Discussions on Community School Idea Dissatisfaction Expressed By Parents On Qualifications for Student Officers There are many dissatisfied parents par-ents in the area. The dissatisfaction dissatisfac-tion stems from what is believed to be discrimination practiced by the administrator and teachers of Delta Junior High in student elections. elec-tions. There is also dissatisfaction on elections at Delta High but this seems to be less widespread. In the wake of the recent junior high elections a group of parents met with the administrator and faculty members. One of the parents reported that the Constitution governing student-body student-body elections had been re-written by the faculty and voted on by the studentbody only one day prior to the primaries. This did not allow full discussion on the changes by those most affected, the students, the parents felt. This parent felt that re-writing the Constitution was a step in the right direction as that part re-written discards grade point average as a qualification for studentbody office candidates. This parent felt, however, prior selection of the candidates by faculty fa-culty members on citizenship was arbitrary and undemocratic. In that parent's opinion citizenship is an illusive term. According to parents one of the potential candidates was denied the opportunity to run under the re-written Constitution because of his citizenship. They were told, they say, that the student in question "pushes and shoves" in the line of students waiting to enter the lunch I center. j Another parent reported thatj one of the faculty members had j said at the meeting that they (teachers) hod been embarrassed . in the past by some of the students elected to offices. Specific embar-; rassments were not named, appar-' ently. Prin. Jack Fowels, DHS,says that he receives comments and complaints com-plaints from parents following each election. He said Wednesday that the high school Constitution is being re-written by the student- ' body officers. This will then be submitted to the whole student-body student-body for ratification before adopted adopt-ed as policy. It is hoped by many , parents that the DHS studentbody officers will discard the grade-point ' tverage qualification. Many parents will be meeting with the Millard Board of Education Educa-tion at its next meeting, Wednes , day, May 20, 10:00 a.m. on the matter. Many Delta business, community commun-ity and church leaders met for a luncheon meeting Wednesday at Delta High School to hear panel discussions on the Community School concept that is now underway under-way in the area. Discussion on different phases of the Community School concept were presented by Dr. Joe Nielson, Dr. Avard Rigby, Utah State School Board; Ike Moore, Utah State Council of Aging; Verl Dixon, Mayor of Provo; LeRue Thurston, j Area Director oi tne utan employment employ-ment Security and Dr. Burton 01-sen, 01-sen, BYU, Regional Director of the Mott Foundation, founders of the Comunity School concept. An exchange of ideas between the panelists and the audience occurred oc-curred after the discussion. Dr.Nielson, a graduate of Delta High said that he had found in his travels across the country that he invariably met people originally origin-ally from the west Millard area. "These are all top notch people in leadership positions," he said. "I don's know how it's done but Delta High keeps turning out good quality citizens." In charge of the Community School at Delta has been Mike Rose. Mr. Rose will be leaving this district for a position at Richfield. He will be replaced at Delta by Lynn McArthur. Part of Mr. McArthurs' duties will be to correlate programs of the community, adult education, recreation, etc. and to initiate new programs as problems or needs are realized. Entertainment was provided by Duane Callister who sang and accompanied ac-companied himself on the guitar. Places Fifth in Motorcycle Races Garth Lake, 18, took fifth place in the motorcycle races at Cherry Creek Sunday in a field of forty contestants. Garth was first in the first lap but in the second lap his cycle developed a gas tank leak causing him to lose about ten minutes for refueling. An exciting incident in the third lap found Garth running over another rider's cycle. The rider had managed to "roll" out of the way in time to avoid being hit. Apparently the fourth and last lap went pretty smoothly for Garth. This was his first time to attempt racing in the races. He is tentatively tenta-tively planning to race in the upcoming up-coming national meet at Cherry Creek, Sunday, May 17, 10:00 a.m. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Lake, Delta, he is a senior this year at Delta High School.

And serious weevil infestations are expected. So even though you've got a lot of jobs to do, don't overlook over-look your alfalfa. Don't let weevils slip in undetected and ruin it. It will pay you to check your fields carefully. Go out often and look for signs of larvae feeding. When you find three to five out of ten plants that show weevil damage, dam-age, get in there fast with a spray of Alfa-tox insecticide. Why Alfa-tox? Because it was designed for the job. We combined com-bined Diazinon and methoxychlor to provide effective killing power that lasts 2 to 3 weeks from a single sin-gle spray. To give you more days of control for your insecticide dollar. The combination controls a wide range of damaging insects in addition to weevil larvae. Yet it leaves no residue problems in meat or milk. You can cut or graze in just 7 days after spraying Alfa-tox. And Alfa-tox is easy to handle and use. No special safety clothing or devices are required. Just follow the label. You'll get consistent, dependable de-pendable control and a hay crop that will be worth it.
