Pictured 20-Year Expansion Plan Approved for SOC 4 Ashland new 20-year ex- pansion plan, approved by the state board of higher education, will commence this fall, accord ing to Dr. Elmo N. Stevenson, president of Southern Oregon College, Ashland. The plan calls for an expend iture of approximately $3 mil lion between 1957 and 1963, part of which has already been used for the completed physical ed ucation and Britt student center buildings. The physical education build ing cost $500,000, while the Britt student center was remod eled from the old Memorial Court, at a cost of $340,000. Of the latter amount, $125,000 was willed to the school by the late Amalia Britt, Jacksonville. Further plans call for the re moval of the old veterans' vil lage housing project to south campus. A new Commons, or dining hall, will be erected there and a new men's dormitory across the street from the wom en's dormitory, Susanne Homes Hall, will be built during the coming term. , Financed by Reserve This project will be financed by a reserve accumulated from student and miscellaneous fees, and by loans from federal and state funds to be repaid from , dormitory earnings. The two buildings will cost $725,000. Also scheduled to begin this fall is construction of a $469, 000 science building, with work on a $350,000 heating plant planned for after the first of the year. Requests for state building construction appropriations for the period 1959-61 total $934, 000. Included are $550,000 for construction of a social science building, and' $192,000 for a second men's dormitory. A matching sum is to be raised by the college for the men's dorm. For the years 1961-63, a $990,- 000 expenditure is planned, in cluding a $275,000 arts build ing, and a $495,000 addition to the physical education and health plant. The balance will be earmarked for an experiment al school building.

Schools Rated By Set Standards Questions in the minds of par ents and taxpayers are, "How are our schools rated, and who rates them?" The schools of Oregon are periodically evaluated by repre sentatives of the state depart ment of education to determine whether they meet standards set by the state. When these representatives evaluate a school for a standard rating, they consider: (1) land site, (2) school building, (3) in structional program, (4) teach ing materials, (5) teacher turn over, and (6) playground equip ment. The state department evalua tion classifies the school into one of four categories: standard, standard with advice, condition ally standard, and non-standard. Standard School A "standard school" has met the requirements set forth by the state board of education. A "standard 'school with ad vice" is rated standard, and has met the minimum requirements of a standard school considering the potential of the district at the time of the survey. Such a school enjoys all the legal sta tus of a standard school, but certain requirements must ulti mately be met to enjoy unquali fied standard rating. A school with a "conditional ly standard" has certain things that need immediate attention. The school so rated must fur nish the state department of ed ucation a plan of improvement. The school must make regular progress reports to the state, showing advances made toward eliminating "conditionally stan dard" conditions. If such a sit uation is not corrected within a reasonable length of time, the school may be declared "non standard" and lose its share of state funds. Non-Standard Rating A non-standard" has various faults causing its. low rating. State funds cannot be received by the school district with a "non-standard" rating. However, all schools are re-evaluated from time to time, and ratings may change as conditions warrant. At present, there are no "non standard" schools in Jackson county. . Working in conjunction with the county school superintend ent's office in evaluating and rating schools, the state depart ment of education always allows adequate time for correcting sub-standard conditions to avoid jeopardizing the school program.
