Puoils Plain Scared Says Scientist Wheat Men Meet With OSC Head “Fear of science" is keeping vast num bers of able American youths out of science classes ami careers today and constitutes one of the big obstacles faced by this county in science training, ac cording to the dean of science at Oregon State college. D r A F Gilfillan insists th.it thousands of students "steer away from science courses in high school and college because they tiave the m istaken notion that science courses are too hard for them ami too dem anding in study time.” Girls, especially, hesitate to take science classes lx*. ause they are "scared", he says. “In reality, of course, there is no reason why girls shouldn’t do ju st as well as boys in science fields,’’ he em pha aised. Gilfillan Is quick to point out that students must put forth real effort in science studies but is convinced that the overw helm ing m ajority of students should be able to pass and enjoy .* ience. "Some of them will find new worlds and new work <»i>ened to them", he says. i'h e problem, however, is that the fear of science is resulting in a tremendous waste of talent American youngsters |M>s%ess a l ong science lines, Gilfillan bch. ves ' We’re to the j»olnt that some of our youths have l>eeu condi tioned against science instead of fxing encouraged to find out tor themselves if the> have the m ak ings of a scientist," he adds. Gilfillan la of the opinion that high school students should b«> required to take at least one year of biology, one year of a physical •Hence—physics or chem istry— and mote than one year of math- euiatics if they a i e g o in g o n w it h college studies.
