planned so that students and
faculty members could get to

the traditional academic set

picking, the students pruned
and cleaned up the trees,
participated in Five Square

assembled a tent being blind­

Visiting schools regularly,
in an atmosphere of quietude,
to observe and evaluate
classroom activity regarding
the 3 R's and “Relevance, the
Fourth R" is a means of
communicating concern for
humane, academic commit­
ment.
If ' education is to
fulfill its role, objective public
review and accountability are
mandatory.
Are Portland schools rele­
vant in administrative leader­
ship, in curriculum, in stu­
dent competence and achieve­
ment, in positive student
behavior, in human relations,
parental input, community
relations, and public rela­
tions?
Are students respected as
human beings? If so, exag­
gerations such as "eaten
alive” should not be used as
the ianguage whether in ref
erence to figuratively eating
people or farm animals alive
connotes an extreme condi­
tion counter to contemporary
community standards which
therefore gives the impres­
sion of existing emergency or
disaster conditions.
Are Portland educators
aware of the alienating im­
pact of exaggerated state­
ments or stereotypic labels?
Terms such as “bused-in"
carry emotional and political
overtones whereas the words
transfer students or com­
muting students do not have
the same type of impact.
Are school personnel aware
of the necessity for objective
statistics regarding student
learning and behavior? For
exam ple, do professionals
realize that information re­
garding remedial programs
should be accurately and
tactfully presented so that
the impression is not given
that commuting transfer stu-
dents are lowering the stan­
dards of a particular school
or that integration is com­
pounding problems of learn­
ing or friction inasmuch as
below average students, non-
achieving students and fight
ing students probably existed
in most schools irrespective
of race prior to desegrega­
tion.
To what extent is the edu­
cational objective confused
and handicapped by inap­
propriate administrative dis­
sent regarding bi racial, two-
way integration (transfers in
and transfers-out)? To what
extent can a dissenting view­
point effectively implement
any kind of integration?
Recently Portland schools
in transition have frequently
appeared in news reports by
one particular journalist;
some of the information re­
vealed has been cause for
active concern, initiating two
personal visits by me to
schools to seek facts.
In an October 4. 1973 visit
to Hayhurst School. I learned
that commuting transfer stu­
dents include whites and
non-whites.
Resident stu­
dents living in the atten­
dance district include three
A fro -A m erica n stu d e n ts .
Three classes in the reading
laboratory were observed;
the first had approximately
thirty-two students, of which
two were Afro-Americans.
The second el-ss of thirty-
two students had no minority
students. The third class of
approximately thirty pupils
included five minority stu­
dents. In a tutorial reading
class, three minority stu­
dents were being instructed.
Mr. Nelson, the principal,
stated some Black students
were doing outstanding work.
To what extent is incom-
assertions in the press? Are
parents given a chance to
respond cooperatively?
Is
adm inistrative leadership
sen sitiv e, perceptive and
free from racism?
How does curriculum com­
pare between areas?
For
example, compare remedial
reading curriculum at Hay-
hurst with that of Boise. To
what extent is class time
fully utilized for its stated
ourpose or for other non-
rssential purposes such as
extra projects, discipline,
etc.? It is crucial that par
ents and others seek such
answers.
Relevance assumes a part
nership of constructive con­
cern. involvement and ap­
propriate student discipline
and that no human being is
written off as unteachable or
unworthy of education.
Relevance, the fourth R,
includes reconciliation or
reprimand: there is a time
for each. If human worth
and development are the
major interests of parents
and the community, does not
it follow that relevant ad­
m inistration will require
reprimand by removal for
dehumanizing generaliza­
tions?
Educational leader­
ship commitment is rein­
forced by consistency in
words and deeds!
To be
relevant, words should not
unjustly discredit pupil be­
havior.

Browne, D-Oakridge, has
been appointed to serve on

The appointment was re­

months. She was recently

Scores of Oregonians, along
with thousands from around
the world, are focusing their
attention on San Francisco
this month where plana call
for the seventh world wide
Seminar on Eckankar Octo­
ber 19 through 22 at the
Civic Auditorium.
Graphically illustrating the
spiritual awakening taking
place in America, young and
old alike report finding an­
swers to the riddles of life in
Eckankar, described as the
path of total awareness. Ac­
cording to Chelaa (students)
of thia teaching, the age-old
questions of “Who am 1?,
Have I lived before?. Where
am I going?, What happens
after death?" are answered
in Eckankar.
Hosted by the Northern
California Satsang Societies,
Ithe seminar highlight will be
the appearance of Sri Darwin
IGross, the living Eek Master,
who heads the movement.
He will be speaking several
times during the event.
"Eckankar teaches that
throughout the various di­
mensions and universes of
creation, there exists a cos­
mic spiritual energy force
that is utilized in spiritual
growth and travel into inner
worlds,” Gross said. "Many
people are just learning of
the existence of these inner
worlds and of the higher
spiritual teachings."
Gross emphasized that Ec­
kankar is not a religion, a
philosophy, a Yoga or a
Metaphysical system, and is
not concerned with political
or social systems. “Rather."
he said, “it is concerned with
life or consciousness. More
specifically, with man. since
man is the only creature on
thia planet with the intelli­
gence to recognize who and
what he really is.”
According to Gross, arti
ficial means of consciousness
expansion are never used in
Eckankar. He reports that
many young people who were
reliant upon drugs found
them totally unnecessary
when they became involved
with Eckankar.
Ixvcal Chelas explained that
the pathway of Eckankar has
I been know to a select few
throughout all ages, and in
large part, has been kept
j hidden from the general
I m asses.
In 1965, Paul
Twitchell, the predecessor to
! Sri Darwin as the living Eck
Master, made these spiritual
teachings public.
The seminar will include
talks, an art exhibit depicting
experiences at higher levels
of awareness, music and a
children's calendar of semi
nar activities for the junior
! Eckist. A free introductory
lecture will be presented
Saturday morning, October
20. The public is invited to
attend and can receive semi
nar details from Eckankar

calls.
1. Dial direct whenever
you ran.
When you dial interstate
call« direct from your home
or office phone without
operator assistance, you
can almost always save.
2. ( all at the limes when

Intersta. ■ Long Instance
rates —especially dial-direct
rates—are lower on week­
ends, in the evening and
late at night Savings
can be big.
3. Plan your conversation
in advance.
If you know in advance
what you wish to talk about
— perhaps even make some
notes —you'll he able Io
share more news and get
more accomplished in less
time And this will save
money.
4. ( all person-to-person
only when absolutely
necessary.
Person-to-person calls
are far more expensive than
station-to-station calls—
especially dial-direct station
calls. In some cases,
you can get more than two

price of one person-to-
