Show 2 NEWS, Brigham City, Utah ; ' Sunday, October 4, 1 970 BOX ELDER Brigham Council Balks On Cable Cut Proposal ' - " School Talk American Telephone and Telegraph wants to cut through the asphalt, dig a trench and lay an underground cable oh Brigham Citys Highland Blvd. City officials are not convinced it should be done. Consequently, the AT&T is being asked to make a better case for its proposed project. y Robert Lindsey and Roy Hansen, agents for the telephone company, met with the city council Thursday night to gain authorization. They explained that the cut would be made along the length of Highland, about seven feet out from the curb on the east side and from four to six feet deep. Asked why another route couldnt be used, the two said there were technical reasons which only their engineers could explain. filer; language Arts By C. Morgan Hawkes, Administrator of Curriculum and Instruction right-of-wa- both Educators, on a national and local level, are constantly seeking a better way to accomplish the task of educating youth. This is the concern, not only of teachers and administra- schools, but also those at college and universities. As a result methods and materials of instruction are constantly changing. Most educators agree that even and children youth spend part though of nearly every school day on the study of language, and use it in some form or another throughout all their waking hours, they still dislike the study of English and do not correctly and effectively write or speak. Many also lack the skill to read. This fact has led many groups to study the methods of teaching the language arts, how to read, write, speak, and listen effectively to our native tongue. From this united effort we now have the new approach to the study of our language. Change Inevitable Realizing that a change in the study of English was inevitable, Box Elder County School district began three years ago to study and seek out an effective new curriculum in English for the district. After considerable study, it was determined that a curriculum for English designed by a group of educators at the University of Nebraska held school possibilities. During the 1969-7year, the Nebraska curriculum for Eng0 lish was used on an experimental basis at Lincoln school in Brigham City and at Corinne school. This new English program was a literary approach to the study of our language. Children were given a multitude of experiences in listening to and reading different types of GOOD literature. They studied types of writing, methods of writing, and purposes of writing. They learned to appreciate their language and, more important, it taught them to write and speak well. It also relieved the teacher from resorting to drills that ultimately promote a dislike toward the study. Our teachers found, as many have throughout the nation, that through contact with good selected literature, pupils enjoy and comprehend the process of writing and speaking English correctly. Adopted District-Wid- e So successful was the experiment with the new program in our district that the committee of teachers appointed to study the program voted unanimously, in the spring of 1970, to adopt the program in all elementary schools in the district this year. The junior high school teachers were, likewise, impressed and requested that the program be used on an experimental basis at the junior high level. As a result, Box Elder County School district now has the new language arts program in grades kindergarten to eighth. Although many school patrons will not fully understand the new program, cooperation and patience are asked and in return it is likely that children will read better, write better, speak better and listen better and, as an extra bonus, they will enjoy the study of their language. This new program is one of many new programs in our schools which has been adopted to make the schools of Box Elder county better. Policy is always to provide the best schools possible for the youth of our county. Like to See Engineers to see your engineers come up and see if you cant relocate further east if practical, commented Councilman A1 Id like Cazier. Following the street line would involve digging into 2,315 feet of paved surface and about 2.200 feet which is not paved. Mayor Olof Zundel who was openly critical of the proposal, noted that cuts never are repaired to a condition as good as the original surface. We went to great pains to put in utilities before the street was surfaced. Wed have to explain to those people living on Highland why were letting you do this, he stated. The mayor noted also that in making such a cut, AT&T might run into difficulty with irrigators below the project area who may feel that ground water has been tapped.

Editor: Several newspaper articles lately have dealt with long hair styles on boys at the Box Elder High school and I would like to make a few observations. The rule, as I understand it, is referred to as the "Hair and Dress Standard. In one article, the fact was mentioned that 15 boys were sent home because of their long hair. I wonder how many girls were sent home because of their short skirts. Another article mentioned that the school, after all, had its standards. I cannot help wonder what kind of a standard it is that denies a boy an education in a public school (supported in part by his parents) and prevents his participation in school functions, just because he favors a long hair style. Also mentioned was the observation by school officials that BEHS had "no problem regarding this long hair persecution. Since when is 15 boys being denied their rightful education not a problem? Would not even one boy sent home in humiliation and frustration be a problem? I would be interested in knowing just what does constitute a problem at BEHS. Because these boys were forced into line by refusing them what is rightfully theirs, does this problem no longer exist? One major point seems to be that long hair on boys is synonymous with "trouble. One wonders, if the hair rule were relaxed, just how many "good boys would soon show up with long hair. Quite a few. Once the hair rule was abolished the entire situation would take on a new look. If a boy with long hair is sent home from school, it should be because he is a troublemaker and not because he has long hair. This ridiculous "hair and dress standard should be abolished. It creates far more trouble than it hair on boys is no worse than long, firevents. Long (or short skirts) on girls - only different. Is being "different really such a terrible thing? Very truly yours, Mrs. J. W. Munro 473 South Seventh West Brigham City Editor: I wish at the close of my mission to thank you all for the fine support which you have afforded me these past two years by sending me your paper.

Principal Carroll C. Nichols said the commended student is Colleen F. Elwell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Elwell, 736 North Sixth East, Brigham Delay Action In other business, the council tabled for further consideration a request from Bonneville Recreation center to open on Sundays. It was explained that a present city ordinance bans pool table operation on Sunday and because the center has pool tables, this would seem to bar its opening. However, the city officials opined that perhaps owner Ted Barnes may want to open for the operation of other games only. And so a decision in the matter was put off. Mayor Zundel said he would not like to see the ordinance changed. What youre saying is that wed have to let the pool halls open too, commented Councilman Bryon Armstrong. The council said in the future, it wants those places proposed for of disconnection due to utility bills.
