Show SIGNPOST Tuesday, November 17, 1970 Stab at institutions made Page 2 in ethnic studies workshop The contention that a person is not a dropout, rather a "pushout" by the educational institution, was suggested at an ethnic studies workshop at Weber State College Thursday. Two representatives from the Area Manpower Institute for Development of Staff (AMIDS) from Los Angeles spoke to area people concerned with ethnic studies, organizations andpersonnel. "Tuning in on the Tuned Out" was discussed by Gabe Robles, a specialist in English as a second language, and Frank V. Norello, who works mainly with adult basic education, for their introductory session. "Institutions are responsible for tuning out individuals," stated Mr. Robles. "Institutions are responsible for meeting individual needs. There are dropouts within the g)?U3 KOUJ tfPS221E Noise bother you?

When the institution doesn't meet the individuals' needs, the individual is pushed out," Mr. Robles stated. "We all use categories, we don't see the person behind such emotionally-tagged labels as disadvantaged, and trainee. We never know the emotional tie that the individual links with that label," he added. Teachers who feel that they are effective because they meet the needs of the average and above average student were questioned by Mr. Robles. "C's and D's are a mark of poor teaching, not tough classes," he said. He felt that the ideal situation would see a teacher giving only A's and B's. Part of the problem faced in education is the "discrepancy-between the school's-'interpretation of reality and the individual's interpretation? of . reality," Mr. Robles said. He commented that the essence of the lecture and the workshop : was "to start shattering ;your :-beliefs and start dealing ' with : individuals instead of groups." The workshop continued through Friday. Western Union Telegram To: Weber State Students From: Timothy O'Leary Hi Heavies! STOP.

Liquor policy change By John Crandall A new campus liquor bill will be put before the Student Senate. The bill initiated and introduced by student body president Fran Wikstrom, is an amendment to an old policy in the WSC catalogue. It states that "WSC does not permit the use of alcoholic beverages either on campus, or at college-sponsored functions off the campus. Any violation of this rule is subject to disciplinary action." This is interpreted to include activities sponsored by college groups on or off campus. The amendment to the old policy stated above opposes disciplinary action on the part of WSC on off campus activities sponsored by college groups, administered to student violators. This is not a big change in policy but it is a significant one. However, the change does not give license to the misuse of liquor by college groups off campus. "The idea is to subject everything to state and local laws of off campus control of liquor," stated Craig Tolton, legislative vice president The new bill will amend the old policy by it's statements of, "consumption of alcoholic beverages on other than college owned property should be subject to state and local laws." It also states that "present school policy regarding alcohol consumption creates objectionable atmosphere to students. Students of legal age should be allowed to drink when not on college owned property and not in violation of state and local laws." The bill was referred to the senate policy committee for discussions and recommendations regarding its acceptance. Fran Wheeler chairman of the policy committee stated that "the significance lies in the definition of college sponsored functions off campus .as specifically stated in the college catalogue." Since the old policy is interpreted to include activities sponsored by college groups on or off campus, concern is evoked by the student government to amend the policy.
