Page 6 Portlaad Observer Thursday, February 21, 1974 AYOS graduates students Students of Monroe High School present Black Culture program for classmates. Monroe students demonstrate culture by Rosemary Alien Under the theme ‘Kuumba the Swahili word for crea tivity, Monroe High School presented a provocative hour of educational entertainment. On Friday. February 15th, in conjunction with Black Cul tural Month, approximately 40 young ladies produced a program of dance, poetry, music and fashion. Pride and Black culture was emphasized to the pre dominantly white student body. “We would like their response to be that they understand our point of view, as we would want to under stand theirs," explained one Black student before the orogram. Highlights of the program included a speech by San Diego artist Eddie Edwards, a pop hit by four students, and poetry written by the students themselves. Marcia Jackson, a Monroe student, released some hidden talents with a poem, "And y e t ..." The program was brought to a close with the singing of the Black National Anthem by the entire student body. Many events portraying Black culture take place luring February, which is now recognized by many as Black Cultural Month, yet not many reflect the sin cerity of a group of 40 stu dents at Monroe High.

Mae Hatcher and Gregory Clay, both 18 years old. com pleted all credits necessary to graduate from high school. The atu- dents will actually graduate through a local high school. Albina Youth Opportunity School IAYOS). which enrolls a maximum of 70 students, operates under a team teach ing policy where a ratio of 10 students to 1 teacher is maintained. Students unable to find interest or motivation in a public school situation often find that they are able to learn more at AYOS where rules are more flexible, yet a high standard curricu lum is maintained. Although there is always a waiting list for enrollment into AYOS. Director Rance Spruil does not think ex pansion is their biggest need right now. “More services to deal with students is what we really need," Spruil said. “Activist” Shareholder “Considering the huge size of many modem corporations and the complicated nature o f their bookkeeping, to perm it their thousands o f stockholders to roam at w ill through their records would render impossible not only any attempt to keep their records effi ciently but the proper carrying on o f their businesses." On the other hand, a stock holder with a legitimate economic motive generally cannot be pre vented from seeing the books merely because the management doesn't happen to like him. One stockholder was refused access to his company's books be cause he was considered a “trou blemaker." He was indeed a trou blemaker. But the trouble he wanted to make was getting rid o f the management, which he thought was doing a bad job o f running the business In these circumstances, a court ordered the company to open the sooks for his inspection. The court said that fo r a disgruntled in vestor, throwing the management out was a natural and proper ob jective. Th e activist shareholder is new but the problem is old: how open should a corporation's books be? Clearly, there has to be some sort o f lim itation on access. As one judge explained, in barring a stock holder who was “just curious": A p u b lic service fe a tu re o f the A m erican B a r Association and the O regon State B a r.

Meat - like everything we come in contact with - contains some bacteria. Mishandling gives them the chance to grow. Hamburger needs plain old “tender loving care". With out it, even the best recipe for hamburger can be wasted because you risk a foodborne illness - so take the time to handle hamburger prop erly, advises Cal Robertson, Multnomah County Extension Home Economist. The best place to start is at the beginning - at the store where you buy the hamburger or ground beef. The package should be sealed to protect the meat inside. Avoid torn packages. Check to see that the meat feels cold. The temperature in the refrigerator case should be 40 degrees F. or lower. Don’t bury your meat pur chases in the bottom of your shopping cart, where the packages can get punctured - make meat one of your last purchases in the store. Have the clerk bag your ham burger with your other perishable purchases, such as milk, eggs and frozen foods. Then, get it all home quickly and get that hamburger intc the refrigerator of freezei right away. The next step in caring for hamburger is proper storage ment or in a special meat keeper section. You can refrigerate ham burger “as is” if it comes in transparent wrap. Ham burger in butcher paper should be unwrapped, put on a plate or in a container and covered. If you plan to use ham burger within the next week or two, you can leave it right in the transparent plastic store wrap. For longer storage, divide meat into portions for easy use. Wrap it tightly in a moisture resis tant material. If aluminum foil or freezer paper is used, label and date it. You can freeze hamburger at 0 de grees F. for two to three months with little loss of quality. put it in the coldest part of your refrigerator - usually near the ice cilbe compart everyone to attend and help us recycle our valuables, for a worthy cause.
