FOURTEEN MTDFORD (OREGOK) MAIL TRIBXJKB Sunday, September 1, 18S7 SOC Planning Experiment In Freshman Curriculum Curriculum planning meet ings are being held and text books have been chosen for the $15,000 block-teaching experi ment which Southern Oregon College will conduct during the 1857-53 school year, according to Dr. Arthur Kreisman, proj ect director. SOC is one of 17 colleges and universities In the country tak ing part in the program on a grant made available by the U.S. Bureau of Health, Education and Welfare. ' "Faculty co-workers on the project have been holding meet ings to complete our plans for the experiment," Kreisman said. . "We have been working to de termine the time barriers for the course, so that we will know how far we can go chronologi cally, each term.' The staff members have also planned se lection and registration of stu dents. Six areas of subject matter in the humanities and social sci ences will be intergrated to give a total of twelve hours college credit for three quarters. This will include three credits each for world history, world litera ture, and English composition, and one credit each in art, music and speech. Primary object of the experi ment is to demonstrate that the required freshman subject mat ter can be taught more efficient ly in twelve section than it is now being taught in seventeen sections. One hundred students and seven faculty members will take part in the experiment. If the project is successful, S. O. C. will adopt it as part of the re quired program for freshman shudents. By adoption of such a plan it would be possible to save the time of one faculty mem ber for every 100 students. This saving is possible' be cause students will be taking all the correlated subjects at the same time from the same faculty members. When a topic is stud ied, it will tx studied in history, literature, art and music at once. Students in the experimental group will be chosen from en tering freshmen on the basis of tests, and a control group of similar ability and size will be taught in the traditional way. At the end of each quarter, both groups will be thoroughly tested with standardized and other tests for the purpose of comparison. Records will be kept of stu dents' grades as they progress through the four years of col lege, and there are tentative plans for ' student retest at the end of the senior year to check j carry-over and follow-through. In addition to Dr. Kreisman, who initiated the project, faculty workers include .Dr. Dorothy Stolp, assistant professor of speech and drama: Dr.'F. D. Haines Jr., assistant professor of j social science; Henry Frances, assistant professor of English: Dr. Herbert M. Cecil, assistant professor of music; Otto Wilda, associate professor of art: and Dr. Richard Burns, associate pro fessor of English. Dr. Burns comes to S. O. C. from the University of Alaska, and has his doctorate from the University of Edinburgh, accord ing to Dr. Kreisman. He replaces ur. Alvm Fellers, who will be director of personnel. Pickin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White Br SID HOLLINCSWORTH Manager E. K. Ricker has eallerf attention to the fact that frequently in giving notice of the VAVS membership, mis takes or oversights occur. This is due to the "changing of the guard" during the year in most instances. The domiciliary at Camp White at present has 23 organ izations listed on the VAVS roster. In proportion to the size of the station, this is as large a representation as can be found fh the country.
