The admittance policy is designed to prohibit entry of un authorized students,” stated John Stuckey, activities director. “Sponsorship of the dances is alloted to major school organiza tions, and the profit from dances,” continued Mr. Stuckey, “goes to the sponsoring groups’ treasury. “In past years,” stated Mr. Stuckey, “we’ve been using live bands that are selected by the students of the sponsoring group. Juniors attend graduate course to improve public speaking skill Juniors Jane Nichols and John Luik took a graduate speech course in rhetorical problem solving at the University of Portland this summer. “They did quite well,” praised George Gerber, a co-student. The other five members of the class were graduate students, including Mr. Ger ber. “Jane and I felt out of place at first. They were very nice and treated us as equals,” said John. “When we first went there, we were really scared—petri fied is a good word for it— but after a few days we felt like part of the class,” agreed Jane. The class atmosphere was “really relaxed,” according to Jane, and “we talked a lot.” “He (instructor Paul Melhuish) would ask questions and discuss various points in class,” said John. “Basically, the purpose was to become better speak ers in the public forum,” said Jane. The class met three hours a week, five days a week. Each student gave three speeches, one persuasive, one in formative, and one argumenta tive, according to John. “The first one was so the class could get to know you. You gave per sonal beliefs so the class could see where you stood on certaim issues,” stated Jane. John’s speeches were about birth control and capital junish- ment. Jane also spoke about birth control, besides discussing patriotism and human equality. Each class member evaluated the others’ work, using a cri tique sheet issued by the in structor. Both juniors were in Robert Gerber’s English class last year. He told them about the speech workshop he was to attend, and asked if they would like to go also. “He wrote to the dean of admissions and talked to him,” said Jane. “We wrote a letter telling why we wanted to take it,” added John. Jane and John will be in sen ior forensics this year. Because of their experience this summer they are allowed to skip the usual first year. After game dances run from 9:15-11 p.m.” Rules for Grant Dances Only Grant students with student body cards or properly registered guests will be admitted. Guests must be registered in room 120 prior to the day of the dance. Guests must be of the opposite sex of the Grant student. Only one guest per student will be admitted. Guests must accompany his or her Grant date while entering the dance. No student may leave the dance and return in the same evening, No student will be admitted to the dance if there is any evidence of his or her having been drinking an alco holic beverage. School dress code will be followed at all dances. “The reason dances are per mitted at Grant is two-folcL,” said Mr. Stuckey. “One reason is for student entertainment. The other is to practice mature citi zenship in a social environment.” SCUBA DIVING Register Now! SURF BOARDS New and Used Ralph and Vi DeLashmitt 288-5509—ALL HOURS 4175 N.E.
