Canyon View Junior High school is having its annual Magazine Drive. Wednesday, Sept. 27-Oct. 3 are the dates set aside for this great event. 'The purpose of the magazine drive is to earn funds to subsidize what the State gives us," said Darlene Barney, drive coordinator. coor-dinator. "These funds go towards bettering our school and furthering further-ing the student's education." Last year several new computers were purchased with these funds. Forty percent of the purchase price of each magazine goes to CVJHS. An important point in this program is that it discourages door-to-door solicitation. Instead, each student is asked to call on family members and friends to renew or purchase magazine subscriptions. sub-scriptions. A variety of CD's, tapes, and records are available. Students are rewarded for their labors with prizes. Any student stu-dent who sells at least two subscriptions sub-scriptions receives a button. These buttons have numbers on them which are used in drawings for prizes such as radios, T-shirts, and Bart Simpson water bottles. There are also candy raids daily in the classrooms. The top selling students in the school get prizes plus the privilege of smashing pies in the administrators' faces. The teacher with the top selling class gets an ice cream party for their class and a free stay at a Bed and Breakfast in Salt lake City for the teacher and their spouse. As Mrs. Barney, the administrator ad-ministrator in charge of the magazine drive said, 'The Wild Thing is coming."

Russ Bell worked on transforming trans-forming infrared laser light into green light by passing it through an optical fiber coated with a material that had been exposed to a high electric field.
