Commissioners took the action Friday after learning that police have been unable to serve a summons on Lee Harper. The city wants Harper to appear at a hearing to show cause why his business license should not be revoked following conviction on charges of violating the city's antipornography ordinances. Harper was convicted in city court in October after a jury ruled the film, "Deep Throat," obscene. The theater operator is appealing the verdict to Third District Court. Assistant City Attorney Paul Maughan said the problem in finding Harper has forced the city to postpone the hearing until Dec. 3. The City Commission has decided to hold the hearing after mailing the summons to Mr. Harpers home address. whether he appears or not." Meanwhile, the theater has continued to operate in violation of city ordinances. Maughan said.

Mrs. Irish said, however, "If we hadn't found this place, we would have had to settle for whatever we could find, and what can you get for $110 a month?" An boy, John, straddles the rickety bannisters of the 3rd Avenue project stairs because he has no where else to play. He is young enough to risk frankness and wonders why the project doesn't have space to play. -They didn't even cut the weeds in front. and there's no grass or nothing," John complained.

Police teleprinters beat eavesdroppers Printed messages beMURRAY tween police headquarters and patrolmen here are thwarting a profitable criminal pastime intercepting police radio calls. Murray Police Department's new $50,000 teleprinter system, the first in the state, began operations Nov. Police Chief Calvin Gillen announced. The metal boxes installed under the dashboards of Murray's 30 patrol cars produce a hard copy message from police dispatch right into the hands of the patrolmen. The operation eliminates one of law enforcement agencies' biggest headaches with traditional police the ability of anyone, includradios ing criminals. to monitor police calls with a car radio receiver "Many times we have gone out on calls only to find the perpetrators have vanished." Chief Gillen said. "We've picked up many of the criminal element with their car radio receivers tuned to our police frequency." The new system has other advantages: teleprinter produces a permanent record of messages while the officer is out of the patrol car, ternporarily or overnight. The computer terminal on which the Murray dispatcher types teleprinter messages is tied into the state computer. This hookup can provide valuable information on wants, warrants and license checks at lightening speed. Police radios will remain in Murray patrol cars, Gillen said. but will be used only as a means for patrolmen to contact headquarters. The three-yea- r teleprinter project received GO percent federal funding. with the balance paid by Murray City, Gillen said. Bountiful Police Department expects to have the same system in operation in the near future, he added.

Educators seek to involve public By Lavor Chaffin Deseret News education editor CEDAR CITY The Utah State Board of Education believes the public should be involved in education decision making. For more than an hour Friday during a meeting in the Southern Utah State College Library, board members studied ways of involving patrons in school policy decisions. Two points were clear. The board is totally sincere in its conviction the public should be more substantially involved in decisions which involve its children and its resources. But the board also wants to proceed carefully and in such a manner it can in the support of local boards of education. the PTA. teachers and other I educators. Board members Joan Burnside and Richard D. Anderson suggested that a slide-filpresentation prepared by the Aate board staff should be shown first to "local school boards." The presentation spells out major points in a position paper previously adopted by the board and which calls for public involvement in school matters. The board also heard Jan Christensen and Clyde Benally, San Juan School District "facilitators," describe how both Anglo and Navajo patrons had been involved in schoo! decisions which led to a successful bond election in that district. The bond will finance high schools to be constructed on Navajo tribal lands. A major short-ranggoal in the board's effort to involve the public will e be the training mem bers. of its own stall "We must equip educators with the skills necessary to involve the public in education decision making." said Dr. Vaughn L. Hall, associate state superintendent of public instruction. Few educators really are skilled at such difficultwork, Hall said. Members of the State Board of Education (SEE) staff will be the first to be involved in training sessions, Hall said. The SEE asked John E. Gillespie who made the presentation, to furnish members texts of the message. They will make suggestions for changes with the goal of presenting it to local school boards as a first step towards greater 'public involvement. The board also: Jr., media coordinator slide-soun- d Was assured by Orson (Bud) Jacobson, chairman of the Utah State Advisory Council for Vocational Education, that the council fully supports the board in its intent to cut federal vocational fund allocations to the state's two technical colleges. The funds are needed, Jacobson said, to prepare skilled workers for Utah's certain-to-expan- d energy industry. (The SBE reduced Utah Technical College at Salt Lake's allocation from Sa09,(100 to $100,000, and Utah Technical College at Provo's Allocation from $193,00) to $100,000.) Also was assured by Jacobson that the council supports the SBE's recommendation that the two Skill Centcrs at Weber State College and Utah Technical College at Salt Lake be strengthened with appropriation of slate funds.
