Faculty supports requirements
By Sandy Johnstone
Ol Itie Emerald
The University faculty showed
"overwhelming" support for the
proposed admissions require
ments the State Board of
Higher Education will consider
at its meeting next week
In a straw vote that Pres Paul
Olum stressed was highly un
representative of the entire
faculty, the University faculty
assembly unanimously ap
proved the requirements Wed
nesday afternoon.
The requirements proposed
by the Chancellor include four
years of English, three years of
math, two years of science,
three years of social studies and
two years of "other college
prep" courses.
Olum also answered ques
tions about the proposal to
postpone the faculty pay in
crease he introduced last month
in his State of the University
address.
The faculty considered the
University adoption of a two
year foreign language
Board ponders
EMU printers,
gets members
The EMU print shop needs a
more aggressive marketing
policy to solve its revenue prob
lems, an EMU Board member
said Wednesday
Although the shop has good
management, it has image and
price problems, Jeff Nudelman
said in a task force report at the
EMU Board meeting Students
are unaware of the shop, and
the shop's prices are not com
petitive with other competitors
in many areas, he said
Nudelman said he would
contact a business student to
perform a marketing survey to
find solutions The shop lost
money last year but is projected
to break even this year
Kinko's print shop has ex
pressed interest in moving to
the EMU. Nudelman added
In other business, the board
approved Paula Jampsa, EMU
board member, to replace Alan
Scearce as EMU Board housing
committee chairer Scearce re
signed because of time con
straints
The board also approved
three new members: Bret Mac
Pherson, a interdisciplinary
program graduate student, as
an EMU progam representative;
Paul Curtis, an architecture so
phomore, as EMU program
representative; and Daniel
Cohen, an economics and
mathematics senior, as ASUO
program representative

admissions requirement ana,
with only slightly less consen
sus. agreed it would be accep
table with a provision for ex
ceptions.
But while the faculty agreed
on the general issues, many
concerns were voiced during
the meeting about specifics
dealing with the requirements
Many faculty members ex
pressed concern about the date
set for implementation of the
new admission requirements
An implementation date of 1986
got the most support, although
most people agreed the foreign
language requirement, if
adopted, would take longer to
be implemented
Robyn Dawes, head of the
psychology department, said he
thought the requirements
should be phased in gradually
rather than have the whole thing
take effect in a particular year
The adoption of a foreign
language requirement comes in
response to statistics showing
Oregon students lag behind the
national average in the number
of students taking a foreign lan
guage
However, not everyone was in
agreement
"Some students do not need
two years of a foreign language
r
ai me mgn scnooi level, saiu
Ron Rousseve. counseling psy
chology professor. "I have re
servations about that two years
of foreign language imposed on
a student "
Paul Holbo. vice provost for
academic affairs, says the new
requirements are acceptable
even if they are only minimal
He strongly endorsed the for
eign language requirement, ad
ding it would make other insti
tutions "jealous.”
In budgetary matters. Olum
answered questions about the
proposal to postpone faculty
pay Olum said Gov Vic Atiyeh
has proposed a salary increase
for faculty of 11 5 percent
Some 5 3 percent of the pay
increase was due to start Sept
15, but will now begin at the end
of March The other 5 88 per
cent, rather than the 4 percent
originally planned, will begin
June 1
In other business, the title of
the college of Health, Physical
Education and Recreation has
been changed to the College of
Human Development and
Peformance
A motion from the Student
University Affairs Board
proposed setting up a system
for graduating with honors.

on a desert island and
were allowed only one
book, which would you
wish it to be? Many, after
reading 'Time and the Art
of Living" will consider
the subject closed,"
The book includes
mental exercises to
sharpen your sense of
time and to help you use
memory, immediate
experience, planning and
dreaming to make best
use of a valuable yet
unappreciated resource

SINGLE TEST SCORE MAY MEAN MORE
THAN YOUR HARD-EARNED G.PA.
GRADUATE ADMISSIONS PREPARATION SERVICE
THE SIMPLE TRUTH is that graduate admissions
are a matterof convenience and expedience. Your
true abilities, even your Grade Point Average, may
be meaningless if you are unprepared for, un
familiar with, or “freeze up" during your
admissions exam. Unfortunately, your under
graduate training alone is not adequate to
prepare you. That 's where GAPS comes in.
GAPS-THE PROFESSIONAL APPROACH.
GAPS courses give you a competitive edge
both in knowledge and in the psychology of test
taking. Prepared by professionals, more than half of
whom are full professors, the GAPS method combines lecture tapes,
written materials and practice tests covering every topic area you'll be expected
to know... along with fully-explained answers to the test questions. You’ll go in knowing
more about the subject matter and the strategy of test-taking. And with the relaxed confidence of
thorough preparation.
SELECTED BY MAJOR UNIVERSITIES.
GAPS courses have been used by more than 100 colleges and universities to prepare their students
for these exams. Now they’re available to you direct. Revisions are made constantly to be sure that they reflect
the content of the lastest exams. /
