Show Thursday, December 14, 1978 Page 3 Accreditation Team Favorably Impressed Preliminary evaluations of Park City High School by a 28-member accrediting team give the school and faculty high marks. "Offhand, I would say we're very favorably impressed im-pressed with the school," said Joyce Hansen, captain of the accrediting team from the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges visiting Park High. Hansen said a final, written writ-ten evaluation will not be sent to the school for several weeks but she did note some of the school's particular strengths. "The teachers are one of this school's greatest strengths," she said, adding that Park High Principal Jack Dozier received excellent ex-cellent ratings from the school faculty. Favorable comments also were expressed by team members on the positive attitude at-titude of the students, the balance of students to teachers and the quality of tlje home economics classes. Hansen did say that the media center could use more library material. "It's a fine center now, but additional materials could be used," she said. She added ad-ded that it is difficult for new schools, like Park High, to develop a full library in a short time. Park High's media resources have been a cause of concern for the faculty for some time and steps have been taken to remedy the situation. Hansen noted that the media center recently received several thousand dollars worth of resource material. Dozier said that it was to the school's advantage that the accrediting team came when they did since the team could provide the school's faculty with input on new programs being initiated at the school. "We were lucky to get an outstanding accrediting team with some real professionals," said Dozier. "They could give us fome very valuable, information.": M i Mmk m V - V The Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation team. Mayor States Position employers to consider housing for their employees. We can plead and cajole, but it is primarily the responsibility respon-sibility of the private sector. The municipal corporation can't regulate the ownership of buildings." In an effort to clear up confusion con-fusion over the city's position on the housing shortage, shor-tage, Mayor Jack Green read a statement at the December 7 City Council meeting. Mayor Green said statements made by City Planner David Preece calling for a moratorium on the condominiumization of apartment units "werfe misconstrued by headline readers." The mayor saitf some interpreted the statements as "official actions, ac-tions, rather than a personal opinion by a city employee." Preece's recommendation to the City Council came as a result of the recent rash of apartment conversions to condominiums. The city planner felt the con-dominiumizations con-dominiumizations were taking apartments away from the already limited housing pool. "The Park City Council never considered a moratorium or regulation of ownership of buildings," Green said, adding that he felt it was an illegal infringement in-fringement on property ... .rights...., ... ,.; , . ... . , "We have urged low, in-,.

Grand Eastern Offers New Service Eastern Airlines initiated service to Salt Lake City this week and the airline's expansion ex-pansion into western markets may mean that more southern drawls will be heard on Park City's slopes. The airline deregulation bill recently passed by Congress has allowed Eastern to expand its routes in the West. The airline's main routes are hubbed in the Southeast. Milton Branch, a sales executive for Eastern who was skiing in Park City this week, says the expansion will mean more direct routing for southeasterners who want to ski the West. "A lot of skiers who learn to ski in the Southeast are eager to try the more challenging slopes of the West," says Branch. "It may seem wierd but one of the biggest ski clubs in the nation is based in Miami." Diane Reed at Park City's "The Travel House" says Eastern will start selling Utah skiing in the Southeast in order to increase passenger miles flown to Salt Lake City. Eastern's move also will provide advantages for those flying from Salt Lake City. One temporary offer by the airline gives passengers flying out of Salt Lake City to St. Louis a free ride to one of 36 Eastern cities (Washington, D.C., Miami, etc.) Than can mean a $50-$150 $50-$150 sayings in flight fare. , Seafood Special Filet of Sole Stuffed with Shrimp Imperial ITALIAN CUISINE Join Us!!
