Chemawa American N.I.C.E. Expands Brewer Hall Tries With close to 100 regular and associ ate members, the Native and Indian Cultural Explorers, (N.I.C.E.) is one of the largest and most active organi zations on campus. The group has divided itself into four committees. The Northwest Com mittee works mainly on drumming, danc ing and beadworking. The Athabascan Committee is concentrating on singing, dancing and telling folk legends. The Northern Slopes Committee is planning an Eskimo Olympics, and a Yukon- Kuskokwim Delta Committee is just organizing. Members have presented and attended programs throughout the Northwest. According to Mrs. Jackie Grape, Ad visor, the N.I.C.E. receives invitations or requests to perform daily. The club is presently setting up an executive committee to make the organ ization run more smoothly. Mr. Trent Hendren and Mr. Kent Garlinghouse are working as associate advisers to help with the increased membership. The N.I.C.E. holds regular meetings Tuesday afternoon after classes in Academic III. Membership is open to all interested Chemawa students. New Living System Brewer Hall is trying a new system called the “ Group Living Behavior Modification Project.” Mr. Ted Young, Brewer’s Dorm Counselor, started the program last year. This year he has made improvements after a full exam ination of last year’s results. Under the new system Brewer Hall is divided into five living units, each of them a team. Each team has a mana ger and two student captains, one appointed by the manager and one elected by the team members. Each team member is awarded points daily for doing specific tasks, such as room care and work details. The points earned by the team are added and then converted into a percentage efficiency score for the week. Two awards are given weekly, one to the team with the highest work detail efficiency and one to the team with the highest room-care efficiency. The awards ($12.50 each from the Title III program) are used for a group activity chosen by the team members. The purpose of the project, according to Mr. Young, is to help individual students of Brewer Hall live a more responsible dorm life.

The club has had quite a few girls and only two boys for trvouts. If more boys don’t come to tryouts, they will have to do a play that has mostly girls parts. The play will go into rehearsal very soon. Miss Graham would like any bov in terested in acting in a play to come for the tryouts at Academic One, Room 4.

What a beauty! The instructor gets in to start out with. “ Boy, I wish he’d hurry up and let me drive!” you think, smiling to your self. Then, later, he pulls over to the side of the road and you exchange places. Ha! There you go, the big driver, your heart is pounding fast. Everything’s going so easy. Wow! Is this all there is to it? Then all of a sudden your knees be gin to shake a little and you meekly manage to say to your teacher,“ There’s a truck coming this way! There’s two trucks coming this way! What do I do?” So many things go through your head. Just think—it would only take a few inches for you to run into that oncoming truck. You’s be killed, smashed. The trucks go by. Whew! That was close! Oh, no! There’s a lady running across the road. You might run right over her! You’ll be sent to jail for manslaughter! Hurry lady! Run faster! Can’t you read “ Chemawa Student Driver” !
