Chinese arrive in Eleven days into a 3,600-mile "Friendship Run" across the United States, three distance runners from the People's Republic of China and Georgian distance runner Stan Cot-trell Cot-trell sprinted through Vernal Wednesday. The run is a continuation of a 2.125-mile "Great Friendship Run" through China late in 1984 from the Great Wall in Beijing (Peking) in the north to Guangzhou (Canton) in the south by U.S. ultra-distance runner Stan Cottrell. The runners left the steps of San Francisco City Hall at 10 a.m., June 10 and plan to reach the White House in Washington, D.C. in 43 days. This was not CottreH's first run through Vernal. "I cannot believe the growth, the many business that have been built since I ran through here Just five years ago," he said. Five years ago Cottrell ran through Vernal as part of a 3.103 mile run scroti the United Slates. "We have two objectives in the U S, portion of the "Great Friendship Hun," Cottrell said.

"What does it do?, Is it dangerous?, Does water run through it?" were questions asked about the Hydro-tube. Ms. Huang Yayan, Grace, interpreter inter-preter from the China Sports Service, translated the distance runners' comments. "We hope we can take home valuable lessons for our athletes from this run," Ms. Yayan said. Cottrell said that he believes athletics can go a long way in building friendship between peoples. "Athletes especially can build common bonds through achievement and effort that it takes to gain great accomplishments," he said. CottrcH's run through China was five years in the making as he had to persuade the host government of the value of such an accomplishment. It took place from October 10 through December 10. 1384. Since then Cottrell Cot-trell has worked at regaining the 16 pounds he lost on his trek, because the Chinese would not feed him potatoes, his favorite which is high in carbohydrates. The Chinese said only peasants eat potatoes, Cottrell, 42. and the father of three children, has received numerous hofwr for his athletic feats and has written two books describing them.

The bill will reduce the amount of money for development of synthetic-fuels synthetic-fuels for $6.5 billion to $500 million. The House Energy and Commerce Com-merce Committee, on which Rep. Howard Nielson has a seat, will vote on the bill in the next week. Ruth Webb, staff assistant for Rep. Nielson, said that Nielson is opposed to the bill, but he does see a majority majori-ty of the committee sharing the same opinion. Passage is not assured through the House and Senate and a large back log will keep the bill from receiving Congressional attention ' for sometime. The course of its five-year life, the SFC has seen numerous attempts to abolish the independent, government-owner corporation set Board approves tentative standard for those in extra-curricular activity The Uintah School Board was dissatisified with a proposed academic standard for participation in extra-curricular activities, but its members-approved the first reading of the proposal so that organizations could have something to go on. The proposal will allow students to participate in extra-curricular activities ac-tivities if they show "satisfactory progress toward graduation." Quarterly grades will be the determining deter-mining factor in the academic area. A student will not be allowed to participate par-ticipate if in the previous quarter they have an "F" grade in any class. The proposal also requires that a student receive no more than one mark of "unsatisfactory" in citizenship. citizen-ship. Citizenship is graded, highest to lowest, by "honor," "satisfactory," "needs improvement," and "unsatisfactory." "un-satisfactory." Grounds for losing one's eligibility includes illegal use of controlled substances such as alcohol, any form of tobacco and other drugs. Other grounds for loss of eligibility are defacing or willfully damaging school property, inappropriate behavior at a school activitiy, truancy, truan-cy, iastigating a fight, and inappropriate inap-propriate behavior.

The bill will immediately dismiss the five current directors of the corporation, cor-poration, require the energy secretary to wind up it business in 90 days and transfer responsibility for its projects and contracts to the . Energy Department. It would authorize $500 million for synthetic-fuel projects and would limit government exposure to 60 percent per-cent of any project's capital and operating costs. , "If you're looking for ways to save money down the road, this is an easy one," said Rep Mike Synar, D-Okla., one of the sponsors of the bill. Synar told the subcommittee, "It is time to cut our losses and put an end to what I believe is the most wasteful and unproductive agency in the federal government." The vice chairman of the corporation, corpora-tion, former Rep. Tom Corcoran, R-111. R-111. who opposed the corporation as a House member, has advised Rep. tions were liked by the Uintah School Board, except for in the academic area. , Actually the proposal is stronger than that of the State Activities Association which rules that a student stu-dent can participant if he or she has passing grades in six of seven classes or five of six classes. The Uintah School has adhered to the State Activities Association rules, however, other groups like the cheerleaders, flag twirlers. and drill team have a self-imposed higher standard.

A Vernal woman dnv-mg Vc'sagcn Nielson to start looking at one or two Utah projects for serious consideration. considera-tion. The Seep Ridge Project, in southwestern Uintah County, is already one of those projects. The bill authorizes the Department of Energy to give special consideration considera-tion to projects carrying a letter of intent, in-tent, but is does not guarantee financial finan-cial aid. "I know pork-barrel politics would not enter into decisions on Capital Hill, but there are skeptics," said Corcoran. "We think Congress was right with respect to this structure back in 1980 and we don't think it should be changed." During Corcoran's visit to the Seep Ridge Project several months ago he was optimistic about the future of the project and securing the promised SFC backing. However his comments also included the all to familiar song: delay. The project was being delayed for up to six weeks while a central processing plant proposal was evaluated. that the proposal was more stringent than the current policy because it was based on quarterly grades rather than semester, it allows no F's and it takes citizenship into account. Board member Verlin Vincent said he supported the proposal except in the academic area. "Under this policy a kid could participate par-ticipate with all D's," he said. "That is not a standard." The policy is the result of patron concerns that a person currently can participate in sports with all Ds and an F, but a person wanting to be a cheerleader has to have a least a C average.

The board was faced with approving approv-ing the first reading of a policy they totally did not agree with leaving organizations currently preparing for next year with no direction. The board decided to approve the first reading of the policy and to implement imple-ment any changes during the second and final reading. The main concern of the board is that the district have a uniform policy for eligibility in extracurricular extra-curricular activities. The issue of increasing in-creasing the academic requirement has become an issue since an indication indica-tion that the state may implement such a requirement. a . kt 3 fcnf fa1 if'HH Utk Summer Wrestling il tl '! |
