Sandra Woodbury will represent her community and state as a member of the Classrooms National Student Body. During the intensive program, Sandy will join one-wee- 400 k other outstanding high school students from across the nation and overseas in an ' indepth study of government and politics through direct contact with government leaders and Washington observers. Students attend formal briefings at Federal agencies and on Capitol Hill. The curriculum focusses upon the nature of the Federal institutions and the decision making processes that are responsible for the formation of national public policies. The goal of the program is to foster seminars at which national decisionmakers, carefully selected to be representative of the full spectrum of current political thought, discuss the numerous operations and responsibilities of the Federal government. - Each seminar is followed by a period in which students are free to challenge or weigh the point of view presented. question-and-answ- er Smaller, post-semin- discussion ar sessions groups and give the students an opportunity to evaluate what they have heard and make an informed judgement on the realities of the exercise of power in our modern democratic system. Several of the seminars are er on-si- te Washington. Among past speakers have been Senators, Representatives, Justices of the Supreme Court, Cabinet Secretaries, members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, foreign ambassadors, White House staff, news media personnel and high-levexecutives from many different Federal agencies and the private .sector. Complementing the formal learning experience of the Program is the ' opportunity for students to explore the el leadership potential and civic responsibility among the student leaders by exposing them to the dynamics of our democratic system at its nucleus Washington, D.C. Chartered in 1968 as a nonprofit echicational program, Presidential Classroom has provided more than 18,000 young people with firsthand exposure to prominent government - ' geographic, cultural and of American society and provide one another with valuable perspectives on our national diversity.

The group is for female alumni of St. Benedicts Hospital Alcohol and Chemical Dependency Treatment Center (ACT), which opened in 1973. The group will meet each Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in the classroom on the lower level of St. Benedicts Hospital. This support group is in addition to regular follow-u- p meetings conducted at the ACT Center for patients who have gone through the inpatient program, said Robert J. Bednarek, ACT Administrator. Coordinator of the new session will be Beverly Burris, a counselor in ACT. Mrs. Burris said that the road to recovery is an especially long one for women. They are more reluctant to talk about their illness, and in general suffer more guilt. The image of a drunken mother protrays a worse image than a drunken father, she said. In addition, she noted, women in the rehabilitation stage are sometimes projected by husbands and others around her, while men are expected to come to grips with the problem. Treatment programs across the country often lose track of women graduates who need continued sup- port, Mrs. Burris said. This may be due in part to the fact that alcoholic programs have traditionally been geared primarily to men. Women have problems which are unique to them and they are reluctant to discuss them in a mixed group, she said. . . ' We believe at St. Benedicts that a special group for females who have undergone treatment for alcoholism and-o- r drug dependency will enable these patients to open up more, to share their feelings, and to receive support from the group, she said. by Kris Ewert Between Gordon Ortons and Randy Marriotts crews the final 200 feet of a new sewer outfall line will be laid within the next few days.

For example they might be able to do the back fill. He also suggested leaving some of the planned new fire hydrants to be installed later. He said they could be left with the Ts and valves. He estimated the city could cut the cost by about $4,000 by leaving the hydrants to be installed as the need arises. the Dennis City Shupe, Administrator, pointed out the fact ik AH al Four get Warrior of fh Month Dab KAMI MITCHELL Plain Citys local people have problems that have existed in tne past. Previously, two 15 inch tines were directed into one last pimp station and from there pumped into one 12 inch line. The capacity of the 12 inch line was not adaquate thus an occasional back-u- p problem would be created. With the installation of another line, which is 15 inch, the sewage outfall capacity will be increased thereby lessening any backup possibility. Construction crews manned by MIKE OLSEN 1) that much of the land along Washington Blvd. is not developed at this time, It wouldnt be hurting anyone, he asserted. They said the hyrants would be spotted close to the homes. The plan calls for more than the usual amount of fire hydrants. Since the area will eventually be developed as commercial and manufacturing areas, they feel that extra hydrants will be needed. They are planned for each 3S0 ft. instead of the usual 400 ft. distance between them. The bids were for the installation costs only. The city is saving the 5 per cent the sales tax would be, because the city is buying the materials. The engineers estimate for the water leins was $11,03. Paulsens low bid was $13,773 JO. The city estimated the sewer to cost $37,384.90, but Poulsens bid was $34,903.15. A Federal grant is helping to pay for a small amount of the work.
