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.”

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. Try
to talk in a positive manner
about the class with the
teacher.
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.

Conference in Los Angeles. On October 15 Smith visited two
Nevada tribes, meeting with Washoe tribal chairman Robert
Frank and council and the Reno-Sparks Colony Chairman
Lawrence Astor and Council. On October 20, Smith is scheduled

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. The resolution expresses
Congressional support for the restoration of Jim Thorpe’s
Olympic records and medals.
Thorpe won the decathlon and pentathlon events in the 1912
Olympics but was later stripped ot his awards by the International
Olympic Committee for being a professional athlete. He had
accepted $2 a day for playing baseball.
The Congressional resolution asks the IOC to reinstate
Thorpe's name and achievement to the official records and at the
1984 Olympics in Los Angeles to present duplicate medals to his
family.
