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.

Suppose a political activist buys
one share o f stock in a corpora
tion that makes guns. H is purpose
is to gain access to a list o f share
holders, so he can arouse their
opposition to the company's prod
ucts.
W ould the company have to let
him see the books?
M ost courts faced w ith this
question have said no. T ru e , every
stockholder is a co-owner o f the
corporation. However, say these
courts, the relationship is strictl)
economic, not political. T o see th<
books he must have an economic
motive. He must be acting, at least
in part, to protect his investment.

Recently two students
graduated from the Albina
Youth Opportunity School in
North Portland. 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":

Ground meat
Grinding meat -
any
meat - makes even tough
cuts tender, but it also multi
plies the surfaces where bac
teria can grow.
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.
