Fi?lstpr.r.uard. Eugene. Oregon 4B Sunday, February 21, 1960 County Vote Could Create 'House' Fund Lane County residents could vote to establish a county histori cal fund to acquire and preserve property of historical interest, a Eugene gathering was told Tues day noon. Mrs. Olga Freeman, county treasurer, told members of the new "Save the Cartwright House Assn." that an election to estab lish a historical fund can be call ed when petitions have been received that contain the names of at least 8 per cent of the county's legal voters. The association met Tuesday to discuss methods of acquiring the 107-year-old Cartwright House gouth of Lorane. The structure may be razed this spring by its owners unless funds are obtained to preserve it. Mrs. Freeman, a member of the association, said creation of a county historical fund would be one means of obtaining funds to finance a preservation program year after year. According to the law which guides the establishment of a historical fund, a tax levy to fi nance such funds cannot exceed one mill.

'Other School Systems May Follow Portland's Lead' Curriculum Expert Here for Talks By RALPH OI.IVE Of the Kesister-Guard A study of the curriculum in Portland's high schools may have a strong effect on other schools through Oregon in the years to Jet Sets Record NEW YORK (UPI) An Air India international Boeing 707 jet-liner Friday set an unofficial Scattle-to-Ncw York non-stop rec ord of four hours and 34 minutes. It was six minutes less than the previous record set two months ago by a Sabcna airliner. This opinion was expressed in Eugene last week by Albert R. Kitzhaber, professor of English at the University of Kansas (on leave), who conucted the study. Kitzhaber discussed the implica tions of the Portland study in an interview, before he began a series of talks and conferences with University of Oregon faculty members. "If the recommendations of the study work well in Portland," Kitzhaber said, "other school sys tems might well try them, too. Portland has been the leader be fore in such areas as the gifted children program." The curriculum study, common ly called the Kitzhaber Report, is a 700-page volume. It recom mends grouping students accord ing to their aptitude and ability, stressing the content of courses, and lighter teaching loads. The study wai started over a year and a half ago at the request of the Portland School Board. It was financed by $110,000 from the Ford Foundation's Fund for the Advancement of Education, and $30,000 from the Portland School District. Nine Orgeon col lege presidents cooperated in the study. Recommendations of 50 college professors were utilized in revision of college curricula Kitzhaber explained that mem bers of the committee felt college courses had to be revised, too, be cause, as high school course con tent improves, college freshmen and shophomores will demand higher quality. Already, he said, some students particularly those in accelerated programs in high schools have complained of an intellectual letdown in their first year at college. One of the main points in the Kitzhaber report is that teachers should be specialists in the sub ject they teach. At one point, the Kitzhaber report quotes a Texan who said "You can't no more teach what you don't know than you can come back from where you ain't been." The report stated that too many courses were concerned with ad justment to living situations, rather than hard study of a speci fic subject. A combined course, that tnkes in literature and social studies, was subject to special criticism. Kitzhaber said Thursday, how ever, that he doesn t believe I r ? i I t . . S ,V : ; i J. XHHaA-',. ' ' ' . ' -V' ; : ' " '1 4ly ' ' V ftynel Mim.ti'i , - V v "iff. yJ ALBERT KITZHABER Special Consultant teachers should go back to the practice of making students mem orize, then recite. Good teaching is still important, he said. A firm grasp of the subject matter is not enough in itself," Kitzhaber said. "But the lack of it will insure poor teaching." Nor would he negelect social development, Kitzhaber said. But he does believe that subject con tent should be the basis of all teaching, particularly for the college-directed student. The report recommends group ing, with roughly the upper 50 per cent of the student body in courses that will prepare them for college. This doesn't mean, Kitzhaber explained, that the top 50 per cent would follow one prescribed course of study. A student with high ability in math would be in the upper group for his math classes, but he might be in the lower group in languages, if his aptitude were poor in that field. Some of these recommendations would be difficult to follow in smaller high schools, Kitzhaber said. Many small schools can't afford to have a specialist a science teacher, he noted, may have to conduct biology, physics and chemistry classes. However, some other sugges tions, such as grouping, and stress on subject content, can be fol lowed in the small school as well as the large, Kitzhaber said. He noted there has been criti cism of the report, but that, in general, the "attitude has been overwhelmingly favorable.' The attitude of college faculty members is important, Kitzhaber said, because of the changes the report recommends for higher ecucation. This applies both to schools of education, he said, which turn out teachers to apply tl.j new methods, and the general college curricula, which must meet the demands of better stu dents. Work to Be Resumed On State Building SALEM (UPI) The Depart ment of Finance and Administra tion estimates that work can be resumed on the state's new labor and industries building in the Capitol Mall about the middle of March. The three million dollar project was held up by the steel strike. A quantity of steel for the build-; ing is now in the fabrication process at Seattle. New target date for completion of the. building now is next April, several months later than the original schedule. UT to Show Soviet Film "Strike," a nvovie long banned in Britain and the United States, will be shown Sunday at the Uni versity Theatre, under the aus pices of the University Film So ciety. The movie, produced in the So viet Union in 1924, was directed by Sergei Eisentein, who is con sidered the greatest master of cinematography of all time by some critics. The story is a detailed study of a steel strike in Tsarist Rus sia, and has a famous "Cossack massacre sequence. Admission to the show is through membership in the so ciety, which is available through the University Theatre box of fice, DI 2-1411, Ext. 441. Tryouts to Fill Roles For VLT Production Five men and four women are needed for "The White Sheep of the Family, the next production of the Very Little Theatre. Tryouts will for the parts will be held at the theater Monday at 7:30 p.m., with the public invited. Directors of the play are Ken and Adclc Griffith. The comedy will open April 6 for a nine per formance run. i UO Theater To Produce 'King and Y "Theatricalism rather than realism" will be the emphasis, according to director Horace Robinson, in the University Theatre's forthcoming production of "The King and I." The show, which stars Univer sity of Oregon students Bob Stankavich as the king and Vi vian Tendollen as Anna, opens March 4 at the UT. "The authenticity of 'The King and I' might prove a source of some concern to the native Sia mese," Robinson said, but con tinued that the story is reported ly based on an actual happening. "Rogers and Hammerstein pre ferred to have more than just a travelogue to Siam, so they took liberties," he said. Robinson will have a large cast, extensive properties and an elaborate set with which to work. Music for the show is one of Robinson's directing problems in the musical. "We're (the University Thea tre) not a music department," he says, "and our greatest prob lem is working without trained musicians, instrumentalists, etc. But I think we can do a com mendable job with the show." "After all," he added, "musical comedy is a wedding of music and drama, and the drama in variably stands out more than the music. At Local Theaters This Week FOX Through Tuesday, "Solomon and Sheha."
