West Coast, for ABC television network. She described her position as acting as ABCs internal conscience. I feel everyone should sit down every fall and look at every show once, Mrs. Futterman said. Then you know whats on when youre not there." She said three major factors influence what children imitate from television what the hero or likable character does, what acts are rewarded, and constant repetition. She said parents should decide what values they hold for their child, and then encourage television shows that reflect these values. For instance, . he said, minority persons might want their child to see others like himself.

"The other thing is to gradually educate children to become good consumers of information and good consumers of products, she said "Aon can teach kids to look carefully, listen to what theyre saying and evaluate what has been presented to them." She said parents should set a limit on the amount television children watch. We know a bag of ixitato chips once in awhile wont kill us, but they shouldn t be a steady diet. There is a limit when parents say, No more potato chips.

Before 1968, the association did not really pay attention to the needs of minority members, but after that year minority caucuses were being formed. In 1971, the Chicano Caucus was founded at the NEA convention in Atlantic City, N.J., Sandoval said Because many caucus members are now Puerto Rican, Cuban or from other Spanish-speakin- g minorities, the group is now called the Spanish Caucus. The caucus helped push through a NEA resolution calling for abolition of standardized tests and a business item calling for a study of alternatives to such tests, Sandoval said. "The reason for this is these tests are particularly harmful to children who dont happen to be in the mainstream, economically, socially or politically, he said. The NEA also helped w'rite a Title 7 amendment to the federal Elementary and Secondary Act of 1964, providing $139 million for bilingual education, an issue considered very important by Spanish Caucus members.

Under federal farm law, the national average farm price of wheat over five months, June 15 through Oct 15, are used in determining the payments.

He suggested educators should "accelerate what we know across boundaries Typically. Dr. Campbell said, educators are not good research scholars and there are very few schools or school districts which have research departments. He suggested that the schools should have both a practice arm and a study arm."

If Spanish speaking and sumamed teachers want action in areas of concern to them by the National Education Association, they must initiate that action, according to Carmel Sandoval, an NEA staff member. Sandoval, Washington, D. C., spoke Friday at a workshop on "Educational Concerns of Chicanos in Horace Mann School, 233 W. 200 North, part of the Utah Education Association convention. Because the NEA is a membership organization responding to demands of its members, Sandoval said, "We have to depend on individual members of the association in Salt Lake City. Provo, Pueblo. New York, or wherever, to be initiators of change in what we do at NEA. Sandoval said he is a coordinator m the NEAs Instruction and Professional Development Division, which monitors 27 government agencies on issues of concern to NEA members. One such issue is bilingual education, he said.' But Ill tell you right now it is a very low priority item. That is because of low demand for bilingual education, Sandoval said.

I outlook. Parents might want their children to see shows that encourage helping behavior or other things the family holds important, she said. For younger children this may mean controlling the television set, Mrs. Futterman said. She said older children may be allowed a choice, but the parents should make it clear that they do not approve of certain shows. II you say, That show is really dumb, the child knows the family values that are important. She said this technique can also be used when, for instance, violence is seen in an otherwise good show. Mrs. Futterman said she is currently stressing a project of adapting novels and short stones for childrens television shows. Commercials are a fact of life, Mrs Futterman said. The question is not whether or not we should have commercials for children that is part of the system. The question is how do you live with commercials.
