Student Survey Says New School Will Attract More
A recent survey of a random
sample pf 45 Chemawa students
indicates that 84% of those ques­
tioned feel that a new school will
encourage more students to at­
tend Chemawa. -
The three question survey also
indicated that only 38% of the
students like thé new dorms and
88% of the students donot want
to see all the old buildings torn
* down.
: Student comments seem to in­
dicate that cramped quarters are
the biggest problem with the new
dorms. Most students also feel
that some of the old buildings
should be restored to retain the
historical background and spirit
of Chemawa.

ponse by per cent are listed below:

| ildings on campus should be torn

Title I Project
Set To Start
Chemawa’s Title I funded Com­
puter Assisted Instruction pro­
ject will be back in operation by
early November.
According to
Bob Henselman-Title-I Coc>rdin-
ator the installation of a nlew com-
puter system will soon be com-
pleted.
While Mr. Henselman is un-
happy with recent delays in get-
ting the project started the new
Hewlett Packard computer system
will save about $20,000 a year.
The computer instruction pro­
ject at Chemawa stresses sup­
plemental work in the basic skills-
reading, math and language arts.
Students working on the com­
puter system at Chemawa have
made gains in the basic skill areas
of as much as 3.0 grade equiva­
lents during a single year of work
on the computers.
Students and staff are glad to
see the new heating plant inst­
alled and in operation. Things
have been a little cool in build­
ings served by the campus heat­
ing system during the change
over from the old to the new heat­
ing plant.
