Building renovation . ... j i... .1. t.: An upcoming major renovation of the Old Administration Build ing has necessitated the move of three tribal and three BIA depart ments. All except one of the moves will be temporary. The OSU Extension Service, Range and Agriculture, Branch of Forestry, Land Operations and Roads will all be relocated to the seven mobile homes set up in the k s from the Com Jnunity Center. It is anticipated these departrnents will be in the . f 'hmlt fm,r months. Thev will all return to their original office space once the renovation has been completed. Forestry will occupy trailers one through three; Roads will be in trailer four; Extension will be in trailer five; Land Operations will be in trailer six and Range and Agriculture will occupy trailer seven. It will be a partial deja vu for Spilyay Tymoo as the office is being permanently located in the i . f tUa rIH forlc Plnrm the original site of the newspapers office at the onset of the publica- tion in 1976. The basement offers more than three times tne space and will allow for a separate layout room and a special studio for por traits. No decision has yet been made as to which departments will move into the office currently held by Spilvav. Three-fourths of the Old Admin istration Building is currently main tained by the BIA. and it is that portion of the building that is being modernized and renovated. The remainder of the building on the Bureau budget reduced by $11 million Interior Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Ross Swimmer said today the President's fiscal year 1988 budget request of $985 mil lion forthc Bureau of Indian Affairs (HI A) will enable the Bureau to carry out its responsibilities to the Indian people of this country and still hold the line against increased deficit spending. The FY 1988 budget request for the main operating account. Oper ation of Indian Programs, totals $910.2 million, about $11 million less than the current 1987 estimate or about a one percent reduction. ' With the budget request, the Bureau is introducing a scries of initiatives to "provide incentives and opportunities for self-improvement of both tribes and individual Indians," Swimmer said. The four major initiatives include: moving education away from Bureau con trol to local communities; an eco nomic self-assistance self-help pro gram that will reform the general assistance grant program; increased assistance to small tribes through revenue sharing, and: control of drug and alcohol abuse through motivation and rehabilitation. "These new initiatives are not budget driven, but we are introduc ing them in the budget process so that we will have the remainder of the current fiscal year to think about them and formulate them into final policy after input from the tribes and from Congress." Swimmer said. "Comments from the tribes and the Congressional hearing process will further shape these programs." Swimmer said the education mitia- tives focus on the quahty of educa. tion for Indian children and pro- pose moving the management of BIA schools to the tribal or state school system. "The Bureau has simply not been doing a good job of educating Indian children." Swimmer said. "Despite the fact that the Bureau spends more per student in its schools than public and private schools, test scores by McGraw Hill reveal that by the time BIA students reach the 12th grade, they are over three years below the upper level is occupied by the Tri- hal Court Administration, secret arial staff and judges while the basement is occupied by a part of the branch of forestry.

He said that there is need to get away from a system that permits as many as five separ ate school systems on a reservation to vie for Indian student enrol lment and where students move from BI A, to tribal, to public, pri vate and even to off-reservation boarding schools. "Common sense suggests that such a system is not conducive to quality education," he added. The Bureau operates or contracts for the operation of 181 schools in 23 states. In its post-secondary schools, Haskell Indian Junior College, Lawrence, Kansas; Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute, Albu querque, New Mexico and; Insti tute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Bureau will require students to pay a tuition of approximately $850. Students cur rently not paying any tuition are eligible for all U.S. Department of Education campus-based financial aid as well as BIA higher education grants. In the higher education area, BIA will develop a program in which recipients of higher edu cation scholarships for post-graduate studies will be required to serve in either the BIA or their tribe after graduation in order to receive col lege grants. Such a "service obliga ' tion" requirement has worked sue- ' cessfully for the Indian Health Service. Another initiative proposes imple mentation of an economic self assistance self help program that requires able-bodied recipients of general assistance payments to work or enter job training programs to receive their grants. "We anticipate that most of the jobs or training programs would be in public ser vice, building and repairing homes.

Swimmer said. The programs would be similar to the Tribal Work Expe rience Program (TWEP) currently used by some tribes. Recipients would receive some pay for their work or training in addition to their general assistance grant and would eventually leave the "wel fare" rolls. Tribes would have an incentive for putting their members in paying jobs by receiving a share of the savings achieved due to a decreasing percentage of grants paid out in general assistance. Swimmer said that the initiative would combine the general assist ance program ($66 million in 1 987); employment assistance ($26 mil lion), and; housing improvement program (about $16 million). The basic mission of the three programs would not change, but would be redirected to encourage and enable self-assistance by Indian individuals. Small tribes of from 150 to 1,500 tribal members would receive direct funding to operate their tribal govern ments under another initiative. The current small tribes program funded in FY 87 at $2.8 million would be raised in FY 88 to $6.8 million with expanded criteria of eligibility and purpose. Continued efforts will be made to reduce the use of drugs and alcohol by Indians, with renewed emphasis on motivation and reha bilitation programs, especially through school counseling and con struction or rehabilitation of emer gency shelters. Nationally operated programs already proven effective against alcohol and drug abuse will be implemented on the reservations through joint efforts of the BIA and the Indian Health Service. blankets, his and hers pendleton jackets, a VCR, rifle, compact mini refrigerator numerous cash prizes.
