THE GRANTONIAN 2 November 8, 1968 G-Men selected for ski patrol by Kathi Robinson What would you do if you broke your leg while skiing on the slopes of Mt. Hood? Most likely call for the aid of the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol. What is so good about the ski patrol? It just so happens that Nick Lan- gus and Wally Holts, seniors at Grant, are members of this or ganization. This is strictly a volun tary patrol. Having a valid advanced first aid card, pass ing the skiing tests, and be ing 16 or over are a few of the requirements you must meet to become a member of the ski patrol. “We like helping other skiers,” commented Nick Langus and Wally Holts, “and we just like to ski.” The job is not really all hard work and no play. A few benefits that are given to the members make up for and cravat bandages. These all the work.

This group, just like any oth er, has officers and obligations. President, ski patrol chief and first aid chief are a few of the offices held. Students milling around the library with a question as to where they can find reference materials are likely to be asked, “May I help you?” by Mrs. Dor othy Langsdorf, who last sum mer received her master’s degree in Library Science. “YOUNGSTERS are sophisti cated today,” commented Mrs. Langsdorf. “They don’t want just any answers; they want good answers.” So to better answer questions, Mrs. Langsdorf has composed a set of guidelines to simplify the use of The Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature, in her opinion, one of the most im portant keys in the library. FIRST SELECT the correct volume of the Reader’s Guide. It is published twice monthly and is cumulative. Look for the material under the subject or author.

Sandy Blvd. How efféctive are newspapers in the classroom? Do you get the most out of reading the news paper or would classroom train ing help you? That is the ques tion the American Newspaper Publishers Association Founda tion is asking in their program, “Newspapers in the Classroom,” which they are sponsoring again this year. A test to measure the ef fects of using the news papers in the classroom is now being developed by the Educational Testing Service of the ANPA and Mr. Willard Mohn’s and Mr. Everything for the Sweet Tooth or those Hunger Pangs. “HOME OF GRANT HIGH KEGLERS" Timber Lanes Bowling Center 48 Air-Conditioned Lanes Free Baby-sitting Complete Junior Program 4030 N.E. Halsey 282-5541 Leonard Whitlow’s history classes will be participating in it. The test basically compares scores made on the test by those students with newspaper training as opposed to those without newspaper classroom train ing. Members of Mr. Mohn’s class will actually receive newspaper training while members of Mr. Whitlow’s class will not. The test is not a current events test. It is based on two simulated newspapers of four pages each, tabloid size with all types of news, commentary and features that are found in daily newspapers. • The material in these news papers is not written down to the supposed level of high school students as the purpose of the test is to find out how well stu- These tests have been given by the ANPA for many years. Last year the program involved 322 newspapers, 17,611 schools and 47,992 teachers.

LIST THE magazine name, page, date, and your name on a piece of paper, then present it to the circulation desk. Mrs. Langsdorf said that the last issue of the Reader’s Guide indexes magazines to October 10, 1968, and material in most of the current issues is not easily located. Students must search through the current issues for their topics. As a library service to the many students in social science who are studying the presiden tial election, a collection of re cent magazines have been assem bled on a book cart near Mrs. Langsdorf’s desk. • Shakes 8 Lbs. still $2.50 ^eu/eferi 4047 N.E.
