RASTIC CHANGES COULD BE in

ucatton.

The Idaho Task Force on Higher Education has pubconcern over the student's ability to cope with the higher cost of goi1lglO school.
"YOU'll price some people out of the market, unquestionably," he says. "I think we're right on the edge of doing that right now."
"Ilshed it's preliminary recommendations concerning secondary education.

Evans says that if the tuition recommendation would' be fully implemented, leaders from all regions of the state. The momentum for the task force came from the business community, says Richard Heimsch, professor at the University of Idaho. But he doesn't think that the task force represents only the needs of business. Heimsch was 'a member of the task force and was involved in the preparation of tile preliminary recommendations. The task force was formed in April,
1982 by the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry with the support of the governor, the legislature, the state board of education and the state superintendant of public instruction. The task force's proposals cover a variety of issues, including .charging students tuition; raising admission standards, separation of community college functions and raises for faculty based on merit. But the recommendations have not been met without concern' and disagreement from academic leaders.

• that the one-third

structional costs would be strictly adheared to. The state would not be able to shift the load more to the student in fiscally hard times, he says. One hope by Weaver is that the state would ease one financial burden or'the student-the institutional fee. According to her, every student pays $80 a semester for the Pavilion and other structures. One advantage pointed out in charging students instructional costs is "that students would be benefiting directly from their monies. If students are given safeguards in controlling the hikes' in tuition and defining costs, they'll directly benefit for it," says Weaver.

Admission reform urged

The task force, has also recommended raising admission standards for Idaho's four-year institutions. Currently all institutions have an open admission policy for in-state students.

The task force suggests that admission should be based on high school academic performance and test scores in determining eligibility . Yet, the, report did not give specific recommendations', only stating that the need exists.
-But Keiser sees possible difficulties in setting strict admissions requirements.
"The problem in that, is that in the '80s the national average age of university students is 28. They've been out of high school for nine or ten years." According to Keiser, many times high school records are not reflective of the older student.
Before Idaho students can be charged tuition to pay faculty salaries, voters must approve an ammendment to the, Constitution. While amending Idaho's constitution may not be an easy task, Jerry Evans, state superintendent of public instruction believes it can be done. "It's one I think that the public will understand and accept," he
"I'm for standards, but I: don't think

students go to the universities only between the ages of 18 and 22 anymore," he says. Helmsch believes, that the state will continue to be sensitive to those needs. "It'd be a great disservice though to bring students in unprepared," .he says. " If they're predisposed to failure, we're, not serving a worthy purpose." says. The task force believes that one-third of the actual cost constitutes each students' fair share. For the academic year 1982-83, the task force determined the average cost,' of education to be $2,400 per undergraduate student. One-third of that would be about $800 per student. The task force estimates that total tuition costs would range from $1,154 to $1,205 per academic year, under its proposal.'

• But, he added, the report "requires
• a

more comprehensive study and the state department 'of education will need to emerge with some general guidelines as to the best admissions policy." The task force has also recommended that the state universities and colleges cease what the report calls' 'their community college functions.' According to the report, the task force concludes that 'excellence' in higher education in Idaho cannot be achieved unless the' community college function is separated from the universities. It calls the two
