After an incident like this it
is the duty of every parent who
has spray paint at home to care
enough for the future of their
children to find out what was
going on that night, and if their
child is involved. Parents who
care enough can find out If their
children are involved.
Meanwhile we must press
for more police protection. 1t is
high time the law steps in and
forces these parents to their
senses.

or guard the streets, because
after midnight the same eve
ming many more cars were
damaged, and even the school
was left unguarded-the win
dows and doors sprayed with
obscene words.
What is the private citizen to
do? According to the police
there isn't much they can do.
Aren't we supposed to take ade-
quate police protection for
granted? Where is the old.fash-
Toned "cop on the beat?" Are
we doomed to modern squad
cars looming through our resi-
dental areas not seeing" what
is really going on?
This is the third time within
one year that vandalS have at
tackled in this area. After sew
eral cars were found this sum-
mer with shattered glass the
reaction of the police was very
mild. 1t was stated that a resi-
Dental area could not be
patroled constantly as most of
the men are needed in the bust
ness sections. Even the street
signs were being sprayed at
great expense to the city. Now
That the third attack has come
it is the right of every citizen
to demand better protection.
Evidently there are many de-
hnquent parents uninterested
in the whereabouts of their
children. While they are play
ing cards or busy with their
own interests their children are
damaging property and their
own lives. Too many parents
refuse to. recognize their own
responsibilities.

Montgomery Junior Col

building will be dedicated
October 20 during a day.
long program of activity,
according to announcement this
week by Dean Donald E. Deyo.
Details of the program are
being developed by a number
of faculty committees under the
general supervision of Mrs.
Ferda Malone, of the English
department. The principal dedi.
catory event will be a convoca.
ton at 10 am. to be attended
by faculty members, students,
community officials and friends
of the college.
An afternoon reception will
be open at 2:30 pm. to students
and faculty members and after
$3.50 pm. to visiting high school
science faculties and other re.
lated groups. A dinner will be
held at $50 pm. for officials
instrumental in completion of
the new science building.
Features Modern Materials
Featuring the newest and
most modern construction mate
rails, including generous glass
surfaces facing eastward in pre-
fabricated aluminium panels, the
structure includes an audi.
torium-classroom with a seating
capacity of more than 200 at
ground level and two class
rooms, theater-type in construc-
ton.
A unique feature is Montgom-
cry County's only planetarium,
which occupies a squat, half
sphere dome atop the building.
The planetarium and science
classrooms feature the newest
in modern equipment.
A faculty of eight has been
selected to staff the building. 1t
includes DR.. Bernice Pierson,
biology; DR.. Frank Verwiebe,
physics; Mrs. Evelyn Hurlburt,

and James T. w. Ross, chemis-
try; Mrs. Imogene P. Furno,

Bernard T. Bridgers, biology,
ana DR.. Howard ]. Lauer, physi-
cal science and mathematics.
Future Space Problem
The opening of the new build
ing, combined with modifica-
ton of existing facilities during
the past summer, has provided
adequate classroom spaces to
meet the demands of the cur
rent part.time and full.time en-
rollment of 1850, according to
Dean Deyo, but overcrowding
continues to loom as a future
problem. The college also is
handicapped by a lack of ade-
quate parking areas, and some
students are required to park
as far away as four blocks from
the campus.
1--WE are rapidly approaching
a new saturation point and
future emphasis must be placed
on extension centers and, pos
sibly, a second or entirely new
campus said the dean. 1.-THE
Takoma Park campus will con-
tinue as headquarters, but it
will be referred to in time to
come as the main campus as
opposed to extension centers or
other campuses in Montgomery

timber for the Navajo people. The
Forestry Branch consists of Il en-
ployees; eight of whom are men,
bers of the Tribe. All are under
Civil Service status although tri-
bally appropriated funds pay sal
aries for the four aids primarily
engaged in fire control activities.
However, as previously mention
ed, this story is about four Navajo
foresters working year-around in
timber management, surveying
boundary lines, locating mainline
logging roads, marking timber
with paint sprayed from guns and
scaling legs with scale sticks to
determine the amount of sound
wood in each log which forms the
basis for payment of stumpage to
the Tribe as timber owner. And,
of course, they also fight forest
fires.
Who are these men who work
long hours and for relatively low
pay, who have dedicated their
working lives towards scientifically
managing the Navajo forest for
future Navajo generations?

in forestry 10 years and who is the

imagination as if by a trumpet,
are the ruins of the ancient evil
cation found in canyons and rock
dwellings. 1t dawned on me that
the true history of this country
has yet to be written - a history
of the people who inhabited this
land for over 1900 years till Am
erica was discovered" in the 18th
century. What we know today as
history of this country is only the
tail-end of the story, the story of
the invasion and wanderings of the
whiteman and the blackman dur
ing the last 400 years.
It is now for the NavahOs, the
Indians and the Americans to re-
discover America and recreate
their ancient past so as to enrich
the American composite culture,
and enable the people of this coun-
try - the Indians, the Europeans
and the Africans to proudly pos
sess their historical tradition. AS
an Indian Indian I am proud to
feel that this country is as an
cient as my own, if not in its ac-
counted contribution to culture at
least in left over ruins.

that have noticed in the Navajo
land is the extent of progress that
is being made, in social, economic

Indian Homes;
Tepee TOLodge

Although many Of the AssinA
boine and Gras Ventre Indians On
the Fl. Belhnap reservation live
most of the year in log cabins,
often tepee or lodge is erected
alongside the cabin and used -
sleeping quarters.
Lodgepole pine, with skin or can
vas cover is used in construction
of the lodge. It is painted by q
medicine man following pre-
scribed ceremony, and the design
belongs to the owner. Porcupine
quill or bead trimming on a lodge
is made by the women.
A chiefs lodge is marked with
an embroidered flap which hangs
In the rear at the top. The two
ears at tn top of tn front control
the draft in the lodge. They are
left open in good weather and
closed in stormy or windy wealth
err. Streamers hanging from the
top of the poles on the outside i'm
dictate the number of horses the
owner has stolen from his enemies.
(Stealing horses from your enc.
mics used to be quite a popular
sport but is not INDUCED in today.l
The inside of the tepee is from
20 to 80 feet from the ground to
the peak. On the inside of the te-
pee 9-fOOt canvas or skin wall is
hung from the poles to the ground.
This cloth helps to keep out the
cold and damp and is called a
dew cloth. On this cloth Or skin
the owner may have his personal
history painted. This history"
shows in drawings, paintings, de-
signs and symbols the most inn
pOrtant event of the life of the
owner his friends and enemies,
and is usually painted by a group
of his friends. This may be buried
with its owner. This dew cloth
may be decorated with Indian de-
signs. These usually have no sig
nificance but are purely decora-
tive.

That is to say, India should retain
It's roots deep down in it's cultural
