Leaders at the time changed an educational system that had provided the best education even for the poorest student to one that tried to provide the same education for everyone, he said. Boyson was disillusioned by the Labor Party at that time because he had been involved in education and knew the leaders were making a mistake. In addition, he had experienced first-han- d the benefits of the old "The system brought me system. through from one of the poorest homes in Britain." The system gave him the opportunity to receive the best education possible despite obstacles. "If they (the leaders) had left the school system alone, I would probably still be a head master" or involved in other areas of expenses, it's legal and it gives them a better idea of living conditions, etc. For details on this ploy, see details in Dick Harmon's column on Page 9 of today's Herald.

Boyson, who delivered a commencement address to graduates at Brigham Young University today, is a member of the British Parliament and minister of state for local government. He spent 18 years as head master (principal) of four of the n secondlargest, most ary schools in Britain. Boyson said Britain had one of the best educational systems in the world until the late 1960s when the Labor Party, without sufficient opposition from the Conservative Party, moved toward an egalitarian system. Before then, he said, 20 percent of the brightest students rich or poor went to the best grammar schools in Britain. "They got the best and toughest education in the world." Then came the influence from America (each of the countries seems to pick up the worst from the other) toward moving to large, neighborhood schools, Boyson said. With those comprehensive schools came all the problems of large schools in big cities in the United States. PROVO, UTAH, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1987 Re- publican legislative leaders have agreed tentatively to a May 20 special session. n The session could take up a issues, including authorization of a 65 mph speed limit on rural interstate highways. The majority leaders met with Gov. Norm Bangerter Wednesday to discuss the special-sessio- n agenda, and the Senate convened briefly to confirm gubernatorial appointments. The major concern for the special session is an amendment to correct an oversight during the regular session in passing a bill revising the state income tax. The bill increases personal ex half-doze- emptions and the standard deduction and eliminates deduction of federal income tax. The bill mistakenly provided for double deduction of state tax payments fiom federal and state returns, which would decrease tax revenue by about $32 million. The special session also will be an opportunity for the Legislature to put into effect the higher speed limit recently allowed by Congress. The 65 mph limit applies only to freeways outside major population centers. Legislative leaders indicated to who sets the agenthe governor da willingness to have the session handle the request by Salt Lake City to permit Delta Air to enter into a long-terlease agreement for airport facilities. State law now limits such agreements to 35 years, which Delta finds overly restrictive for the airline to commit funds for airport expansion. The GOP leaders also indicated willingness to deal with transfers of appropriated funds to cover costs of the Department of Transportation, juvenile court and Department of Social Services' grants providing aid to families with dependent children. In its first meeting Wednesday, the Legislature's State and Local Affairs Interim Committee recommended the Delta Air Lines mea Lines sures for the special session. Committee members unanimously aplease amendment proved a for the public airport facilities. Steve Allred. lobbyist for the city, said Delta wants to initiate a $22 million, construction project at Salt Lake International Airport by this summer. The city would approve use of industrial revenue bonds for the project's capital, with the city retaining ownership of the facilities. The facilities would include an 80,000 reservations, training and marketing center, square-foo- t with completion due this fall, and a maintenance and square-foo- t hangar structure to be in place by the end ofTiext vear. 60.000 Molini expected to enter plea By MARGARET HAMMERLAND Herald Staff Writer A former Brigham Young University football player was scheduled to enter a plea in 4th District Court today on charges of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or misrepresentation. Trevor Molini, 21, Reno, Nev.. appeared before Judge George Bal- - lif after waiving his preliminary hearing in Eighth Circuit Court in Orem. The charge carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in the Utah State Prison and a $5,000 fine. Molini and former teammate Steve Sanders. 22. Orange.

Sanders was arrested when he allegedly went to pick up the prescription, and Molini was arrested later that night in his home. The two were charged in December. 1986. with several counts of prescription fraud. After that incident, they were placed on strict probation by the university and completed a drug rehabilitation program at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. Following the April 9 incident, both were dismissed from the university . Murray charged in escape attempt, Injury to jail' By TOM WALTON Herald Staff Writer The man who told law enforcement authorities he witnessed the murder of Springville jogger Pam Page has been charged with one count of attempted escape and one count of Injury to the Utah County Jail. RobAccording to the charges, ert Murray was caught by Jail the guards attempting to leave building at 9 p.m. last Saturday. However, officials were reluctant to release the Information before filed "for charges were formally Ron security reasons," said Sgt. Corbctt. For that same reason, Corbrtt declined to disclose many dcUils. Murray offered no resistance when he was discovered, Corbett said. He Is serving six months for possession of cocaine. At the time of the alleged Murray was a "trustee in jail-brea- k, medium security" at the jail, which allowed him the ability to move around and service the needs of other Inmates. Since the Saturday Incident, Murray is no longer a trustee, Corbett said. "He is not Isolated, but security has been increased. "We believe the escape had been planned for several weeks, although we cannot confirm that," Corbctt said. Last September, Murray told police be saw Para Page killed by cocaine dealtis Guy Robertson and Keith Jenkins, which resulted in a convicted 200-pag- e memorandum filed by prosecutors In February In U.S. District Court to be used at the time of sentencing of Robertson and Jenkins. However, it was later disclosed that officers overheard Murray tell his girlfriend during a break in the police In ten lew he was not at the scene of Page's murder. The FBI Is investigating possible federal wiretap violations stemming from the Incident. The memorandum was ultimately withdrawn, and Judge David K. Winder stepped down from the case at his own request. Earlier this week, the U.S. Attorney's office confirmed it is planning to submit a revised memorandum to the new sentencing judge implicating Robertson and Jenkins in the alleged 1981 abduction, rape and beating Molof Robertson's sister-in-laly Beck Daniels of Spanish Fork. Daniels apparently committed suicide in March 1983. At that time, her mother Mary Jo Robertson opened a letter penned three days after the alleged 1981 incident. The letter calls Robertson, Jenkins and six others "cocaine dealers." If anything should happen to her, "these people are respon sible for my death," the letter said. Mary Jo Robertson said Molly did not name her abductors and does not believe Guy Robertson was involved in the incident. Local authorities do not plan to reopen the case. Jenkins! defense attorney, James Barber, said he intends to file a motion for a new trial based on prosecutor misconduct in the aftermath of the Page and Daniels allegations. Barber said the prosecuting attorneys have no respect for "their obligation to prosecute this case with any sense of basic fairness. "There is no evidence that Lynn (Jenkins) or Robertson had anything to do with the unproved of abduction and abuse by this poor dead girl, and it is clear from those who loved Molly best that Jenkins "6r Robertson had nothing to do wi ber death. To imply otherwise would be outright fraud," Barber said. However, Utah County Sheriff Dave Bateman said the judge should have the Robertson memorandum "if they can show It's good proof of enforcement by them in operating their drug business, if they operated through intimidation, then I 'think the judge should have It." allegations |
