For example, at age 15 or 16, one of the most important events in life might be a date with a certain boy. But by age 30. you probably couldn't even remember his name unless you subsequently developed a continuing relationship." Beginning in early 1972, "Our Is it ditficult to remember your wife's birthday, but easy to recall a golf store from two years ago when you finally beat your toughest partner? If so. you're not unusual. "We seem more likely to remember pleasant events in which we play a central role." claims Dr. Marigold Linton, a University of Utah psychologist who has spent most ol the last seven years trying to determine how memory works under real life I'onditions Linton began research on long memory her term by painsrecording at takingly least two noteworthy events each day on individual note cards. "I became both researcher and guinea pig," she explains, "because I was the only logical subject. Who else would be willing or able to spend the time and effort on the project over a period of years?" Once a month, Linton, the researcher, selected a group of cards at random from the grow ing supply and tested Linton, the subject, to see if she remembered an event and could place it in correct time sequence United Way Evaluation Begins Raising funds is only part of the United Way story. It's also charged with the very real responsibility of carefully spending that money. United Way doesn't just give funds to good causes. It does, however, allocate monies to agencies based on community need, agency resources, and quality of operation. The complete process of program evaluation and fiscal review is performed by the United Way Allocations Committee, composed of thirty-twvolunteers. This year's chairman is Jim Pinegar. a vice president with United Way and employee of Geneva o Works USS. The allocation committee, meeting on April 17, will be divided into four panels of eight volunteers each. Clyde Biar, director of general services and housing for BYU and a member of the Lehi Stake presidency, has been asked to serve as chairman of one of these panels. He is a member of the board of directors of United Way and has served on the allocation committee for two years. Calvin Swenson, manager of the State Hank of Lehi, will also serve on the allocations committee. He has served on this committee last year and on the board of directors for two years.

Her planned five-yestudy actually extended to six years, and raised ar as almost many questions as it answered. "I found that by the end of the six years, I had forgotten over 30 percent of the items recorded and tested from the first year, but in many cases, couldn't determine why Questions also persist about what 'forgetting' really means. "Although I may have forgotten the details of a particular event, some residue of that event may continue to exist in my memory bank of In fact, with more specific cues, I might even remember the 'forgotten' event," Linton explains. In one effort to shed more light on these and related questions, Linton and an associate, Dr. David Dodd, recently arranged a series of interviews with a group of 20 children and young adults. "We hope to find out how children begin to put events together and knowledge.

Although the data from these interviews is still under study, preliminary information indicates that children as young as 21 months are able to reconstruct events from memory if they are given appropriate cues. "For example, a young child may have been taken for a ride by an older cousin several weeks ago. The word 'car' or showing the youngster a toy car is to trigger the likely cousin's name." In addition to the interviews with children, Linton will continue her personal research study with some modifications. This time, she plans to record a series of cues on the back of each event card that can be used to trigger her memory as necessary. "For each of the common cue questions such as who, what and where, I'll record several cues from general to specific so I have a better method of determining what information is Betsy Dastrup, James Thompson. how little we know about memory," Linton con 1 $10 .50 5 jI m $12.00 3 I r I tiwsisft ,V' I Lt I ! fri i IkHk-frs- I 1 I bb l plW ff' jv !L Vrw j j can do the job for you.

In order to be eligible for evaluation an agency must submit an audit, a seven page financial analysis, and a written program analysis, stating past goals and achievements as well as projections of next year's objectives. Each agency personally meets with the panel members to answer questions. Later in the year the panel visits the agencies facilities. In January of 1980 the agency and panel members come together again for the final review. The system is designed to provide local citizens with the opportunity to determine which programs and services they feel are important and needed within their community and to annually evaluate those services. Agencies going through this process for 1980 are: American Red Cross, Alpine House, Eoy Scouts, Family Counseling Center, Help, Inc., Mental Health Association, Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Utah County Crisis Line, Utah Valley Care and Training, Visually Handicapped Education Hour, Diabetes Association, Boy's Club, and R.S.V.P., Big Brothers-SisterGirl Scouts.
