Curriculum

centralized curriculum now is
needed, the group said.
Here are the specific changes
planned:
In the Junior College. English
instruction will be revised. Two
years will be required, the first
term to be freshman compost
ton. the second and third either
English, American, European or
classical literature, and the
fourth sophomore composition.
At present students take the en-
tire composition course in the
first year and can substitute art
or philosophy for literature. This
change takes effect next fall.
A full year course In philoso-
ply, art or religion will be re-
quired Of all students, at any
time in the four years but prob
ably not in the freshman year.
Integrated Courses Planned.
Present junior college require
ments of one year Of social
science, one of physical science
and two of a foreign language
will be retained. In addition,
all students in Columbian Col
lege will have to take year Of
physical science, social science
and literature. These will be
brand-new courses.
The committee suggested three
titles for the new third and
fourth-year courses: Science and
the Modern World, Vital Issues in
Modern Society and Their Back
ground and the Evolution Of
Modern Literature. These would
be integrated courses designed
for mature students desiring gen.
eral knowledge, not for special
lists. Others also would be de-
veloped. None of this has been
approved as yet, and no date
has been set for introducing this
new program. It will probably be
elective and experimental at first.
New regional study programs
will be established. Programs al
ready in existence cover Ameri-
can culture and civilization and
Latin America. The new ones will
cover Russia. the Near East and
Far East. The university hopes
to introduce one Of these new
programs next fall.
Combined Degrees to End.
At least a full year Of undre-
graduate study in the humanities,
social science and mathematics
or science will be required as q
prerequisite for masters work,
No date has been set for this in
novation.
A graduate record examination
will be required Of senior stu
dents. No date has been set for
this change.
Combined degrees, now offered
by Columbian College and the
law and medical schools, will be
discontinued. These were insti-
tuted to permit wartime law and
medical students to save a yeal
of their undergraduate work. Nc
date has been set for the change
but thereafter students must take
the full four years of under.
graduate work before entering
the law or medical school.
College departments will be
urged to award more degrees
with special honors' as recogni.
tion for outstanding achieve
ment.
In another change, an addi-
tional grade-excellent-will be
introduced next fall for gradu.
ate students. The present grades

are satisfactory and unsatisfac-
tory. All masters candidates
will be required to obtain excel
lent in at least six hours Of work
and any one gettiAg nine hours

peded.
The new program viii reduce
electives for junior college stu
dents by six to IL hours, giving
them SO hours of required
courses and "a elective. For Co
lumbian College students, the
present proportion of electives
will be halved, giving them only

are nominated.
The Senate held a 10-minute
routine session yesterday to re
ceive from Senator SaltonStall
the favorable committee report
on Mr.. Wilson, so that the de-
bate could get under way at
noon tomorrow.
Majority Leader Taft will try
for a vote on confirmation late
tomorrow. but the debate may
take longer than one day.
Senator Morse, the Oregon In
dependent who bolted the Re-
publican Party last fall to sup
port Gov. Adlai Stevenson, is
opposing the Wilson appoint
ment. Senator Morse charged in
New York yesterday that "big
business has stolen the Repub-
lican Party"
Leaders expect Mr.. Wilson to
be confirmed by a substantial
majority.
Morse Still Objects.
Senator Morse. who has de-
scribed the appointment as
against public policy, said Mr..
Wilson's promise to sell his G. M,
stock, worth more than $2.5 mil
lion. makes no difference in his
stand against the nomination.
"It is not in the interest of
good government to place at the
head Of the Defense Establish
ment the ex-president of a
corporation that has between
four and five billion dollars
worth of defense contracts with
the Defense Department" said
Senator Morse.
Mr.. Wilson has said that. in
addition to selling the stock, he
would take UP with President
Eisenhower any matters cross
ing his desk that might be SUBJ
ject to misunderstanding.
Senator Knowland, Republican
Of California, indicated he thinks
the subordinate appointees also
would have to sen their stocks
in defense companies. He said
"logic and common sense" would
suggest that the Armed Services
Committee would not apply
different rules to the other NOM
ineeS.
Kefauver has Doubts.
Senator Russell, Democrat. oi
Georgia, said he doubts that Mr.
Wilson's suggestion that his as.
sistants merely disqualify them
selves In certain cases "woulo
conform either to the letter OF
the spirit Of the law" He added
however. that he is still studying
the question.
II don't think It would work,
observed Senator Kefauver
Democrat, Of Tennessee. There
are so many corporations in.

vest themselves"
II am absolutely against it,

With beef supplies increasing
it's a good idea to brush up
on the how and why of beef
cookery The most demanded beef
outs are the tender ones which
dome from the center Of the mai
NAL, right along the backbone
These cuts include rib roast of
beef and the tender steaks.
The tender cuts are cooked by
dry heat that IS by roasting
lpan-frylng. brOlling and pam
uroiling. The oven temperature to
use in cooking q rib roast Of beef
is 1925 degrees. No water should be
added to the pan and it should
not be covered.
The less tender cuts. and more
economical ones, come from the

The increase in late of lay

cause Of fewer layers and q re-
duced rate Of lay. This should
cause egg prices to ADVANCE above

Anothe, factor pointing to q
more favorable situation for poul
tlymen is that current prices for
frozen eggs are high enough to
encourage expanded commercial
