Cham ollor Thomas Bartlett and |ani< « Wil son. president of the State Board of Higher Education, have scheduled a news confer ence to formally annoume the proposal Bartlett told the Medford Mail Tribune Tuesday that forming a public corporation will "give 11s the tools, take off the handcuffs" as the higher education s\ stem tries to main tain quality while • utting expanses Thu move would allow the system to squeeze in an additional 2.0(H) undergradu ate students, higher education offi( lals said ()f Oimgon's $|.2 billion annual higher edu ait ion budget, only a quarter comes from the state, Bartlett said The remaining 75 pen out i omes from areas sue h as room and board, housing, and a largo hospital About S2fX) mil lion in research funds comes from outside sources «»»< h year Yet the entire budgeting process is uin trolled by the state. Bartlett said. Under the public corporation proposal, the higher education hoard would control 75 per cent of the budget, while the Legislature would budget the remaining 25 percent "That gives us the ability to run otir busi ness much more efficiently,” Bartlett said. He stressed that higher education still would remain public it's not it radical departure at all.” Bartlett said "Given the way higher education is funded in other states, this is a "ho-hummer ' This is |ust new in Oregon " State Sen Lenn Hannon.

It will continue legal efforts to have I lint ruling overturned OCA Chairman Lon Mabon said there would not be time to start with a new proposal now and roller t enough sig natures to gut it on Novem ber's general election ballot.

And she sums up a person accordingly Graphologists, or people who analyze others writing, aren't supposed to blurt out one-word descriptions of the personalities they're assess ing. Perlman said.

She avoids the term "handwriting." as people who don't have hands or can't use them might rely on feet or mouths to guide their pens. "Bruin w rit ing" is a better label, she said, because the process all starts with thought "Of all the psychological tests, this is the most accurate Ihm ause it's from the self; it's not exter nal." Perlman said "In other psy< hological tests, you have to answer questions, but this goes right from the nervous system to the paper." Perlman said graphology is getting more respect all the time; many European personnel depart ments use it ns a tool for evaluating potential employees Shu says th(i Library of Congress n*i ently reclassified its materials on the study. fil ing it under "Psychology" rather than "()<.< ult Studies." But a psychology professor from the University of Oregon said graphology has been given less, not more, credence by psychologists nationwide. Hay Hyman said "brain writing" in the 1950s was used as a psyc hological screening much like the inkblot test This is no longer true, Hyman said. "The evidence is against validity. It's about as good ns astrology or tarot cards," he said. "People who use it try to make plausible cases for it, but the fact is the evidence is much against it." Nevertheless, Perlman believes teachers and psychologists could save time and guesswork hy anuly/.iiig writing samples at the start of school semesters and counseling sessions. A self-described frustrated psychiatrist. Perlman has been studying graphology since 1967 She completed an tfl-month course accredited hy the Chicago-baser! International Graphoanalvsis Srx i etv and has various certificates in the subjer t. She's also taught graphoanalvsis. a subtopic of graphology dealing with individual writing strokes. Besides teaching, Perlman sometimes studies writing at parties and will provide a compatibili ty analysis for people considering marriage or part nerships. She also holds free "self awareness" sessions in her home for people who want to find out what keeps them from being happy and fulfilled, she said. Prisoners break away from cycles of crime in boot camps - COOS HAY (AH) The lirst platoon to go through Oregon's now prison boot camp can be proud of its efforts to reject the cycle of crime and punishment that fills Oregon prisons, tin* governor told inmates on Tues day "This galvanizes a platoon of inmates into a community of women and men seeking to turn their lives around." Roberts said at a dedit at ion ceremony for the camp known as Oregon Summit Located in a former military camp at Shutter Creek Correc tional Institution north of Coos Bay. Oregon Summit took in its first 66 inmates on March 6. There were 52 left - 46 men and six women - after six weeks of in hour days filled with stric t military-sty Itt discipline, rigor ous physu al activity, and com munity meeting* to examine the attitudes keeping the prisoners from succeeding in a now life Iheir offenses include drug charges, assault, burglary and second-degree manslaughter Sex offenders and murderers aren't allowed. The program is designed to break young offenders from the cycle of crime and prison and set them on a course to a new life. "Attitude determines alti tude." Oregon Summit Superin tendent Hill Beers said in a recent interview. Despite statistics that show boot t ump graduates in other states go back to prison at about the same rate as other inmates. Oregon corrections offit nils are counting on the program to redin e the state s prison popula tion by 400 by If an inmate makes it through the six-month program, he can have three months to two sears taken off his sentences New inmates get a uniform and a dose-cropped haircut. Even mustaches come off. They get up at 5:15 a m . march in cadence everywhere they go, and perform under the watchful eyes of guards who went through drill instructor training. In the evening, there an* community meetings, where inmates examine the actions and attitudes bloc king their progress to change "I'm not just u keeper." said drill instructor Claudia Allen.
