Oregon Many Americans have lound the system of TV ratings hard to follow if not impossible to under stand. The Nielsen Ratings, the most w ell-known of the rating systems, is the undisputed king of TV grading. As if ordained by the Divine Right of Kings, the life span of a television show depends on the Nielsens. Reports show that television is watched more by adults than by non-adults. It also shows that Nielsen Grades Top TV Programs Of 72 by Joseph Hawk U.S. History Rules Recent hardships seem to have struck all U. S. History classes at Ashland High School A disruption of teaching methods of both William Leybold and Richard Krominga has led to a new list of rules. This list of rules is incredibly strict and the V. S. room blames the administration for the unreasonable change. Principal Gaylord Smith stated that he had been getting complaints from sources he would neither "mention" nor "specify" about students, almost always from U. S., cutting class. "The only way to stop this is to crack down on it," said Smith. Smith added, "I have no choice." Krominga and Leybold's teaching methods allowed much freedom for students to do much as they pleased in line with their assignments; however, several students abused this privilege and skipped the class, know ing that it would not be difficult for them to get their assignments in on time. The two U. S. teachers intend to beat the system by "Running it to death." These harsh new rules apply such pressure to students that it is impossible to skip U. S. History. This new list of rules includes denial of library, resource center and restroom privileges. These rules' seem particularly difficult; however, this is the price now being paid by the entire junior class because a few of its members abused a good thing. GJN Scholarship Money Many students complain that there isn't enough money for them to go to a good college. This is a fallacy. Kor the student who is genuinely interested in progressing to a higher education and who is w illing to look around, there is substantial 'free" money. For instance, certain clubs and organizations sponsor scholar ships. One example is the Elk's Club. In the recent Elk's "Most Valuable Student" Contest, $60 went unclaimed because of a lack of applicants. This may not sound like much, but for the relatively little effort needed to get it. it is a pretty good haul. Entire books are devoted to organizations and groups which have scholarships available. These are readily available in any library. This not only pertains to college-bound students, but ther are' numerous vocational grants available to students who have shown promise in vocational-technical fields. around and dig up all of the possibilities. High school counselors should be willing to help, but its the student's responsibility to get started, as soon as he can. The treasure may not be a chest of gold coins, but a few dollars here and a few more there tend to add up to a tidy sum. RPD adults go more for the situation drama and western, such as C'olumbo," "Mannix" and "Gunsmoke." Teenagers, on the other hand, tend to enjoy situation comedies, and variety shows such as "All In the Family," "Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Flip Wilson." The Nielsens (the name given to people who work in this company) publish, periodically, reports of the most popular TV shows as well as the least popular. The producers and di rectors of the shows, by seeing the viewers' preference, can concoct ones which will satisfy thepublicV Nielsen listed the top fifteen shows picked by the public in 1972: 1) All In the Family 2) Marcus Welby, M D. 3) Flip Wilson 4) Movie of the Week 5) Ironside 6) Gunsmoke 71 Sanford & Son 8) The F.B.I. 9) Adam - 12 10) Hawaii Five-O 11) Mary Tyler Moore 12) Wonderful World of Disney 13) Here's Lucy 14) Mannic 15) Partridge Family Televised sports also brings in quite a large viewership, especially play-offs or champion ships. Follow ing were the top five for 1972: 1 ) Super Bow 1 VI - CBS 2) World Series - NBC 3) ABC Wide World of Sports - ABC 4) NBA Championships - ABC 5. Stanley Cup Play-offs - NBC The outcries of loo much vio lence on television has so far gone unheard by the majority of the general public. It seems that the shoot-em-up show s like Ada m l 2 or Hawaii Kive-O always have a Medical Center or Marcus Welby to patch them up. ftkt tf ay Hon CE: Wo STUDENT MY U6AVE THE ROOAA FOR ArJy REASOKJ i To One of the greatest rights in the Constitution is that which prohibits cruel and unusual punishments ...

Tot Concerts Set Dozens of "excited" pre schoolers will be swarming the Ashland High School campus every two weeks on Wednesday mornings According to Raoul Maddox, music teacher at AHS, it is all part of a program sponsored by the American Association of Uni versity women to introduce kindergarten students to music. AHS music students will be involved with the program which will try to touch on all aspects of music. The first session, held March 7 featured the high school's new synthesizer.
