Purtlarxl Suite University’s (PSU’s)
1985 Summer Session Peace Studies
txgar, Monday, June 24, with a one-
credit four-day course on peace by noted
authex, levurer. lomier |oumahst and
natiseOegoruan, John Nance.
The Sununet Scssiixi's Department
has put together a program o f 15 courses
range from Nance's "Message From
The Stone Age — a System o f None-
vxilence," to "The Good Fight. . . die
struggle o f individuals and groups
against unjust uxial system.”
PSU’s peace studies "is a study o f
how you settle disputes peacefully; how
to present w a r." But Nance in his
opening remarks Monday night, said,
"Peace is a dirty word for w xix people
today." And then he asked the ques
lion: "W hen did peace become a
dirty w ord?"
Nance's course, "Message From the
Stone Age" expkxcs possible solutions
to peace by exemplifying a group of
jxople tn the Philippines known as the
Tasadays.
The Tasadays belies e they have exist
id since tune began, N arxr said ITies
hebese a protector "in the sky” prosides
for their every need. And it was not
until the 1971X when thev were lured
from their "ram forest home," that
they became aware ot the modernization
o f man.
He said within the time span of three
days and three nights, "these gentle
jxxipfc.- (were) hurled.
thnxigh V I,(III
years of technological tune."
The story o f the "gentle people,’’
people wlx, lived witluxit wtxds ix Units
for war, is plxixxtxnal. But even more
intriguing and interesting was how
Nance linked tlx- Tasadays’ habits with
survival of the wixld
“ I’eace is as dcmaiximg of us as any
system of war," Nance s.ud " II there is
ixi hope, (here is no peace." Peace has
to he wxight out; it lias to he Itxikcd
upon as a system that will work; aixl it
has to take into accxxmt that althtxigh
we he many races, colors and kinds, we
.ire ixie with the universe.
The lasadavs live in cases; their
tanuh stnxiure consisted o f 25 to V,
jxxiple Ihey were Unbidden by self-
governing laws from marrying wiihin the
unnxxliate family stnxiure. They h r
Ixsixl a spirit in the sky pnxecied and
¡xosxkxl fix them. I hey killed no am
nulls; nor did they mutilate the trees and
plant life tlu t provided subsistence, is the
story Nance narrated as he said one
“ stone age" man he spoke with "talked
about tlie soul o f a dream.”
“ If we are willing to he seduced,
we .ire willing to give up our glory,"
Naixr said, adding, "what are we doing
in a democracy when jxoplc are making
ilccisioiis for us. D x iixicdibte problem
today is tlx- rapxl change."
Moreover, Nance said, the anthro
pologist Margaret Mend ixxx said,
“ The Ixxnh has nude us one."
W e have to six tlx- cixwcctcdncss, he
said What happens in ix x place
Japan, l hiiu, Russia ix Afnca
at
lects jxople wixldwxle.
" I hebese peace ls possible" N aixr
saxl "But tlx idea that wxiietxx- is
better than sometxx else is wrung," he
added, as Ix- adnxxiished tlie ctxxxpls ol
"tlx- chosen people (aixl) white suprem
e ly "
Nance has written five fxxtks: " Ih e
Gentle Tasaday." " D x la n d aixl l ‘ix>
pie ot Dx- Philippines," " D x Mud
Ihe Dilemma,” “ Discovery of The Tasa
day” and " I oho o f The Tasaday." He
also pul together tlx- Ih-minutc film, " \
Message I nxn tlx- Stoix Age.”

Summer heat
harms garden
Summer heat is hard on all garden
and ornamental plants, bul it can he
downright deadly for plants grown in
floor-standing containers and hanging
baskets.
"D u rin g periods o l hot weather,
container gardeners must give their
plants special care or the plants are
likely to dry o u t," says Ray Me
Neilan, Oregon State University I s
tension home gardening agent.
Daily watering o f container plants
in the summer is not unusual because
soil containers dry out quickly, par
Ocularly those lixated on a concrete
patio in full sun, he adds.
"D u rin g peruxls ot excessive sum
iner heat, container plants may even
need watering twice a day,” says
McNeilan
Water container plants when the
soil feels dry, he advises Apply water
until it runs out Ihe container's drain
holes But don't allow Ihe soil to be
come soggy, or apply so much wafer
that il stands on lop o f the soil
Because the increased watering will
leach nutrients out o f container soil
more quickly than usual, more con
tainer plant fertilizer w ill he required
during the summer growing season
A soluble, all purpose fertilizer that
can be mixed beforehand in water
is the easiest type to use with con
tamer plants Apply this type ot fcr
tilizer every second or third water
¡ng, McNeilan advises
ALso use dry fertilizers thai can be
sprinkled on top o f the soil. Under
normal conditions, dry fertilizers
would be applied every three weeks.
• However, if the container plant Ls
being watered twice a day, apply the
dry fertilizer every tw o weeks A
5-10-10 or 5-10-5 fertilizer is best for
container plants, he says
Ormond said.
Suggested changes included de
veloping the training to become grade
level specific, especially at the pre
school through first grade level. Also,
teachers felt that two hours for each
subject matter was insufficient and
there was not enough resource mate
nals on hand.
"O verall, the training efforts were
received favorably baved on teed
back from the participants. Presenters
were perceived as competent, respon
sive and open to evaluative feedback
Teachers fell il was a productive use
o f limited tim e ," O rm ond comment
ed.
However, one problem lhai kepi
resurfacing was the inability o f the
former director
Darrel M ilner —
to communicate the objectives ol
the training Therefore, some teachers
expected the training to include all
ethnic groups. Presenters felt that
cramming the history ot all jxo p le ol
color into 14 hours was unrealistic
and insulin,g io each culture. M ilner
resigned and later repudiated the
training. Observers speculated that
Milner was frustrated because he
was a quarter time employee and
encountered some structural lim ita
tion w ithin the cuniculum dcjvart-
ment.
Halm, Rahsaan, chairperson for
the Desegregation Committee, said
the training was a massive task “ Now,
we have a model and that's the first
step in incorporating the historical
achievement ol geo-cultural groups."
G R A S S R O O f NEWS. N W. —
T he completion o f a model for com
prehensive sta ff training to incorpor
ate African American curriculum
materials into language arts, math,
science, social studies, music and
art was a monumental achievement
durikng the 1984/85 school year
A t the last Desegregation M o n ito r
ing and Advisory Committee meeting
Jasper Ormond delisered his evalua
tion based upon inform ation col
lected and compiled by partiepants.
The teacher training consisted o f a
14 hour program utilizing local and
national consultants. Teachers from
the Jefferson High School cluster
were involved in the premiere training
because o f the number o f A fro-
American students taught in that area
African American
curriculum
training is the first step towards up
dating and correcting the image and
activities o f A frican Americans in
history whose European and Anglo-
Saxon perspective diluted and dc
stroyed the historical involvement o f
people ol color.
Because this was the first training
o f its kind in Oregon, consultants
used feedback from teachers through
out the training to pinpoint and capi
talize on strengths in the delivery o f
the training.
According to Ormond the context
o f the evaluation were twofold: tram
mg and incorporation. Among the
strong points o f the training was the
use of, "visual and graphic aids,
along with the small group fo rm a t,"
