Signing approved as prerequisite
By Sarah Clark

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.

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."
