It’s still worth a try but that’s the key — if we can get the money” he added Of the over 400 people who visited the City Commission the maximum number of people” Garn said enGarn lauded the vironmentalists who 'closely watch development in the Wasatch front area but was dismayed by the actions of what he called “a mirsrfty” He said the environmental Chambers Thursday night forty-si- x were able to get on the agenda during the marathon town meeting called by Rep Owens He noted that the statements were well balanced pro and con and that he was pleased that the people present had been able to “talk rationally on what can be a very hot subject” At the beginning of the meeting Lake’s large watershed “Whether the Olympics come or not all of you should be behind a sensible zoning law for those canyons so that we all know based on fact what densities can be allowed and what type of development can be up there preserving the environment for movement necessary is aboslutely and called for “in-tellectu- honesty” Among those who addressed the hearing were County Commissioner Pete Kutulas Dave Raskin of the Sierra Club Vern Huser executive director of the Utah Environment Center Ted Johnson of Snowbird John Price of Tracy Collins Bank and Trust Alexis Kellner Chandler St John of the US Forest Service and Bill Shelton who explained the construction and operation costs of the Games as proposed Garn defended the conditions of the presentation accepted by the USOC “We intend to protect the environment up there” he said He also asked for support of better planning in the future of developments in Salt Media center Library modernized by Linda Harmon senior writer Dean F Peterson heads engi neeri ng by Susan Arrington senior writer “Although we are ranked 128th size in the nation” says Dean F Peterson Dean of USU’s of College Enginering “we are 28th in the US in funding well in ahead of such well-know- State” Dean Peterson a native of Delta Utah stresses that USU’s engineering department is “as good as anybody’s” in the areas of irrigational development in foreign countries (USU has nine faculty members working in foreign countries) and research and work (including the contributions of upper-atmosphe- Doram Baker re head of the electrodynamic lab Kay Baker in the space science lab and Rex Megill working in basic scientific application) An outgoing man Dean and Institute Polytechnic USU’s Dean of became Engineering in 1957 In an effort to introduce new types of classes to the - About ten years ago the typical elementary library consisted of several sets of wooden chairs and tables one desk with a head librarian behind it many quiet children and four walls crammed with books for grades one to six That was ten years ago The elementary libraries of today are exciting enough to make one wish for another year in fifth or sixth grade A great example of these modern libraries (or instructional media centers as they are now called) is the Ann Carroll Moore Library in the Edith Bowen School This library is the children’s division of the MLLRP The head librarian or library media specialist is Mrs Ruth Rice e Mrs Rice is aided by one and one part-tim- e assistant plus work-study several students on “The importance of the librarian or needs to be emphasized” stressed Mrs Rice “A substantial education and a great deal of training are required for such a position” Possibly the most exciting idea involving this instructional media center is that of individualizing as much instruction and learning as possible for the students This is being done by allowing students to use the media center for all phases of their studies Children can make transparencies lifts tapes watch filmstrips and do their own photography with all their materials being provided by the media center Not only does this encourage creativity but also enhances learning as most children have learned to run all the machines in the media center The library contains 13000 volumes ranging in interest from kinlevel “We have almost 2000 university dergarten to students assigned in here for some of their classes and I can’t think of a college within the university that doesn’t use this center” stated Mrs Rice The library and media center are always open to university students’ use full-tim- -
