Signing approved as prerequisite By Sarah Clark Emerald Reporter High school students can use American Sign Language to ful fill their foreign language requirement for admission into state colleges and universities, according to a policy adopted Friday by the state Hoard of Higher Eduction last month, board members voted to require proficiency in a second language as an admis sions requirement for OSSHE institutions starting in the 1®97 <IH school year The board unanimously approved to add the American Sign language proposal to the language requirement Friday. American Sign Language is the language used at the (ia I - laudet University in Washing ton. D.C.. the world's only uni versity for deaf students Proficiency standards will be sot for each language taught in on Oregon high school using the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Language Guidelines. The standards will be set to account for variation in difficul ty of the foreign language The purpose of the foreign lan guage requirement is to prepare students to communicate with others from around the world, saui hoard President Bob Bailey Greg Haretos, a < otinselor at the Oregon School for the Deaf, said American Sign Language fils the requirement's purpose because it would foster commu nication between hearing and deaf students. "The deaf do not consider themselves handicapped." Hare tos said "They see themselves as people who speak, a different language." Both hearing and deal students would benefit if more hearing students learned American Sign language. Han't os said. Besides allowing people to talk to each other, tlu* language builds mem on- skills and tenches hearing stu dents a language structure that could help them learn other for eign languages, he said. Students would probably have to test their proficiency in interview^ with other American Sign Language speakers. Haretos said, because the language has no written form. Of the 300 school districts in the state, probably fewer than 50 offer any form of sign language, said Don l.orenzen. director for the Oregon School for the Deaf. The language is used primari ly in North America. Haretos said. Other Kngiish-speaking countries such as Australia use a different sign language. OPTIONS Continued from Page 1 sily In other hoard business, members gave final approval to the proposed policy for Second 1 -a n • gunge College Admissions along with on amend ment to include profit iency in American Sign Iwsn guage The policy will require proficiency in a second language as an admissions requirement for state institutions starting in the school year. The University Vice Provost for Planning and Resources Gerald kissler made a presentation to the board on higher education and the state's et on omy He said more people will need a college edu cation as the demand for blue-collar jobs decreas es, "This is the time in order to prepare for the econ omy,” kissler said "We need more t ollege grads to fill the jobs, and we need to attract more busi nesses in the high-tech industry. The only way we'll attract the businesses is for the University to do more research" In a lx>ard members" re|H>rt kissler also stales that because of an increase in the number of babies I torn 111 tlu* slain between 1072 and 1982, more people will 1m- graduating from high school. The im re.ise poses some serious problems for the stale. Kissler said. One out of two of the state's high si hool graduates who will want a college educa tion will not I>e able to get into any community col lege, private school, stale college or university in Oregon by the year 2001. according to the report. “I'm not optimistic about the short term, but if we make the right decisions now, in the long run we ll be OK." Kissler said. "In the short term. I don't see a mov ement in Salem that leads to tax reform this year.'' The lack of tax reform options. Kissler said, has forced the board to discuss measures such as pri vatization of one or more schools. "I'd hate to (privatize the University)," Kissler said. "Hut I'd rather see that than the quality of the University go down " Quality would suffer, Kissler said, because more faculty would Im- laid off if tax revenue isn't creat ed Also, whenev er downsizing occurs, quality suf fers "You can always downsize a little, but this is ridiculous." Kissler said. "This is the stuff that depression is made of."
