PAGE TWO ROGUE NEWS Friday, Mar. 4, 1966 AHS Future Plans Campus -Styled School Has Drawbacks by Ginny Lawrence Future plans f or Ashland High School include construction of a new, campus style school. This proposal may, at first, seem undesirable. It seems that one need only look at past experience with this sys tem to realize its drawbacks. The between class dash which it creates handicaps stu dent and teacher alike. Campus-style construction hinders the student's capacity to concentrate on his study, especially during winter months. As the student passes from one building to another, the wind tears at his (or her) carefully arranged hairdo, spoiling the effect which he (or she) has devoted hours of setting and combing to attain. The ever present problem of dirt or dust blowing into the students' eyes often renders read ing (or seeing) impossible. This problem is secondary, however, due to the fact that students seldom have books or papers to read after the wind has taken its toll. Be sides overcoming the threats of nature, the student must also compete with cars, dogs, and neighborhood children for the use of their outdoor hallway. When the student enters class in his (or her) disarranged state, it is no wonder that the major part of the class period is required for re building. Teachers must also adjust to handi caps under the campus system. Students find it difficult to face their studies be cause of self-consciousness due to their appearance. Teachers, on the other hand, find it even harder to face a whole class room of such students. The common occur rence of students entering and leaving the classroom during class also poses a major problem. As the door is opened a blast of wind and rain enters the room, scattering papers, books, pencils, chalk dust, and hair pieces. There seem to be only two possible solutions to this problem. First, a method for transporting students from class to class could be arranged. This could be ac complished by building underground tun nels or enclosed hallways from building to building. United States Congressmen are provided with an underground subway to carry them from office buildings to the Capitol building. It seems reasonable that AHS students should enjoy similar conve niences. Such a system would probably bring nationwide fame to AHS, making the cost of construction and maintenance worth while. In addition to the many ad vantages of the system, students would enjoy their ride from class to class. The only other solution seems to be for stu dents and teachers to change their habits. If hair-dos were designed for durability in winter weather the result might be alto gether undesirable. The disappearance of those students who carry a notebook which resembles a rat's nest might be another desirable side-effect. So the problems of a campus-style school can be solved. Which solution is better? The second is cheaper. GRIZZETTES Grizzettes sweatshirts are due in approximately one week. The Grizzettes went to Kla math Falls as a club to root for the Grizzlies.

AHS Language Agenda May Include German Mrs. Zwick, English Depart ment head, announced that a survey of Ashland high school students is being made to deter mine whether or not a German language course would be worthwhile. If enough students express an interest in the program, it will be considered as a new course. However, nothing definite has been decided. The school board will have to find not only a com petent German teacher, but one who can also teach another course, as there will probably not be six classes. Thus far, about 25 high school students have signed up. Students will be told definitely by registration time if the course is going to be offered next year. Exchange News Vanity Fair Redlands High School, Red- lands, California, is establishing a pen-pall relations program with high school students and servicemen in Viet Nam. Since the school is not large enough to handle the program itself, their newspaper has appealed to surrounding schools for support. If any student here is inter ested in writing to servicemen in Vict Nam, they are urged to write for more information to: The Hobachi Redlands High School Redlands, California Mystery Students The mystery students for the last issue of the Rogue News were Sally Loe and Ron Surber. A 5'4V2" senior is the mystery girl for this issue. She was born in Ashland on July 2, 1948, has reddish-brown hair and hazel eyes. The mystery girl enjoys sewing, dancing and attending basketball games. Among her favorites are "the song "Light ning Strikes," the television show "Batman," and pizza. Her pet peeve is people who wear gaudy clothes and too much make-up. T-bone steak and candied yams are the favorite foods of the 180 pound senior mystery boy. He has brown hair, blue eyes and his favorite song is "Just Like Me." The mystery boy was born in Ashland on March 21, 1948. He enjoys foot ball, basketball and track. His pet peeve is conceited people and his favorite television shows are "Batman" and "Hoppity Hooper." Since last summer, more and more Ashland High School girls have tried to "improve on na ture" by changing the color of their hair. Many times, color ing jobs, especially when done at home by someone inexperi enced, ruin a girl's hair. There are several popular ways to change a person's hair color. Rinses are only tempo rary and last until shampooed out. When applied according to instructions to healthy hair, rinses add highlights and give hair body. Tints and semi per manent rinses are much the same except they last through several shampoos. Dyes are more permanent and will last until all hair treated with them has been cut off. Permanent dyes are not recommended for high school students because they require healthy hair to begin with and must be regu larly retouched. This can in volve considerable expense if the color change is a drastic one. Bleaching is an even more serious operation and should be attempted only by a profession al colorist, especially if color must be completely stripped from dark hair. A colorist can study the condition of a girl's hair and can also control the undesirable red and brassy tones which lightening hair may bring. Lightening hair can be expensive if retouches are need ed often. Lightening is most useful to a girl who has natur ally light hair that has faded to a dishwater shade. Hair coloring can add much to a girl's beauty if it is cor rectly applied. Pioneer Radio & TV Zenith Sales "WE SERVICE ALL MAKES" 151 N. Pioneer 483-3146
