Regional State won't contest law SALEM (AP) — Oregon won't join Minnesota's challenge of a federal law that prohibits gover nors from vetoing foreign assignments for National Guard units. Gov. Neil Goldschmidt's office says. That's because the state has been assured by Army Chief of Staff John Wickham that no Oregon National Guard units would be sent to train in Honduras without the gover n o r s p e r m i s s i o n .

The Ashland school is listed as a "comprehensive institu tion" by the National Center for Educational Statistics, said Ben Tyran, assistant director of the Jackson County EDC. Portland State University is also listed as a "comprehensive institution," he said. Of the 23-4 schools listed as "comprehensive institutions,” only 37 are colleges, he said, adding that B4 percent of the schools listed are universities. But the State Board has its own definition of colleges and universities: schools in which doctorate degrees are awarded and research is conducted are called universities in Oregon. The University of Oregon, Oregon State University, the Oregon Health Sciences Univer sity in Portland and PSU are in cluded in that definition. PSU awarded 22 doctoral degrees last year. SOSC does not award doc toral degrees, nor are SOSC pro fessors required to conduct research. Tyran disagrees with the State Board definition. “That’s their definition but it's not the right one,” Tyran said. The federal Department of Education defines doctorate granting universities as those that award at least :t() doctorate degrees each year, he said. PSU does not meet that criteria, but This fall, discover another Spain — another France in the Basque Country and Bearn Fall/Spring/Summer Semesters University courses in intensive Spanish, French, or Basque languages, anthropology, history, political science, economics, education, literature, folkdance, music, and cuisine.
