2 • Chemawa American E d ito ria l S e c tio n THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN B ooriiaf School To Congress? Early last month in Anchorage, the Democratic Party delegates chose Emil Notti over Peggy Begich and Chancy Croft to run against Re publican candidate Don Young in the up coming March 6 special election. The election is being held because of the tragic death of Congressman Nick Begich, whose plane was lost last October in Alaska. The significant thing about the Democratic candidate Notti is that he is an Athabaskan Indian. If he does make it in, he will be the first Alaskan Native in the United States House of Representatives. Emil, just like us, went to a board ing school. To me, he is a bright light for us to follow, along with many other native leaders. He has shown that a Native can make it in the world, not by sitting around and griping about the B.I.A. and so forth but by getting an education and doing something about it. Even though its early in the race, we are still proud of Emil for setting a good example, for in the many years to come, we must take our lea ders’ places and not lose what they have worked so hard for. S tu den t H ealth Careers The Student Health Careers Pro gram is here at Chemawa. Interested students should contact their Acad emic Advises Mr. Don Williams, Mr. Jesse Matt or Mr. John Heinz, Service Unit Director at the Student Health Center. Here is what the booklet “ To The First Americans” has to say about The Student Health Careers. “ The Student Health Center Care ers program is administered by scho ol officials. However, it is present ed through the health professionals represented at the Health Center. This is an in-Health Center activity accomplished through a “ pairing” of the health professional and stu dent. Planning includes one or more stu dent positions for each professional position. It is hoped that during second semester more Health Careers students can go on field trips to local hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and so forth.” /th e m e s f1' Member of Oregon Scholastic Press Published by the joint efforts of the Business Education Department and the Journalism classes.
