Free throws missed: Bush 2, KornOwaj- Lindeman, Rhodes 2, There has been a lot of talk both pro and con over the city recreation program that has been carried on over the past several years by Jessie Schofield, city recreation di- rector. There is one group which feels she has done an excellent excel-lent job and has had one of the best recreation programs in the state. There is a second group which, to put it mild- ly, thinks the present recreation program isn't so hot. There is the third group which feels Miss Schofield has done a ; good Job, considering the money with which she has had to work. : After listening to both sides of the question and after having been swayed first one way and then the other by the various factions this writer has just about come to the conclusion that she has done a highly commendable job, ' considering the funds she has had to run her department ' and her program. Can Hear The Howls I can already near tne nowis tnat are going up irom iome of the competitive athletic groups, especially those 1 Interested in softball and baseball. But I'm willing to stick my neck out and risk being run out of town on a pole by these competitive athletic groups come Monday morning by repeating that under the circumstances and somewhat trying conditions, Jessie Schofield has turned in a creditable job as city recreation director. The big reason I feel she has done an excellent job is ) the fact that her recreation program has been highly diver-Sified. diver-Sified. As one person this writer talked to so aptly put it: "She has provided a lot of little activities for a lot of little people." ' Should Be Diversified In other words she provided recreation for those people peo-ple who maybe couldn't afford to play golf or belong to the . boat dub or maybe even pay the price of admission to a ball game. . And after all is said and done a city recreation should be highly diversified, because in the city the V size of Provo there are a lot of different people with a I lot of different interests. And these interests must be served to as great an extent as possible. That's the true test oi any good recreation program, or at least tnat s - the way this writer sees it. A recreation program should be more than just base hall unftbatl. rtftkthfl11 Atirl nt.hr rnrrtrWitlvp Athletics. It ; also should .include playground activities for the younger fffiSL! achS. ouys ana gins, such as suiry-ieiiiiig, sanu inuueuiig, pei hows, circuses, etc. Should Include Concerts It should include community concerts, parades, square dancing, pageants, and similar activities. It should include wimming, archery, and tennis classes, and model airplane building and flying. It should include after-school and f ish-inor ish-inor activities for the youngsters. Yes, it should even in ciuae nanaicraii classes, one - pnase - oi miss ocnoiieia b j 1 program, which has been severely censured by certain -groups who think of city recreation only in terms of competitive com-petitive athletics. In other words, this writer feels that a city recreation program should be broad enough so both the male and female population of the city can participate in to. It should be broad enough so that Grandma and Grandpa, Ma and Pa, : and Mary and John can participate in it and gain some relaxation. Have Their Place, Too "After all," as one person told this writer, "Mrs. Jones Has as much right to have her bowling or handicraft classes . as Mr. Jones has to have his softball or baseball leagues." I This writer isn't denying but what baseball, soft s ball, basketball and other competitive sports have their place in the city recreation program. They most cer ; tainly have a place In 4he program, along with girls "" softball and basketball.: But It doesn't mean that they 5 should dominate the program to such an extent that i they exclude scores of other important activities. A city recreation program that isn't well-rounded and diversified has no place in a city like Provo, where inter I ests are many and varied, and this writer' believes Miss r Schofield has given the city a well-rounded program. Cognizant Of The Fact i 5 Perhaps it isn't everything it should be for a city the lize of Provo. Perhaps more could be done for the com-! com-! petitive athletics side of the program. Perhaps more could I be done as far as girls' softball and basketball are concerned. con-cerned. But this writer feels that Miss Schofield is as cognizant of this fact as the next person. However, it takes money to run a recreation department and program pro-gram the same as It takes plenty of moola to run anything any-thing else these days. t No doubt, Miss Schofield would like to see a bigger and : better recreation program for Provo, just as much as any- body else. But when you've got to run a program and department de-partment on from $8000 to $14,000 a year, you've got to ' gpread the money mighty thin, if you're going to have a diversified di-versified program. Maybe, we're wrong but it seems to this writer that . Jessie Schofield has given Provo city a high-standard recreation rec-reation program, considering the money and facilities avail-! avail-! able to her for carrying on a recreation program in a city . the size of Provo.
