Show Snow College Developing Filot Program 3-Y- ear By Bruce Jennings Since the days when Socrates talked with his students on park benches and street corners in ancient Athens, teachers have sought ways to individualize instruction. And parents have continued to hope for the kind of classroom situations in which Johnny and Mary, each a person with special abilities and needs, could somehow receive the personal attention each student requires. In keeping with that g search for better ways of teaching, the Snow College Division of Technical and Occupational Education is now developing a three-yepilot program in individualized instruction. The Utah State Board of Vocational Education is funding the with a $58,000.00 program grant That amount is being spent for equipment, materials and personnel. We call it a pilot program, explained professor Lyman Tolman, who as chairman of Snows T&OEd. Division, is in overall charge, because we believe some of the methods, techniques and materials we are developing will be adopted by other institutions or at least encourage them to establish individualized programs of their age-lon- ar own. Snows pilot program be- last summer when teachers of several vocational gan autome- chanics, carpentry, drafting, electronics, office management weeks on and welding--spentsthe campus writing courses of study, preparing work sheets and deand student self-tesix ts veloping project report forms for their courses. From this initial phase we went on to the preparation of films and tapes that, in a modified form, presented the lectures and demonstrations a teacher ordinarily presents before an entire class, Professor Tolman said. What we set out to do, was establish a added, situation in which each student could progress at his own rate, without having to wait for or try to keep up with the rest of the class. When a student is ready for a particular assignment, he obtains the films and tapes covering that lesson, plays them in one of the carrels in his classroom and, finally, when he feels he has mastered the assignIf the ment, takes the self-tes- t. show he results of the self-tehas mastered the assignment, he goes on to the next one.

Hes not bound by time schedules and the traditional lock-ste- p routines. open-exi- t, Although Professor YOUR MONEYU FACTS TO HELP YOU portunities to develop the skill through practice. Some students are able to move ahead rapidly, others need more time. Some need to hear the explanation, on the tape, only once; others, several times. Some need to watch the demonstration on film once or twice; others need to play it back again and again. Some students require only an hours practice to master a particular skill; others have to repeat and repeat before theyve learned the technique, think of the waste in trying to keep them all together, day after day. Professor Tolman believes that this individualized method of teaching and learning has other advantages. We say our classes are MANAGING Tolman and his staff in the Division of R&OEd. are mainly involved in helping students acquire skills that Uiey can sell on the labor market, they think some of the methods and techniques theyre developing can be used to advantage in more academic areas like math and English. Study itself -- - reading, composition, writing -- - involve skills that can better be taught on an individual basis, they think. Although weve had our pilot program underway only six Professor Tolman months, we feel that we have said, already made considerable progress. In our allotted three years, we will have tested and refined it. Weve already introduced our new, individualized n a method into classes. The students in those classes seem to be thriving on it. We want it to become a truly pilot program, pointing the way to better education in the modern setting. half-doze- OF MUTUAL INTEREST Sanpete Deputy Authors Study on Suicide There are some things that ies only money will that make life more enjoyable, college educations for your children or a retirement income, to name but a few. It is estimated that one out of every 60 deaths in the United States was the result of either murder or. suicide. Annually, about 25,000 people kill them- But, money seems to buy less and less because inflation rears its ugly head everytime we go to a movie, buy a pair of shoes or drink a cup of coffee. Economists say that price increases which shrink purchasing power are unavoidable and will probably prevail for many years to of the course of business activity. Common stocks may help offset the ravages of fixed return investments cannot do. But how many people can afford to buy enough shares in a diversified portfolio of equities spread out over a sufficient number of industries to hedge against risk? The question is thus how to put e dollars to your work more efficiently. One possible solution is investing in mutual funds. If you should choose to. commit funds to this kind of investment program, your decision doesnt end there. Mutual funds come in a variety of forms. Some take a high-riswhile aggressive approach, others stress a more conservative investment philosophy. g Some concentrate on stocks. Others seek long-tercapital growth, and some maintain a balance between these two. Currently, income-orientefunds offer attractive opportunities. According to John Bennett, Senior Vice President of The Putnam Group of Mutual Funds, alert fund managers, through the use of intensive analysis and sophisticated computer programming, can successfully trade e utility and corporate bonds to achieve maximum yield consistant with prudent risk, plus possible capital gain. in an buy-luxur- come-regardl- ess inflation-s- omething after-expens- income-producin- d high-grad- selves. This startling fact is revealed article on Suicide and in the January Investigation a magazine issue of 10-published by the Utah Peace Officers Association. Sheriffs County Sanpete Deputy Wallace S. Buchanan, who wrote the article, points out in the importance of the phenomenon of suicide and the psychological aspects involved in committing suicide. of the The importance phenomenon of suicide is measured by the large number of people who take their lives each year, says Deputy Buchanan. But that is only part of it, he For every person explains. who succeeds in killing himself, there are many more whose impulses to die have been controlled by their religious and social loyalties or by their 5, . own fears. According City Police report, there ed suicides to the Salt Lake monthly activity were 189 attemptin Salt Lake City in 1974; 22 were successful. If we were but to realize that more people attempt suicide annually in the United States than live in Salt Lake City, the enormity of the problem comes into focus, Deputy Buchanan emphasized. Chronic physical illness and disability, neurosis, drug and alchohol addiction, life pattern of repetitive failure and accident proneness all contribute to a human being turning his aggressive drives upon himself, according to Deputy Buchanan. Any act of involves a complicated struggle between acceptance and rejection of life. It is partly between the individual and his immediate environment, he strpssed. According to the article, psychiatrists and psycholo- gists, he said. They are:-- ' despair, that is, loss of personal status due to reaction economic change; formation, that is, meeting the fear of death head on by showing a total disregard for it; self directed aggression, which includes partial suicide such as assuming unnecessary danger for the sake of danger, and rebirth and restitution, which refers to the extermination of the evil self and the rebirth of good or pure person. The most common methods of killing oneself, according to Deputy Buchanan, are shooting, hanging, cutting oneself, drowning and poisoning. Handguns are easy to acquire as rope. Pills are in abundance as are razor blades, he added. Of the many attempted suicides, only a few are brought to the attention of the police. those reported, the families of the disturbed person seek to find the solution without help from medical professionals in the field. Deputy Buchanan suggests that the police officer can, by training and understanding, take the lead in the prevention of He can use his insuicide. fluence to see that psychiatric assistance is made available to each and every person who attempts suicide. Of Senator G. Events are moving along in the Legislature. My hopes are that we will pass a Bonding Bill which will give the Six County area a physical education facility at Snow College and a building at Richfield for the Technical School. About legislation: SB 2 was my bill. It came out a Governors Committee, the Social of the Services Legislative Council. It did two things: the administration and enforcement of regulations affecting human drugs and cosmetics were taken from the Department of Agriculture and placed under the Division of of Health, and the penalties were changed from a misdemeanor to third degree felony after the first offense. This bill did not make any changes affecting vitamins or natural foods; however an amendment was inserted keeping health foods under the Department of Agriculture so everyone should person-to-perso- n Boy-ar-de- .Tb, PARCEL 2: Beginning at a Pint corner of Block 57, Plat A Southwest of the East North 64.00 feet, thence thence Manti City Survey; minutes East 16.52 feet, thence South 5 degrees to30 the feet 22.20 point West thence 66.00 feet; East Containing 0.02 of an acre. of beginning, Together thereon. with all water rights and appurtenances United Purchase price payable in lawful money of the States.
