Statement of Guidelines for Institutions Reviewed by Board Ashland-An 11-point state ment of guidelines for the in stitutions of higher education in the state of Oregon was re viewed and discussed here at yesterday's final session of the state board of higher educa tion. The statement, which was drawn up at a recent meeting o the heads of the institu tions in the state system, es tablished revised guidelines for "future growth and im provemcnt" of the units with in the system. Chancellor Roy E. Lleual- lrn told the board that each institution will be asked soon to formulate and adopt its own set of guidlines consist ent with the general U-point statement. To Consider Adoption The board will consider formal adoption of the state ment of guidelines at its Sep tember meeting. The statement declared the following objectives: To provide higher educa tional opportunities for as many as can profit there from. To provide a general education for all who are ad mitted to the institutions with in the state system of higher education so that they will acquire the knowledge, skills and wisdom for (1) personal development and enrichment, Planning Must Be Understood, City Roiarians Told A program of community planning must be thoroughly under stood and vigorously supported If it is to become effective, Ned Langford, Mcd ford director of city .planning told Rotarinns here Tuesday. In a luncheon address at the Rogue Valley Country club, Langford reminded members of the Medford Rotary club that the survey for the City of Medford, undertaken In 1931, had been "accepted with joy and filed." It was a good plan, he said, expressing the hope that the current study of immediate and future needs for this city would be carefully examined and not receive the fnte of the 1031 effort. Community planning In the U.S. was first undertaken by William Penn in Philadelphia In 17!)1, Langford snid, al though the Romans adopted this farsighled practice during the days of the Caesars, and the Incas had a program of community planning In the early days In this hemisphere. Plnnning Starts Medford went in for city planning bark In 1022 and started zoning In 1023. This is especially significant, the speaker observed, since first known zoning In this country was initiated by New York City in 1919. Medford's new planning de partment, organized within tiie framework of Oregon state law, has a staff devoted to providing information for the city planning commission. The Job of evaluating land uses, projecting population trends, studying needs of parks and recreation areas, and examining the problems of Medford's central business district is well under way, Langford said. All this effort and study will prove useless unless it is acted upon. Joint county-wide study in which Medford and Ashland are participating with such acencies as the highway com mission, bureau of public roads, is an example ot "gov ernmental togetherness," he observed. Langford. native of South Dakota and graduate of UCLA, has been active in planning work here for near ly five years. He was intro duced by City Manager Rob ert Duff. particularly through arta and letters; (2) responsible partici pation in a democratic society: (3) an understanding of the scientific methodology whicn has wrought a revolution in the ways of knowing and the extent and application of knowledge; and (4) an under standing of other cultures and natures as well as our own. Professional Education To provide professional education at both the under graduate and graduate levels in selected areas, depending upon the needs of society and in selected institutions, de pending upon their facilities and competencies. To provide opportunities for graduate study that will enable the state system of higher education to help meet the needs of the state and nation for teachers in the schools,- colleges and univer sities and for persons with Higher Education Board Sends Plan For Legislation Ashland-The Oregon board of higher education sent $45-million capital building program toward the 1963 leg islature here Tuesday with a recommendation that Ore gon products be used for the buildings. The board called for a study of Tongue Point Naval station as a possible addition to tne state system. All board officers were re elected, including Chairman William Walsh of Coos Bay. The actions culminated a two-day board meeting. The capital outlay program, which must reach the state Finance Department by Aug. calls for $42 million in structures and $3 million for land, planning and matching funds. The building committee spent most of the previous day reviewing and approving specific projects In the 1963 (15 plan. The full board rati fied the committee s actions. In response to earlier pleas from the lumber industry for more use of wood in stute college buildings, the board adopted a carefully worded statement saying the board "recognizes Its obligation to utilize materials and services which contribute to Oregon's economic growth." "Architects employed by the bonrd . . . will continue to he required to give preference to Oregon products, giving proper consideration to fac tors of safety, economy, dura bility, esthetics and cost of maintenance," the statement said. The statement did not men lion wood, but hoard members said it meant mainly forest products. The board will give more consideration later to some details of the building pro gram.

I Minear Speaks for Educational Efficiency at School Workshop balem- It is time a meas ure of economic efficiency was applied to school admin istration and organization in our state," said Dr. Leon P. Minear, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, to an audience in Eugene July 18. The state superintendent spoke to participants in a school finance workshop cur rently being conducted on the University of Oregon campus about financial needs in the next biennium for public ele mentary and secondary schools. Dr. Minear went on to say that "a highly expansive, in efficient administration unit may be welcomed as a meas ure of local control by the people of a school district. If such units are to continue in existence, they should be paid for by the people in such dis tricts and not through state aid and equalization." S475 Million Needed In speaking of fiscal needs during the next two years, Dr. Minear estimated that $475,000,000 will be needed from federal, state, interme diate, and local sources and pointed out that this figure is over $50,000,000 more than the amount spent during the current biennium. The state superintendent said that during the next bi ennium over a thousand new classrooms will be needed in Oregon to accommodate in creased enrollment and to re place out-dated buildings, a Humble Granted Oil Land Leases Salem -(UPD-Humble Oil & Refining Co. has been granted an oil lease by the Oregon Land Board covering 237 acres of state land in Marion and Linn counties. This settled a dispute be tween Humble and Willard Farnham, Portland, over who was entitled to the tract. Farnham's application was made Nov. 29, and Humble's Dec. 1. The board's policy is a first come, first served basis, but Farnham was ruled ineli gible because his bond was faulty. In other action the board denied the request of Farn ham, head of Farnham Chemi cal Co. of Portland, to com bine his application for an oil lease in Coos and Curry coun ties with one asking for tracts in Clackamas, Linn and Marion counties. significant factor affecting increased financial needs in the next biennium. By 1965. 12,000 more pu pils will be enrolled in Ore gon schools, requiring more teachers, more supplies, more equipment and more transpor tation facilities. Community College Costs A community college devel opment program would re quire an estimated $9,000, 000 for operation and con struction needs from state sources alone during the next biennium. An additional $1, 000,000 from local sources will be needed for construc tion. Minear pointed out that a comprehensive educat i o n a 1 program that will help equal ize educational opportunities for all Oregon children needs to include expanded school services. This would include finan cial grants for kindergarten and summer schools, exten sion of the school year, spe cial programs for the physi cally handicapped, mentally retarded and gifted, and util ization of improved equip ment, techniques and media. Measure of Efficiency Minear stated that "an effi cient school finance program is measured not only by the total cost necessary to realize a carefully planned education al program, but also by the means employed in raising and distributing a sufficient sum of money." The state department of education believes that a fi nance program should assure adequacy of funds, be a part nership program between the state and local school districts, be designed to give maximum quality of educational oppor tunity for all pupils, and give reasonable equity for taxpay ers. Suggestions Made To satisfy these principles partially in the next biennium and more completely in the future, said Minear, the state department of education sug gest that the state aid appro priation be sufficient to yield the amounts recommended by the 1959 interim committee on education, which in terms of census children would be S135 per census child for 1963-64 and $150 per census child for 1964-65. This would approximate for 1963-64 $77,000,000 of 46 per cent of the current expendi tures of all school districts for the year of apportionment. In 1964-65 $87,000,000 or 48 per cent of such current ex penditures would be appropri ated and thereafter the per centage of current expendi tures would remain at 50 per cent. Coordinated Methods The department also sug gests that the methods em ployed in distributing revenue tr-.m state, intermediate, and ' jrtain federal sources be co ordinated to achieve, most ef ficiently, well-defined educa tional and financial objec tives, and that continuing m.wf ' ' wttn y JULY22-28 Mm m jr II1 I s your farm ade quate pro tected from loss due to fire, weather, disease, or acci dents?
