needed for I the expanded program at Oregon. The most expensive part of the practice teaching will be added the second year of the program, there fore the increased cost that year. An additional $3000 will be needed for books for the library, Nelson said. Under the new plan students A/ho are freshmen this year will be able to major in elementary educa tion by the time they are juniors. Present sophomores will have to take an extra year of work in or der to receive an elementary edu cation degree at Oregon. A proposal to allow the three colleges of education—at Mon mouth, La Grande and Ashland— to grant liberal aits degrees was defeated by the board by a five to three vote. According to University Presi dent H. K. Newburn such a major break in the'present system which allocates liberal arts to the Uni versity should not be made with out a more extensive study and the opening of the entire system of allocations.
