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. A later three-
