They were skeptical, because they thought that the Asso ciation should not meddle in the affairs of the teachers.

Actually, the first exam. was held in Woodstock in 1938, on Suicide 6.

What happened at the Seminars held in conjunction with the Aspen meeting? Well, yours truly and Bob Parker of Vail held forth on Communications. The members at the seminar seemed strongly in favor of better oommunioations within RISIA (such as this Newsletter) and with the publio. lJTe explained our new program to reach more people through radio, TV, and press ooverage. It was felt that one way of bettering communications - and ski teaching - would be through an exohange of teaching aids. If you have any. channel them through this office. We'll use them in the Newsletters and we can also use them in various news media. ---Helen-MeCl~ and ~ Ma.:t"t'insson-ehe.i;re "Can you Afford to be a Ski Instructor?" was the provocative subject of the seminar led by Steen Gantzel and Jim Riley" Til') oqw;l;"y ?1'O~lOc.'ttive answer was "probably not".

One suggestion was that ru':BIA might look ini.,o tr.e p03sibilities of starting a clearing house for summer job openings. If we can't eppord to be instructors, then why do it? The best answer seems to be that we enjoy skiing too much. This helps compensate for the financial ups and downs. At the conclusion of the seminar, a vote indicated that most of the members present felt that RES IA should increase its efforts in behalf of members. If you have any ideas, drop us a line. Technical Coordinating was directed by Nax Dercum and Jerry Muth. They explained the reasoning behind our ne't>1 certification policy. This should not lower our standards in any way. A candidate going back to pick up a phase he miSS"e'd should be much better prepared in that phase. His ski school director can spend just that much more time on the candidate'S weak points. Of course, the exam can be just that much more demanding, toet Since the TCC held its on-the-snow meeting last spring, "strike zones" for all phases of the Amerioan Technique have been established.
