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

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.
