"When a person tells the government he never got his check, and they send a copy of the cashed check with a signature on it, I tell the person I will need a sample of his handwriting before he can get a new check," said the detective. He then handwriting takes the samples and compares them to copies of the forged signature. "There are habits a person can't get away from because he has been developing them all of his life. Just as you can identify a person walking down the street from a distance because of his particular style of walk you can pick out certain traits in a person's handwriting," he said. "Unless I actually saw the person put the signature on the check, all I can say is that it is highly probable he forged his name on it, if my investigation so indicates," the detective with my said. "However, testimony and other evidence discovered by the investigating police officer, it is very likely the person, if guilty, will be found guilty of forgery." Procedures he follows in his investigation of a possible forgery include putting the questioned check under either infrared or ultraviolet light and to discover a microscope variations in the real and forged signatures. Detective Smith said he is amazed at the number of people who think they have thought up a new way of obtained work signed statements to suffice as lab work, Mr. James reported. said Mr. Their degree, James, was a condition of acceptance for their jobs. A seventh graduate took his job only a day or so after graduation, he noted. The graduates and their current status are: Vern Rawcliffe of Provo, Tony Hain of Ogden, and Lynn Goldman of Idaho Falls, all employed with the Lawrence Livermore Labs of Livermore, Calif.; Rex Shelton of American Fork and Mike Butler of San Francisco, both working for ISS (Information Storage System) in Santa Clara, Calf.; Alan Simper, Brigham City, Powers Regulator Co., Salt Lake City.

Such a techniqued produces a good result, he said, if the forger then takes a felt tip pen and goes over the tracing, but it does take practice.

"For the size of the state, there is more musical activity here than in any other state I know of. Comparatively, there are more string players in Cache Valley than anywhere in the nation," he said. Dalby sees the role of the university in music education as being multifold. "The main emphasis in the last several years has been to train teachers for private teaching and public school service. We also serve the university - community by providing performing groups, teaching introductory and music fundamentals courses as well as providing professional training for performers," he said. Job Opportunities in Music Teaching The greatest job opportunities for music majors, Dalby believes, are in the area of teaching. "The job market did not show any signs of tightening up until the last two or three years. Now, administrations are in the position to pick - and - choose teachers. I believe this will increase the level of competency of teachers in general," he said. "Administrators kep talking about cutting back music programs due to budget restraints, but, so far, I have not seen any serious evidence of this happening, at least, in our locality." Employment prospects for those wishing to be professional performers are not quite so bright. "Performing opportunities, especially for those in the wind sections and those who wish to stay in this area of the country, are limited. Since 1947, for example, I have known of only four openings in primary positions in the woodwind section of the Utah Symphony."

He is coming from a better high school music program," he explained. "He is more questioning. Students are no longer wide-eye- d and innocent culturally. This makes the teacher more aware of his responsibility to keep up with what is going on in the world," he continued. Elementary School Level Down "The most serious problem today is to raise the competency of music teachers at the elementary school level. The classroom concept, where one teacher teaches all, has lowered the quality of elementary music education," Dalby feels. "This is the third year we have had a specialist in music education in the office of the State Superintendent af Public Instruction. This should improve things. The ST.

Max Dalby, professor of music at Utah State University, believes this is true. "More and more students are electing various music courses in their college program. This is a healthy sign. It indicates that the interest in music is being developed at a lower level or earlier age," Dalby said. "1 think we have k music to thank of this. Some of it is just dynamic and melodic contrast, and is too monotonous to be interesting. But, most of it is more sophisticated in harmonic and rhythmic construction today than ever before," he explained. 40 Years Music Leadership Honored Honored for more than 40 years of outstanding leadership as a music educator in Utah and the nation, Dalby was awarded Utah's Outstanding Music Educator Award by the Utah Music Educator's Association last October. Dalby doesn't attribute increased interest in music solely to pop music. He also believes improved high school music programs do much to increase musical awareness and understanding. Utah-P- ft |
