I know television is aa Important element of tbelf growing up so I need to help them figure out what's really happening with it" "I know what they're favorite programs are," added Indianola elementary teacher Anita Allen, "I Just want them to be able to evaluate what they're seeing. "All it takes is a little discussion, a little conversation to figure out, 'What's that show trying to say?" The ISEA workshop will be repeated Friday at the University of Northern Iowa Education Center in Cedar Falls.

Iowa is one of four states where training sessions are being held under the federal program. Pilot teaching programs have already started in Boston, Chicago and San Francisco.

And when they did take a close look at the program content Lieberman said, they discussed whether any new Information was presented, values or beliefs expressed, if there was violence whether it was necessary for the plot, if occupations were portrayed correctly and other aspects that make students determine, "How real is all this anyway?" Much the same can be done with the elementary student added Dr. Charles Corder-Bolx of the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory in Austin, Tex. If youngsters of any age are to develop critical viewing skills, they will need help from their parents, as well as decide what really is and Isn't happening, Corder-. Boli said.

Some of the workshop materials were designed for parents, including an activity sheet on which parents can record how much time their children spend watching television. In the ISEA material, parents are encouraged to choose programs with children, watch with them whenever possible and talk about the 0 By Marilyn Muster Tribune Staff wtiNr INDIANOLA, IA. Given studies that indicate the average high school graduate has spent 15,000 hours in i of television set compared with des moines only i i.ooo hours in hiwta the classroom. educators think it's time they learned how to turn on the set without turning off their minds. That was the message to approximately 60 Iowa educators gathered at Simpson College here Thursday for a workshop on "Developing Critical Televiewing Skills' in students.

The workshop was sponsored by the Iowa State Education Association as part of federal project underwritten by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Television is here to stay so students might as well learn how to use it to their benefit instead of being used by it ISEA president George DuVall told' the group in opening remarks. This realisation is forcing educators to start using "the tune" as an ally Instead of fighting it and hoping it will go away which It won't he said. Youngsters can learn much from television about language, social and political issues, different occupations and even types of behavior. But they also must know that what they see on television is only one of many ways to look at a particular topic.

Often they accept what they see on television as normal, when really it is a unique event. Consequently, "Starsky and Hutch" may foster a tolerance for violence and "Kojak" may encourage a feeling that pushing people around and being aggressive is an acceptable way to get things, done. But it isn't DuVall pointed out and youngsters not only should know what show they're watching, but what Is happening on it and what they think about it Debra Lieberman of the Far West Laboratory for Education Research and Development based in San By Ckock Hawkins The Iowa Solid Waste Disposal Cotnmissioo on Thursday voted to require transporters of highly radioactive materials to notify the state before hauling them state highways. Enforcement of the provision, however, was left to the Iowa Transportation Department, which in the past has said that such notification is not necessary. Larry Crane, executive director of the Department of Environmental Quality told the three commission members that no figures are available on how many truckloads of "Yellow III" the highest classification of radioactive material cross the state daily.

He said it may be as many as SO. "You have to assume there will be a serious accident some day with a truck carrying Yellow HI material, and we know from experience that it will be hours before we know what the content of the material is," Crane said. By registering the material as it enters the state, he said, if an serious accident does occurr the response time by authorities can be improved for possible of residents and clean-up procedures: Commission members Fred Gosch, Russell Helms and Ann Frenzen all questioned whether the DEQ staff could enforce the rule. Crane answered that the Transportation Department's permit stations could take on the added duties. Charles Miller, director of the DEQ's air and land quality division, warned, "If we drop the ball on this, essentially the game's over." Crane also criticized the stand taken by the Iowa Transportation Department "Wide loads need flags, an escort and permits to travel on Iowa highways.

But in this case (the Transportation Department) apparently doesn't want to know anything about it. And I find that very inconsistent." The matter arose after it was learned that contaminated material from the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania was being transported across Iowa to a waste facility in the state of Washington. Looming over the issue, however, is a proposed U.S. Transportation Department rule saying that notification requirements of state and local government would be "inconsistent," with the U.S. regulations and therefore prohibited.

The proposed station, which would operate on Channel 53, would re-broadcast the signal of KSTS-TV in San Jose, with a translator to be located at 732 Eighteenth St Booker Wade, the lawyer whose company has applied for the FCC license, could not be reached for comment Thursday. However, an official with KSTS said Wade plans to broadcast minority-oriented programs a few hours each day in Des Moines, Albuquerque, N.M., and possibly one other city. KSTS hopes to begin broadcasting in January.

A local group, Urban Community Broadcasting, has been awarded $25,000 matching funds by the City of Des Moines to start a black-oriented radio station (KUCB) here. Linda Hardnett a Drake University, law student is president of Urban Community Broadcasting. The only black-oriented media outlet in Des Moines is the Iowa Bystander, a tabloid newspaper. Stem, seed trail leads troopers to marijuana Iowa Highway Patrol troopers Wednesday found a trail of stems and seeds leading from a parked car at 3828 Fifty-seventh St.

At a bearing in May, an official of the Iowa Transportation Department said they consider the federal rule sufficient protection for lowans.

Ob another matter, the commission rejected a proposed rule to allow beverage container manufacturers to substitute "Return for Deposit" on containers for "Iowa Refund cents." The rule-making request had come from the distributors of Perrier water, but staff members said Perrier had taken a different route and obtained a declaratory ruling from the commission exempting them from the ruling. DEQ staff members said other companies could take the same route as Perrier if they also wished to be exempted, but passage of the proposed rule would permit widespead circumvention of the labeling requirement's intent Mechanics reject offer; still on jobs Union mechanics at Des Moines area automobile dealerships have rejected the latest contract offer from the dealers, but are continuing to work without a contract Merrill Frost president of local 2S4 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, said the 300 members of the local overwhelming rejected the latest offer. No further negotiating sessions have been set, but Frost and Max Holmes president of the dealers association, said a meeting will be held soon. Holmes said the rejected offer was to boost the basic salary for mechanics from $8.21 an hour to $8.81, then to $9.41 in the second year and $10.01 in the third contract year. Fringe benefits would make those figures $11.34 in the first year, $12.02 in the second and $12.70 in the third year.

Holmes said overhead expenses are equal to or higher than the employee wages and fringe benefits. The hourly labor charge to customers at Holmes Oldsmobile-Honda is $28 an hour, he said. He added that whatever settlement is reached will not be made retroactive to Sept 1, when the last three-year contract expired.
