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.

Drama Club Deciding Play
The Drama Club haven’t decided on
what play they should work on but they
have three plays in mind.
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.

It’s your first day of Driver’s Educa
tion—behind the wheel. You’re all ex
cited and you look at the car. Wow!
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
