"Spityty SpOQlts" College student appreciates family support
There is never an end to
all problems here in the Spil
yay office, well, it seems
that way. Just when we think
we have everything all
squared away and undercon
trol, someone moves away
and leaves no forwarding
address. What makes it worse
is when they don't receive
their copy of SpilyayTymoo,
they call us and give us heck
about it when its their own
fault. If they would take the
time and leave a forward
ing address this would be
the ideal thing to do, they
wouldn't miss their copy of
the newspaper and everyb
ody would be happy.
Another thing that happens sometimes for reasons
unknown is the computer kicks out the name and address
while the labels are being made and just to go over the list
no one would know that a name is missing. In the mean
time the person who's name is missing or ejected makes
no attempt to contact us until months have gone by
before they same something. And by that time they think
we are doing this on purpose, but just to look at a list of
names its hard to see that one is missing. So in the future
if you don't receive your copy of the newspaper be sure to
let us know immediately so we can correct the error.
Anyone who has paid for something has the right to know
whats happening. We hope to please our readersas mifch
as possible by keeping you posted on the latest of whats
happening in Indian Country. We have a forum for our
readers where they can express their concerns on tribal
matters as long at it is not libelious or slanderous and
damaging to any individual. When it comes down to
name calling this should be handled in court and not by
public knowledge through the newspaper.
One stipulation on letters to the editor. They should all
be signed by the writer, so if there are any questions a
person can contact the writer. There have been some
good letters received but without the signature they were
filed away.
Youth Services makes changes
To the Editor,
I would like to take time to
express thanks to my family and
relatives for respecting and sup
porting me on my decision to attend
private Oklahoma Christian College.
Campus life is so alive and the
people so unbclievcably friendly!
I've met people from all over the
world here at OCC. Sometimes, I
get so psyched-out just knowing
I'm sitting in the same classroom as
some of the world's most elite stu
dent's. Cross-country seems to keep
me going though, and I guess it
helps me maintain in my studies.
At first, to be honest, I just came to
OCC because of the cross-country
scholarship, but as time has passed
my reasons havechanged. So happy
to be part of OCC, my new chris
tian friends have taught mc so
much, for one thing not to be so
judgmental of others, and to accept
people as they arc. They've taught
me how to laugh.. .how to cry.. .and
for the most part to live a little.
1 would like to give a big thanks
to Chinn and Mom Suppah for let
ting me make a decision on my own
for a change and for not treating
Impact Aid to

kind words and big smile, "think

begin to heal from various abuse.
On Wednesdays, there is a Group

healing process for the various abuses
they have been through. .
