2 C o u n c il N o te s E d ito ria l S e c tio n C .A .E .C . D o in g The Alcohol Education Center on campus has been doing some interest ing work in teaching students to pro duce their own educational materials. Albert Pooley and Jack “ Marcus” Wood have been helping the C.A.E.C. staff and interested student volunteers to learn how to make video tapes and other materials on Indian alcoholism. They are with the Western Regional Indian Alcoholism Training Center at the University of Utah. This past summer they had worked with Indian youth at five reservations and also one urban area. Chemawa is the first school in the country in w hich Indian students have the opportunity to produce their own materials on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, so everyone involved is really trying to take advan tage of this opportunity. The school is very fortunate to have these two men getting the Indian youth involved and started in this project. Alcohol and Drug Abuse is a very real problem among Indian people to day. There are materials such as W o rk films, slide-strips, pamphlets, and so forth, which for so many years have especially dealt with alcohol and its effect on the body. But there haven’t been any Indian youth-oriented presen tations that dealt with the Indian people. In other words, previous ma terials have not been aimed at the American Native People. Marcus Wood and Albert Pooley have been trying to get the Indian youth interested and involved with under standing the problem. Most Indian youth have seen and experienced the effects of alcoholism on their family life and their reservations or village. Marcus Wood has been teaching the students how to operate the video tape and how to shoot scenes. Mr. Pooley has been helping them learn how to role play or act out par ticular scenes. Then, when they leave here, the students will be able to go on creating and making their own films, slides and materials and teach other students. ACT A t i u t H t i t T t t t t Five Saturday mornings during the current academic year will probably be especially important to Chemawa’s Senior students who are planning to attend college. On any of those Saturdays - the first of which is October 21 - the stu dents will have an opportunity to take the ACT Assessment. Those planning to take the examination on that first date musthave registered no later.than October 2. The five national dates (with corres ponding registration periods in paren thesis) are: October 21, 1972 (August 21-October 2); December 9, 1972 (Oct ober 9-November 13); Ft oruary 24, 1973 (November 27-January 29); April 28, 1973 (February 12-April 2); July 21, 1973 (April 16-June 25). Cost to students for the guidance- oriented ACT Assessment, which takes about 3'/2 hours to complete, is $6.50. Resulting information reports are of valuable use to students and their counselors in pre-college plan by Georgianne Charles Student Council President We, the Student Council Officers, would like to WELCOME both old and new students here at Chemawa.

Students uncertain whether they need to take the ACT Assessment, or who are concerned about the location of the most appropriate 'testing cen ters, are urged to contact a Guidance Counselor. Students can also obtain registration packets and other ACT informational materials from their Guidance Counselors. L ast year approximately one million students in the U. S. and overseas took the five-part assessm ent, which is required or recommended for appli cants at more than 2,000 colleges, universities, two-year colleges, scholarship agencies and athletic conferences. The ACT Assessm ent consists of four academic tests and a question naire section that collects information about an individual’s academic and extra-curricular achievements in high school, immediate plans for the future, and career aspirations. The four tests - covering English usage, math, social studies, and nature sciences - are designed to assess general education al development. It is recommended that students write the ACT examination-question naire early in their Senior year, in order to make use of the resulting ACT data in planning for college.
