Show Orem-Geneva Times- -Wednesday, August 27,1986 Utah Foundation Eeport: Utek lis Betow Average Although it may not appear so during the hectic days of a legislative session, the workload of the Utah Legislature is considerably below that of most other states. This was the conclusion reached by Utah Foundation, Founda-tion, the private research organization, organiza-tion, in a study of Utah's legislative workload. According to the study, a total of 1,571 bills were introduced in the Utah Legislature during the three-year period 1883 through 1985. Utah ranked rank-ed 43th among the 50 states in the number of separate bills considered, and was well below the U.S. average of 5,970 per state. During this period, 238,435 bills were considered by all state legislative sessions in the 50 states with the number ranging from a high of 48,694 in New York to a low of 1,459 in Kentucky. The size of the state, of course, is an important factor in determining the number of matters brought before the legislative body for consideration. Generally, more legislative measures are introduced in those state having large populations than in states with small populations. Foundation analysts point out that a total of 677 bills were passed in Utah during the 1983-85 period. This was well below the 50-state average of 1.407 bills per state. Utah ranked 41st among the 50 states in the number of new laws enacted. Although Utah is below average in the number of bills that are introduced in-troduced and enacted into law, it is much better than average in the percentage of bills introduced that f safari C. R.

Nationally, the survival rate of proposed legislation averaged 23.6, and this ranged all the way from a high of 60.7 in Arkansas to a low of 6.3 in New York. Prior to 1985, the Utah Legislature met in a 60-day regular session during odd-numbered years and in a 20-day budget session during even-numbered years. Following approval ap-proval of a constitutional amendment in 1984, this format was replaced with a 45-day general session in each year beginning with 1985. The Foundation study indicates that the new system has tended to even out the legislative workload and enabled the Legislature to get more work accomplished. Utah has opted to maintain the traditional concept of a citizen legislature representing a cross section sec-tion of the community. Some states have departed from this citizen-legislature citizen-legislature concept by creating a professional pro-fessional legislature which consists of members who make legislative service ser-vice their principal vocation. Such "professional" legislatures usually are characterized by long extended legislative sessions. Approximately ten years ago, Utah reorganized the Legislature to broaden the base of participation in legislative activity. Following the reorganization, all members were assigned to a committee which meets (usually once a month) between legislative sessions to study the major ma-jor problems facing the state and to Area obituaries Robert "Bob" Andersen Wallace Robert Andersen, 68, of Orem, died Saturday, August 23, 1986 at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, Utah.

Prior to the reorganization, the interim study of state problems between legislative sessions was performed by a small select group of legislators. In additon to increasing participation par-ticipation by individual legislative members, the 1975 reorganization also provided additional professional staff assistance for the Legislature. The primary function of the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel along with the Office of Legislative Fiscal Analyst is to serve as professional staff to the Legislature and its various committees.

L i L Chinese TV Crew Get Unexpected View Of America Six members of a production crew from Central Chinese Television in the People's Republic of China are getting a view of American life they didn't expect. They are at Brigham Young University this week to finish a six-week six-week orientation on U.S. film making and to produce a documentary about family life in America. "We came here without very clear ideas about American attitudes and the family," says Dong Ming, deputy chief of the Documentary Division, Central Chinese Television. "We thought Americans did not have a serious attitude toward their children. "I personally was surprised because I believed Americans did not love their children as much as the Chinese, but now I think I'm wrong. We interviewed people in New York, Washington, D.C., Nebraska and Utah, and they seem to have deep love for them. I saw people enjoy taking tak-ing their children outside or taking their babies with them." The project that brings the Chinese broadcasters to the United States has been coordinated through the Academy for Educational Development in Washington, D.C., the BYU Communications Department Depart-ment and KBYU-TV. The AED submitted a project proposal early this summer to the United States Information Agency's Office of International Visitors, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Katherine Boswell, project director direc-tor from AED, a private, nonprofit educational organization designed to stimulate and encourage understanding understan-ding among nations of the world, arranged ar-ranged the "hands-on" experience. "I thought that teaching the theory behind making an American documentary-and then having the participants actually produce one-would one-would give them a framework for understanding television production in the United States," she said. In the process, the Chinese participants par-ticipants observed unexpected scenes of American lifestyles as well. Ming, for example, shared the preconception of the others that most Americans wanted no children, or at least as few as possible, so they could indulge in entertainment. "But I saw a woman with two children, who was going to have a third child, and she seemed pleased. I met a grandmother with 10 children, 45 grandchildren and 70 greatgrandchildren. great-grandchildren. That is another surprise. sur-prise. I believe some perhaps do not want children, but certainly not all." :, ;j, He also thought, based on a trip he took to Europe several years ago, that women stayed at home to take care of the household tasks and children, and that the husbands made the decisions. "It was another surprise because when we arrived in the United States, it appeared that no women stay home." The visitors have interviewed a number of families in U.S. cities, suburbs and farms. They also discovered a fundamental fun-damental difference in film making. While their pre-production work is similar to the American approach, the content differs. "In China we have a more visual image, such as factories and street scenes," says Ming. "Very few people peo-ple talk. In an American documentary, documen-tary, I noticed right away that there are a few people who talk quite a lot. The interviewee is more in charge in America. As a young producer, I have tried that American practice before." The editing process also differs, according to Ming. In the United States, the audio portion of a program is completed first and the video is matched. In China the video is laid first and the audio comes later. "So far this is confusing, but we'll see how it's done," he says. The project concluded Aug. 26 in Salt Lake City with the finished documentary reviewed by a panel of American professional broadcast journalists as part of the Radio and Television News Directors Association's Associa-tion's national conference. KBYU was helping the Chinese delegation complete com-plete taping, editing and post-production post-production work. To clean a glass decanter, chop a large potato into small pieces.
