In recent years some confusion and idleness on the part of students has been averted by the requesting of job descriptions from the de partments. Any department that has a need may ask for student assistance arid is ex pected to make appropriate plans for the student. The Summer Youth Work Program employs Charles Calica as a counselor who monitors kids’ progress and keeps an eye out fbr-problems or diffictilties. He is also trying to help students make up credits through the Adult Learning Center. Mr. Calica will be responsible for writing an evaluation of each partici pating student and his or her assignement at the end of the programs. A self-evaluation or program critique by students is also being considered.. Applications will be receiv ed throughout the summer. After the programs are filled students, will be placed on waiting lists and will have an opportunity to be assigned if others drop out. If interested in.

I can’t see a good enough reason for film and tapes to be used inside the Long House, no matter what the cause is for. If our people wanted to learn more about our religion, they know where they can go to find out for themselves, instead of some movie house where you’d have to pay a white man to see our own'life style. I feel thfe only answer to our problem is to go back to our old way of life, and try to start all over again, together as a Confederated Tribes, not as individuals who want to make money on something that used to be very sacred, now I see it as just another white man, who bought another Indi an.
