During the course of the survey
a list of the titles of little used
periodicals was sent to the faculty
members for a response If reac-
tion was favorable it was
dropped from the cancellation

and was a breech delivery this

that this was the first time the
nurses had witnessed such a
delivery
A waitress came over
asked if he would like to

conception, they will discover the
true identity and philosophy of
the American Indian
It seems to me that the televi
sion industry lacks the knowledge
to realize that this type of casting
where the American Indian is por
frayed as someone who walks
around saying some sort of
gibberish is complete nonsense I
feel the telecasting of this show is
a great insult to my people
There are many of my people
who hold degrees from various
colleges Many are famous for
their art work and literature
Many traditional dancers have
even performed before the Queen
of England To these people it's a
greater insult
I had a feeling that many of
the titles were not being used, so
we began the survey with the idea
in mind of achieving better service
by including titles which were of
the most value said Beavers

We conducted the survey in
an effort to insure that all current
publications received in the LRC
were being used to the utmost ad
vantage of the students and
faculty Jim Beavers, director of
the LRC said
Beavers stressed that these
cancellations were not an effort to
lessen the number of titles, but
rather to achieve better spending
of funds of subscribing to more
publications which would be of
value to those using the LRC
Of the more than 650 titles
currently kept in the LRC, about
half a dozen are gift subscriptions
from private citizens The remain
ing subscriptions are paia for by
the college
Records show that the cost to
the institution for these subscrip-
tions for fiscal year 1977 was ap
proximately $12,700, or 3 per
cent of the annual budget for the
LRC Beavers said

He added that the delivery
this was told to the owner, he sab
that if the bid chief was not go-

him out Upon hearing this he
promptly asked for water
After many hours of jost asking
for water the owner had |ust
about all he could take He
walked over and told the old man
to leave But the old man said
No l ve come to be with my an-
cestors When asked what he
meant, he said that the cafe was
built on sacred Indian burial
ground and that he came to die
here
Later on in the day, he began
to raise his arms look upwards

Information office uses 5,000 pencils
The campus Public Information Office this week purchased 5,000
pencils on which are inscribed the school name and logo at a cost to
the institution of $400
In addition to the pencils, which are expected to last through the end
of the fiscal year in June, 1978, the purchase order contained numerous
requests for printed materials to be distributed on campus at
workshops, meetings and seminars
Folders are compiled by the groups hosting the meetings, and such
things as Oscar Rose Junior College note paper and pencils are often
included in the hand outs, along with various brochures describing the
programs offered through the college
'It is the job of the public relations department to present a
favorable impression of the school," PIO Coordinator George Johnson
said
Due to our increasing involvement in community projects we are
hosting more groups on campus and providing more tours of our
facilities than ever before
The pencils, note paper, name tags and folders for distribution of
material are one area we can work on to provide a pleasing at-
mosphere for prospective students, Johnson went on to explain
We know now that it's a lot easier to take notes on the advantages
of Oscar Rose when you have a pencil in your hand "
