SOME DIVLICATION NKUBSSARY
W hether a reorganization of the University of Oregon
by an exchange of departm ents as was recom mended by
the federal experts would save «lie taxpayer any money
would seem verv doubtful. The cost of operating a depart-
m ent either at Eugeni1 nr Corvallis would be practically the
a a m « _ a change would likely mean more expensive build
ing and loss In moving equipm ent
Because two like courses are taught at the I niversity
of Oregon and Oregon State college does not necessarily
mean there is waste duplication. A finger is being pointed
at home economics, journalism and music by those who
deplore duplication. None of these courses need expensive,
laboratoy equipment like agriculture, engineering, medicine
or forestry. It follows that a girl might want to learn how
to cook better or to cultivate her voice, w hether she had
elected to go to the University or S tate college and m ajor
in some other line. The industrial journalism taught at
the state college is a different branch than newspaper and
magazine journalism at the University of Oregon.
Our whole educational system from the grade school up
is increasing in cost out of proportion to other govern-
nm ental agencies and property valuations. No doubt there
will have to be some slowing down. However, any attem pt
to deprive the University of Oregon or Oregon State college
of duplicated courses in liberal arts and science which
would prevent both of them granting bachelor of Arts or
bachelor of Science degrees wpuld be a serious error from
an educational standpoint. All learning m ust necessarily
overlap—division should be only in specialized courses.

Fall gardens have helped out in

to produce a fine turnip crop that
