This week two items made the headlines, the post basketball game, disturbances and the accomplishments of the students preparing for the science fair next week. The positive aspects of the latter are of far greater significance than alarm concerning the former. Ways to solve the problem of the disturbances are as plentiful as they are vague. Its doubtful that- simple mechanical devices such as all afftemoon games will work. This solution has been suggested by many including the Salt Lake Tribune in a March 10 editorial. Afternoon games may help a little, but they pose the double problems of, first, making it impossible for parents, particularly fathers, to attend and second, reducing the financial gate. If the people of this community decide they want afternoon games, another means of financing the athletic program must be found. The Board of Education does not presently support the full cost of the athletic program. The receipts from night games are normally about triple those of afternoon games. There are substantial benefits to spirited competitive athletics. They provide an emotional outlet for students, good physical training and the development of a healthy competitive spirit. v The evidence indicates - that students at Skyline and Olympus, at any rate, are not responsible for instigating these affkirs, and that they may not be as serious as has been thought, hi fact the core of them may come from- - youths not in school, having dropped out or graduated. Their prevention and curtailment' must' come from co - operation between educators, police, parents and mostly students. We. suggest, at the rjsh of being repitious, that having the courage to do the tough difficult thing -- walking, away from these affairs, fs a gocxtpart of the .answer for the responsible .. student.
