Show Nralesidan Students 1,750 Bill to Alpine By KAYLENE NELSEN Herald Staff Writer Any Alpine student not living with his parents or legal guardian must pay $1,750 tuition or not attend school Monday in the Alpine School District. The decision came Tuesday night when the school board voted to deny waivers of the tuition applications by six residents. Five other petitions will be considered at the next regular school board 3-- 2 meeting. The tuition assessment is a result of SB 232, passed by the 1983 general session of the Utah State Legislature. The bill cuts to the districts for students who are not legal residents and requires the district to assess the tuition that is at least equal to the per capita cost of the school program. Alpine set this cost at for waivers. "We must assess a fee, by law, period," says Board president Richard Heaps. "We do not have that alternative." Waiving of the fee is only an option the board can choose to accept, he added. Board member Richard repeatly cautioned the board that each case should be considered individually and "we can't categorically accept or categorically deny" the requests. made a motion that the Sud-wee- Sud-wee- board set up a screening committee to make recommendations on each case. The motion failed to get any support and died. The board considered several other exceptions provided in the law for wards of the state, students, students of military parents and foster children placed through a federal agency. The board also decided that students who can show proof that their parents or guardians are foreign- -exchange moving into the state in the near future, such as a house in escrow or a lease, would also be exempt. Students who can show custodial proceedings are underway wouldn't be affected by the ruling. An Alpine resident took the board to task and offered to pay the tuition of all those petitioning the board. Raymond Bastian found that his nephew would not be affected because his parents are moving into the state in November but he told the board he felt they were shirking their responsibility and offered to take that responsibility himself and pay the tuition of those petitioning Tuesday. The question of legal guardianship also brought up some problems of proving legal residence and guardianship. Heaps asked the superindentent to develop a procedure to put the burden of proof of guardianship on the parents. Another alternative discussed at reim-bursme- nt txtdh $1,750. However, the law gives the school district the options of waiving the tuition in whole or in part. Superintendent Clark Cox said the district would lose $20,000 on the 11 students who have applied 110TH YEAR. NO. 21 PROVO, UTAH, WEDNESDAY.

On Friday, Aug. 12, it was the turn of Violeta Chamorro, widow of Pedro Joaquin Chamorro, the late editor of La Prensa, whose murder under Anastasio Somoza in 1978 ignited the Nicaraguan revolution. Mrs. Chamorro has since become a leading opposition figure to the Marxist-le- d Sandinistas and her son, Pedro, now edits La Prensfa the country's only independent newspaper. On Aug. 12, a mob stoned Mrs. Chamorro's house, breaking windows. Government censors ordered La Prensa not to report the attack and, when it did anyway, publication was suspended for one day. While the Sandinistas have largely succeeded in silencing media critics with such methods La Prensa being the obvious exception they have been far less successful in muzzling the source of opposition they fear most: the church.

Locals May Prolong Phone Strike By WENDY OGATA Herald Staff Writer 11:59 p.m. tonight. Local union and Mountain Bell officials are optimistic the strike by workers will be history come Thursday, but they also acknowledge that complications could sent the strike into over- A tentative agreement on the national level was reached earlier this week, and Communications Workers of America President Glen Watts urged local bargaining units to wrap up negotiations by "We're optimistic that it will be settled tonight but we have no reason to believe it will," said Dan Walker, officer in the Provo-base- d CWA Local 8306. Mountain Bell spokesman Ken Hill said the phone company is also optimistic that workers will be back on the job Thursday but noted that nationwide settlement of the dispute complicates the issue. In what has previously been called a show of unity, Watts has specified that agreement on all local issues nationwide must be reached for the union to end the strike. The union has said one of the major stumbling blocks in local negotiations going on in Denver is Mountain Bell s desire to reclassify cable splicers and cut their pay by 30 percent. Hill said as technical advancements modernize the company, the same skill levels on certain jobs are changed. "Then you have to those jobs and set the wages based on the requirements and skill levels necessary for the job," he said. "It's not the company or employees who will dictate the wages, it's the marketplace." said the past has shown that certain areas, it's cheaper to contract out certain jobs than utilize regular employees on conHill in struction work. "We have to watch the wages of our employees or they price themselves out of the market," he said. Another "major issue" identified by the union is the phone company's desire to implement split shifting of outside plant jobs such as cable repairs, splicing and installation.

One celebrated episode led to open clashes, including at least two deaths last August. Bismark Carballo, chief adviser to the Archbishop of Managua, was beaten, forced to disrobe, and dragged naked from a private home into the street, where Sandinista photographers filmed the monsignor's disgrace for all the world to see. The story put out by the Sandinistas, was that Carballo was in bed with a woman when her irate husband came home. "Funny thing about that," says one official in the U.S. embassy. "No one has been able to locate either that woman or her husband from that day until now." d, of heavy-hande- d Canning Methods Very Different "What was good enough for my grandmother is good enough for me."

Board member Nancy Williamson said it was only logical to believe that a person takes a child, who is not his own, into his home for only good reasons. Daniel K. Adams, principal at Highland Elementary, said the task of identifying those students who are not with their legal guardians or parents would be difficult. He added that many parents may not realize that just because a child lives with them doesn't make those adults the legal guardians.
