MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, J962 ri v . ... -f""' , A HOUSE DIVIDED This is truly a house divided but only temporarily. The stately mansion, constructed in San Francisco at the turn of the century, was destined for demolition to make room for a $4 million luxury com munity apartment house. Cut into two sections, it has been moved through the city streets to the water's edge, where it will be loaded on barges and taken across San Francisco Bay where the halves will be joined in Bele dere. After reconstruction, it will again be a showplace of architecture of the period. (UPI) British Exposure j Results In Change In Word Choice Br PAUL R. ALLERUP United Pins International London (UPD The Ameri can visitor invariably says to the American visitor who has been living in England for awhile: "Where's your British accent? You still sound more Brooklyn than Ox'ord." ' That's a first reaction. If the visitor sticks around long enough he learns there's some Oxford in the Brooklyn after all. I've been approaching Ing three years and phoneti cally speaking my rugged American individualism in language has suffered a num ber of defeats. It happens to everyone. You can put up witli just o many snickers, or raised eyebrows, when you order tomayto soup or grilled to-1 maytos with your steak. So you make it a point, in pub lic, to say tomahto. It's not long before you're even talk ing to your wife about tomah toes. I After a certain number; of puzzled stares from British j acquaintances you start talk-; Ing about holidays instead of Vacations. It's only a matter of months before you are going to and talking about the chemist's rather than the drug atore. And the elevator ' in your apartment house becomes the lift in your block of flats, flats. Speech Changes A few tttempts to buy vi tamins convinces you you really mean vittamins. And to get gasoline for your car you ask for p 1. Idea becomes, almost unno ticeably, ideah. It doesn't matter that for two decades you've had an ice box in the kitchen. Now it's the fridge. When you've had a late lunch you come home to tell your wife you didn't get out till tea-time. And she doesn't even smile any more. When a truck grazes your fender you exchange license Information with the lorry driver, and you "-rite lorry in your report. You don't invite the boys to come have a drink, you say let's go have a Pint. .' I've even succumbed to la barratry for laboratory. You really cahn't win. But It'll take more than three years to get me saying con trowa'see. After all some day I just might get back to Brooklyn. mm w I to ; z. " - I' 's Private College Embarks On New Curriculum Plan A 5 Kalamazoo, Mich.-fflPfl- Like ail small private colleges, Kal amazoo college faced a major challenge in coping with fast rising costs and an expected increase in student enrollment. To meet the challenge the 750-student coed school em barked last fail on a bold cur ricula revision, switching from a two-semester academic year to a four-quarter plan. It was hailed as a revolutionary ap proach to the cost and space problem, but first indications are that it had a hidden bonus factor: dramatically improved student performance. The object of the Kalama zoo plan, a combination of several ideas already in prac tice elsewhere, is to obtain a rich and varied educational experience while making ex isting classroom, dormitory I and dining hall space stretch at least one-third farther. The main features of the plan are three on-campus quarters a year with vacations spread among summer, fall, winter and spring; study at a foreign university and credit for non-resident quarters dur ing which the student works for a business concern or so cial agency and pursues an in dependent study program. A typical student would be on campus only 10 of his IS un- dergraduate quarters, some ol them summer quarters. The result is that the col lege plant operates at fuii ca pacity year-arnund. The space goes even farther because of the lime the students spend off campus. Course Reduction Auutiier innovation was a reduction ol courses undertak en simultaneously from tour or five to three. Those courses were scheduled five days a week and out-of-class research work was assigned m addition to normal 'homework." , At the end of the first two quarters under the new .sys tem, the college reported the.se results; -Ninty-nme students made the dean's list the first quar ter and 103 the second, com pared with 66 in last year's first semester. -The percentage of student dropouts was well under the average of the past six years. -Students studied more. Li brary circulation was up an average of 45 per cent over a year ago. Dr. Wemwr K. Hicks, pres ident of Kalamazoo, said it was too early to pass positive judgment on the four-quarter plan, but he senses "a new -spirit of adventure" among Undents.

Schwensen were filed by his attorneys here Tuesday. One motion seeks a new trial on a number of grounds, including a claim that the jurors followed the progress of the trial closely in news papers. The second motion seeks to set aside the death verdict and dismiss the case because the state did not prove what caused the death of Mrs. Jean Rosaria Bussey. A Circuit Court jury con victed Schwensen of felony murder - death resulting from rape or attempted rape. Mrs. Bussey's body was found in her parked car Sept. 25, eight days after she was seen leav ing a bar with Schwensen. The jury made no recom mendation for mercy, making the death sentence manda tory. The state has not yet re plied to the motions. The court will set a hearing date later.
