Application Of Principles
Principles rather than tech
nique in Ag College courses
was emphasized by the Ag
curriculum review committee
Friday. t
Eldridge pointed out that
the objectives of the curricu
lum review committee is to
find what other schools have
done in improving their cur
riculums, what can be done
here at the Ag campus to im
prove the cumculums, to
study course reviews and to
evaluate present curriculum
programs.
Tt is hoped that these re
views will strengthen the un
dergraduate advising system
and that it will find the pur
pose of various course pro
grams at the College of Ag
riculture, Eldridge said.
Each of the members of the
committee criticized the pres
ent curriculum for providing
too many techniques and not
enough principles. Techniques
are of little value if the stu
dent does not know the prin
ciples behind them, the com
mittee said. The student that
learns the principles, should
have the initiative to also
learn the techniques on his
own without wasting consid
erable class time, said the
committee.

plish three objectives in the
four years of education. These
three are the mastering of
physical, biological and a so
cial education.
In the physical matter, Da
ly said that the student should
learn the composition and
structure of matter, the inter
actions of matter and the dis
tribution and organization of
matter.
Biological matter taught
should include the kinds and
history of biological, the in
teractions of the biological
world and the form and func
tions that it develops. Social
ly, the student should learn
the history of man and in
stitutions. The production of educated
men and women and the
training of professional men
and women in a more spe
cialized field should be the

"Spotlight on Excellence in
Elementary Science" is the
name of a study to be con
ducted by the National Sci

Working under a grant from
the Shell Companies Founda

associate professor of elemen
tary education at the Univer

gation and compile a report
of the findings.
According to Dr. Zafforoni,
only elementary science pro

evidence of success in plan

Daly concluded.
Curriculum Needs
Another member of the
committee, Loyd K. Fisher,
and agricultural economist,
said that what the College of
Agriculture needs in its cur
riculum programs is the pr
er balance of depth and
breadth in its courses. He
then said that good courses
make good teaching pro
grams and each professor
should consider why that
course is offered, to whom
is offered and what informa
tion it gives to the student.
A third member of the com
mittee compared the Univer
sity curriculum Tvith that of
other similar Ag college cur
riculums. Frederick G. Teubner, pro
fessor of horticulture, stated
many of the other colleges
have the first year as re
quire d orientation courses
with no emphasis on the Ag
program. The only courses
taught that year may be an
introductive seminar to the
freshman.
Teubner said that many col
leges have increased the se
mester hours to complete a
more thorough educated pro
gram. Some require 138 se
mester hours excluding
ROTC, TeUbner said.

Larsen is the scheduled speak
er for the Young Democrat
rueeting Tuesday night in
room 332 Student Union, ac
cording to Don Ferguson,
president of the YD's.
. Larsen, who took office in
1959, said he will speak on
the "past 20 years in the of
fice of the State Treasuer as
contrasted to my two years
in office in the light of ac
complishments." Since his election, Lar
sen's primary accomplish
ment that has benefited the
state the most has been the
investment of idle state funds,
Ferguson said.
Lar.sen said one of his most
recent and important propos
als concerns the twice a
month payment to state em
ployees. "I am under the opinion that
the state can save thousands
of dollars per year by reduc
ing personal turnover caused
partly by monthly paymetns,"
Larsen said.
He also noted that he plans
to promote, through proper
channels, the establishment
ol a state civil service pro
gram for state employees.
Another aid to the State trea

"We feel the members have
had an adequate chance to
pick the candidates they
