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.
Dr. Stevenson emphasized

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.
