show the Nipon dress she was wear
ing.
Carol models a garment now and
then but usually the in-store models
wearing garments with Nipon labels
saunter through the shops at Helens
o f Course and through Fredericks.
She was a model in Houston and
D allas, Texas, b efo re she jo in ed
w ith A lb e rt N ip o n o f New Y o rk
three years ago. 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.

School Board rejects added participation
(Continued from page 1 col. 6)
Jerry A b ram s, president o f the
Jefferson H igh School Parent A d
visory Committee, Linda Johnson,
president o f the King PA C , and Earl
K eaton, president o f W o o d law n
PAC asked that the parent advisory
committees be allowed to select their
own representatives to the Citizens
Advisory Committee.
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

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.

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.
