During Chemawa’s birthday cele bration there will be an art exhibit Friday, March 2, in the basement of Hawley Hall. Saturday the 3rd, there will be another art exhibit in the gym in the afternoon. Student drawings, paintings, and wood carving will be displayed. Some of the students’ work will be for sale and some will just be dis played. The art show will be opened to students and staff and the public. The art students have been doing such projects as drawing murals and displaying them around campus.Each mural represents a traditional tribal design, each telling a tribal story behind the picture. Marlene Moses did a contemporary mural of the Northwest Coast Indians. Terry Hurst did a painting of an un- known artist. She did a Haida de sign, which represents a sea monster in the form of a wolf, carrying two whales. She also did a Haida design which was taken from the Eskimo tribe, that represents birds in wo men’s faces. Kathy Kitka did a Tlingit design which represents a “ Shirt with Thunderbird.” Ailene Samuels did a Haida design representing the fabulous sea mon ster. Right before you enter the art room you will see a painting of an Eskimo Hunter design, which was done by Clara Kowunna and Pikok Kubanyi. One of the Art Department’s big gest project is to get a mural on all the trailers and other places on cam pus. CHEMAWA AMERICAN - Voi. 69, No. 4 Chemawa Indian School, Salem, OR 96303 February 8, 1973 Freeze H its Ouchi to Go? The money for our new school has been temporarily frozen. The plans are now finished. The next step would be the designing and constru- tion. The plans show that the new sch ool will cost around 11 million dol lars. The reason for the money being frozen temporarily is due to the 28 million dollars cut from the Bureau of Indian Affairs budget. Virginia Brown of Muckleshoot, Washington, Chairman of, the Chema wa Advisory School Board, and Olney Patt of Warm Springs, Oregon,another Board member, went to Washington, D.C. recently to look into the matter of the new school. Superintendent Albert Ouchi may be leaving us soon if he gets a pos ition in Washington, D. C. with the Bureau of Land Management, as the head of the Equal Employment Oppor tunity Office. Mr. Ouchi had been offered the pos ition quite some time ago, but he wasn’t sure if he would accept it or not. Now that he has, it will have to go through the Secretary of Interior, so it is not positive but sufficiently firm that he will be going to D. C. Mr. Ouchi said he has liked work ing at Chemawa very much, and he feels he has served the school the best he can. “ I would like to feel that I’ve left the school in a little better shape,’’ Mr. Ouchi said. He feels very confident that all the staff and students will be able to carry on. He has seen a lot of progress since the time he has been here. Mr. Ouchi isn’t deserting us; he has served the school to the best of his ability, and now he sees a job in which he may serve again. He will know for sure if he is leaving by the next week or so, and then, if he will be leaving, he will be gone from Chemawa by next month. Albert Y. Ouchi B irth d ay E vents Planned Chemawa’s 93rd birthday will be celebrated March 2, 3, and 4.
