"Here in the United States we have been curiously slow to recognize the essential connection between education and economic growth." David P. Gardner, president of the University of California, told the Governor's Conference on Economic Development and Education Friday. "As a nation we have devoted insufficient time, money and attention to our schools.'' The former University of Utah president declared that "no country can hope to maintain its economic competitiveness, and thus, its social equilibrium ad political stability in today's world without access both to new knowledge and to a continuing supply of people.'' He pointed out that new technology has been responsible for nearly half of all productivity increases in the U.S. since World War II. research has "University-base- d created whole new industries and revolutionized old ones. Technological innovation is an increasingly powerful engine driving business and industry." He emphasized that U.S. trade and productivity figures are, at present "very unhealthy," and our imbalance of trade is "overwhel-imingl- y and unprecedentedly negative." While noting that education and research alone cannot make our economic problems disappear, he declared that "in this age our economic problems will not get better without improved education and new ideas.

Since then, he reported, the tide to be turning for the nation's schools. Many states and local jurisdictions have acted to improve our schools. He warned that those states that do not improve their educational systems at all levels will find themselves at a significant competitive disadvantage 10 to 15 years down the road, probably even sooner. When Gardner took his position as head of the California university system in 1983, he said the California schools on all levels were suffering from eroding public and financial support, and people were using the word "crisis" to describe the deteriorated facilities, non- - declared, noting that California recognized that the health of edu- seems circumstances as hostile and cation is vital to the health of the economy. "Utah has the same compelling reasons to invest in its education system," he said, "but merely asserting that Utah is less fiscally than California is no answer at all; it is merely an observation." Pointing to Utah's current workforce, its quality of life, and its reputation for excellence in the arts, he said the governor an many dedicated public officials understand that strong education and strong economy go "The University of Utah re threatening as did those facing the early pioneers." He said he is confident that today's Utahns have the same ability to fulfill their potential as those who founded the state, and that they will "honor their past by working towards a future for their children that will be as exciting, as rich in opportunity, and as bright with promise as that vision of a better word that brought the early founders of Utah through so many difficulties and so much travail."

Mrs. Judd said facilities, personnel, budget, equipment, and materials can be shared by agencies to provide a better educational system and save tax dollars. same city is moving its library and building a new one. Because of financial disagreements and turf isses, they are building separate libraries. The city's population is only 12,000 and public tax dollars are building both structures. Senior citizens who still pay taxes have been denied access to the use of school facilities. The Consortium believes we are not absorbing the lessons these examples teach us. With financial support from the Utah Community Education Foundation, and staff from the Utah State Office of Education, a Lifelong Learning Consortium is these very issues. During the past four years, this group of citizens has been able to get the attention of the governor and the interest of political leadership to place for a few years small resource centers serving their populations but have not been recognized by the Private Industry Councils or the Legislature as job training resource centers. Instead, a new system has been put in place under th Job Training Partnership Act iJTrA) even though schools can do training and retraining more cost efficiently than JTPA. in i' .lrt-frr- I .

The Life Long Learning Consortium, made up of individuals statewide in the fields of higher education, public education, health, and community services, believes it is necessary now for agencies to collaborate and coordinate to share in the utilization of resources, and subsequently, tax dollars. Gayle Judd. Pleasant Grove, a member of the consortium, says the time for division is past; it is time to combine forces. Betty Bowne. educator and member of the consortium, said, "We can do that under the great need in our communities for Lifelong Learning. There is so much rapid change that even those of us who are involved in education cannot keep up. With the great need in our communities for lifelong learning, we must collaborate and we must not duplicate services." "Every ounce of energy and capital we have must be used to accomplish our Livelong Learning goals." she said. plan meeting Tuesday night USX Wives Together will meet Tuesday (Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Mountain View High School band room, 400 W.

In 1983 Gardner chaired the National Commission on Excellence in Education which examined the search park with its 45 companyes, employees and $100 million annual payroll is a splendid example of how higher education, the private sector, and state and local government can work together for the good of all." He said Utah's present economic problems are hurting businesses and individuals directly and are also damaging Utah's image, as the state s school population grows without corresponding increases in fiscal support. He indicated that asking if we can afford to pay more for education is the wrong question. "The right question is: what will it mean to Utah, its economy, its children and its way of life if the present trends persist undisturbed, if the schools and colleges and universities of this state do not receive the support they need to carry out their vital responsibilities?" He called on the elected officials to find solutions and the courage to act on them. "Utah was born of such courage." Three years after entering this valley, the pioneers founded the University of Deseret. "It was an act of faith. It was an expression of confidence in the future.

Sheeran said the man asked the youngsters, who attend Provost Elementary at 629 S. 1000 E. and Maeser Elementary at 500 E. 150 S., if they wanted a ride to school. Several children have reported similar incidents in the past couple of weeks. Sheeran said the two children told officers the man was driving a green Volkswagen bug with a brown stripe. He urged parents to instruct their children to try to get a license number if they see the car and driver in their neighborhoods. He further asked anyone observing such a vehicle around schools to immediately call the Provo Police Department.
