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

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.

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.

A friend is someone attached to another by feelings of personal
regard. Daniel Webster
A friend is someone who's always there
to share your laughter; to share your care
A friend is someone who's love is strong,
strong enough to overlook your wrong
A friend is someone who's never snappy
but will walk that mile to make you happy.
A friend is someone who will listen
even when wants to speak
And to help you he will hasten
anytime that you feel weak.
-S.S.
A friend is someone that you can turn to in time of trouble.
He doesn't care what you are on the outside but what you are on
the inside.
Kevin Gandee
A friend is someone you can understand and understands
you. Someone you like to be around.
