The subcommittee voted re cently that the higher educa tion system should have one teacher per 17 students, in stead of one per 16.1 as re quested both by the system and by the governor. Lieuallen said it would mean hiring 105 fewer teach ers than planned, with a re sulting heavier workload on the rest. Lieuallen said If the sub committee decision was based on fiscal reasons, "I do not wish to remonstrate." But, he said, "if the de cision reflects an educational, rather than a fiscal, judg ment," it should be reviewed. charges of "meat cleaver" budget cuts and his promise of a "bare-knucl-le" fight to save civil defense, Dellenback defended both Hatfield and the CD agency. "The state Is obligated to plan for disaster," he said. "It Is Imperative that basic planning be done to prepare for a real disaster." He said that through civil defense there was a "funda mental program In Oregon that Is prepared to face either a major disaster or military attack." "If we emasculate our civil defense program so It no longer can make plans, we are taking a serious backward rlep," he said.
