Hy Julie Hint
"My scholarship shows an investment in mo that I must
continue my education to make all Indians aware how
much they can achieve it" they are willing," said Janice

forming native American people of the graduate program

America and the Baby Boom Generation
By Landon Jones
For the seventy-five million babies born between
1945 and 1964 the largest generation ever born
in America this is your life. They made
the '50's a child-oriented society, the
'60's a period of stormy adolescence, and now, in
the '80's, their adult concerns have become
national obsessions. Blessed with affluence and
education, the boom children were a generation of
hope and idealism. Today they are a generation of
uncertainly, unsure about their role in society
