AM E RIM „ 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.” A ikbtioiul infnmiation about PSU’s Summer Session can lx obtained by writing Summer Session, P.O.

"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," 1RS Policy of Selective Harassment Benefits Anti-Religious Group Know th e o n ly re a l a n ti- c u lt [a n ti r e lig io n ] w e a p o n is to m a ke e v e ry p o litic ia n |u d g e a n d d is tr ic t a tto rn e y a w a re o f th e c u lt p ro b le m a n d a lso m a ke th e m V ER Y A W A R E o f th e fa c t th a t CFF has a n a tio n a l o r g a n iz a tio n p o w e r fu l e n o u g h to b o o t a n y of th e m o u t ftice if th e y favor th e c o lts E sp e cia lly ju d g e s a n d D A s Tr,e m a n ip u la tio n o t ’ C o n g re s s a n d th e d e s tr u c tio n o f th e F irst A m e n d m e n t w as a lso c, lu lle d in th e p la n L e g is la to rs w ill lis te n to us th e o f f i t 'a l W '' 'te a n d w o rk a r o im d e n - r y I 'St A m e n d m e n t h s b u i tio n if th e y k n o w we are S tro n g e n o u g h to vo te th e m o u t of o f f I e A n d th e sa m e t o r o u r C o u rts I o d o th e . we ne ed a w e ll o ile d n a t' tria l tr at turn« ( h .’ e n s I re e d o m f o u n d a tio n e x j <•< te J th is w m id tie a s im p le m a tte r P. arts are " b u r i g t d ar '' i m e o t 11-.
