Thursday, July 23, 1970 Salem Scene Jack There’s an unique new edu cation organization in Oregon. It goes by the name of IPARZ its purpose is to “Educate for Leadership.” And it’s doingan effective job of telling young people what this nation, its economic system and its pro blems are really all about. IPAR stands for the Institute for Public Affairs Research, Inc. It’s the brainchild of cur rent President and Founder Ed ward A. Prentice, a second- generation Portland plywood and woodworking machinery manu facturer, who has long been concerned with the so-called communication generation gap. After participating at his own expense in the nationwide Inter collegiate Studies Institute, Prentice began discussing for mation of an Oregon movement that would enlist financial backing and competent speakers from the state’s business, in dustrial and professional com munities. The only idea behind the plan was to communicate face-to- face on a classroom level with young people about fundamental and current issues about which youth might be confused or un informed. “I guess we wanted a chance to explain in a practical man ner just what makes the eco nomic world go around,” he said. “And to impress on high school students, for in stance, that things don’t neces sarily get changed simply by wishing, by waving a wand or even by passing a law.” Prentice’s plan was quickly embraced by a broad-based, non-partisan group that includes both labor and management, Democrats and Republicans. Di- ■ rectors and advisors include AFL-CIO’s Thomas Scanlon and Georgia-Pacific’s William J. Moshofsky, former Democrat ■ Congressman Robert B. Dun- can and Republican Secretary ■ of State Clay Myers. It works closely with the ■Oregon State Bar, Associated ■Oregon Industries, Portland '.Chamber of Commerce and the Oregon Medical Association. I Officially launched in January Hbf this year, IPAR receivedijn- Fmediate favorable reaction from Portland metropolitan area I educators and school admini- I strators. More than 100 re- quests for speakers to appear before high school groups were fulfilled by the end of the school year. An estimated 30,000 high school students heard one I I I I I I I ments. Requests should be addressed to IPAR, P.O. Box 4384, Portland 97208. "Young people naturally ques tion the principles of the society in which they live,” said Founder Prentice. “Alienation often runs deep and frustation becomes rampant if their education is isolated from the rest of the community. “Through IPAR we’re elimi nating the isolation and by give- and-take communication helping to close the gap be tween the young and curious and the older and experienced.” Special Parly Sei for Mi as Malheur Girls Too many greases?

Remember when HIPPIE meant big in the hips, And a TRIP involved travel in cars, planes and ships? When POT was a vessel for cooking things in, And HOOKED was what Grandmother’s rug might have been? When FIX was a verb that meant mend or repair, And BE-In meant simply existing somewhere? When NEAT meant well organized, tidy and clean, And GRASS was a groundcover, normally green? When lights and not people were SWITCHED ON and OFF, And the PILL might have been what you took for a cough? When CAMP meant to quarter outdoors in a tent, And POP was what the weasel went? When GROOVY meant furrowed with channels and hollows. And BIRDS were winged creatures, like robins and swallows? When FUZZ was a substance that’s fluffy like lint, And BREAD came from bakeries, not from a mint? When SQUARE meant a 90-degree angled form, And COOL was a temperature not quite warm? When ROLL meant a bun and ROCK was a stone, And HANG-UP was something you did to a phone? When CHICKEN meant poultry, and BAG meant a sack. And JUNK trashy cast-offs and old bric-a-bac? When JAM was preserves that you spread on your bread, And CRAZY meant balmy, not right in the head? When CAT was a feline, a kitten grown-up, And TEA was a liquid you drank from a cup? When SWINGER was someone who played in a swing, And a PAD was a soft sort of cushiony thing? And a man couldn’t sue you for calling him GAY? When DIG meant to shovel and spade in the dirt, And TOUGH described meat too unyielding to chew, And MAKING A SCENE was a rude thing to do? Words once so sensible, sober and serious Are making the FREAK SCENE like PSYCHEDEL1RIOUS. It’s GROOVY, MAN, GROOVY, but English it’s not; Methinks the language has gone straight to POT: —Source Unknown PHONE 674-2074 Mr. and Mrs. Terry Stigile of Sandpoint.
