All of us have different "hassle quotas." This is a measure of what we expect to put up with in life. A "hassle quota" affects what we expect from our spouses and what we expect from our children.

For instance, the hassle quota differs for each of two young mothers with 15-month-old in fants. Both have infants who have tried crying at night Mom Number One, troubled by a high hassle quota, says, "What can you do? You just can't leave her in her bed crying for half-an-hour. I'm just getting no sleep at night!" Unconsciously this mother is say ing about her 1 5-month-old infant, "Oh, what a hassle life is!" Mom Number Two, who enjoys a low hassle quota, says . of her infant, "Well, I found when I don't get up when Katherine cries, she starts sleeping through the night." This mom has no expectation that life will be constant hassle. The parent with the high hassle quota will move out of an infant's reach anything that might hassle their home, and that same parent will involve himself in his child's fights -- anticipating the worst from the child while also depriving the child of learning experiences. The hassle quota is a powerful but unseen influence on everyone! "Doing" or "Done-In" --Importantly, people with a high has sle quota always feel that things are "done" to them. Such people give strong covert messages to their children that the child is in control of the parent. Such parents might say, "You'll be the death of me! " Of course, depending on the child par ent relationship, the child might answer back, "Good", or "That's sorta bad" or "I might even miss you some". I recently saw a young mother named Patty who let her own mother undermine her relationship with her daughter. The grand mother gave Patty's daughter all kinds of extravagant gifts and allowed the youngster to be disres pectful. Patty has always felt hassled by her mother. Now she is allowing her daughter to hassle her as well. She expects her daught .r and mother to gang up on her. They comply with her expecta tions. In summary, everyone reading this article has expectations about hassles. The more hassles we expect, the lower our expectations of others. Individuals with a high hassle quota expect their children, at school and at home, to be a has sle. They say, "Isnt that the way things are?" Unfortunately, for them, the answer is Yes". HASSLE FORMULA: Parent's Low Hassle Quotient equals Balanced Expectations for kids. OSU's admission requirments for transfer students. Current OSU students are also eligible. bach scholarship is renewable for a total of nine terms. The scho larships pay tuition and student fees.

The program was transferred from the Educa tion Department, run by Levi Bobb, to the Employment Depart ment, which is now under the direc tion of Marcia Soliz. The transfer occured earlier this year. The purpose of this program is to help develop a young workers proper work ethics and standards, while at the same time helping them contribute to their school needs and explore career options. The reason "Summer" was de leted from the program's title is because it is the goal of Employ ment Services to eventually oper ate a year-round program, with the help from parents, youth, employ ers and the community. Some operational changes will happen over the next couple of years to help the efforts of the Youth Work Program become even more effective. A training plan and basic job description will be developed jointly with the work site supervisor and Employment Services prior to a youth being placed in any department. The youth will be monitored to pro mote good work ethics and stand ards and will be learning from their job placement and kept busy. The person(s) in charge will also be monitored to ensure quality train ing is happening and good work habits are being instilled in the youth and are kept busy at all times. The youth will complete what is called "44's" status which includes: Job application comple tion with assistance, profile devel opment which allows them to gain an awareness of present skills, the youth's job interest, and career interest, educational plans, present status in high school, barriers, and skills in which they wish to learn for future use. In 1991 an assess ment will be done on all program participants and will include a career and personalitv type profile. Drug testing will come into effect .his year in compliance with the tribal drug testing policy. These changes will help youth think about what it is they really want to do, and keep track of what they have done. Within a couple of weeks, youth and parents will receive a letter from the employment services office which will specify a date and time to meet individually with the youth coordinator or other employment paperwork. There are approximately 90 youth job slots that can be funded this year. However, there are approxi mately 201 youth residing on the reservation who may want to work. The starting date for the pro gram was initially thought to be June 18. But, due to the work;, needed to be done yet, the program will begin a couple weeks after that ' time. Those individuals who have never worked and do not yet have a work permit can pick up an application at the Employment Office imme diately and send it off. A wort;( permit is mandatory. Youth will , not be allowed to work without ? one. y ) Watch for future updates as things are being finalized for the Youth Work Program. Only those youth who need a work permit applica tion should contact the Employ ment Office which is located at the , Administration Building or call 553-3262 or 553-3263. 3 Kindergarten registration 1990-91 6:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 23, 1990 at Warm Springs Elementary Parents are requested to attend Students will be admitted to the Warm Springs Ele-" mentary program if hisher fifth birthday occurs on or before September 1. 1990.
