Spilyay Tymoo November 5, 1982 Page 5 Scholarships funds raised for COCC A total of $ 10,136 for student scholarships was raised at the Central Oregon Community College Foundation’s Meal of the Year, according to COCC Foundation special events committee chairman Craig Moore. Nearly four-hundred people attended COCC’s Foundation “Meal of the Year” benefit at the College’s Center for the Arts last weekend. Guests sampled the cuisine from 30 of Central Oregon r e s ta u r a n t s an d e a tin g establishments in an elegant buffet. All the meal entrees w ere d o n a te d by a re a restaurants and featured a menu full of items ranging from hors d ’ oeuvres to desserts. A wine-tasting session fe a tu rin g O regon wines complemented the buffet. “We’re thrilled with' the response from those who attended. We matched last year’s total on ticket prices that were 20% lower,” said Moore. “And I think we netted much more than that in community goodwill.” The funds will be used for F o u n d a tio n g ra n ts and scholarships for area students who need help with college expenses next year. The COCC foundation is the College’s citizen volunteer development arm which has raised money for college scholarships and other projects since 1955. The Meal of the Year was presented by the Foundation’s special events committee. “We know we have a winner on our hands,” said Moore. “We’ve already started getting calls about next year’s event both from guests and from participating restaurants.” New SS schedule T he S o c ia l S e c u rity Representative will not be in Warm Springs on November 11 and November 25 as originally scheduled.

From the high school counselor by Ron Pinkham The first quarter ends November 5, 1982 and reports cards will be distributed to parents on Parent Conference Day November 12,1982. These grades are not permanent grades only progress grades. This means that a student has a chance of earning a passing grade during the next nine weeks. This could raise the permanent semester grade to passing. In order to understand how your child earned the grades, I strongly encourage you as a concerned parent to please visit the teachers during parent conference day. Confer with the teacher and develop ways and means for successful completion of the course. Think of positive methods of increasing involvement with your child’s education here at Madras Senior High School. All of us here want total and complete success in obtaining a high school diploma, so please plan on attending Parent Conference Day, Friday, November 12, 1982 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the Senior High. If your child is enrolled full time or half-time with the A l t e r n a t iv e E d u c a tio n program, I encourage you to visit Mr. Rob Hastings, E liz a b e th H a y es, J u lie Mitchell, and Ned Hurtado. Please call the Alternative E d u c a tio n p ro g ram fo r appointments 553-1489. All parents may pick up the grade reports and a map of the school with the list of where teachers can be located in the Senior High building. After you have seen the grade report please notice grades and attendance. Visit teachers you feel can be of assistance in informing you of how your child is progressing. If the grade report is not what was expected, discuss how as a parent you can be of assistance. Please remember all aspects of a c la s s : p a r ti c ip a ti o n , a tte n d a n c e , h o m e w o rk , attitude, daily class assign ments, tardies, tests, quizes, habits and self discipline.

Indian News Notes SENATE BILL WOULD PROVIDE $30 MILLION FOR TRIBAL PROGRAMS, TRIBAL JOBS: Before closing shop October 1, the Senate passed S. 1088, a bill that would reauthorize the Administration for Native Americans in the Department of Health and Human Services. The bill also includes a new tribal government support program, which would make grants to Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages to help them perform their governmental functions. The grants could be used to improve the economic standing and job skills of tribal members working on reservations. Thirty million was authorized for 1983 and “such sums as may be necessary” for 1984. Senator William Cohen, the sponsor of the bill and chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, said the new program would help Indian tribes supply governmental services, such as police protection, wildlife management and judges for tribal courts and would replace funds for public—service employment on reservations—previously supplied by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). There has been no action in the House on the Bill.

CONGRESS PASSES RESOLUTION REQUESTING RESTORATION OF THORPE RECORDS, MEDALS: House Concurrent Resolution 364, was passed by the House on September 28 and the Senate, October 1—just before Congress recessed for the fall election campaigns.
