Higher ed may become public corporation
PORTLAND (AP) — Tho top two higher
••duration o(Ft< mis in Oregon w ill recommend
Wednesday that the Statu System of Higher
Education Us omw a public corporation. fum
ing most of its budget from legislative con
trol.
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. R-Ashland. said
lie has heard of the proposal, but he hasn’t
vet studied it
"Certainly it will la- something to look at
and visit and disi uss .. in the next (lugisla
live) session,” Hannon said.
Southern Oregon State College President
Joseph Co* said that under thi* proposal, \\ f
would be more fr<*« lo respond to opportune
t»***». and lo lx- more entrepreneurial '
The public corporation recommendation
originated with tne 20l<> Advisory Panel, tt
cross-sen tion of private citizens, legislators,
private citizens and educators
Diane Christopher, a higher education
tioonl member from Jacksonville, said the pro
posal will he on the hoard's age:..la this
month
"I think a lot of what's happening is to get
the idea out there and gel some public input."
Christopher said,
"Having studied it in some amount of depth
now, we think it’s a good idea '

OCA will try
overturning
legal ruling
SALEM (AP) — The Oregon
Cittjwns Alliance said Tues
day it will not try to qualify
a new nnti-gav rights measure
for the statewide ballot this
year to replai e one that was
ruled unconstitutional.
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.
Marion County Circuit
lodge Rod Miller has ruled the
original proposal ineligible for
the ballot on ground* it vio
lates a ban on proposed <on
stitutional amendments con
taining more than one subject
The OCA split its proposal
and filed it with the state
Tuesday as two initiatives —
but for the 1996 In(IIo!

Post it note scribbled by your boss anti Perlman
will advise you how to handle her
Perlman admits when she sees penmanship —
anybody’s penmanship - she doesn't read the
words instead, she examines loops and strokes
She studies "T" crosses and "1" dots. 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. But she can't always stop her
self.
"Mv husband is always telling me to be more
tactful, but. well, I have trouble with that." she
said.
Everything hut a person's age. sex or religion can
In* deduced from writing samples. Perlman claims.
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

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

states go back to prison at about
the same rate as other inmates.
