PAGE 4 August 20, 1993 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo Editorial E Ccosh EEWA: (The way it is) Letters to the Editor "Sptfat I School drop-out's; when ever ; the subject is discussed the Native : American students seem to be in ;the spotlight, as the students of the highest drop-out rate. Even 1 though there are a great number : of Indian student drop-outs, they : are not really the majority. There are the Native Americans, His : panics, and White students. One ; of the latest surveys showed that the Hispanic students had the ' highest drop-out rate in the 509-J : school district What causes such a high drop ; outratefortheschoolshcrc?Thcre i are several factors why kids drop ! out. One big problem is lack of self-esteem. A student feels he is not doing so well with his classes and loses interest in school to the point : where he is so far behind he can't catch up with his studies so he just : drops out and never takes advantage of the alternative education ; program. Others just get mixed up with the wrong crowd who just go : around raising kane here and there. They do this for attention and also : with no real motive or goals in life. Many times the parents are blamed ' for the lack of discipline of students on the home front Parents don't ' try to work with their children and become involved with their activities while they are in school. Some parents want to do their own :: thing rather than become involved with their children's activities ; which discourages the students interest in school. Good supervision is very important in a child's younger years, and it makes him feel he is ; needed in life, also gives him encouragement to go on to better : himself. Parents need to pay more attention to his child's activities and : try to be as much help as he can. Yep! Parents who are interested in seeing their kids do well are always near by trying to help the teachers, coaches or councilors as : much as they can in order to see their child is doing well in school. This : makes the kid feel like he is one of the gang when he has all the support ; he can get from his family and friends. Too much freedom for a kid gives him too much idol time and it : usually gets him mixed up with the wrong gang which leads to bad ' things. Usually the bad guys are those guys who are insecure in life and feel the only way they can get attention is by doing bad things and some how manage to get out of the mess to where the innocent get all the blame. One great problem among races is the communication gap, lack of understanding each othereither by language or life style. This is where around here in the 509-J school district puts many students on the defensive for the lack of understanding each other. Many Hispanics don't know the English language, so they sort of hang out among each other which makes it look like a gang type situation. And because many of the Hispanics cannot communicate too well it sort of puts them on the defensive when ever someone tries to talk to them. Racism comes from every direction, not only from the Whites, but from the Indians and Hispanics. Yep! This is a problem that will be hard to solve for some time to come, but if everyone tries and works at it who knows it may resolve it's self in time. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON! ! !

These trucks and trailers could be sold or leased to qualified tribal members. I am buy ing truck 39 and trailer 10 from WSFPI and paying for the equip ment on a delivered ton basis. And if I should decide to pull out the equip ment would return back to being the property of WSFPI, and given to another tribal member who quali fies. The tribal member would be considered sole owner and operator for as long as he works the truck, maintains all lines insurance and keeps up truck maintenance.

Economic Development Depart ment offers a Green House Program, which is a business training course and qualifies tribal members for a grant from that department. This project has a relative small ' t start up cost and the money bor rowed can be repaid in a years time. Warm Springs has very few CDL drivers and I think this would be an excellent chance for some energetic young people to develop a potential business and skill.
