UTC Aciedii: For Gl E:r.:fi!s The Veterans Administration has accredited Utah Technical College at Provo for use of G I Bill educational benefits on a credit-hour basis, according to Wilson W. Sorensen, Utah Tech president. The school has long been accredited ac-credited by the VA Administration, Administra-tion, but on a clock-hour, not credit-hour basis, said President Sorensen. The new basis of accreditation makes it possible for a veteran to spend much less actual time at the school and still obtain the same credit benefits. Under former for-mer rules, accreditation cn a clock-hour basis compelled a veteran to spend 30 actual clock hours per week at the school to gain his full G I benefits. The new credit-hour accreditation makes it possible for him to pursue pur-sue his studies on a credit-hour credit-hour basis if he takes a course leading to an associate degree. Thus, a student taking a full course of 15 credit hours may, under the new rating, achieve this with perhaps 20 or 22 hours per week actually spent at the school, whereas, previously he had to spend a minimum of 30. G I benefits on a half or three- quarter basis are also allowed under the new accreditation. A veteran may receive half his G I benefits for half a full-time course leading to an associate degree, which would be about eight credit hours per term. Or he may receive three-fourths of his benefits for three-fourths of a full-time course, which would be 10 to 14 credit hours. Veterans attending the Evening School may also receive benefits if they are pursuing a course leading to an associate degree. They would have to take at least half of a full-time course, or about eight credit hours. This is approximately the maximum number of hours that can be taken exclusively in the Evening School. A veteran may take less than eight hours and be reimbursed for incidental expenses 'such as books and tuition; but if he receives re-ceives any living allowance, he must take at least half a course. To qualify for G I benefits at the school, saidPresidentSoren-sen, saidPresidentSoren-sen, courses of study must be toward a vocational goal leading lead-ing to an associate degree. So-called So-called hobby conrses, which would not be used In the students stu-dents vocation after he graduated would not count toward G I benefits. bene-fits. The credit-hour basis for accreditation ac-creditation from the VA Admin istration came as a result of Utah Tech gaining full accreditation accredi-tation from the Northwest Association Assoc-iation of Secondary and Higher Schools, according to President Sorensen. The later accreditation accredita-tion was received last summer, and this is the first year Utau Tech has operated under it. P:f i H ; r k hi - ! : J - - if- r J I I !r. snd I !rs. Bob Schc!:s View with pleasure the assortment they ccn pick from. They are the proud winners of our Diamond Club this week. The claims were thoroughly reviewed and approved. Superintendent Dan W. Peterson Peter-son presented for board information informa-tion a district growth study concerned con-cerned basically with pointing out possible building needs within the relative immediate and more distant dis-tant future. The study was made on a total district basis with each of the four high school community com-munity areas individually considered. con-sidered. Dr. Peterson pointed out that during the two years from Oct. 1, 1967 to Oct. 1, 1969, there was an increase of 392 students within with-in the same grades of the district. dis-trict. This means that including all the "drop-outs" and "move-outs" "move-outs" there were 392 more students in attendance Oct. 1, 1969, than on Oct. 1, 1967. If this pattern proves to t realistic realis-tic and continues, it would mean that tht district is growing at about the rate of a new elementary elemen-tary school every two years. SITES FOR FUTURE NEEDS Because of sharply increasing real estate prices the need of replacing the condemned Junior high buildings at Am. Fork, PL Grove, and Lincoln Junior at Orem, the Board of Education authorized Superintendent Dan W. Peterson to move toward acquiring acquir-ing a site for a junior high building build-ing in the Orem area and a site for a senior high complex that will include the Am. Fork and PI. Grove areas. In the latter situation, the present high schools would replace the existing exis-ting condemned junior high buildings. With the aid of realty representatives, represen-tatives, Superintendent Dan W. Peterson recommended for board approval the following prices for three building lots near the Windsor Wind-sor Elementary School: the smallest lot - corner of Main and 1300 North, $2450; the corner lot- east side of lOOWest and 1300 North, $2750; the larger lot -west s'de of 100 West and 1300 North, 14000. The board of ed-cation ed-cation approved the prices and the parcels were placed for sale with the realty companies on a multiple listing basis. I Wish I'd Said! There seems to be something some-thing in human nature that makes us feel that profit is a poor reason for helping others. But this is a feeling we should resist. To give a man something some-thing because we feel it would be good for him, in effect, establishes es-tablishes a relationship of superior su-perior to inferior. It is difficult to do good without being condescending con-descending and paternalistic on the one hand, and without perpetuating dependence on the other hand. To hire a man because he needs a job rather than the job needs him, for example, is to assure him that he is useless'. Conversely, to help a man because it is in your own interest to help him, to hire him because you need his labor, is to treat him as an equal. In such a relationship, the message comes through loud and clear the employer has confidence in the ability of the man he hires to earn his pay and stand on his own feet.
