Mark Hatfield is the senior senator from Oregon, serving Thunderegg Capital Dale Parnell, State Superin tendent of Public Instruction, was featured at a dinner meet ing in Vale Monday evening, hosted by the Malheur County Intermediate Education Dis trict. Administrators, teachers and members of the news media from six Eastern Oregon coun ties attended the meeting. The superintendent praised the work of Sam Banner, who has directed the Vocational pro grams under Title III hi Mal heur County, and said that a program has been written and submitted to Congress as a pilot pioject tor the six counties. This is the program where Nyssa schools have gained new bleachers and new metals build ing, built by students under supervision. The next day, Tuesday, Par nell spoke to all teachers of Malheur County at their m-ser- vice training session at Ontario. Parnell spoke about career education reporting its pro gress in the last three years and claiming it is a fundamen tal purpose of education. “Ca reer education is working across the state because of the ‘can-do’ attitude,’’ Par nell said. Schools are beginning to meet the majority of needs of the majority of students” Parnell went on to say that this, the meeting of needs of the students, is really a fun damental purpose of education -to give the student what lie needs to survive. Of course, Parnell added, it is more than this too but this is a basic purpose. Parnell said that we can’t afford certain tracks in edu cation that stifle a student and trap him during his educational career. These tracks occur when a curriculum is designed for the college-bound, those that terminate their education at the end of high school, or remedial student... “A college preparatory cur riculum can’t be an end-all,” Parnell said, “rather that edu cation must help a person be a better all-around individual, a wise-consumer as well as a career man or woman Education must be multi-di- sciplinary, Parnell said, m-ail ing that subjects must be inte grated to better meet the needs of the student in everyday life. Parnell suggested that all types of professions can be divided into clusters of jobs based on basics they have in common. Career education ought to deal with these clusters with exploration into each clus ter. Girls and boys ought to be involved in this exploration, Parnell said, and understand the economics of the clusters. This is important, he stressed, in order to make wise-consumers of the students. “High schools sometimes at tempt to turn out finished pro ducts,” Parnell said. “This vo cational education andshouldbe left to post-high school train ing. Career education should be taking place in highschool,” he said and went on to explain the difference. Career education is the exploration of areas, not the specifics of one type of job Parnell described his idea of how career education ought to be set up within the schools. 1 he elementary schools should be concerned with career and awareness - the development of awareness ot the many oc cupational careers available and the foundations for whole some attitudes toward work and society. They should also de- velop respect for workers in all fields. In grades 7-10 career ex ploration should take place, Parnell feels that the mdust- rial arts program needs to be overhauled to include girls and boys who are involved in ex ploration of clusters. Occupational preparation ta kes place in grades 11 and 12. Parnell explained that he felt this should be an in-depth study of one type of cluster - not a specific job. Occupation skills should be obtained in the clus ter of jobs at this stage. Oc cupational specialization then, comes in post-high school life and can be included in com munity college programs, ap prenticeship, vo-tech schools, or four-year college programs. Parnell, who was an origi nator of the Oregon Community College Association, and who has served as president of the Lane Community College m Eugene, said he is worried that community colleges due to finances, will direct their basic aim to transfer courses and a preparatoiy for four-year pro grams. “This is not the aim of a community college,“ Parnell said. "They were set up to serve the needs of the people that the four year schools do not serve.” He explained fur ther by saying there were 60- 70 percent of the people in Ore gon who don’t need the four year program but have other needs which it is the purpose of the community college to serve. He claimed, lie was not vetoing the transfer program but community colleges must serve those who do not require this program too. Parnell concluded his re marks by saying that the real challenge of career education is bringing more rigor, more meaning and more purpose to education. “It is moving well across the state,” he said. “Let’s take the next steps so that in three more years we can have another meeting and have even more success to report.” B ration Files tor Ay>M>M»r Oscar B. Bratton, Nyssa, filed a nominating petition with the County Clerk Wednesday for the position of Countv Assessor. Bratton is a Republican who will run as an Independent on the November ballot. His nominating petition con tained over 750 signatures from all parts of Malheur County. Bratton said that the cir culation of this petition reaf firms his belief that the people of Malheur County are in interested in better county government based on ex- per lence, know ledge and ability.
