According to a board statement, each absence in excess of three during a given term will result in the student's credit being cut .05 of a unit for each class in which the absence occurs. The policy reads in part, "Since participation in class discussions and daily completion of assignments are essential for the best success of a student in school, it is important that regular attendance be maintained." main-tained." There are exceptions to the field trip into Canada, Yukon areas A field trip just completed in the Canadian Northwest Territories and Yukon has yielded 462 new specimens for the oldest and second largest herbarium in Utah located at Brigham Young University. Over 96,000 non-living specimens are now on deposit in the library of preserved plants, according to Dr. Stan Welsh, professor of botany who recently returned from the two-week collection trip. The collection has been increased by over 70,000 specimens since he became director in 1960. The facility (second only in size to Utah State University's herbarium) was started in 1923 by Walter P. Cottam, now a professor emeritus at the University of Utah. According to Dr. Welsh, the flowers are picked fresh and put in plastic bags while in the field. After returning to camp, the flowers are placed between the pages of a tabloid-sized newspaper, fitted into a plant press, placed in a propane heater, and quickly dried-causing dried-causing many flowers to retain their near-natural color. All specimens still in the newspapers are then strapped together in bundles. Dr. Welsh noted that as long as strong pressure is kept on the bundle the flowers will remain intacts until they can be mounted. After returning to the herbarium, her-barium, the flowers are glued on 100 percent rag content paper and are labeled with the flower's name, the name of the person making the find, and the date and place located. Each specimen is then put in a mnnila file folder and placed into a special seven-foot high case where the dried flora is kept in dust-proof and air-proof conditions. The specimens are alphebetized according to their family, genus, and species so they can be readily found. The plants have been collected from all over Western America, Northern Europe, and the Middle East. The oldest specimens in the BYU herbarium her-barium were collected in Europe in 1850; the oldest natives of Utah, which were gifts from the University of Utah, were on the same intersection. The buildings have been done in the white and deep charcoal coloring and employ the drop awnings and the shingle front on the Friel's building. Work is progressing on other building changes in the business area. policy rule, however, Absences resulting from participation in school activities will be exempted, exemp-ted, but classroom assignments will have to be made up. If a student is absent because of illness or some other cause beyond his control, or the control of his parents, he may petition the school attendance committee com-mittee for a waiver of the attendance at-tendance requirements. The committee will consist of faculty members and at least one parent and one student. "Except in unusual circumstances," cir-cumstances," according to Joe A.

A large collection of plants from Utah dating from 1870-1920 are now located at Pomona College in Claremont, California. In 1960, Dr. Welsh began a program of exchanging specimens.

County workers show increase Total government employment em-ployment in Utah County rose 44.4 percent during the past decade according to an analysis completed recently by Utah Foundation, a private research organization. The months selected for comparison were October 1960 and October 1970. Ten years ago, the number of federal, state and local government employees in Utah County was 4,444. Last October, the figure had jumped to 6,417.

Utah County ups tax levy 1.3 mills The Utah County Board of Commissioners Monday unanimously adopted a mill levy of 11 mills for 1971 property taxes - an increase of 1.3 mills over last year. The levy comprises com-prises 9.1 mills for the general fund and 1.0 mills for capital improvement reserve. Last year's county levy was 9.7 mills, of which .9 mills were for capital improvement. The 11 mill levy is less than the anticipated 11.5 mills which was projected by the commission in preparing its 1971 budget last fall. "In spite of additional expenditures ex-penditures which the State Legislature has placed on us," said Commissioner Verl D. Stone, "we are still able to get by with less than the anticipated 11.5 mills, mostly due to increased in-creased property evaluation. The "additional expenditures" imposed by the legislature on three counties, the commissioners com-missioners explained, include placing of justices of the peace on salary rather than paying them on a fee basis, defense of indigents, board of health requirements pertaining to solid waste disposal, and the The law states it is unlawful for any person to cast the rays of any artificial light upon a big game animal while having in his possession any firearm, bow and arrow or crossbow whereby such animal could be illed.

The Intermountain Region timber inventory crew is completing an inventory of the timber resources on the Uinta( National Forest this summer, according to Forester Supervisor Super-visor C. S. Thornock. This specially trained crew, consisting con-sisting of 12 men, makes periodic surveys and resurveys of the timber and tree production produc-tion areas within the four-state region of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada. Inventory plots are randomly selected and measured throughout the timbered portions por-tions of the National Forest to gather data needed to formulate accurate and realistic timber management plans. Number and size of trees by species, amount of defect, steepness of slope, presence of harmful insects in-sects and disease, and many other important facts are collected and recorded on IBM cards for each plot. Many of the plots are in remote sections of the Forest which require long hours of walking in mountainous terrain. Crew members must be in excellent ex-cellent physical condition to be able to perform this work for an entire field season.
