ADAMS Mail Tribune Ciiy Editor (Second in a ieriei) Changes in curricula at the two state universities since 1958 have ranged from adding new departments to reorganization of courses, some in recent years, others over a period of years. James H. Jensen, presi dent of Oregon State uni versity, and Arthur S. Flem ming, president of the Uni versity of Oregon, have pointed out that the curric lua of the universities is in a continual process of re view, revision and change. Some changes go unno ticed; they are made over several years and entered into slowly. Others are more pronounced. Some of the more recent major changes at OSU in clude: Establishment of a de partment of oceanography in 1959. This department in the school of science is design ed to prepare students for government service, re search and technical posi tions in oceanographic lab- Midget H-Bomb Test Successful Washington -IUP1I- A dorr of earth 600 to 800 feet across, longer than two football fields, was thrown 2,000 feet high by a "clean" midget H bomb exploded underground in Nevada July 6. The Atomic Energy Com mission disclosed Thursday that the blast, set off at a depth of 635 feet, dug a crater 1,200 feet in diameter and 320 feet deep. The commission said the ex periment provided "valuable new information concerning the feasibility and safety of nuclear earth -moving proj ects." It said most of the radio activity generated by the blast, perhaps as much as 95 per cent, was trapped under ground. The July 6 shot was the first of several planned blasts in the AEC's Plowshare pro gram to develop peacetime uses for nuclear explosives.

Jensen noted that no ma jor is offered at the under graduate level in the depart ment of oceanography, but graduate majors lead to Master's and Ph.D. degrees. ' Institution of an honors work program in 1959 for undergraduates of superior ability and promise in the school of science. Freshmen entering the program must be in the top third of their high school graduating class, and have an average above B in sci ence and mathematics, must show acceptable perform ance in college placement examinations and be recom mended by one of his high school science teachers. Undergraduate Work Undergraduate work of honors students include hon ors sections, readings, sem inars, special projects, spe cial course work, research, thesis, comprehensive writ- . ten examinations, a collo quium and an oral exami nation, Jensen noted. Establishment in 1960 of a new undergraduate ma jor in engineering physics. This is designed to prepare students for development work where a special pat tern involving a dual ap proach is demanded. Establishment of a five year undergraduate curric ulum in forest engineering, in addition to the regular four-year curriculum. Development in 1980 of a new school of humanities and social scirnces. Offers Majors This school offers majors and bachelor's degrees in the two broad areas, hu manities and social sciences, formerly non-degree grant ing at OSU. Jensen pointed out that "at a time when emphasis on natural science and tech nology has been so widely stepped up, it is important, in the interest of balance in the educational program, that the impact of humani ties and the social sciences be strengthened." - Strengthening in 1961 of the meteorology work in the department of physics. This was done by provision of special graduate courses in research, seminar and thesis. Reorganization of the undergraduate program in the school of agriculture. Three areas of emphasis are now included in curriculum. They are agricultural sci ence, agricultural business and agricultural technology. Greater emphasis, Jensen noted, is placed on the sci ences, social' sciences and humanities, and the new op tions are in keeping with the significant changes that have taken place in agricul ture. Although some sub j e c t matter appears far removed from technological develop ments leading to the explor ation of space, they are in terrelated to problems aris ing from rapid increases in technology, other scientific disciplines, and what may be expected in the future, Several new develop ments have been instituted at the University of Oregon during the past few years. The undergraduate cur riculum in business admin istration was completely re organized in 1959-60, with emphasis on the place of business enterprise in the American social and eco nomic system, and on the contributions of the social sciences to the understand ing of business problems. Another notable addition to the U of O program is establishment of an Honors College in 1960 to provide a distinctive four-year under graduate program for stu dents of exceptional ability leading to a bachelor's de gree. Graduate programs have been developed leading to doctor of philosophy in ge ography, philosophy and Germanic languages; in bus iness administration lead ing to doctor nf business ad ministration; in imaginative writing leading to a master of fine arts degree; and in librarianship 1 e a di n g to master's degree. Flemming pointed out that the university's curric ulum "is in the process of continuous review and re vision, both on the initiative of the several instructional divisions and under the leadership of the university wide faculty committee on the curriculum." New Developments He noted that many im portant new developments "emerge gradually, as de partmenls experiment with new methods of instruction and incorporate into their programs new knowledge and new insights gained on the expanding frontiers of research." These curriculum changes would have taken place with or without sputnik; they were in the process. Perhaps they came about more rapidly because of public awareness of Russia's accomplishments in the sci ences. One thing is certain, how ever; the educational pro gram of the future will con stantly change, and change more rapidly and more dra matically than it has in the past. And these changes will be, and are today, noticed in all levels of education.
