Blake Suggests Teaching Method Change
»y VIVl/IN WII.SON
Kmernld SUIT Writer
Stimulated by questions from
Die audience on subjects ranging
from libraries to integration of
public schools and including u
question on integrated libraries
Walter Blake, candidate for
state superintendent of public in
struction. snoke for nearly two
hours on Wednesday.
Blake proposed “academic re
form" by changing the methods
of teaching reading and social
studies, and expanding physical
science and physical education
programs, among other areas
Members of the audience asked
him about segregation of minor
ity groups and the poor; “Social
inequities are irrelevant to the
school situation. The school is an
entirely different environment.”
Through what he called an
achievement oriented program in
public schools, "achievement
would offset home problems to
some degree,” Asked If the
school had any obligation to mi
nority groups and poor, Blake re
plied that the schools are only
obligated to offer an opportunity
for education.
Questioned further as to the
role of the teacher in this po
sition, Bljlke said, "I don’t be
lieve the emphasis should be on
teachers. I think the teachers
should be taught subjects and
taught to teach subjects.” He
said that they should be left rel
atively free of the socialization
process.
Use of Example
When he was asked how he
would improve leaching of pa
triotism and cooperation, under
what he called "attitudes,” Hlake
replied the use of precept and
example would be used. He said

at Stanford today.
Beall, who is editor of Com

Career Preview for Juniors Only
Juniors who are top students will have an unusual oppor
tunity next summer to evaluate life insurance selling as a
career through a specialized summer work program in our
agency.
Those selected will receive valuable technical, business, and
sales training through active participation in the daily acti
vities of ihe agency. This is full-time, salaried work under
direct management supervision.
Mr. Englehart will be on the campus on May 11th to inter
view interested juniors. Please contact the Placement Office.

a subject should be taught "ob
jectively” by a teacher. He add
ed, “A good teacher docs the
best he can do with the facts
at hand.”
Student Recital
Scheduled Today
Two sopranos will perform a
variety of selections during a stu
dent recital at 4 p.m. Sunday at
the University School of Music
auditorium.
Sandra Olsen of Woodburn and
Jill Hardin, Eugene, seniors in
music, will be featured.
They will be assisted by Cath
erine Ann Henke, Eugene, piano;
Janis Potampa, Eugene, and Viv
ian King, Granville, Ohio, cello;
Victor Hill, Pittsburgh, Pa., harp
sichord; and Lanetta Carter, La
Grande, flute.
The program will include solo
performances of works ranging
from the 15th to the 20th cen
turies. Miss Hardin and Miss
Olsen will also join for a duet
of Francois Couperin's "Lamen
tation of Jeremiah.”
Miss Hardin will sing works by
two composers who are her per
sonal friends—Ralph De Coursey,
professor of piano in Calgary, Al
berta, Canada, and Ted Stern, stu
dent of composition at the Uni
versity.
The recital is open to the public
free of charge.
Blake was asked about his be
liefs in the extent of local control
over the educational system.
"Should a local community be
allowed to teach its own cul
ture?” Blake answered in the
affirmative. "If that culture in
cludes segregation, should the lo
cal culture be taught?” Blake re
plied, “Yes, at the local level.”
No Action on Segregation
Asked what actions, if any, he
would take concerning desegre
gation in Oregon schools, if he
were elected, Blake said, “As su
perintendent, I wouldn’t take any
actions against segregation. It's
not the schools' problem."
At two different points Blake
used examples of his own up
bringing and schooling in the “an
tebellum South.” He received his
education in Maryland.
Blake specifically discussed the
position and role of the state su
perintendent of public instruc
tion.
He began his speech by urging
the voters present to vote “No”
on ballot measure number two
which proposes changing that
position ton an appointive rather
than an elective post.
Qualified Oregonians
Later asked about the best type
of system at the local level, Blake
agreed that an elected school
board and an appointed superin
tendent would be a working sys
tem. Questioned further wheth
er the state post should be an
appointed position, thus drawing
in further candidates from other
[ state*, Blake raid electing a per
; *on to the post is the “best alter
| native.” He went on to say, "as a
j matter of fact, we have plenty of
! qualified people in Oregon.”
Asked what would happen if
Blake were elected to the post
and ballot measure number two
were passed at the same time,
Blake replied, “I’d be out of it.”
The Young Americans for Free
dom sponsored his appearance.
Markets Leafleted
To Support Strike
Friends of the Farm Workers,
an arm of Students for a Demo
cratic Society, will leaflet major
supermarkets in the Eugene area
Friday evening as a part af its
campaign in support of the De
lano grape strike.
The leaflets will ask shoppers
not to buy S4cW canned goods
and TreeSweet canned juices,
both brands marketed by Di
Georgio Corp., one of the major
| growers in the Delano area.
The Eugene action is a part of
the nationwide boycott of princi
pal products of DiGeorgio Corp.
DiGeorgio has refused to recog
nize or negotiate with the Na
tional Farm Workers Association,
the farm workers’ union.
Friends of the Farm Workers
will make picket signs Thursday
evening. All persons interested
in helping to leaflet the stores
are asked to meet at 3 p.m. Fri
day at the Student Union.
Here are 7 knotty problems
facing the Air Force:
can you help us solve one?
1. Repain In space. If something goes
wrong with o vehicle in orbit, how can it
be fixed? Answers must be found, if large
scale space operations are to become a
reality. For this and other assignments Air
Force scientists and engineers will be
called on to answer in the next few years,
we need the best brains available.
2. Lunar landing. The
exact composition ot
the lunar surface, ai
well as structural
and propulsion char*
acteristics of the space
vehicle, enter into
this problem. Important study remains to
be done—and, as an Air Force -officer,
you could be the one to do it!
3. Life-support biology. The filling of
metabolic needs over very extended peri
ods of time in space is one of the most
yiiy, fascinating subjects that
Air rorce scientists are in
vestigating. The results
promise to have vital ram
ifications for our life on
earth, as well as in outer
space.
4. Space orientation. The orbital prob
lems of a spacecraft, including its ability
to maneuver over selected points on the
earth, are of vital importance to the mili
tary utilization of space. There are plenty
of assignments for young Air Force physi
cists in this area.
5. Synergetic plane changing. The abil
ity of a spacecraft to change altitude can
also be crucial to space operations. Where
but in the Air Force could Sc.B.'s get the
chance to work on such fascinating proj
ects right ot the start of their careers?
6. Space propulsion. As our
space flights cover greater
and greater distances, pro
pulsion-more than any
thing else—will become the
limiting factor. New fuels *
and new propulsion tech- i
niques must be found, if we
are to keep on exploring
the mysteries of space. And
it may well be an Air Force
scientist on his first assign
ment who makes the big
breakthrough!
7. Pilot performance.
Important tests must still be
made to determine how the
pilots of manned aero
spacecraft will react to
long periods away from
the earth. Of course
not every new Air
Force officer be- e ... --—_I
comes involved in research and develop
ment right away. But where the most ex
cmng advances ora
taking place, youngs
Air Force scientists,
administrators,
pilots, and engineers'
are on the scene:.
