Business Management Experts
To Study Oregon Education
PORTLAND— As any busi

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

out, and in tackling their am
bitious project they voice de

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

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. The measure also out
