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.

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.
