A slender svelte 5 '8 * , C a ro l wears a size 8, up a notch from what she wore when she modeled for Sakrowitz and Neiman Marcus in Texas. Naturally gracious and lovely and surrounded by beautiful clothes and exciting travel schedules, C arol re vealed her good solid educational background and something o f her early career. W ith a master’s degree in speech pathology and another from North Texas U nion in educa tion, Carol Dixon Jones started her w o rkin g career as a teacher. She taught basic com m unications and philosophy o f education at Texas Southern College fo r a period o f tim e before she began to think o f modeling as another career. The modeling achieved, a coveted position with A lbert N ipon secure and operating, it was just a short year ago C aro l met Steve Jones o f P o rtla n d . They met in H o u s to n , and Carol began to dream o f m ar riage to this ta ll, handsome man. Steve was doing his own dreaming and the fantasy came true for them both. They were wed in H o uston last fall. C arol looks back only a little at the teaching career she set aside. She feels that somehow she w ill know when it is time to resume that exper ience. F or now , the interests o f this ambitious and well prepared young wom an are w ith her home in the She has trunks and she will travel. And travel she does. A ll around to the biggest cities in the United States. A nd back again to New York. Tall, tan, and terrific Carol Dixon Jones travels with enough trunks to accom odate nearly 100 dresses. Beautiful clothes these are. The fall season is nearly here and these dresses have the crisp rustle o f silk taffeta, the hand o f soft, lush vel vet, or the burnished gleam o f met allic folds to fill the mind with fan tasies o f autumn. C aro l believes in livin g out her fantasies. She wanted to be a model, so she became one. The dresses she may w ear, and Carol's trunks, carry the label o f A l bert N ipon, for C arol is the repre sentative for the great designer. She takes the trunkloads o f fresh sea sonal design creations to the m ajor fashion salons o f the country. In the P ortland area, tru nk showings at Helens o f Course in Beaverton and at downtown Frederick and Nelson, attracted the early birds among fall clothing shoppers this past week. What are the looks o f fashion for Fall, 1981? “ Pleats and tucks abound in A l bert Nipon garments,” Carol points out, “ — they are practically his sig nature.” One dress will have pleats in the skirt and another may have pleats that fa ll straight fro m the shoulder to hemline. Daytime hem lines are where they are most be coming to y o u — a bit below the knee. “ S k irts ,” she went on, “ are o f many widths, straight or full. Nipon shows tunics too, long tunics top ping a straight skirt— " a very slen derizing e ffe c t,” she commented. “ Nipon is using blues and mauves in his basic transitional line which will be good from now right through to spring. His clothes are international in appeal and are worn on the con tinent as well as in the States and are perfect for womm who travel.” “ There are subtle shadings o f these colors in N ip o n 's paisley are exactly the reason why Cuban troops cannot be w ith d raw n un til after Namibia is independent. The question that rem ains is whether the US will use its influence to force South Africa out o f Angola or w hether it w ill use p o te n tia l Cuban involvem ent to extend the war.

Ms. Johnson emphasized that it is extremely important that represen tatives o f the public be selected by the public they are supposed to rep resent. The School Board had named a series o f community and parent or ganizations and asked each to select a member to the C itizen Advisory C om m ittee. Board member Steve Buel revealed that the representa tives o f the A rea Citizen Advisory Committees had been appointed by the Area Superintendents, not se- lected by the com m ittee members. A rea I Superintendent A rth u r Flescher testified that he had been contacted by D r. Leu and asked to select a member o f the Area C A C , a m em ber o f a local school Paretn Advisory Committee and a student, and an alternate for each. He said he had not known these selections were to have been made by th e ir constituencies. Dr. Leu opposed both o f the C iti zen A d vis o ry C o m m ittee sugges tions, stating that if the first plan were adopted he would quit his ad visory positio n . A p p lican ts had been in fo rm ed of the process and that the fact they had applied would be c o n fid e n tia l. He felt that a change in the process would damage his professional ethics and also that a num ber o f the best applicants would withdraw. He did net oppose SUMMIT: “Economic Survival of Black People” Sponsored by Oregon Assembly for Black Affairs October 17-18,1981 the second option as firm ly, but be lieved its a d o p tio n w ould cause some applicants to withdraw. I f the fact that Superintendents are apply ing fo r new positions becomes known to their own sch<x>l districts their job positions are jeopardized, so con fid en tiality is extremely im portant. Board member Herb Cawthorne proposed adding four parents to the Citizens Advisory Committee— one from each area o f the c ity — to be elected by the presidents o f the local school PACs. Board m em ber C h a rlo tte Bee man: " I ’ m not willing to risk confi d e n tia lity — the m ore people in volved, the more chance o f losing confidentiality.” The board rejected C aw thorne’ s proposal and the two proposals o f the Citizens Advisory Committee. The tim e line adopted by the Board includes: August 31st— D r. Leu submits the recommended list o f from 8 to 15 persons to the Board in closed session; August 31st and September 1— the Board selects the final 3 to 5 candidates. Between Oc tober 12th and 16th each candidate will spend a day in P ortland to be interviewed by the In tern al A dvis ory C o m m itte e , the C itiz e n A d visory C om m ittee (public invited) and by the Board. On October 17,h the Board will meet with the two ad visory committees, then in a closed session will select the finalists. A fte r the finalists have been se lected Board members will visit the school and community where those persons are now located to deter mine the general feeling about them. In a closed m eeting on O ctober 26th the Board w ill select the new superintendent with the expectation that he will begin work between Jan uary and July o f 1982.

A lb erta PORTLAND OREGÙN 9721 1 294 7997 From the Front Door By Tom Boothe From the Front Door, there have been some noteworthy things which happened over the past two weeks that I will share with you. On Thursday night, August 20th, and Saturday August 22nd, and Sunday night August 23rd 1981, I witnessed two performances which represented the final products of the Exodus TAAP children's summer project. These High School children, under the guidance of Stave Applebaum and Lucy Chaille put together two very informative, as wall as entertaining plays. The turnouts and support were good. However, for those of you who missed seeing these plays, you really missed witnessing some very fine talent which exists right here In our Community. These plays will tour some of the schools during the school year. They are also scheduled to be performed at Oregon State Prison and Oregon Woman's Correctional Institution; there are also other social agencies that have booked the plays. The plays are of a vary high pro fessional quality and for that reason they will be videotaped as a donation for a job wall dona by our Community children. The second experience I would like to share with you is that on Saturday night, August 15, 1981, I was invited to play flute for a meditation gathering, which turned out to be a med itation concert. This concert turned out to be one of my greatest musical experiences re minding me of days gone by in Greenwich Village, where people came to listen to the music as the primary objective, as compared with much of today's audiences who just simply hear the music as a background melody or rhythm and their primary objective is something other than the music. To play to an audience who is expressively listening, under a moonlit sky surrounded by the sweet smell of assorted flowers, mingled with the smell of fresh-cut grass and shrubs, put this with the energy of a yard full of human beings listening and absorbing each musical expression. This was like the ultimate perfect relationship between human beings. Nature and the Universe. I will be doing more MEDITATION CONCERTS. I will publish them in From the Front Door so that you might come and experience the Spiritual awakening of soothino Deace within yourself, and in Nature, and in the Universe. However, in the meantime don't forget to support tha Exodus Clean Team for thav are working.
