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

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.
