Everybody benefits
Cohen interprets
Honors program
By MARY iO STEWART
Emerald News Editor
The Honors College program benefits everybody—stu
dents, institution and faculty, said Joseph Cohen, director
of the Inter-University Committee on the Superior Student
Monday.
Cohen was on campus to meet with students already en
rolled in deoartmentalized honors and to advise the faculty
steering committee on programming for Oregon’s Honor
College.
The bright student, allowed to associate with his peers
;,n an atmosphere of excellence, not only becomes excited
about learning, but fires-up students outside of the program,
Cohen said.
Advantages to faculty obvious
He went on to say that institutions with an honors pro
gram can be made as high in quality as smaller, private pres
*ige schools, and the advantages to the faculty in working
with exceptional students are obvious.
The Inter-University Committee, established in 1958 un
der a Carnegie grant, is concerned with everything that is
planned or thought concerning the superior student, he ex
plained. It is the committee’s duty to contact and advise
institutions of higher learning that have, or are now launch
ing, programs for bright students.
Cohen said that establishing an Honor’s College such as
Oregon adopted in June of this year was not easy.
Problems tend to solve themselves
“Students are sometimes afraid that being in honors will
lower their grade average; some faculty are unhappy be
cause they think it will mean extra work; and of course,
some departments complain that it will interfere with their
own program and be ‘superficial’,” Cohen said.
But these problems solve themselves when the honors out
look is established at a University, he added.
“The honors outlook must be established in place of the
grade outlook. We are teaching our students to think that
good grades necessarily mean a good mind and that is not
true.
“The way most classes are conducted today, all the stu
dents learn is how to take excellent notes and regurgitate
these for an exam. The real fountainhead of all wisdom is
not profssors, but books. Professors should be instrumental
only in getting the students at the books and ideas,” he
explained.
Program steps listed
The ICSS advocates 14 steps in establishing an honors
program.
• Identify and select students of higher ability as early
as possible.
• Start programs for these students immediately upon
admisison to the University and admit other superior stu
dents when they are later identified by their teachers.
• Make such programs continuous and cumulative
through all four years.
• Formulate such programs in terms both of all the col
lege work for the degree and of the area of concentration,
departmental specialization or professional training.
• Make the programs varied and flexible.
• Make the Honors Program increasingly visible through*

Additions near completion at Emerald
A general expansion program
is near completion in Emerald
Hall to accommodate increases
in the admissions and counseling
offices.
The new addition is being built
at an estimated cost of $3,600, ac
cording to J. O. Lindstrom, busi- \
ness manager. The addition is
expected to be completed in De
cember. Staff personnel have also
been added at the admissions of
fice.
According to J. S. Carlson, di
rector of admissions and counsel
ing, the expansion program is a
direct result of an increase in ap
plications for admission.
5,311 applications were filed
for fall term compared with 4,697
applications a year ago.
“The increase in enrollment at
the University also necessitates
an increase of counseling facili
ties,” Carlson said.
He pointed out that the new
addition will enable an expanded
freshman counseling program to
be put into effect, and that there
will also be a more concentrated
graduate training program.
