Show Page Two - The Springville Herald EDITORIAL Young people act like they dress It was most interesting to read the Springville Jr. High School Dress Code in last week's newspaper and then to watch students walking home during the week. Perhaps students and parents need to take a closer look at what the teens are wearing and whether or not their clothes meet the dress code of the school. According to the Jr. High Student Handbook it says: Whenever students are on the Springville Junior High School campus or at any school sponsored activity, they will: Wear shorts and skirts that REACH THE KNEE. Wear MODEST shirts that have SLEEVES and COVER THE MIDRIFF (NO see through tops). Only wear earrings IN THE EARS. Take off hats when entering the building. CANNOT wear clothing with inappropriate language or pictures, or clothing advertising any substance they cannot legally possess or use. CANNOT wear anything signifying gang membership. CANNOT color their hair unnatural colors such as pink, green, blue or any color deemed inappropriate by the administration. administra-tion. In the Student Dress and Grooming Standards at Springville High School it says that because certain fads and extremes of dress and hair styling tend to attract improper attention to the individual and sometimes interfere with the normal educational process, all students are expected to conform to the standards of dress and grooming outlined below when participating in any school activity. It says that the only exceptions will be for certain special days of activities which are declared exempt by the school principal. Hair shall be neat, clean and well-groomed. The coloring of hair with unnatural looking colors TO INCLUDE costume spray will not be tolerated. Boys will be expected to be CLEAN SHAVEN, SHAV-EN, althouuh a well trimmed mustache may be worn. Clothing shall be MODEST, NEAT, CLEAN, and in GOOD REPAIR and shall include SHOES. Clothing andor jewelry shall not be worn which displays OBSCENE OR SUGGESTIVE WORDS OR PICTURES OR WHICH ADVERTISES ANY SUBSTANCE A STUDENT CANNOT LEGALLY POSSESS OR USE. Jewelry shall NOT be worn in ANY PIERCED BODY PARTS other than the ears. Modesty shall include covering shoulders (MUST HAVE A SLEEVE), MIDRIFF AND BACK. SHORT SHORTS, TANK TOPS. HALTER OR CROP TOPS, EXTREMELY SHORT SKIRTS OR DRESSES do NOT meet modesty standards in our schools. f WEARING OF BANDANNAS, CHAINS, OR ANY ARTICLE OF CLOTHING OR JEWELRY that may be associated with gangs or bearing any gang symbols, names, initials, insignia or anything else which signals gang affiliation andor is worn for the purpose of signifying gang membership, IS NOT ALLOWED. HATS AND CAPS shall NOT be worn during regular hours. If a student's dress or grooming interferes with the normal education process, he or she will be asked to change whatever is in question. The school administration will be ultimately responsible for administration of the policy. The guidelines also say that there is a strong feeling from parent and administrative groups that a "no shorts" policy should be adopted. The committee recommended that students have the opportunity to show they can wear shorts without abuse. The committee also recommends that the building principal work with the student leaders to establish school expectations and guidelines. The committee recommends that at any time difficulties warrant, a "no shorts" policy may be implemented at the individual school level. Tuesday morning on KSL Radio, interviews with several high school age males were aired. Those young men said that they "HATED" the "Brittney Spears look." They said it made the girls look "CHEAP!" Parents, help your young people be the best they can be by dressing modestly and following the school dress code. Kids act like dress. Mapleton Police report Mapleton Police had 49 calls last week, 12 for animals. Police issued three misdemeanor citations cita-tions to dog owners for having stray dogs. Seven male juveniles were given verbal warnings after a witness reported seeing them throwing apples at street signs. The boys were also required to clean up the apples.

As previously announced, the city seems determined to forge ahead full bore with the development of at least 3,000 new homes. It is hard to imagine how a city faced with the failure of one of it's major water resources, in the midst of the worst drought we have experienced for decades, and already forcing stringent restrictions on water users, can even consider approval of one Down with Editor: The September II terrorist attacks on New York, Pennsylvania Pennsylva-nia and Washington, D.C. anniversary anni-versary arrives as America is being profoundly changed by a "conniving clique of Insiders cynically exploiting our national tragedy in order to push through a power grab to advance its agenda for total power," wrote G. Vance Smith, the CEO of The John Birth Society. He went on to say, "The proposed Homeland Security Department is not just a response to the 9-11 attacks. Of more importance, it follows the blueprint of power-hungry elitists who presented their plan to President Presi-dent Bush prior to September 11." Indeed the plan for the Department De-partment of Homeland Security was conceived long before 9-11. It was a plan awaiting an excuse to justify it's implementation.

Mayor Boyer recently made the statement that the new homes must be approved. He also said that restrictions on developments could only be made for six months. It would seem that if our governing laws are so worded that development cannot be controlled con-trolled to meet the current available avail-able water (and electricity) supplies, sup-plies, the laws certainly need revamping. re-vamping. Until this could be accomplished, even a six-month moratorium on new development would be helpful.

Jackie Billings current needs, and must purchase extra power elsewhere as well as forcing water restrictions because of dwindling resources, and yet is willing to give approval to further fur-ther depleting those same utilities by constantly giving approval to new development. New development is certainly welcome and necessary, but common sense should tell us that is should not come at the price of overwhelming the existing water and electrical resources available. Certainly, no more development should occur until the utilities can be furnished for them without penalizing the current city occupants. occu-pants.
