Ocean Plants To Receive OSU Study Corvallis - The tiny plants of the ocean-so small one needs a microscope to see them but so necessary that there could be no marine life without them-will draw spe cial attention from the Oregon Oiaie unlversitv rirnnrtmr,t of oceanography during com ing years.

Dr. Jensen Tells Rotarians About College Problem "Higher education Is the most important problem fac ing the United States." Dr. James H. Jensen, president of Oregon State university, said in an address before the Med ford Rotary club Tuesday. "Our education system stands as the best system in the world, and is the most im portant factor to the well being of the United State," he continued, "Higher education faces its greatest challenge in the next 10 years," he said. "Whereas in 1962 there are 48.000 students in college in Oregon, in 1972 there will be 85,000. There even could grow to be as many as 110,000 stu dents if the present trend toward college training con tinues. One hundred years ago, one student in 1,500 at tended college. Today 1 stu dent in 3 goes to college." Million In College Speaking of the situation in the United States, Dr. Jensen said that in 1963, 1.000,000 students will go to college. In 1973, however, 2,000.000 may be expected in the colleges. "Oregon State university is now geared to handle 8,400 students in terms of staff and classrooms. At present it has 9,036 students. For the year 1963-64 it already has appli cations for 2,000 students, or 1.000 more than anticipated," Dr. Jensen said. The tremendous increase in college students is not a prob lem of gloom only. It can only be viewed as a great opportu nity, lo serve the youth. There are many bright spots in the picture," he said. Many experiments are under way which will reveal ways to ef fectively teach the great num ber of students. Tries Experiment Massachusetts Institute of Technology has tried an ex periment in Which each stu dent was given an electronic kit and directions to use in his dormitory room. The re sults were more initiative and accomplishments by the stu dents and the saving of an entire laboratory. In other experiments, closed circuit television is bringing savings in staff and facilities with no loss in accomplish ment. Learning machines, too are being developed that hold great promise, he said. Oregon State university has a new library under construc tion now, and ' we should be planning the next major addi tion at this very time," Dr. Jensen said. "The great Increase In col lege enrollments is a great challenge," Dr. Jensen said. "It is one that will be met by the educator and the citizen. There is no doubt that the challenge will be met."
