Show Orem-Geneva Times- -WednesHay July 1, 1987 BYU, area educators discuss; unique partnership idea BYU Symposium focuses on Mark Hofmann fraud Educators from Brigham Young Uniyersity and several public school districts (including Alpine) are excited ex-cited about a unique partnership idea that moves beyond the traditional methods of preparing school administrators ad-ministrators for their jobs. Working in a cooperative venture, ven-ture, BYU's Department of Educational Educa-tional Leadership and five Utah school districts (Alpine, Provo, Nebo, Jordan and Wasatch) have identified mutual needs and developed a partnership part-nership plan to meet them. Titled the BYU-Public School Partnership Program, the concept formally establishes a working relationship rela-tionship between university educators educat-ors and the public schools where they place their graduates. Now in its third year, the partnership partner-ship program recently received a Department of Education matching grant, said F. Del Wasden, chairman of BYU's Department of Educational Leadership. The $140,697 renewable three-year three-year grant will be used to expand and refine the leadership preparation program. One of the most valuable contributions con-tributions of the partnership is its leadership preparation program, said recent graduate Ray Morgan of Provo. tions, as well as such "today" issues as drugs and computers, are all part of the curriculum. "As opposed to being a manager of a school, knowing how to turn the lights on and off and pay the bills, our administrator interns learn how to be real educational leaders," Cox said. "They are actively involved in the curriculum as instructional leaders, experiencing first hand what administering ad-ministering a school is really like." Interns spend their time not only discussing theories, case studies, administrative ad-ministrative principles and policies, but also apply those concepts in a local school classroom. In addition, mentor principals take an active part in the program by serving as adjunct faculty at the university. While administrator preparation is a fundamental thrust of the school partnership program, major emphasis em-phasis also is given to teacher preparation, training in the teaching of gifted and talented students, guidance and counseling, special education, and the establishment of partner schools. "Unraveling the Hofmann Case," "Why Scholars Were Mislead," and "The Impact of Fraudulent Documents" are some of the topics to be discussed Aug. 6 at a Brigham Young University symposium on "Church History and Recent Forgeries." Scholars, legal authorities, historians and others who have observed or been involved in the Mark Hofmann case will examine its impact on scholarship, history, the public, the media and the LDS Church. Dr. Ronald K. Esplin, director of the Joseph Fielding Smith Institute for Church History and coordinator of the symposium, said BYU President Jeffrey R. Holland will moderate the opening discussion at 8:30 a.m. in the Joseph Smith Building auditorium. Except for luncheon and dinner sessions, admission is free and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. The 8:30 a.m. discussion will feature William G. Hartley of the Smith Institute and James B. Allen, chairman of the BYU History Department, Depart-ment, discussing, "History and Faith." At 9:45 a.m., Robert Stott of the Salt Lake County Attorney's Office and George Throckmorton, forensic documents examiner, will talk about "Unraveling the Hofmann Case." Allen Roberts, co-author of a forthcoming for-thcoming book on Hofmann, will discuss, "Answers to the Most Asked Questions About the Hofmann Case," at a 12:30 p.m. luncheon session in BYU's Wilkinson Center. "Why Were Scholars Mislead? What Can We Learn from This?" is the topic of a 2: 15 p.m. session featuring featur-ing Dean C. Jessee of the Smith Institute, In-stitute, Richard Turley of the LDS Church Archives, Richard Howard, historian of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and Max J. Evans of the Utah State Historical Society, State Archives. "What Was the Impact of - Fraudulent Documents? Where Do We Stand Today?" will be discussed at 4 p.m. by Richard L. Anderson of BYU Religious Education, Marvin S. Hill of the BYU History Department and Ronald W. Walker and Leonard J. Arrington of the Smith Institute. Dinner speaker is Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the LDS Church. His address ad-dress will be at 6 p.m. in the Wilkinson Wilkin-son Center ballroom. At 7:45 p.m. history professors Richard Bushman of the University of Delaware and Jan Shipps of Indiana In-diana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis will discuss, "Documents, Historians and Joseph Smith: Summaries and Conclusions." Reservations for the luncheon and dinner sessions must be made by July 31 by contacting Marilyn Parks, Smith Institute, BYU, Provo, Utah 84602; phone (801) 378-7319. Cost is $6.50 and $7.75 respectively. The symposium is sponsored by the Smith Institute, the BYU Religious Studies Center and the BYU History Department. "West Coast Drawing" exhibition at BYU "West Coast Drawing," an exhibition ex-hibition featuring work by 29 artists from Oregon, Washington, Hawaii and California, will be on display July Ju-ly 1 to Aug. 14 at the B.F. Larsen Gallery at Brigham Young University. Also included in the gallery will be work by BYU MFA graduates Doug Himes and Joseph Germaine. The art can be seen daily from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. and admission is free. The art of drawing often has been described as the most spontaneous form of creative visual expression. A major fine art technique in itself, drawing serves as the basis of all pictorial pic-torial representation and as the first step in most painting, sculpture and architecture. Although drawing plays an integral in-tegral role in most painting, the predominant use of line to create form in drawing distinguishes it from painting. The Salem Art Association, wishing to recognize contemporary drawing with an exhibition devoted to current approaches to this oldest of media, sponsored the Pacific Coastline Drawing Competition in 1986. Portland artist Henk Pander, who was trained in portrait drawing in his native Netherlands and who stills favors drawing, juried the show. The works he selected from 250 artists comprise the traveling exhibit. The landscape, figure and architectural architec-tural drawings range in style from the realistic to the abstract and are executed ex-ecuted in a variety of media, including in-cluding acrylic, chalk, conte crayon, oil stick, pastel, prismacolor and watercolor. "West Coast Drawing" is being circulated by Visual Arts Resources of the University of Oregon Museum of Art, with the cooperation of the Salem Art Association. "This program prepares you to be a principal, not by letting you think about how to do it, but by actually having you get out there and do it," said Morgan, a former elementary school teacher. "Rather than talking about case studies, you're dealing with people and em6tions. It's been a very positive experience." Morgan and several of his fellow graduates have already been offered administrative positions in local school districts. "Developing and supporting excellent ex-cellent principals and administrators in our public schools is the emphasis of our program," said Wasden. "If you have excellent teachers and poor administrators, the teachers get discouraged and performance levels drop. We believe it's economical and symbiotic for universities and public schools to become better resources for each other."

"Our theory now is that districts (Jf LAKEVIEW should invest in the people they think will have the greatest leadership potential. We're saying up front that districts should identify these people and support them," explained Wasden. In order to be involved, districts agree to provide a year's professional leave and half-salary for chosen applicants, ap-plicants, while BYU helps with the cost of tuition. Once accepted into the year-long program, the 15 potential administrators ad-ministrators complete an integrated study with seven competency areas. An internship experience, under the guidance of mentor principals from each of the five school districts, also helps prepare the future leaders. Clark Cox, superintendent of the Alpine School District and chair of the partnership, said the program is one of the finest educational tools with which he has been associated.

The line finally will be put into service this week on a trial basis as most all the leaks have been closed off, said Jones. Construction on the 400 East sewer system dropped to a literal :rawl due to problems connected with a 14-foot deep, high pressure gas line, and drilling by hand inside a 3-inch casing to get under the Provo Bench Canal. Jones said this project should move much faster with these difficulties dif-ficulties behind them.
