Ehvood Freeman was the loser of thirteen golf clubs, a golf bag, a pair of golf slacks, a pair of shoes, and 12, golf bails. .

When he returned, re-turned, hls oar had been forced open and the above mentioned equipment was missing. Officers are investigating. OSS tffl" It is to be sincerely hoped that when this issue of the Review is distributed the salary controversy contro-versy between the Alpine District Board of Education and the teachers tea-chers will be ell Ironed out Differences Dif-ferences of opinion may cause good horse races;. but they can. raise hob with a harmonious and efficient educational program. This writer was an interested spectator and listener at last Friday Fri-day night's teachers meeting. After Af-ter the expenditure of considerable consider-able oratory pro and con, but mostly con, the teachers turned down the School Board's salary proposal by a vote of more than two to one. From what I could glean as an outsider, the teachers were convinced con-vinced that the Board was spend- -Ing too much on "things" and too- little on "people." As the budget stands now, the Board expects ex-pects to spend 70 per cent for teachers salaries and 30 per cent for other things. The things are . heat light water, books, pencils, . . paper, Janitor supples, fire insur-ance, insur-ance, transportation, interest on debt, maintenance of buildings, and grounds, etc etc etc These figures should be changed chang-ed to 74 . per cent for. instructional instruc-tional salaries and 26 per cent for other expenditures, the teacher tea-cher leaders reasoned. In this way (Hue Board could divert around $135,000 into the instructional instruc-tional .bWget, they affirmed. Thus the teachers could receive the pay boost . sought - and , everything would be just fine. Well, at least that's something to think about School Board members are just people, like everyone else. Perhaps as such, they have been following the modem trend in becoming more concerned with the material than the social. , It's funny how a few printed ml I1JASANT CROVI, UTAHrTHURSDAYrAUGUST 30, 1962 meeting of the teachers, press and public, held in Pleasant Grove High School. President Ehvood Hunt of the Alpine Teachers Association presided pre-sided and spoke at length reviewing review-ing both sides of the controversy. Approximately 400 teachers were present together with a sprinkling sprink-ling of school patrons. Superintendent Dan W. Peterson Peter-son of Alpine District and Moroni Mor-oni Jensen, President of the Utah Educational Association, sat on the stage. Neither spoke at length but each answered a few questions. ques-tions. After Mr. Hunts formal presentation, presen-tation, Herbert Stratton, chairman chair-man of the AEA Salary Committee Commit-tee spoke briefly. The meeting was then opened for statements and questions from the floor. Following the open forum the teachers met in faculty groups for 20 minutes further discussion. After the faculty meetings the teachers returned to the auditorium, audi-torium, listened to a few more speeches from the floor and then voted by secret ballot. The vote was 111 "For" and 259 "Against" the Board's salary proposal. Briefly what the Board offered wasr A 1100 Increase for all teachers who were receiving 15,000 per year or less and a 2 per ceni nuns ror uiuae rottuvui more than $5,000. Beginning salaries sal-aries were set at $3,900 and the maximum at $6,375 after 12 years experience in the district Holders 1 of Masters degrees to receive $200 above the scale for Bachel--or degree holders. Fringe benefits consisted of $160 per year per teacher paid up Insurance and unlimited sick leave with pay for . teachers with "tenure." Non-tenure . teachers were to have 5 days per year paid sick leave cumulative to 20 days.t When contacted following Fri- day night's overwhelming nega tive vote, Superintendent Dan Peterson said that he had "no comment" other than that he would report the results of the meeting to the School Board. . President Moroni Jensen said that the UEA would "stand by the Alpine District teachers in any activity they saw fit to take." -f &-t j lines on the inside of the newspaper news-paper often give; the key to our troubles better than the front page headUnea M Sunday's Tribune, Supt. Elmer Hartvigson of Granite District Dis-trict said that during the past year they had provided almost 200 new classrooms at a cost of more than six million dollars. That's $30,000 per -classroom. Quite a price to pay Just for a room for a teacher and some 25 children. Now Granite District is short of teachers because the beginning salary of $4,000' will not attract the teachers it needs. Of late years the "Wasatch Front" school districts have floated float-ed bond issue after bond issue " to provide room for their zooming zoom-ing school population. All this has added to the burdens of the property taxpayers, until now the "saturation point" has almost been reached. Forty-acre campuses," spacious landscaping; large blacktop parking park-ing areas for students who could walk or ride the bus! plush-seated auditoriums; huge gymnasiums , built to accomodate the basketball fans as much as the physical education ed-ucation program; glass-walled classrooms with the glass covered with expensive drapes, all these cost huge sums of money. However, How-ever, after alL they are Just "things," not "people." It hasn't , been a matter of keeping up with the "Joneses," but the "Archies" the architects, that is. We have been constructing construct-ing the type of buildings that the architects thought we should have, rather than the kind we needed and could afford to build. It's wonderful to have a "taste for champagne," but It's convenient conven-ient to have more than a "beer price" in our pockets to pay for It. So long 'til Thursday.

Department De-partment of Labor, the : Utah State Industrial Cxsnmisslon, and the Extension Division, University Univer-sity of Utah, and will be held Friday and Saturday, Sept 7 and 8, 1962 on the University campus. The conference was prompted by the fact that women make up 30 per cent of the State's working force. According to Dr. Virginia Fro-bes, Fro-bes, University Dean of Women, "Deep seated and continuing: shifts in the structure of American Ameri-can social life have brought radical radi-cal changes into the lives of American Am-erican women. Earlier marriage and a-longer life span may mean that for many women their prime role as mother and homemaker will require less time and energy In their , middle years. Yet, there la need for a continuation contin-uation of the sense of purpose and satisfaction which the responsibility responsibil-ity and care of a family provide. Today's women are seeking more significant ways to use time and energy for their own personal growth, their family's development develop-ment and the community's well-being." well-being."

The blame for existing exist-ing conditions is difficult to pinpoint. pin-point. The problem is not necessarily neces-sarily a local or a one-district affair, af-fair, but is statewide In nature. Teacher turnover is the real issue. Teacher turnover in the nation na-tion Is 8.5 per cent Utah's average aver-age Is 18.58 per cent Alpine district dis-trict turnover during the past year has been in excess of the state average. These staaUsttcs point out that the schools of the Alpine district and of Utah are being used as training institutions This briefly states the protest of the Alpine Education Association.
