Reagan sets school goals
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan, ending a cross-country
education crusade, has set a goal
for the United States: raise
academic standards enough to
reverse the decline in college
board scores within 10 years.
Reagan returned to the
White House Tuesday evening
after a one-week absence during
which he delivered four
speeches on the hot political
issue of education reform,
breaking up the speeches with a
long weekend Fourth of July
holiday at his California ranch.
En route home, deputy press
secretary Larry Speakes said
Reagan had no further educa
tion speeches scheduled for
July.
In an address to the Amer
ican Federation of Teachers in
Los Angeles Tuesday, Reagan
said, “Let us resolve today: The
United States will not only re
verse its decline in college board
scores, we will raise verbal and
math scores at least 50 points
and do it within the next de
cade.”
Reagan has been pounding
on the “Back to Basics in Educa
tion” theme, emphasizing grea
ter discipline for students and
merit pay for teachers. But since
he seized the issue and has barn
stormed the country to promote
it, the president has yet to offer
any specific program.

“I’m not here today as a sales
man trying to peddle a pre
packaged, all-purpose, off-the-
racks education program,” he
told the teachers’ union. “I am
fully aware that there are some
areas where we disagree — mat
ters like tuition tax credits and
vouchers.”
But he added, “I defy anyone
to name a higher common goal
of domestic policy than working
for a renaissance in American
education.”
Reagan received a cool recep
tion and more than 100 teacher-
delegates walked out. But the
audience was polite, having
been chided by AFT President
Albert Shanker that they should
be on their best behavior and
give Reagan a fair hearing.
After the speech, Shanker
said, “Reagan did a good job
outlining the areas of disagree
ment between the AFT and the
White House, but the areas of
disagreement still remain and
aren’t mild disagreements in our
view.”
The president’s calendar was
clear of public appointments
Wednesday, but he had on tap a
series of meetings with his staff.
He was expected to be briefed
on developments surrounding
the investigation of how docu
ments from the Carter White
House wound up in the hands of
his campaign aides during the
1980 race.
Log cabin to be
built in two days
by Kelley Smith
Battalion Staff
The walls of the first preas
sembled home in the Bryan/Col
lege Station area — a log home
— are scheduled to go up
Thursday and be completely in
place by Friday, said Page Hig-
gens from Yesteryear Log
Homes, Inc.
Ed and Page Higgens, both
Class of ’63, have bought a divi
sion of the company, stationed
in North Carolina, to Brazos and
nine other counties.
“We’re trying to get more
affordable high quality housing
in the area,” Mrs. Higgens said.
The shell homes which can be
purchased either with preas
sembled walls or in separate logs
come in a kit and can either be
built by the company or the pur
chaser.
Mrs. Higgens said that be
cause the customer can do much
of the work himself, it saves a lot
of money.
The construction is scheduled
to begin at 9 a.m. A crane will be

used to lift the walls into place.
The walls must be interlocked at
the corners where the logs ex
tend out. The interlocking tight
ens the house.
The inside walls are paneled.
The process usually takes
from one to two days depending
on the size of the house.
Mrs. Higgens said that the
walls are made of eight inch logs.
Because of the size of the walls,
they are good insulation and
have little danger of catching
Fire.
“The logs are too big,” she
said. “They would have to be
drenched in gasoline like the
bonfire.”
Mrs. Higgens said that she
would like people to become ac
quainted with the idea of log
homes.
“I’d like them to get used to
the fact that these are not log
cabins, the’re log homes,” she
said.
The house will be used as a
model home. It will be located
on five acres of land one and a
half miles from the Welborn
Saddle Club.
