‘crap’ for
a cause

Gambling raised about $700 for the University
Friday at Reno Night, as people tried their skill at casino
games at the Thunder Bird Motel.
But no one really lost — the bucks used to buy
funny money will be donated to the President’s
Scholarship fund, to be used to award merit scholar
ships to University students.
Chancellor outlines standards
By David Stainmetz
Of Mm Emerald
A slow deterioration of educational re
quirements has brought Oregon to a “critical
juncture” with regard to educational standards,
according to Chancellor Bud Davis.
At a meeting Friday with the Oregon
Association of Secondary School Ad
ministrators, Davis discussed a proposal to
raise requirements for admission to state
system colleges and universities. The proposal
requires four years of English, three years of
math, two years of science, three years of
social science and two years of other college
prep courses.
Davis said the requirements are similiar to
those established at the University of New Mex
ico while he was president there, and they
resulted in enrollment increases, improved test
scores and a higher percentage of minority
enrollment.
Davis pointed out that until about 20 years
ago, there were tougher standards for admis
sion to most colleges and universities. But in
the 1960s electives became increasingly com
mon in high schools, and higher education in
stitutions began to “back off” from strict ad
missions requirements. Public universities and
colleges began looking mainly at grade point
averages and Scholastic Aptitude Test scores,
he said.
The United States is now far behind na
tions like the Soviet Union and Japan in educa
tional requirements, with only half of U.S. high
school students taking any math beyond the
10th grade, and only 16 percent taking any
chemistry, Davis said.
Two years of a foreign language will pro
bably not be required for entrance to state
schools, because of the difficulty small high
schools would have finding the resources to
teach them. The proposal “highly recom
mends” them and the University Assembly has
considered instituting a foreign language re
quirement for admission.
Davis also points to the shortage of math
and science teachers, with only 10,000 physics
teachers for 16,000 high schools nationally.
Much of the shortage is due to the loss of
qualified math and science teachers to in
dustry since salaries average only $10,000 to
$12,00i» per year for high schools teachers.
