7 N.I.C.E. Dancers Performing STUDENT COUNCIL The N.I.C.E. club puts on an exhibition of Indian dancing at the Klug s restaurant for the Salem City Club. (See Joe Nomee’s story on dancing.) Joe's Indian Dances by Joe Nomee Some people think it’s hard to learn to do a war dance, but it’s just as easy as learning now to drive a car. First, you have to get a friend who knows how to drum to help you out, or you get a record. You listen to the first part of the song or the beat, then you try to make your feet keep time with it. After you get used to that, you can start trying to get a little better every time you dance, until you think you’re as good as you are going to get. Then you can start dancing in con tests to see how well you can do in competition or to see if you can win any prizes. Before you start dancing in different places for prizes, you should make yourself a costume. I’ve found that there are different kinds of contests that people can enter wherever they go. Here are some that I have seen, but there are probably more. There is the war,dance, the man and woman’s owl dance, man and woman’s rabbit dance and woman’s war dance. There i§ also one dance that only the men do. This is the supper dance, and the women don’t take part in it. What's Cooking In Baking Class ? Baking classes for interested stu dents are held every Monday and Tues day night from seven to nine in the dining hall. The student volunteers make 800 donuts a night. They learn baking skills and provide the dorms with a snack at the same time. Since most of the volunteers are girls from Winona, Winona has received most of the donuts, according to Food Supervisor Mr. Douglas. Any inter ested student may participate. In one night of donut-making the students go through 30 pounds of flour, a gallon of evaporated milk, 3'/2 pounds of shortening, 3 pounds of sugar and 24 ounces of yeast. The icing iequires 25 pounds of powdered sugar and almost 20 pints of milk. The donut-making process takes 90 minute's from start to finish. The purpose of the program is to give students an activity to become involved in, to develop better work habits, and to introduce them to a new career that they might like to follow. by Darryle Marchand During our Student Council meetings we talk over such things as money, student problems, and things which would be important to you and us. So if ever you think the Student Council is not doing its job, 'think again. The entire Student Council of Chemawa ras a very big responsibility. The Student Council consists of the President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Other members are from the dorms and other organizations such as projectionists, rally squad, lettermen’s club, annual committee, loan committee, boys patrol, rec. club, Ag. club, and the Freshman, Sopho more, Junior and Senior classes. We discuss such things as how the dorms are being run and the problems of the students in the dorms and at activities. The President conducts the meeting. The Secretary reads the minutes of the previous meeting. Mi nutes are like a rundown of what went on at the last meeting. Then we have the Treasurer’s report, in which he tells us what we have left in the Associated Students Funds. Then he puts into a motion checks which must be paid out to people and organiza tions which need to be paid. Then we listen to the organizations’ reports. After that we discuss the dorm reports and class reports. Following the reports we go into old business, which must be discussed in order to go on to any new business. New business is then discussed to make changes or suggestions on such things which have been brought up at the discussions. Here we talk about getting things fixed or who we want for an activity which is to be held on campus. When new business is through being discussed, we adjourn the meet ing and tell when the next meeting is to be held. All this is in your favor in one way or the other. When you’re in need of help the Chemawa Student Council will try to help if possible. So when the Student Council asks to be backed up by the student body, you be there to lend a hand, because all they repre sent is you! So, in order to help you, you first must help us, the entire Stu dent Council, so that we are strong.
