The YM CA Jr. Dram a C lub
Teen Theater Workshop presented
“ Whatever Happened to Soul, Rock
and R o ll, and the R e vo lu tio n ”
August 25th, at the King Neigh
borhood Facility Cafetorium. Im
provisations portraying rock and roll
music and revolutionary thought
from 1960 to 1970 were depicted by
the drama group as a culmination of
their summer workshop. The drama
group was directed by Ms. Rosemary
Allen.
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Green and
th e ir young daughters were the
guests o f Mrs. Emma Chiles, August
26th. M r. Green is Mrs. Chiles’
nephew.
Mrs. Coretta King believes that,
fifteen years after Dr. Martin Luther
King gave his famous “ 1 Have A
D re a m " speech, there has been
tremendous
progress
toward
equality, but the dream will not be
realized u n til there is a fu ll em
ployment economy.
The highest annual salary fo r
a Black woman a d m inistrator
w orking fo r the Portland Public
Schools is $30.200 as a vice principal;
the highest for a white woman ad
ministrator is $34,000 as a principal.
The three coordinating principals in
the district have the lowest principal
salaries; a ll are Black, two are
women.
N early sixty m illio n young
Americans ranging from kindergar
ten to college age w ill enter the
nation’s schools in September. The
largest single class w ill be the
4,268,000 high school seniors. This is
because most o f the class was born in
1961, the year of the largest number
o f births in American history.
According to the American Coun
cil o f L ife Insurance a typical
Am erican homemaker is w orth
$17,000 a year to her family. I f a
family wanted to hire specialists to
handle a housewife’ s chores they
would have to pay $333.69 a week.
Several researchers have written
about school in tegration and
m inority student tokenism. Their
discouraging conclusions are that
tokenism is psychologically difficult
fo r Black children. W ith o u t the
number to constitute a critical mass.
Black students can come to think o f
themselves as an unwanted append
age. White students can overlook the
Black presence and even perceive it
as a temporary situation. Once the
Black percentage reaches twenty to
twenty-five percent, Blacks become a
significant part of the school. They
are now numerous enough to be
filtered throughout the entire school
structure. They are no longer “ last in
the shuffle” . Substantial m inority
group representation does not
guarantee intergroup harmony, but
is clearly a prerequisite fo r in
tegration.
Workshop assess NAACP Convention impact

titled “ NAACP Annual Convention:

Financial assistance is still avail
able for those wishing to attend Port
land Community College fall term.
That aid takes the form o f grants,
loans and jobs.
Awards for financial assistance are
based on the ability to pay. "N o one
should stay out of school because
there is a lack of funds," said finan
cial aids coordinator Olaf Johnson.
The college will assist with the
necessary paperwork to help the
student show the need for financial
help based upon a review of family
income, assets and other resources.
Special grants are available to
veterans and in some vocational
areas, such as nursing. Students may
use a form o f deferred tuition or
other loan plans.
The college arranges jobs through
a work-study program where stu
dents often have an opportunity to
earn in the department where they
are learning an occupational skill.
Applications may be picked up at
any PCC financial aids office or
requested by phone. Classes start
September 25th, so those wishing
assistance for fall should apply soon.
