Countering trends toward increased college tuition, George Fox College next fall will reduce its tuitioncharges over the current rates.

The $30 drop f rom $1,620 to$1,590 is believed to be the first timean Oregon college has lowered tuition over a previous year. Approvalfor the change was made by thecollege's Board of Trustees at a semiannual meeting on campus.

At the same time, the board alsoapproved a $3 a term reduction instudent body affairs fees by eliminating the athletic fee students current

ly pay to the college to support theirown attendance at college sportsevents. The athletic department budget will not be reduced, however,with the college's general budgetabsorbing the approximately $3,500the students would have paid duringthe coming year.

GFC's Prof. Orkney DiscoversWhy the Chrysanthemum Blooms

. t i

That gift chrysanthemum youoften give or receive—what makesit bloom when it does?

A George Fox botanist has conducted one of only about a dozenstudies of its kind to help identifythe definite procedure involved.

Dale Orkney

And in the process, Dale Orkney,a faculty member since 1963, earneda doctorate from the University ofIdaho for his effort. The investigation and study was supported by aNational Science Foundation ScienceFaculty Fellowship.

In his 98-page report documentedwith 32 photomicrographs, Orkney,during a 15-month period, identifiedthe altering of basic protein andDNA (a hereditary material) relationships as the likely means thatgoverns the development of flowers.

Te s t s w e r e m a d e o v e r a s e v e n -week period, with eight collectionsmade of growing shoot tips. Conventional histological procedureswere used with the shoot tips slicedto a thickness of seven twenty-fivethousandths of an inch and mountedon glass microscope slides.

The tissues were then stained—one group to locate RNA, a chemical messenger produced by geneswhich contain the "blueprint" forcell production.

Another stain localized histonesor basic protein in the tissue region.The various distributions were studied by Orkney and an inverse relationship discovered between basicprotein and RNA.

"It was then inferred that duringflower development, the altering ofbasic protein did allow genes toproduce RNA, thereby bringingabout flower development," Orkneyreports.

RNA carries the "message" fordevelopment from the nucleus of thecell to the cytoplasm or main bodyof the cell. Since all cells have genesand DNA, the coded blueprint,Orkney's study was to determinewhat was blocking or turning offgenes for flowering.

He worked on the hypothesis thatgenes that control flowering are"de-repressed" or allowed to expressthemselves through an altering of thehistones or protein which has a basicpH.

The GFC professor's study involved sampling of various stages ofdevelopment of the vegetative stemtip to the start of development of theinflorescence of flower head, whichin the chrysanthemum is really acollection of many small flowers.

Similar studies have been made,but as far as is known, Orkney's isthe first to be as comprehensive andto take in as many stages of development of the flower.

Study procedures were testedthrough control samples. Technicaltitle of Orkney's study is "Histo-chemical Investigation of Basic Protein and Ribonucleic Acid Distribution in the Developing Inflorescenceof 'Chrysanthemum morifoHum'."

Students Pledge $7500 toAveraging $30 apiece, more than

60 percent of the students at GeorgeFox College have pledged nearly$7,500 in a first-of-its-kind, person-to-person missionary endeavor.

The overwhelming response to aproject planned by Chaplain RonCrecelius will allow the college tosend as many as five students aroundt h e w o r l d t h i s s u m m e r t o s e r v evarious missionary needs.

More than 40 students have applied as candidates for service. Andthat also takes some sacrificing inaddition to the pledges, since studentvolunteers will not be paid for theirs u m m e r s e r v i c e s a n d w i l l f a c enormal tu i t ion and room and boardcharges for the following school yearwhen they return without a summerof paid employment.

The 250 students, not noted forexcess spending money, pledged theirsupport in a five-minute period atthe end of a week-long campus miss i o n s c o n f e r e n c e .

The missionary-sending projectw a s t h e c l i m a x o f t h e s i x t h a n n u a l

missionary conference, which featured 18 missions representativesw i th Huber t M i t che l l o f Go-Ye Fe llowship as the main speaker.

Crecelius, who says he has wantedto try such a project for "ihree years,watched in amazement as a five-foothigh cardboard thermometer set torecord the tally up to a projected

$2,000 goal, ran out of red ribbon,passing by 3i times the hoped-fora m o u n t .

Students have no doubt the goalwill be met. Part of the money is

f rom tu i t ion or o ther expenses, "Crecelius says. "We stressed thatand will continue to do so."

"This is believing-in-God money,"the chaplain says. "This is moneythat they don't have now but throughfaith are believing they will have byt h e d e a d l i n e . "

Students making the missions service will be selected by a studentcommittee composed of the studentbody president, the president of thesponsoring Student Christian Unionand three missions conference chairm e n .

Can the students raise the $7,379.-49 actually pledged? Crecelius is notworried. In fact, he believes morethan that will probably be collectedsince nearly 40 percent of the students were not at the meeting andmany a l ready are repor t ing theywish to help meet the goal.

"Since it's a God-honoring project,He honors it," the chaplain adds.

Half of StudentsGet F inancia l Aid$350,000 Allotted

More than half of the students atGeorge Fox College are receivingsome form of financial aid throughthe college, which this year will distribute nearly $350,000 to helpstudents obtain their college educat i o n .

According to Financial Aids Director Sheldon Newkirk, 250 of thecollege's 443 students, or 58.6 percent of the students, received financial help last term. That's up fromthe approximately 56 percent receiving help last year.

Also up by nearly 25 percent isthe amount of direct help the collegeis giving to its students. Funds forhonors students. Intensified Studiesstudents, athletic grants, musicawards, and student assistants lastyear reached $80,400. This year theamount has climbed to $104,510.

Underwr i t ten scholarsh ips supported by public foundations, businesses and individuals a year agostood at $17,082. This year the levelis $22,305.

Currently the college-backed aidand public aid reaches $126,815, alarge increase over the $97,482 distributed in the same categories lasty e a r .

George Fox, during the last academic year, distributed $345,000 inassistance, according to Newkirk,with $99,400 coming from NationalDefense Student Loan fund (NDSL),$41,987 in federally insured loans,$32,000 through work-study grants,$8,500 from "walk-in" scholarshipsand $41,000 on work grants.

Although the federal NDSL grantswere reduced by about $20,000 thisyear, other college funds are supplying additional money so that totalaid to students is remaining at thesame level, "Newkirk says.

He said the problems of studentfinancing are more difficult this yearthan previously because so manywere unable to find summer jobs inthe present state of the nation'se c o n o m y .

He put in a plea for more publiccontributions to the student aid program. "We've sold the college,there's no question there, but weneed more money with which to helpprospective students," he said. Newkirk said despite the college's 15 percent growth in the freshman class,another 44 students were unable tocome because they could not findadequate funds.

"Over the top

Purpose of the change, accordingto President David Le Shana, is anattempt to enable more students tofinish the academic year as costsbecome lower each term under thesliding board and room scale. Students coming in either second orthird term under a new arrangementwill pay one-third the total cost, or

In a related move, the board approved a plan to set tuition chargesone year in advance, enabling students to plan for at least six terms.With this system, the board in itsJune meeting will set rates not forthe following school year but for theschool year 1973-74.

Faculty Okays IncreaseIn Credit-by-Exam Plan

George Fox Col lege, which inMay became the first college in Oregon to establish a credit-by-examina-tion program, will expand that syst e m f o u r f o l d t o a l l o w s t u d e n t s t otake up to one-half of their collegerequirements without ever attendingc l a s s .

A faculty-approved change will increase the number of hours acceptable for credit under the testingprogram from the initial 24 to 96.Currently the college requires 189hours for graduation.

Using the nationally standardizedCollege Level Examination Program(CLEF), the system is seen as analternate route to education, enabling students to accelerate or adapttheir degree programs.

Examinations will take placeeither on campus or at a regional

testing center. If they meet theGeorge Fox standards set for theregular course, test takers will begiven credit for the subject as ifthey had taken the full lecture series.

George Fox faculty membersestablish prerequisites, scores andpercentiles required for credit. CLEFis based on the pass-fail system.

Examinations will be given onceeach term on campus. Students paya $5 per credit hour fee with aminimum of $25 charged if the student achieves a score sufficientlyhigh to receive credit.

The program, experimental whenit was first adopted by the college,n o w o l Te r s s o m e 1 5 0 h o u r s o f c r e d i t

Miss May says of her new volunteer,non-paying position. "I found veryfew are registered here—either theydon't know the procedure or can'ttake the time to go downtown."

Although college students 18 andover are eligible to vote, they mustreside in Oregon for six months priorto an election to be eligible to vote.Since classes began in late September, most students will be eligible tovote in the Oregon primaries in May.
