standards." said Janice Wilson, chair of the Board,
at the meeting at Oregon Health Sciences Univer
sity.
Higher education officials will begin pilot test
ing of admission assessments this summer in
selected Oregon high schools.
The new standards are a better way to judge the
aptitude of a college applicant, instead of relying
only on grade point averages and Scholastic Apti
tude Test Scores which may not truly reflect the
applicant's merit, said Bobby Lee. former ASIJO
president and member of the Board.
Instead of |tist submitting a transcript with sci
ence grades, high si hool students hoping to study
engineering for example may hove to compile a
portfolio of their science projects and demonstrate
what they learned from them.
I.oe said that by having students articulate their
scholastic weaknesses and strengths, the Universi
ty would be able to provide a better academic ser
vice. while being more cost-effec tive at the same
time
For example, if 30 percent of students in a biol
ogy class are not qualified to be there and 10 per
cent of them are overqualified, the University is
not using its resources effectively. Lee said.
"The University and colleges will bo more pro
ductive by channeling resources to specific needs,
rather than blanketing resources to assumed needs
of students.” he said.
Channeling resources to the specific needs of
students also will help to increase the low reten
tion rate of college students, he said.
In other actions, the Board approved a one-time
health insurance subsidy program which would
provide a $400-por-month insurance premium
subsidy for seven years for state and university
employees who elect to take early retirement
"This is a window of opportunity for faculty
who are eligible to retire to do so and obtain assis
tance with their costs of health insurance,” said

administration at the Oregon State System for
Higher Education

Warren said she would not
he intimidated by racism on
campus, as Collins-Puente
spoke of during her resigna
tion speech.
"I'm not going to let racism
run me out of office." she
said. "I'm not going to let any
'isms' run mo out of office."
Warren said she has seen
improvements, however
small, m the racism situation
on campus.
"If (Collins-Puente)
claimed to lie working for
students of color for four
years, then she should have
seen some improvement."
she said.
Warren said she hopes to
improve the racism situation
hut not by leaps and hounds.
"I'm not asking for big
jumps; I'm asking for small
steps," she said.

in Amsterdam. "We just want
[wopie to watch Schindler's List
and draw their own conclu
sions.”
Treasurer of the NAACP, T.K.
McDonald, said the movie
shows many similarities
between Hitler and the OCA.
For example, Jewish books were
burned in Nazi-Germany and
the OCA is trying to ban books
written by gay or lesbian
authors. Another similarity,
group members said, was the
banning of Jewish professors in
universities and the OCA's
attempt to discriminate against
gay and lesbian teachers.
"Hitler started in little steps,
and one of those first steps was
to degrade the Jewish communi
ty by removing Jewish profes
sors from universities — much
like the OCA attempted through
Measure 9." Berg said
McDonald said she opposes
the (X!A because she feels gays

OCA an Maxis but
they use the same
tactics.’

and lesbians won't bo the only
groups of people targeted by
"hate politics." African-Ameri
cans could be next, she said.
"If one of us is oppressed, we
are all down," MacDonald said.
"If the OCA has its way, gays
and lesbians wdll only be the
first group."
David Gibson, a Jewish
Eugene resident and owner of
the McKenzie Theater in Spring
field, said what happened in
Nazi-Germany could happen
again.
"I want to protect my children
from a prejudice agenda," he
said. "I don't want this to ever
happen again,"
