All interested persons or Don Stott, Mormons Note Anniversary of Program for Indian Students gh school vocational training. Noting that 1974 Is the 20th anniversary of the placement program, Dr. Victor Brown, Jr., church social services commissioner, said today the program has produced some outstanding Indian leaders and potential leaders who should have a great positive influence on the future of their people. The program, wherein parSaint Indian ents of Latter-da- y students between the ages of eight and 18 elect to have their children leave the reservation and spend the school year in foster homes, was actually conceived in the late 1940s. It was begun under the direction of President Spencer W. Kimball, then a member of the Council of Twelve Apostles and now world leader of the Church. In 1954 the First Presidency and the Council of Twelve Apostles recommended it be adopted as an official program of the church. There were 68 students placed in foster homes that first year, Dr. Brown said, and the figure grew steadily until it reached a peak of nearSince then ly 5,000 in 1969-7- 0. because of its strong commitment to strengthening the fam ily the Church has placed considerable emphasis on fulfillment of Indian students educational needs because of more and better facilities on the reservations. But there are still nearly 2,500 students participating in the placement program this year, the commissioner said. Bo, while more opportunities for schooling on the reservations are being made available now than in 1954, he said, many parents are still opting for the placement program for their children. It is intended that graduates of the placement program will usually become Involved in helping their own people. Of the approximately 500 Indian students at the Brigham (church-operate- d) Young University In Provo, Utah and the largest Indian enrollment in the country, about 60 percent are former placement program students. And, rate significantly, the drop-o- ut for academic reasons among Indian students at BYU is a low 15 percent. The percentage of students who obtain their degree is 20 percent. This compares with the national average of Indian students in college of four percent. Former placement students have gone on to careers in such diverse fields as agriculture, social work, law, dentistry, and college administration. Among the many who are making sig The University of Utah Honors at Entrance scholarship program has been expanded and personalized under a new systo Harold tem, according Weight, director of scholarships and financial aid. The scholarship is now based on academic achievement and includes a full year tuition waiver with the possibility of renewing it for three additional con71 2. In the past the award has been in the form of a one year non- renewable tuition waiver, class. The grade point average (GPA) required to receive the award varied at different schools, and at times left students guessing as to whether or not they would qualify. The new system puts the University in direct contact with the student, rather than going through a gigh school counselor. The scholarship will now be granted to the following resident students who wish to attend the U of U. Students who have main- tained a high school GPA of 3.9 or higher. Students who have a high school GPA of 3.8 to 3.89 and a composite American College nificant contributions to society are George Lee, until recently president of Ganado College in Arizona; Lewis Singer, counseling coordinator for the Key-enArizona School District; Dr. Bahe Billy, director of a Navajo agricultural and reclamation project in the Southwest; Jeri Goenett, a social worker for the Church; and Wilbert Wille, a BYU graduate directing the Office of Navajo Economic Opportunity for the Navajo Tribe. All but Miss Goenett, a Tlingit Indian from Alaska, are Navajos. Miss Goenett is also Miss Indian Utah for 1974; In addition, Nora Begay, a Navajo currently attending BYU, has been appointed to a two-ye- ar term on the National Advisory Council on Financial Aid to Students, which operates under the U.S. Department of Education. Miss Begay is a former Miss Indian America, having been chosen after graduating from the student placement program. President Kimball, who was raised in Arizona and has always had a special affection for the Indian people, has said: The Church is pleased with not only the placement program but with its other programs designed to provide educational opportunities and economic stability, and to help eliminate social problems for our thousands of native American Latter-da- y Saint families. ta, RTOGETir AMID SIPIECIIAL The second annual joint convention of the Utah Cattlemen's Association and Utah Wool Growers Association will be held in the Hotel Utah, Salt Lake City, on December 6, 5-- 1974.
