Thursday November 29, 1973 I The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Salem Scene by Jack 7itntn«riniii EXPERIMENT EXPtSES SENIORS TO GOVERNMENT OPERATION This spring will mark com pletion of an unique three- year learning experience for a select number of Oregon high school ?»niors. If all goes well, their ex perience will be shared by many more of this state's prep students in years to come It wasn’t necessarily plan ned that way, but it’s likely the exercise will help change the attitudes of Oregon youth concerning local jovernmerits and those who uperate them 1 junc hed in the spr Ing of 1 »72, It is called Governmental Res ponsibility and Student Parti cipation (GRASP). Coocelved as a new approach to teaching high school age students about local government and suppor tive organizations, GRASP has been igfered experimentally to a limited number of seniors from all IB of Marlon County's public and private highschools. Spelled out, the goals of GRASP are “1. To enhance the educa- tbdal environment by provid ing an opportunity for seniors to actually become involved in the community in which they live. "2. To improve the educa- tlonal process for high school students by eocouraging better understanding and communica tion between educational insti- tutions, governmental agen cies and community service organizations. ”3. To promote understand ing among high school seniors of citizen responsibility through their participation in govern mental and community affairs.” It is temporarily funded by a grant from Title 111 of the Ele mentary and Secondary Educa tion Act. In Its first year the federal grant amounted to$49,- 000, and involved something more than 150 seniors during spring semester. The second year the grant was Increased !• $57.000 and 192 seniors were Involved winter semester and 151 in the spring of the 1972-73 schixil year. This year the grant amounts to $59,000 and 140 seniors are partici pating winter semester and the number probably will be about 120 next spring. This is not a classroom exer cise, according to Ardyth L. Badger, project director. Each semester begins with four- weeks of governmental indoc trination at the individual schools, she said, but the key to the program is almost like on-the-job training. Each participant spends a to tal of nine weeks observing ac tivities of governmental agen cies or community organi zations and in many cases ac tually works for the agency or organization to which they are assigned.
