Reflex-Journ- al Formulated by a committee consisting of five appointed administrators and five teachers, selected by educators, the plan calls for all educators to be formally evaluated at least once a year. Provisional and probationary educators are to have one classroom observation prior to Nov. 30 and a second no later than 60 calendar days prior to the end of the school year. Dr. Russ Olson and Pamala of the evaCobum, luation committee, noted there are three levels of evaluation: first, self d evaluation; second, evaluation; third, formal evaluation by an appointment for observation. The latter would give a snapshot view of educator performance. Other observations and evaluations can be made when they are appropriate. A new feature of this evaluation plan is a system of professional assistance for new or less proficient teachers. A period of time is allowed in which this help can be offered and improvements made before remediation and termination action is taken. Supt. Richard Kendell said, Evaluation is not a science, but this document meets the general test. Copies of the plan are available in all schools and at the district CENTRAL BRANCH LIBRARY en Construction is continuing on schedule on the new Central Branch Library in Layton. The 14,000 square foot facility will initially house a 25,000 volume book collection, small auditorium and headquarters for the system's video cassette collection. Library Director Jeanne Layton says all signs are go still for a late summer, 1988 opening. With the collection, furnishings and landscaping, the project will come to about $1.8 million.

Because the district doesnt have the money needed to build new schools, the plan is to make better use of existing schools through innovative scheduling, boundary changes and additions to the junior highs now being used. Financing for the Central Davis addition will probably be through building bonds authorized last spring but not yet sold. Supt. Richard Kendell said no new bonding or tax increases will be sought. We will be within the financing now available, the superintendent emphasized. Dr. Kendell further noted that there are no plans for new buildings in the immediate future. Increased enrollments will be handled through alternative scheduling, remodeling, and the use of portables at junior high schools. about the high cost of eating out at restaurants. Utahns now spend about 35 percent of their total food budget at restaurants and a recent survey found that children ranked Ronald McDonald second only to Santa Claus in name recognition. Daniel recognizes this trend. With a masters degree in business administration, Daniel left Utah five years ago to seek his fame and fortune in New York City. The fame has eluded him and he now labors as a waiter at an upscale Manhattan res- taurant. Its not a bad job, he told me. The thing that always strikes me when I return to Utah is that the prices are so low. We all assume that New York City prices are outrageous but, compared to Manhattan, Utah is strictly bargain basement. Daniel works at a French restaurant, a small elite enclave catering to tourists and Wall Streets pit bulls. Its a reservation-onl- y joint; patrons wishing a table are advised to call at least 48 hours in advance. Its a popular place, says Daniel, but certainly not the most popular restaurant in the city. New Yorkers have a different idea about spending money. Theyre very willing to part d with it. Theyre not and our menu shows it. Daniel described the menu. We only offer five or six entree items on the evening menu, he says. And a customer expects to drop $100 for dinner. Thats $100 for how many people? I asked. Oh, thats for only one person. Gee, the main entree begins at $55. What steak is worth $55? I muttered. You dont get steak for $55. The $55 is for chicken, the most inexpensive entree on the menu. Now if you want a steak, I can get you a nice one for about $75., And what does the steak come with? value-oriente- Reflex-Journ- al Published weekly by Clipper Publishing Co.

John Stahl, A plate and utensil, he laughs. Im only kidding... Youll also get a small vegetable and two spoonfuls of rice. A baked ' potato is extra, of course. Of course! The average customer orders a filet mignon or a slice of halibut or salmon, said Daniel. Then youve got the Caesars salad thats another $11. For that price, I hope you throw in the dressing! Oh sure, he laughs. We dont cheat our customers. And then the average person would order a cup of coffee, e bargain at $1.50. If the customer is drinking cocktails, then you can figure another $12 about $6 per drink depending on the brand. If the person is not having a cocktail, then hell probably order a bottle of wine. Thats an additional $20 unless he wants something really exclusive. So far, a customer is up to almost $ 100 with a slab of salmon, a salad, a cup of coffee and two martinis. For that price, you should be charitable and offer a free dessert. Oh, theres no such thing as a free lunch, he says. Most of our customers dont order desserts. New Yorkers are into this health fad nowadays. But if you wanted dessert, I could find you a nice piece of cake or a small parfait for $5. If youve already ' spent over $100, why not blow another $5. Its only money. And now its time for your tip. Yes and tips are great. Its unheard of for a waiter to receive less than .10 percent. The 15 percent tip is the accepted practice, of course, but its not uncommon to get a 20 percent : gratuity. If I light a customers cigarette, for instance, I usually figure its worth another $5 on the tip for the extra service. My average weekly tips come to about $600. Thats $120 a night for five nights work. We dont even see a paycheck since that goes directly into our tax withholding. S6 1 basically live on $2,400 a month, actual cash I get to keep I can live pretty well on that kind of money if I dont eat at my own restaurant.
