Media Seminar Slated A two-dgy seminar-“In- dians in the Mass Media” will be sponsored by the Indian Studies Department of Bemidji State University on May 20-21. To be held at BSU, the event is made possible through the cooperation of resource people from the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, the Minnesota Indian Affairs Board, and the I Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians. Sid Miller, the editor of Spilyay Tymoo, will be attend ing the seminar on the 20th and 21st. The seminar will serve a two-fold purpose, according to the chairman, Don Savage, BSU: - It will bring together for the first time in several years members of the Indian Pro fessional press, and ... - It will serve as a show case to attract young Indians into the journalism field and promote mass communications. Johnson-O’Malley high school students under the MCT and Title IV students in High schools are being issued spe cial invitations to attend. “The crying need for In dians in mass communications has been cited not only in the Indian press but by the Met ropolitan press, by broadcas ters, and by the television in dustry,” Savage said. “It is an objective of this conference to work toward alleviating this great need.” Nationally known journal ists, broadcasters, and tele vision news people and techni cians will be among those moderating discussion panels, Savage said. At noon on Friday, May 21, a prominent speaker will be heard at a luncheon, according to Savage. The Madras high school Indian club was the host of the first high school Indian pow wow to be held here in the northwest. There were five schools participating in the^ ac tivities during the week-end of April 29 and 30th. Schools at tending came from as far away as Ferndale, Wa., Lap wai, Ida., Lewiston, Ida., and Wapato, Wa., and also Chem- awa, Or. Selected for this years Queen was Sammi Squiem- phen, and Bill Katchia was the Brave. According to a spokesman for the High School Indian club member, the pow wow was a big success, berpg the very first of its kind here in the NW. Though a bit chilly the first night, the activities took ^place in the Madras Buffalo Football Stadium and there wereVmany spectators that turned^put. The next perfor mance Was held in the gym at the High School. Individual winners, nam ing the local students only, were: in the individual dan cing, 1st. Debbie Quinn (fresh man); Tony Mitchell (Junior), and 2nd. George Clements (SoDh.); Edith Johnson (Jun ior). A team from Lapwai was second. In the team dance com petition, this was by audience applause for the selection of the winners. In the round dance for the girls, Sarah Greene, Edith Johnson and Nancy Sooksoit were the win ners; for the boys, Tony Mit chell, Wilbur Johnson, and Bill Katchia took second. The next Pow-Wow will be held at Lapwai Ida. There is a NWHS Indian Club being formed, and chosen from the Madras School to represent Madras was Bill Katchia and Mina Shike. Omak Rodeo Results The rodeo cowboyws didn’t do very well at the Omak Lake, Washington rodeo on the weekend of May 8-9. Although showing real good in the bare- back riding, Leland Tom made a good effort but didn’t score enough to place. Another local boy, Joe Scott, was only able to get a 4th in the saddle bronc. However, Pricilla Squiemphen. managed to get 3rd in the barrel racing and her sister Sammi placed 4th. The other local boys had some tough luck as Larry Squiemphen and the bull couldn’t see things eye to eye, so they parted company. Phillip Winnier’s effort didn’t please the judges and was awarded a goose egg. I’m sure that all the cow boys are all primed up for the Tygh Valley rodeo as this is one of the “Biggies,” in the Indian rodeo circuit, the Tygh Valley rodeo in Oregon draws a number of spectators from the Portland area. This is where all the top Indian Cow boys perform. This rodeo has drawn great name cowboys like “Sid Miller and Jazz Wewa”. So fans if you are planning to attend this years show, you will never regret it - so dust off your hat and shine up your boots and hustle on down. Changes in Food Program The Welfare Program would like to inform everyone that the “Emergency Food Program” is no longer deliver ing food services, as all food funds available have been distributed. The Tribal Welfare Pro gram is available to enrolled members only-in need of wel fare assistance. Also each individual, fam ily, or household situation dif fers. Assistance will depend on the situation-financial and - or social. All unemployed-abled per sons will be referred to the Personnel Dept, for employ ment. Welfare Worker- Rosalind Sampson Extension Notes Vibriosis Vaccination A few livestockmen have expressed concern over the use of vibriosis, vaccination for bulls. The following letter from Dr. Reynolds, Extension Veter inarian should explain the ùse and purpose of the vaccination program. Dr. Reynold states that . . . “Recent research work from Australia has proven that vi briosis vaccine will produce immunity in these bulls and they will not become infected carriers of this venereal di sease of cattle. It is possible for bulls to mechanically spread vibrio if they breed a clean cow within 30 minutes of breeding an infected cow, But Good or Bad? the sheath and penis do not harbor the organism in bulls that have been vaccinated. For the present time it is advisable to vaccinate all fe male cattle to prevent the transient mechanical spread. But much reduction of infec tion will occur where only bulls are vaccinated. This should manifest in an increased num ber of calves dropped the fol lowing year. Bovine vibriosis vaccine is a killed product and in no way will it interfere with the fer tility of the bull. This is not true of some live vaccines such as Strain 19 Brucellosis vac cine.
