"People don't smoke that much." Asking small firms to contribute to the health insurance would result in millions of jobs lost when companies that can't afford it fail. He quoted a Washington humorist who said, "If you think that medical care is expensive now, wait until it is free." Rationing of health care is an inevitable result of such a program, Devine said. "Canada has 300,000 people on waiting lists," Devine pointed out. He proposed that instead of a massive federal takeover of the health care system, a tax credit be given to everyone for health care, just as it is to the large companies. "It solves the problem, and brings poor people into the mainstream." Devine gave the Clintons credit for putting the health care issue on the table for discussion. He said there were problems with the current system, but the way to solve them was not to turn it over to the government. people. Donald Devine, former manager of the civil service under Ronald Reagan, gave the keynote address at the benefit. He noted that he had been called Reagan's Rasputin of Reduction in Force. During his appointment, he instituted several unpopular reforms including adding deductibles and to the federal employees health program. Those reforms put the program back in the black. He noted that if government makes a decision, it is going to make an arbitrary decision based on the political will of the person making the decision. He referred to Clinton's proposed health care reform and noted that it was the most radical change in the history of the U.S. "We are transferring of the economy from the private sector to the fedone-eigh- th eral government," he said. Devine enumerated several problems with the Clinton proposal. "The financing is a fan TRANSMISSION REBUILD 771 E.

He said that while the school considered suspending a student-athlet- e for illegal activities off campus, the juvenile court advised him not to. "It was a juvenile court situation, and we were told to keep out of it," he said. Evans said that he would have supported the decision to suspend or not suspend the players. "It could have gone either way, and I would support the decision either way," he said. He said that the meeting with parents was positive. "The parents were very supportive," he said. "They felt what was done was fair and just, and they weren't there just to make sure that their kids got to play." When asked if he is concerned about accusations about special treatment for athletes, the superintendent said that there is no way to change that kind of attitude. "We see the same kind of thing in society," he said. However, he pointed out that those involved in the incident who are not on athletic teams are not being punished by the school. He said that one thing that the school's athletic programs should do is make team rules more specific. The superintendent said that anyone who steals should be punished. "If somebody makes a mistake, there should be some way to punish them," he said. "There should be some retribution made. But you should also ask yourself if the punishment is punishing all the other players not involved as well." CAN WE aoo INTEREST? yOUR U S B O N D Copyright 1993 Emery County Progress.

Apparently Arnold had suspended the four players earlier in the week for alleged involvement in the thefts, but he then changed his decision Friday, reinstating the play' ers' eligibility. When asked if the athletes involved would be allowed to play in Saturday's game, Jones said that some of the players would start in their usual positions while some would be held out of the starting lineup but come into the game later. While two of the players were directly implicated in the most recent theft charges, two others have not been charged but were apparently in possession of stolen property.
