Bill Orton will not run against Senator Orrin Hatch in 1994. Orton, the Democratic third district United States congressman from Utah, made the surprising announcement to Bountiful Kiwanis Club members Monday. He held a news conference later in the day to make the announcement public, but said since it could not make the newspapers or television prior to that time, he would let the Kiwanians in on his decision early. After analyzing it and sifting through the facts, I have decided not to be a candidate for senate, he said, drawing groans from the audi- ence.

He earlier told about 50 Kiwanians and guests at the luncheon that he doesnt view himself as a lifelong politician, but as someone who got into politics to change some things and then to get out. He said he had never contem mm agao ousft ft gu plated a political life. I like my privacy and Im shy, he said. Besides, Ive never known a politician I wanted to spend time with. But he said he felt he had to do something about certain issues and before he knew it, he found himself in Washington. Davis County does not fall into the third congressional district. that government is responsible for protecting and he thinks peoples rights most people agree. But a number of goals of the party programs initiated by Democrats, like welfare, are not working worth a damn anymore, he charged. Welfare does not help people assimilate into society, or get them out of the mud, so government must look at new ways of solving problems. Orton told the Kiwanians that the best government is the one closest to the people. I feel a county commission is better able to make the rules affecting its people than a state legislature and the state is better able to make decisions regarding its people than the However Orton views opportunities like the Kiwanis luncheon as a chance to hear from citizens. He called it the height of arrogance, that elected representatives in Washington, D.C. can tell their constituents how things will work.

Mr. Williams presently has the student council working on a number of pro iecis. Most important to the faculty is the revamping of the attendance policy. .Mr Williams recently spoke to the student council about the apparent lack of t now ledge among students and even teachers. At one time, the policy stated that students missing more than six days a trimester, 90 percent attendance, must make up an hour for every day over the limit. Teachers now determine what students who are over the limit will do, and vvhde that has stayed mainly as make-u- p time, many teachers assign work instead. The biggest complaint, according to Mr. Hawkes, deals with truancy. Most faculty members want a more immediate punishment for truants. There is no and teacher policies vary from specific time a truant student must make-u- p class to class. Faculty members are concerned that students who sluff class arent punished more immediately or severely and feel that there should be a punishment, school-wid- e policy, the Leader stu-den- Ring goes fullWhencircle RUSH VALLEY Ann Thompsons wedding ring was stolen 17 years ago, the Rush Valley woman thought shed never see it again. 3ut through a twist of fate, Anns ring was found last week as workers dug a well on property the family recently purchased.

Most of the boxs contents, including the ring, were gone. I looked around and saw that nothing but the jewelry had been taken, said Ann.

The plan also addresses the long term structural stability of the natural bridge formation, said to be the worlds largest, and prohibits a variety of uses that are deemed inappropriate in terms of resource protection, safety or to the quality of the experience that most visitors expect. The plan has been in the making for four years and has been reviewed twice by the public at large and a variety of constituent groups including Native Americans, environmental groups, and business and travel leaders. The difference between the final plan and earlier drafts is in its sensitivity to Native Americans, elimination of its proposed implementation through several phases, and the net savings to taxpayers of seven million dollars.
