By LARRY HUNTER STATE SYSTEM OKEHS BOOST IN SONS SUBJECTS L’XPANSlON of the junior col­ lege curriculum to include a greater variety of courses or even the addition of another staff mem­ ber to meet the increasing student demand for lower division work was authoribed for the Southern and Eastern Oregon Normal schools at a recent meeting of the Jnterinstitutional Curricula Com­ mittee of the Oregon State Sys­ tem of Higher Education, accord­ ing to President Walter Redford of the local school. The policy of the State Board of Higher Education has been to make each unit of the state sys­ tem directly responsive to the needs of the young people of that particular locality, and this action is in harmony with established policy. The increasing demand for jun­ ior college work at the Southern Oregon State Normal school is re­ flected in the percentage of the student body enrolled in this field, which has increased from 25 per cent of the total in 1931-32 to 36 per cent at the present time. This seems to show that southern Ore­ gon students in larger numbers are taking advantage of the nom­ inal cost of obtaining credit at this school which will be accepted at full value at a four-year insti­ tution. Offerings in the junior college field at the present time include courses in art, English literature, dramatics, psychology. French, German, botany, biology, zoology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, eography, economics and history. In addition foundation courses in the teacher training curriculum are accepted for ful credit as low­ er division work. These courses include biology, English composi­ tion, World literature, sociology, history, music and physical edu­ cation. The junior college certifi­ cate obtainable at this school ad­ mits to junior standing without question at the University of Ore­ gon and Oregon State college. From one to two years of work at this school may be taken with­ out loss of time or credit by stud­ ents expecting to major at four- year schools in English, social sciences, business administration, home economics, forestry, law, journalism, education, physical education, pre-medics and allied courses. ----- •----- Hollis, Montgomery To Tangle Monday Ken Hollis, the Arkansas terror, will return to the Medford armory ring Monday night to meet Bob Montgomery in a top-main event on Promoter Mack Lillard's week­ ly wrestling card. Speedy Larance, a newcomer, will meet Cecil McGill in the sec­ ond main event and Steve Sterlich will tangle with Tommy Ward in the opener, at 8:30 p. m. CALL BIDS FOR ARC SYSTEM AS PLANS FORMED "ALTHOUGH no actual work has been done yet on the con­ templated Ashland high school field-lighting project, work plans have been in the hands of City Supt. Elmer Biegel for two weeks and requests for estimates and bids have been sent to several con­ cerns. We talked about the plan briefly at Tuesday night's meeting of the school board and, if reas­ onable figures are received from bidders, I believe it probably that actual construction will get under­ way soon," G. A. Briscoe, city school superintendent, said Wed­ nesday. The bids call for prices on lights, wiring, poles, reflectors and all other necessary items for the arc system which is needed here in order to keep Ashland abreast of other cities with modem athletic plants. It is understood that the first step here will consist of only the lighting system being added to the present high school field. Enlarged grandstands, turfing and other improvements will come as con­ ditions indicate their necessity. Fi­ nancing will be done through reg­ ular channels with school district funds. Lute last fall The Miner pio­ neered publicity for a field where night football and summer kitten­ ball might be staged Jan. 11 the school board approved the present plan and appointed a committee of J. H Hardy. Dom Provost, B. C. Forsyte, Frank Davis and W. H McNair to study practical ideas for construction. scouts / dads JOIN IN FEAST Nearly 120 Ashland Boy Scouts and their “dads” filled the junior high school dining hall to capacity Thursday night in the annual or­ ganization birthday dinner, high spot of the week commemorating the anniversary of scouting. Coinciding with the feed was a court of honor at which Bill Cook and Bill Green were awarded sec­ ond class ratings, Carl Isenhower, Dick Finnell and Jack Merritt, second class merit badges, and Fritz Buehling and Joe Wurzer received first class merit badges. J. H. Fuller presided over the court with Frank Van Dyke as clerk. Larry Schade. Medford, presi­ dent of the Crater Lake district council, and Frank Hull, district commissioner, addressed the meet­ ing m talks acclaimed by all pres­ ent as the best ever heard on scoutdom—brief, interesting and to the point. ----- •----- SEEN ¡n.
