Business Management Experts To Study Oregon Education PORTLAND— As any busi nessman knows, basic p rin ci ples of success Include reduc ing costs and Increasing p ro - d u c tiv ity -- w lth o u t Impairing the quality of his product o r service. Can such rules be applied to O r e g o n ’ s already highly- rated school system? Business leaders now are pooling their expertise to find out, and in tackling their am bitious project they voice de cided optimism. Sim ilar task force studies by businessmen In other states have resulted in the saving o r more efficient use of m illions of tax dollars. Oregon’ s s tu d y , announced here Monday, Is being launched by Associated Oregon Indus trie s (AOI), s ta t e w id e em ployers* organization. It has the backing of top business leaders, of Gov. Tom McCall and Dr. Dale PameU, state superintendent of public instruction. The Oregon As sociation of Intermediate and C o u n ty Superintendents and other Interested organizations also are pledging their support. Aim of the project Is to ex amine th r o u g h buslness- managment eyes the budgetary needs of Oregon’ s prim ary and secondary education. Hope fu lly , It w ill result In suggest ions fo r more efficient use of dollars In the business end of public education. This is considered Important fo r every Oregonian, fo r most o f our tax dollars—both state and local--are spent on edu cation. It is important fo r businessmen, whose firm s in vest h e a v ily in education through their tax payments, and who frequently serve on school boards and finance committees. This faetprompts Dr. Parnell to say he considers business and industry to be " fu ll work ing partners in the making of decisions concerning education and taxation.*’ Private business Is supplying the manpower to conduct the study, plus the estimated >50,- 000 It w ill cost. Study teams w ill work under the direction of an AOI project steering com mittee of six business leaders, tem porarily headed by Philip N. Bladlne, AOI vice president and e d ito r-p u b lis h e r of The News-Register in McMinnville. Overall coordination w ill be exercised by Warren King & Associates, Chicago manage ment consultant firm which Is being retained by AOI’ s special education study committee. The firm has conducted s im ila r ef ficiency studies of government and education In Ohio, Washing ton, California and Oklahoma1. In Ohio, It was found that by combining the purchasing power of school lunchrooms to take advantage of volume buying, savings could amount to $5.4 m illion. Other m illio n -d o lla r s a v in g s were recommended through changes In maintenance procedures and textbook pur chasing — without sacrificing the quality of education. Dr. Parnell says he is "ve ry enthusiastic, seeing expertise from a ll areas of Oregon busi ness seeking ways to Improve business - management p r a c tices In our schools.” Having heard questions about construc tion costs fo r a long time, he says, he Is anxiously awaiting results to see i f they are too high. Educators h a v e not relied enough on the knowledge and abilities of business In the past, he asserts. "O ur training Is mostly in the teaching-lea m l ng process, and not management." C o n v e r s e ly , the business study is not getting into the educators’ field of expertise. It w ill probe Into such areas as utilization of buildings, book keeping procedures, use of hoses, Insurance programs, c e n t r a li z e d purchasing and other a d m i n i s t r a t i v e cost factors. AOI expects completion of the study In time fo r findings to be available to the 1969 legisla ture.

Dellenback Opposes Gun Registration (Washington, D. C.) Con gressman John Dellenback ex pressed his pleasure at the defeat of a tte m p ts to add Federal r e g i s t r a t i o n and licensing provision to the gun b ill which passed the House last Wednesday evening. He added, however: "There may be an attempt to add such provisions on the floor of the Senate, when that body considers the b ill.” Dellenback, who supported the limited House gun b ill, Indicated that he would continue to oppose Federal r e g i s t r a t i o n and licensing if either was addedby the Senate. "The question of whether to have gun licensing or registration Is properly one for consideration and determin ation by State and local govern ments. They are In a better position to know what Is needed in a given area and are p re fe r able as the enforcement agency if sue h laws are considered necessary,” he said. The House approved b ill pro hibits m ail-order sales and shipments of rifles and shot guns, sim ila r to an existing ban on sales and shipments of hand guns.
