Survey: Indiana academic standards ‘best in the country’ , Indiana’s efforts to raise the academic standards of its public schools win high praise from the state’s business community, in the past a dogged critic. •, A report released statewide by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce salutes the state’s proposed standards in English “as the very best English standards in the country.’’ The state’s proposed mathematics standards, the report goes on, •‘are just a few changes from being ranked among the best in the coun-

The Indiana Chamber of Commerce, along with Indiana Education Information Center, commissioned the study by experts from the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation. In the past, the foundation, too, had been critical of the state’s student standards, giving the language arts standards - include reading and writing expectations - an “F.” By contrast, the Fordham reviewers said Indiana’s proposed standards should serve as a model for every other state to follow. A group of teachers, academicians and others drafted the new standards at the direction of the Roundtable. After making them available for public comment, the Roundtable now is considering a final version of the standards.

ER - had a time matching Turner’s vigor. Though Rueben, who is making her singing debut electrified and performed like a pro. ' The first opportunity to see the use of the high-tech, three-tiered stage was during the Song “We Don’t Need Another Hero” from the movie “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,” where Turner in her costume coat, was air lifted from the top to the stage below, as fire vigorously spouted all around. - Later she emerged in a chair, from below, beckoning her other well known asset - her legs - as she sang with passion, “Private Dancer.” Three of her dancers performed a show of their own as they sensually pulled the audience into the life of a dancer. '• There was not a lag in this pumped up performance - Turner’s supposedly last tour * as she included other show stoppers such as Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” Otis Redding’s ’’Siftin’ on the Dock of the Bay,” and a different rendition of the Beatles “Help Me if You Can.” The party still wasn’t over as Turner showed she’s still making popular music over 30 years sihee her famed start, with music from her current album, singing “When the Party ’ s Over.” And then she just kept on rollin’ as she expectedly teased the crowd starting nice and easy, then taking it rough as she stirred up the house a little more with the hit song “Rollin on

Looking For?”

The crowd seemed to delight in his celebration of memories, especially his solo ballads and songs from his days with the Commodores, where they hung on every word and sang along. Warmth exuded as he sang popular hits as “Easy,” “Stuck on You,” and “Running with the Night." Richie’s sound was clear and sensational, as if he’d never left the stage. Hopefully he will plan to continue touring
