Student members on state board debated By DEAN WHEELER Of the Emerald Student representation on an expanded State Board of Higher Education has the support by Governor Tom McCall but not the way House Bill 1587 would have it The bill expands the board to twelve members by the addition of three students chosen from the individual schools—one student for each 5.000 registered From the possible thirteen candidates. Governor McCall would choose three Speaking in behalf of the governor. Bob Davis, executive assistant to the governor, said, “the governor supports the addition of students to the State Board, but not in the form presented in House Bill 1587 “The governor would prefer a system which would have two members, one voting and one ex-officio "And secondly, that one student be from one of the three major universities and the other student from the series of smaller institutions Each student would serve two years, one year as the ex-officio member, and then be promoted to the voting position " The voting position would be alternated between the major universities and the smaller schools explained Davis Stephanie I^irsen. a senator representing ASUO, testified that "Student members would provide the Board with a direct access to the University en vironment so that Board decisions would more ac curately meet the real needs of the campuses The State Board of Kducation would then truly reflect a proper perspective." Davis said that student members would "Provide a meaningful experience-con tact for board members w ho often receive their information about students only on a confrontation basis "It will help students who now see the issues of education in black-and-w hite to realize the complexity of the issues which face the State Boared." Opposing testimony was given by Jean Hughes, representing the Citizens Coalition for Responsibility She agreed that student voices need to be' he«ard on the subjee't of grades, but she felt sufficient opportunity is given through the existing channels Mrs Hughe's added, "the university is a learning process Students cannot have the' expertene'e or ability to deal with the problems the State Hoard fail's Fur thermore. 1 can not see where full time students will not the time to function adequately on the hoard " lairson estimated that members of the board spend approximately five or six days a month working for the state lion Larson, assistant chancellor of the State System of Higher Kducation stated. "I don't know if the student members would make things more representative l do think the ultimate effect wouki result in lessened student impact on the decision making processes " Ijirson testified that he ‘feared student members at governmental policy making positions might tie a trap Students might rely on this as the only way to com mumcate their needs In may opinion, a better, more productive method is their advisory position in Universities and at the State Hoard" The hill, if passed by the Kducation Sub-committee of Health Kducation and Welfare, will go to the com mittee for a vote and then to the floor of the House for similar action A date for further action has not been set Correction Information director for the civil rights office of the regional HEW office in Seattle is Harvey Chester, not Harry Cluter, as reported in Wednesday's Emerald JUNE GRADS Peace Corps has overseas assignment for you— Liberal Arts, Teachers, City Planners, Business, Math and Sciences.
