Forum Awards Instill Confidence MA BOSTON, (ClS) Some colleges Actually may be weighing their course offerings towards math and science to lure larger certiorate contributions, according to a new study by a Boston investment firm. For many universities and colleges, selling their programs to corporations and other philanthropic agencies and individuals is key to economic viability, says the Franklin Research anu Development Corporation study. But the desire to create greater corporate (contributions) can change a school's policies and practices," the report warns. Many schools are becoming increasingly dependent on financial support from the private sector because the public sector the federal and state governments are giving less aid to colleges. bg Taming Annantront llay Owniiey, director of the communications program at Westminster College, accepted five awards on behalf of the Forum when he attended the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Fress Association's convention in Denver, March 1 5. had no idea what toexteel."said Ownbey, who feels that these awards are. a credit to the staff momliers and to the editor, who made the original writing assignments and recognized the quality of the finished product." the best minds and technology for their own corporate goals. And with the high demand for scientists, engineers and computer experts, more corporate support goes into high tech areas and less into liberal arts programs. Already, the report says, there is evidence that arts and humanities courses are suffering as colleges rush to create new math, science, and engineering courses to attract corporate givers. But others disagree with the studys warnings. It is true that business and industry tend to make grants in areas that are of interest to them." acknowledges Arthur Kammerman with the Council for Financial Aid to Education. 1 Editor Mike Moser made the selections and submitted the articles. According to Ownbey. Westminster was the only private school in the four year and under 5000 enrollment division, lie fell that the college was considerably smaller than those that it was com idling against. awards included a first place in the editorial division and a second place in the headline a riling division.

But such support hardly means corporations can control college course offerings, he argues. non-technie- al Council Recommends Diploma Solution Advisory from Continued page 1 The senior student survey was designed to find out how many graduates were interested in receiving their diplomas with an added option. Not only the degree but also listed on the diploma would be the student's major. Of the 200 students who will participate in the actual commencement ceremonies. 110 responded to the survey. Seventy percent of the students answered yes, they would like their major listed on their diploma and they would be willing to wait a few extra months to receive them. The advisory committee gave this recommendation to ean of Students Debbie Jenkins w ho in turn gave the. recommendation to Sheryl Phillips, tiie registrar. The recommendation was received too late, how ever., as the diplomas had been ordered. already A compromise has been met. For all those students w iuen are really interested in placing their major on tneir diplomas they have the option of ordering a second one for a fee of 1 " ' i ire.il a ora!" a ast h odilor and staff. , Certiorate contributions to education the highest category of corporate giving-reac- hed an estimated $1.29 billion last year, up 3.2 percent from the previous year. But while contributions increase, the re-- port Kints out. the diversification of support may narrow" as corporations seek greater control over universities in order to access For one thing, Kammerman says, nearly 40 percent of corporate contributions are unrestricted gifts that can be applied to virtually any discipline or department. In addition, only 1.3 percent of higher educations needs are met by corporation contributions, he adds. And if that means colleges are controlled by corporations, its a classic case of the tail wagging the dog, which just isnt true. Corporations support science and engineering departments because they want their technicians trained on the latest and best equipment, he asserts and because they want some students to stay in the field as teachers. Besides, Kammerman adds, every dollar of corporate support, even if it is designated for a high tech discipline, means the school has that much more money left for humanities and courses. the Boston Still, report advises the extent to which corporate donations have strings attached to their gifts may actually limit the diversity of thought on some campuses, and schools should guard against tailoring courses strictly to draw additional corporate support. inioatioiis majors..
