Contrary to popular belief, there are no police on campus except for "once In a great cer.

"It we can change the thought of only a small per. while, wlien there Is a reason, centage of those we work with, According toPolIceChletBak- we will have accomplished more er, no funds are now available for a campus cop, Federal funds have been requested for one of the present officers to work the two junior highs and MIS. The fund would simply pay for the hiring of an officer to take Us place.

He says that the person would be "someone like you and I will) good common sense." Also this Individual would be expected to contact the kids and help them. "The person assigned would be an ordinary police officer, an Individual that, if you had a problem and he didn't hav have the answers, he could tell you where to get them." The policeman to be assigned the Job would be Officer Marshall Brisbin, 31. He raid be what the police department calls a crime prevention offi- tlian we have now." Chief Baker said lie had the. crime prevention officer idea In mind three or four years ago. But as of yet there is no policeman on campus.

He also wanted to ask the' students to "keep open minds and judge things by what pens and not prejudge."

Nampa Spizettes Record Active, Successful Year Campus Rap By Marcie Swartz Question: What do you think of the idea of a policeman on campus? As (Ms year began, the Nampa Spizettes were in full swing.

Summer practices started in July with the girls ready and excited for school to begin. First came the football season and the drill team was able to march at the games. After football came basketball, and all the thrill that accompanies that indoor sport. TheSplzetteswere there, marching at home games, trying to boost the spirit of the people In the stands.They stood behind their team 100 per cent. The Pacific Northwest Drill Team Competition was held iu Boise again this year.

Four events held throughout the day made up each team's final score. The parade, in inspection, the afternoon and evening performances counted for a percentage of the points, The parade was colorful, with judges stationed all along the parade The routine judges were up in the Bon Marche parking lot. Inspection was new this year, the team marched into an empty room in Capital's gym and a judge inspected the uniform, boots, pom-poms, make, up, hair, and overall cleanliness of each girl. The afternoon performance, although if counted a few points, was more or less for each team to get the feel of the floor. The evening performance was the big thing, with Capital'sgym filled, and each team doing Its very best.

The support the team got trom the student body before if left, the roses, and the sup. port of the students who came over to Boise on Saturday was stimulating. It helped each girl to try her best and to represent her school well. Borah came in first, Capital second and Boise third. The judges were the same as last year.

The Hampa High School Spiz- ettes have always been an active club in the school. Some of the Spizettes feelthatbecause of the lack of a period, credit and grade, this year has been a hard one. Eachpractlcethlsyear was on the girls' own time, coming every noon, some mornings and nights. The admlnistra- tion has been asked to change this for next year. If they will, next year's team will be bigger and better than ever according to the girls.

Tri-caplaln Peggy Lenz has said, "On behalf of theSpizettes I would like to thank the student body, our parents and the townspeople for the help and sup. port given us this year. We are proud to represent Nampa High. Mrs. Mary Dell Walz, biology teacher: "If a policeman is necessary to protect our we should have him." Mrs.

Walz Wayne Markus, sophomore; "I don't see any need for them, except in the parking lots," OEA Holds Conference Mrs. Mary Harper, OEA's teacher-adviser, led a group of 14 students to a recent Conference which was held on April 2 and 3.

Of the several contests there, Nampa won two (irsls, one second, and one third place. Lorry Johnson, one of the first place winners said, "Some of the kids went just to be going, rot everyone participated." Panel discussions, discussion groups, tours, lectures, elections, an award assembly and contests of various types of contests were held.

The theme of the conference was 'What's Buzzin'." Patty Keim Says No Gap' Wayne Markus Ron Ptacek, junior: "I think it's a lousy Idea because some students will try-'togetawaywilli tilings behind the policeman's back." Ron Ptacek Student Council Votes For School Rodeo Club At last! The Nampa Itodeo Association has become a part of Narnpa High. It was decided at the last student council meeting through majority vole that this club would become school oriented. In the past, the Itodeo Club has been isolated from the high school. Now this club can proudly lend Its support to school events and its members can feel tliey are truly a part of it In return we, as sludents, can support their club and Its activities Maybe this Is one way to rid Nampa Hlgli of Us many opposing groups. Rodeo Club members have special jackets and are considering providing new members with tiny Insignia representing membership of N.H.S.

Rodeo Association. OIK main advantage for the club, now that it is a part of Nampa High, lies in the possibility of winning the traveling school participation trophy. This trophy is given lo the school having the largest percentage in attendance at the District Rodeo, May 13, 14 and 15. This is a new development, designed to encourage better relationships between parents, teachers, students, and the rodeo. Rodeo Club meetings are held for various reasons and to accomplish certain objectives.

ney General John S. Mitchell Is scheduled address ih? 23rd annual meeting ol the Kentucky Slate Dar Association here April 23. By Jim Brown "I don't believe that a generation gap exists," Patty Keim, senior class secretary at Nampa High School stated in a recent interview. "The gap is between people, not generations." The existing apathy between people, towards other people is appalling. Everyone's goal should be working for the good of all.

People should calm down, look at things objectively, and be fair and honest towards each other. Then we can begin lo communicate." Besides being seniorclassse- cretary, Patty is also president of the Jr. Civitan Club, and helped organize the Student Teacher Association (STA). When asked about STA, Patty explained, "The purpose of STA is to improve relations between students and teachers. On March 16, the Jr.

Civitan Club initiated a get together between students and teachers. The format allowed for everyone to get acquainted and talk with each other about anything of interest. Actually, such a meeting shouldn't be necessary, but it is important for sludents and teachers lo gel together and talk things over." Patty believes that the most important thing in life is for people to live and wort together. She says, "Maybe I'm looking forward to a Utopian society, but I like to believe that it's possible to improve conditions. I realize that everyone's life Rob Jamison, Junior: "I think it would be easier if they put a machine gun up on top of the Administration Building.

is lull nf countless discouragements and disappointments, but if everyone just remembers lo keep pushing, improvements can be made." Patty believes fhatfriendshlps are one of the greatest assets in life, and that once a basic friendship is established almost anything is possible to accomplish. Patty says that stronger antipollution laws and education in family planning being made available to high, school students is necessary to control the problem ol She says, "I'm really concerned with the situation of overpopulation and pollution taking us over in a much shorter time than we like to believe." Patty also expressed the feel- Ing that more people should consider adopting children rather than having their own. ''Many times I've been told that I'm too serious," says Patty, "but I don't always take everything so seriously. There is much in life that is humorous, which tends to balance things out, but I believe that being serious is most important." Patty's future plans include going lo the University of Ida- ho this fall, where she will work In either music education or public affairs.
