This question cat lead to heated arguments, but logic always seems to require an affirmative answer. We agree with a well-known member of Congress who puts it this way: "Business leaders have an obligation to get involved in-volved in politics and to bring their wisdom and experience to bear on the process of selecting and electing the people who make our laws and run our government." The quote is from a speech by Sen. George Murphy (Ii.-Cal.) before the Business-Industry Political Action Committee. BIPAC is a bi-partisan organization which supports sup-ports conservative candidates, regardless of their party affiliation, who believe in the free enterprise system and work for sound government. Sen. Murphy urged that leaders get their young executives interested in and informed about the real meaning of political development., He said, "The future of the country is going to be in their hands and they must become involved. "I beg the nation's businessmen to have faith in this government. Help it in every way you can. Realize Re-alize the conditions under which it has to operate," Sen. Murphy added. He stressed that businessmen should continue and increase political efforts to join the crusade "pick up a few votes" in order to preserve this great constitutional government, which "without question has been the most progressive, most humane and the most conducive to human freedom and happiness in the history of mankind." t "irii I ir "1 m GOVERNING BOARD Newly named as members of the governing board of Payson Hospital are, from left, Dix Grace, Jack C.

Schools feature no partitions The open school without par titions between classrooms is becoming more and more the accepted building style in Utah schools, according to Dr. Leon F. Christiansen, school plant specialist for the Utah State Board of Education. His records show that of the 11 new Utah schools now being planned or constructed, none of them will be a conventional structure with separate classrooms class-rooms lined up along a corridor. corri-dor. Eight of these new schools will be of the open type where no partitions divide an area usually as big as three ordinary classrooms. , , , IjZ few irjffin'uTOIiir'liEIi1 wJMlBII S& iarjjv tjtwjjrTciniiilr iDfiIIu sfi&'WililDi'-0RM' sfi&'WililDi'-0RM' 0 C'mJSM'JiB1 REP. LAURENCE J. BURTON As Congress begins its "second "sec-ond session" of the 91st Congress, Con-gress, it's time to take a good, hard look at work accomplished during the first session to be realistic at the accomplish menis and the failures, of which there were several of both. Most Utahns will agree that the first session saw some def inite success for our state: the Central Utah Project which was appropriated $10 million and while it wasn't $15 million that I requested, still it was $2 mil lion more than proposed by my Democratic colleagues. (And there is the added benefit of $100,000 appropriated in plan ning funds for the Dixie Pro ject.) Utah's senior citizens like those across the country will benefit from the raise in the social security benefits, and several Utah Community Ac tion Programs were given a new lease on life when Presi dent Nixon signed into law a bill which authorizes funds to extend programs under the Ec onomic Opportunity Act. Possibly the biggest Utah story of 1969 was the rescue of "Buck Jones" from a lead-zinc mine in Salt Lake County. He survived after eight days in the dark depths of the earth. The President signed into law the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act a measure which received receiv-ed much debate and publicity from both Houses of Congress and is a strongly worded piece of legislation to help all the nation's mines come under better safety standards. Two bills designed to help our young people are th revisions revis-ions of the draft laws, and the authorizing of funds to continue me resident's Council on Youth Opportunity. The draft bill is one of the important ones passed during the first session, for it provides the means whereby our youth will be able to determine their futures fu-tures without being held in suspension sus-pension until the age 26. While no draft law can be perfect and give everyone the same "breaks," still this bill is one way to correct many of the inadequacies in-adequacies of the old draft laws. We also had legislation signed sign-ed into law providing for a non-proliferation non-proliferation treaty, food stamp authorizations, military procurement, pro-curement, and, while not pleasing pleas-ing everyone, the tax revision was a major step in the right direction a step needed to be taken for the last 35 years! The first session of the 91st Congress was not a "foot dragging" drag-ging" or a "do nothing" Congress Con-gress as some would suggest. There were many measures pas sed. The House itself had thousands thou-sands of bills introduced during 1969, and sent over one hundred hun-dred bills originiating in the House to the other body for consideration. At the same time, howevei, I must confess that with a Republican Administration Admin-istration in the White House and Democratic-controlled Con gress, there is bound to be some time wasted before the two branches can get together. I hope there won't be too much time wasted during the second session. But what about the second session? What will the 1970 Congress accomplish? In my opinion, this can be the most productive ever assembled "on the Hill". President Nixon has proposed legislation in several different areas, legislation which could be beginning to a cure for the ills of our coun try. Take our environment, for instance. This year could see a beginning to the end of the air and water pollution. I have pro posed legislation in this area already. My bills will go with others to a committee for de bate and hearings. What comes out of the committee could be a new "breath" for us all. The President believes a "war on pollution" is one of the num ber one items for the new year and I back him fully. Anyone who has traveled over the Wa satch Front knows we have a definite pollution problem. (As a matter of fact, a recent visit to constituents in Utah's Four Corner's Area showed me air pollution e x i s ts everywhere. There apparently is a factory jutting smoke into an area of Utah where blue skies used to be the norm!) One of the hottest issues to come before the second session will be appropriations for edu cation. The President has threatened to veto the Labor- HEW bill because it contains $1.2 billion more than what the President thinks is necessary. While I voted for the educa tion money In the House and as a former Weber State history professor and sympa thizer with the needs of educa tion I can also see Mr. Nix on's views on halting inflation and cutting where he sees fit. It will be a real battle on the outcome. During the first session I also r voted for a 10-year airport and airway development measure which passed the House. I also support air service to our rural areas and this is a subject I will pursue in 1970. Crime in America has to be stopped! President Nixon has submitted p. "crime package" to Congress which should be enacted. en-acted. Once again we have to face realities. A Democratic-controlled Democratic-controlled Congress does not give a Republican President everything ev-erything he asks but in the subject of controlling crime, there must be a meeting of the. minds on both sidea of the aisle and quickly! I hope to see major legislation enacted to stamp out pornography, drug abuse, and to help with ball reform, re-form, to mention just a few of the bills I have personally taken tak-en an active role in. And there is the subject of Vietnam. This appears to be an administration problem rather than a Congressional problem. In my talks with the President, he has told me about some of the administration's plans on Vietnam,, and I simply believe there will be an end to this horrible hor-rible war hopefully during the second session. No one wants peace more than the President, and I think every member of Congress no matter mat-ter what his political views are will back a just, honorable peace in Vietnam. Once again, may I say I think the first session had its accomplishments, and its disappointments. dis-appointments. I only hope that the rumors I've heard of "blocking" the Administration's programs are only that rumors. ru-mors. I would hope that partisan par-tisan politics will take to the campaign trail next November and that we can truly have the most productive Congress ever assembled.

Education, like any other organization or-ganization if it is to continue its operation, must change to meet the needs of the people it serves. In order to do this it must periodically purchase new equipment, up-to-date textbooks text-books and materials, remodel buildings, and change some of the procedures of teaching and administering the school program. pro-gram. Much criticism is leveled at education which often implies im-plies that education is years behind business and private industry in-dustry in their management and organizational techniques. The current traditional type school schedule is actually a modular schedule with 7 or 8 periods (modules of time) per day, of which students must schedule 6 or 7 periods. In the new modular schedule being adopted for next year, the school day will be divided into in-to smaller units of time, perhaps per-haps 15 minutes in length. Classes will be held for periods of time which are multiples of 15 minutes. That is, one type of class might be held only 15 minutes, another 30 minutes, another 45 minutes, while others oth-ers might be 60, 75 or 90 minutes min-utes in length. It has long been recognized that the common period of 45 FLOOR COVERINGS Rugs, carpet, linoleum & tile, expert installation.

Hugo Grotius Give me liberty to knpw, to utter, and to argue freely according ac-cording to conscience. John Milton H jV. to 55 minutes is arbitrary and does not meet the requirements for many of the courses taught in our schools. For example, most chorus teachers agree that a 30 minute period is sufficient suf-ficient for chorus work. Any time beyond that results in possible pos-sible discipline probelms. In many of the science and vocational voca-tional education areas, lab periods per-iods are required which should extend beyond the traditional 45 or 55 minute period. The modular schedule should solve many of these problems. Modular scheduling is not a change in the curriculum. It is a change in the method of scheduling classes which will provide flexibility to allow teachers to improve their programs. pro-grams. A modular schedule would require more work for administrators and teachers. It will be most exciting and stimulating stim-ulating for teachers and students stu-dents and it will provide more variety of classes. Students will still spend approximately ap-proximately the same amount of time in class instruction as in the traditional schedule, but they will have some free time during the school day. It is also known from analyzing other schools using the modular schedule that some students must be scheduled similar to what we now schedule them. This can and should be done. On the other hand it is also known that there are students who could progress much faster if they were permitted to as- :?:: Directory LUMBER Coal -lumber ' ' -' ' '!:' f;. l ,"c I I Castle Gate Dustproof Coal Bennett's Paint Builders' Supplies Known for Dependability Kolob Lumber 489-5614 33 West 200 South, Springville Utah Service 400 South and Main 489-5686 Coal-Hardware-Lumber Industrial Supplies Tires-Gas-Oil-Stove Oil FREE DELIVERY Prompt Courteous Service MONUMENTS Complete resident shop, low overhead creates high value Memorial Art, Richard Johnson, John-son, 190 N.

Attendance Atten-dance must still be accounted for and unexcused absences will be handled in the same manner. Students who are not doing well in our current system may not do any better in the modular modu-lar system but they will have more opportunities. Remember, a modular schedule does not change the educational program it provides flexibility so that change may take place. Spanish Fork High School will remain on the traditional scheduling pattern, at least for the coming year, and will provide pro-vide a good comparison to enable en-able us to evaluate the different differ-ent systems in comparable size schools. It is my sincere belief be-lief that modular scheduling will provide at least as good a program as the current traditional tra-ditional schedule and it provides pro-vides the opportunity for a superior su-perior school program. I hope that parents and citizens, rather rath-er than criticize the modular schedule, will study the program pro-gram by asking questions, attending at-tending meetings, etc. ' School officials are available at , any time to discuss modular scheduling sched-uling with groups or indivduals.
