"Oregon State is a compara
tively small and friendly school.
It offers many cultural advant
ages such as concerts, plays, and
well-known speakers. The caliber
of professor is, for the most part,
cellent."
't'So evaluates OSC Diane Du
Fault, who will be starting her
sophomore year there this fall
under the Klamath ' Education
Program. Diane, who intends to
become a social psychologist, says
that she particularly likes the
school's foreign exchange pro
gram : "There are many foreign
students at Oregon State which
helps creates good will among the
exchanging nations." OSC's main
disadvantage, she feels, is that it
does not yet offer a liberal arts
major, although one is in the
offing.
Diane was born in Klamath
Falls and raised in Albuquerque,
Xew Mexico, and Compton, Calif.
She graduated from Compton
High School where she was ac
tive in Honor Society, Girls'
League, Future Teachers' Asso
ciation, and Girls' Athletic As
sociation. Added honors included
winning first prize in writing in
.a foreign language festival and
having one of her essays printed
in a national anthology.
Diane says her particular in
terest in the field of social-psychology
lies in the area of racial
discrimination.
"I enjoy meeting and working
with people and from this a curi
osity as to what motivates them,
why the- can or cannot live to
gether, etc. arose."
To qualify as a social-psychologist
Diane will be required to take
a number of psychology and so
ciology courses. Two which she
has already had are personality
and development and introduct
ory sociology. The former, she
.states, is a self-analysis course,

introduced has been done with
out request nor consent of the
withdrawing members," and rec
ommends that "Hill 2121 and
House Companion bill be not en
acted." The Committee also discussed

Dept. Reports On
Termination Progress
The Tribune it providing the
following, for the information of
tribal members and other inter
ested persons, an August 6 news
release of the Department of In
terior pertaining to the progress
of the Klamath termination pro
gram, and its current status.
A Portland official of the De
partment of the Interior today
reported on the status of term
ination of the Federal Govern
ment's trusteship over the Klam
ath Indian Reservation.
Don C. Foster, Portland area
director for Hut can of Indian Af
fairs, said the principal remain
ing job the Interior Department
has in collection with the Klamath
termination process concerns the
sale of 11 sustained-yield units of
the Klamath forest wind the dis
tribution of the proceds to the
withdrawing members of the

persons, water users, a represent
ative of the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs, or who may be able to give
us some answers to the most
perplexing problems."
It was reported that Boyd
Jackson, Dibbon Cook, Jess Kirk
and Joe Ball attended the Federal
Power Commission hearing in
Klamath Falls. The hearing in
volved the California Oregon
Power Company's application for
a license on the Klamath River.
A prepared statement was read
at the Irl'aring by Boyd Jackson
and put into the executive Com
mittee minutes of August 5. The
statement which was signed by
all ten members- of the executive
committee urged "that no right
or license be extended to the
California Oregon Power. Com
pany or amended or enlarged, ex
cept upon the express reservation
that such license or amendment
or enlargement is made subject to
any and all rights of the said
Indians of the Klamath Indian
, Reservation and their successors
in interest, both individually and
as a body." "One of the reasons
for this urgent recommendation,"
the statement went on to explain
"is that the rights of the said
Indians have been and are now
protected by Federal and State
law, and we have been dependant
for protection of our rights upon
said officials of said govern
mental bodies that are now acting
in granting rights to others that
may or could be in conflict with
our rights. Some of our rights go
so far as to be based upon time
prior to our treaty of 1.S6I."
An invitation to the tribal
council to attend the "l'J.V) Scout
ing Among American Indian Hoys
meeting" to be held at Philniout,
Xew Mexico, from Sept. J I to
Sept. Jo was referred to the res
ervation recreation association.
The executive committee secre
tary was authorized to contact
the recreation organization with
the recommendation that it spon
sor someone to attend the meet
ing in Xew Mexico as a repre
sentative of the Klamath reservation.
