Show Vernal Express Wednesday, Sept. VeraaO UBAITG ioosimiess The Vernal UBATC Business Department has once again started its classes for the fall term. The first day, Monday, Sept 17, was full of activity for new as well as returning students. All students attended an orientation orienta-tion meeting at 9 a.m. during which the instructors welcomed them and discussed school policies and procedures. proce-dures. Also present to welcome the students back to school were the new UBATC director, Mark Rose, and Dick Jones, director of instructional instruc-tional staff. Classes for the new term started promptly at 10 a.m. Of those meeting meet-ing for the first time were the computer com-puter classes. Computer literacy has become an essential part of education educa-tion that now begins in the elementary elemen-tary schools. The Uintah Basin Applied Technology Center offers computer classes in WordPerfect, 5.1, Lotus 123, dBase 4, and Basic programming. Some of the computer classes are offered every term both during the day and in the evening. Others, like Basic programming, pro-gramming, which are in less demand are offered only once a year. The most popular class, WordPerfect, which is also taught on Monday evenings, teaches the student to use the computer much like they would a typewriter. Basic computer concepts are taught in the class as well as how to manipulate text on the screen and send it to the printer rather than using pens, pencils, pen-cils, scissors, tape, or retyping text to make corrections and changes. Lotus is an electronic spreadsheet that can handle figures and text with electronic speed. With the touch of a few keys one can copy a group of numbers to other columns, can insert new columns or rows, erase numbers or text, do complex and repetitious calculations in a flash, and make changes, and corrections in seconds. Best of all, the computer can store all this information to be retrieved and used at a later date. Advancements in technology over the last five to ten years have removed many of the fears that people peo-ple formerly had about computers. Today, both at home and in business, busi-ness, people have found computers to be exciting and fun to use as well as helpful in accomplishing daily tasks. In today's society it is important impor-tant to develop your understanding of computers beyond the recreational recreation-al si.igc because the public will be required more and more to deal with computer technology in transacting daily affairs. Arva M. Redden is the instructor for most of the computer clasps offered at the Vernal UBATC She has earned a B.S. and a Master! decree from Uuh State University in lUi.ines$ rducatitm.

The queens from counties across Utah arrived in Salt Lake City Sept. 5, and doubled up in rooms reserved for them at the Hilton. "I roomed with Miss Tooele County," said Hoffman. "It was funny it seemed like we had all known each other for years after four days of doing everything together. It was a neat experience." The private swimsuit and judges interviews were held the first morning, morn-ing, with the talent and evening gown competitions that evening at the grandstands, which was open to the public. "The talent competition was the most challenging thing for me," she said. "It is scary because you can work so hard and then just blow it." Hoffman said she performed her talent tal-ent routine, a lyrical to Diana Ross' "It's My Turn," twice and though there were no major errors, she felt better about her second performance. perfor-mance. Hoffman said she and Wendy Owens, who choreographed the piece, worked for approximately 6 weeks perfecting the routine. Miss Utah County was the winner of the pageant but Hoffman said she enjoyed the experience and is sure it will help her at Miss Utah next June. "This was the hardest competition compe-tition I've been in. Next time I'll try to be more calm." Coleen Davis, director of the Miss Uintah County Pageant was also Hoffman's personal per-sonal director and organized her for the pageant "She helped calm me down and I really I appreciate her," Mabel Hardy retires from Zion's Bank An open house will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Golden Age Center to honor Mabel Hardy's retirement from Zion's National Bank.
