I Board approves institute for gifted students By Michael Hosmar Of the Kmtrralfi The University will soon have a new institute on its campus aimed at talented and gifted students. The State Board of Higher Education unanimously ap proved a request for the Talented and Gifted Students Institute for the Development of Educational Achievements on Friday in its meeting at Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls. The institute will provide an administrative identity for a number of public services that the college of education spon sors as an outreach of its educa tion and research programs, says board member Edward Harms. “It will give it (the In stitute) the visibility that a name provides,” he says. The .institute's activities in . elude summer enrichment pro grams for. talented and gifted . students- in • kindergarten through 12th grade: in-service . trainjng for- teachers,. . workshops and seminars, and consultation services.

Hospitals are in marketing, they have to be,” says board member Harriett Flanagan. In his report to the board. Bud Davis, chancellor of higher education, says he is pleased with the latest figures on enroll ment. He says there has been less than a 2 percent drop in enrollment since the beginning of the year. “It’s a very positive change in direction, and it reflects the tuition freeze,” says Davis. Davis also said he is concern ed about a new test that graduating students in the Col lege of Education will be re quired to take this year to become licenced: The .Teaching Standards and Practice Com mission has decided to use the California Basic- Education Skills..Test as a condition for licencing. The College of Education is' now iising. the. California Acheivement Test hut only as an extrance exam in to the school, not as a condition for licencing, says Clarethel Kahananui, acting chancellor for academic affairs. “It's causing great consterna tion and concern in the College of Education,” says Davis. “It’s not a professional test like the bar exam. It's more like the Law School Aptitude Test,” he says. "I’m prepared to request they (the teaching standards com mission) defer it. I don’t like it as an addition,” says Davis. “What shakes you up about it is that some people .who have taken it say it’s easy enough that an eighth-grader could pass it. If it’s so easy, why did 20 to 30 percent at Berkeley fail it?” Alvin Batiste, board vice president, says minority students would, .be greatly af fected* by the California skills test: “We should-request-that' the'test be advisory in, nature or defer it,” he says. . • Davjs also told board Bud Davis members to urge.legislators not to vote for Ballot Measure 2. “I . have opposed Ballot Measure 2. It would be ' disastrous : to already inadequate- facilities,” he says-. ‘ • -" • In other business, the board heard a report from the Interna tional Trade and Commerce In stitute at Portland State Univer sity. Dr. James Manning, who prepared the report, told the board that some of the in stitute’s new programs will in crease Oregon’s exports into the international market. He says in some of the programs, students become familiar with the inter national market, and the inter national market gets a chance to look at Oregon. The board also voted unanimously to discontinue three centers at PSU. None of the centers are currently opterating, and PSU recom mended that they be officially discontinued, according to a report by the board's Committee on Instruction, Research, and 'Public Services Programs. Two of the centers; the North west Race and Desegregation Assistance Center arid the Latin American Studies Center, will be temporarily discontinued, according to the report.
