The appellate court upheld the judge's
order. The whipping was conducted
at the Warm Springs Detention fa
cility at the family's request.
The bottom line, according to Ike
and Tailfeathers and other court
representatives, is that punishment is
the parents' responsibility. "Wedon't
want to be disciplinarians." Punish
ment should be done at home.
Tailfeathers added, "The law has
had to assume the responsibility of
discipline for parents. Now, the par
ents are mad that the court" is pun
ishing their children. Dee elaborated,
stating, "Parents say they could go to
jail if they punished their children.
That's a copouL" Court representa

viction of child abuse within the last

said Tailfeathers.
"Parents are refusing to be re

of thechildren being in court, itshould

honestly don't know how to deal
with their children."

Perthina White, discussed Spiritual
Healing. Friday was open floor for
participants and closure of the
conference.
Additionally.awhipman would make
"housecalls" and deliver "one whip
for every crime and one whip" for
each year of age. However, the elder
in this particular case, stated that by
tradition, no more than 10 whips
could be delivered.
Sometimes, Dee said, a whipman
was "invited into homes just to re
mind children of who he was and
what he did." Often, when one child
got whipped, all children in the family
were whipped.

College library bond issue
On November 8, General elec
tion ballot COCC has placed a bond
issue measure relating to the col
lege library. If the outcome of the
vote on this item is negative, it will
dramatically effect the college as
we currently know it and the ser
vices it provides. As a result we are
requesting that you make a special
effort to exercise your vote on this
issue.
The information which follows
provides more detail about the situ
ation which caused COCC to
present this concern to the voters
of the district, which includes the
community of Warm Springs. At
this time there is one-on-one inter
view on KWSO in late October.
Make a note to tune in for this ad
ditional informational opportunity.

NWASC said the college must bring
its library facilities into conform

the Association for College and

COCC's enrollment and offerings
should have a library of 70,000
square feet, providing study space
for 600 students.
The current library at COCC
encompasses 16,500 square feet
and provides study space for 128
students. The library opened in
1966, when the college enrolled ap
proximately 800 students. COCC
now enrolls more than 3,000 stu

increase of more than 50 percent in

The measure on the ballot pro
poses a bond issue of $13,870,000

The accrediting body has not
specified the sanctions it will im
pose if COCC fails to bring the col
lege library facilities up to the
specified standards. However, ac

includes enrollment or program re
strictions, which would affect the
number of students COCC could
serve.
The present library also has no
room to house new materials

gives area residents the opportunity
to study for bachelor's and master's
