Many Curricula Changes Noted at Universities
By EARL H. 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.
Youngster Found
By Quentin Inmates
Willits, Calif. - (UPD - A 3-year-old
boy, missing for more
than 30 hours in rugged brush
country west of here, was
found alive and well Thurs
day night by inmates of the
San Quentin honor camp at
Arlin Fork, about 20 miles
west of Willits.
The boy, Timothy Lee
Streuser, had wandered off
from his grandparents' home
in Mendocino. He was found
Ht about 10:30 p.m. a half
mile from the honor camp. He
is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Streuser of Stevenson,
Wash.
Forest Access Road
Fund Increase Voted
Washington -HIPP- The Sen
ate Thursday approved a fed
eral highway bill which in
cludes an amendment to in
crease funds for forest access
roads from $40 to $60 million
for the current fiscal year.

Northwest lumber industry.

oratories, advanced research
in fisheries, geology, me
teorology, or other science
which oceanographic appli
cations. 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.
Elkton Man Dies In Auto Collision

Highway 99 some 13 miles
