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 .
Goldschmidt's office said
Monday.
However. Goldschmidt will
be forced to take another look at
joining Minnesota's lawsuit if
another attempt is made to send
Oregon Guard troops to Central
America. The law that prohibits
governors from vetoing foreign
assignments for Guard units
was passed by Congress last
year after some governors refus
ed to let guardsmen take part in
training exercises in Honduras.

SOSC deserves to be called a
university.
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
