As an ASUO represen tative, Boyd addressed the report with written testimony at the OECC’s regional meeting in Eugene June 18. Her three-page summary will be included in the organization’s final pro posal to go before the state’s Emergency Board in September. The recently-released draft report is the state Legislature’s attempt to take into account the various problems of Oregon’s educational system in general from kindergarten through col lege, Boyd says. But by taking an integrated approach, the OECC's report is too vague and leaves many issues, particularly funding, unanswered and open for McKay’s Open Pantry Delicatessen FEATURING Broasted Chicken - by the bucket or the piece • Party trays made to order Fre«b home-made pizza • Fresh bagels and pocket bread • San Francisco style sourdough bread 31 varieties Imported and Domestic Cheese • 35 varieties lunch meat and sausages Full line salad bar • Hot food to go • Fresh sandwiches made daily Hot or cold.

Boyd says the way the OECC report addresses quality in education also is overgeneralized and unclear. Standards of quality are specifically mentioned in Goal 1, which states that “excellence in education shall be the stan dard expected of all Oregon schools and colleges,” and in Goal 6, where “the quality and efficiency of education shall be improved wherever possible. . . ” “Everybody wants ex cellence; everybody wants stable funding. The question is what does stable funding mean, who gets it and how do you decide who gets it,” Boyd says. In another sub-point of her testimony, Boyd criticizes the report’s proposal to restrict the number of incoming freshmen to the upper half of each high school graduating class, which would hamper funding from the state, she says. ‘‘While it’s elitist, it also could pose funding problems even though the report says that it shouldn’t be used as a fun ding criteria,” Boyd says. The fact that enrollment will decline as a result of that action should affect funding.” Another major concern that has arisen from the report is the future of financial aid, Boyd says. She believes there is a “dichotomy” in the report’s priorities of funding for grades K-12 and higher education. “Our priority should be higher education because it’s funded well below the national average, whereas secondary and primary education and com munity colleges are funded at well above the national average,” Boyd says. Boyd says she is quite pleased to see the Legislature’s interest in Oregon’s education, however. “It is definitely a first step,” she says. Board of higher education honors outgoing members Three outgoing members ot the State Board of Higher Education were honored by their colleagues at the close of the board’s monthly session Friday. Pres. Robert Ingalls, Vice Pres. Loren Wyss and student member Randall Gill were given certificates of recognition in ap preciation for their service.
