Why, for instance, do you think it is perfectly all right for young ladies to go to school with their skirts hiked above their knees? No wonder the poor boys keep dropping out of school. How can they possibly keep their eyes on their books with all those bare knees flashing provocatively Shocked Grandfather. by? Shocked Grandfather: High school boys of today have been raised by mothers who wear short skirts, shorter shorts, and the shortest of bajhing suits. The boy's sis tens and friends have been In bikinis since nursery school Legs are simply for walking, ss far as they are concerned. So'the sight of a bare knee is Pear nomore distracting than the sight of a bare wrist or elbow. School girls dont wear miniskirts to provoke the boys, anyway. They wear them to be in fashicn. Wearing the right thing is of passionate importance to When the maxiskirt takes hold, the coeds will grumble, but down will come their hemlines. This will make their grandfathers more comfortable, but I doubt very much if it will have any effect at all on the dropout record. teen-ager- Dear Beth: There is a girl in our school who is While you are arourd her, she acts all buddy-buddbut as soon as you leave she starts telling lies behind your back. She complains to her mother that she have doesnt any dose friends, and you can see the reason why. Everyone gives her the cold shoulder lately. She brags that the boys all love her, but it isnt true; they cant stand her either. Do you think we should try to two-face- d. y, sit down and reason with her, or just give her the brush? Sickened. Dear Sickened: Reason with her, espedally if you can do it in a constructive, friendly way so she knows you aren't just trying to put her down. It may not work, but it seems only fair to give her the chance to change. Dea. Beth: One of my teachers is always picking on me. She calls on me twice as often as anybody else. The other kids have all noticed it Marcia What shall I do? Gary C. Swenson, left, signs np Cyn-d-ie Tucker, Andrea McQueen, De- - Dear Marcia: Your homework and do it twice as well as usual. It may not stop her from calling on you, but think what fun it will be to floor her with all the correct answers. (Beth welcomes letters and will answer as many as possible in her column. She regrets that she is unable to give personal answers.) Gap wayne Bennett for S.L. County Recreation Depts youth horse show.

There is an increasing number of sluffs and absences ia the public schools. And a lot of people are asking why? Instead of spending time out in the sun, a group of high school students and teachers have spent the summer in a University of Utah workshop sponsored by Youth Services. In the beginning, the workshop was a gripe session where teens could voice their and frustrations delights about their education. Students talked to find out exactly what they disliked and what they could do to improve the situation. Problems in the area of teacher-studerelationships were also discussed. Students felt teacners should establish a feeling of trust and friendship with students. Students also discussed grading. They felt its untrue that students need to be forced to learn, and that they are punished by poor grades. The teens said they felt this practice was a detriment, not only to intellectual development, to personality but also growth. Students suggested a new system of grading in which the term begins with the teen and his teacher discussing exactly what the student should be striving to accomplish. The two then sign a contract If the student fulfills the contract, he earns a B. If he doesnt, he gets no grade and no credit. If the student does extra work, helps other students and reports to the teacher on his own time, h can earn an A. Of general concern to stu- dents was the need they felt in determining their own future and educational direction. Students repeatedly said they felt the need for responsibility and a definite, direct role in governing at school. They wanted a more free, open atmosphere which fosters independent thinking. ther Landa, Marion Bateman, Briant Stringham and Royal K. Hunt.

Im.' just visiting, and came up with $5, as the winner of ;1the bubble Most cars fall into either of two categories. The first is the car that gives you loads and loads of power, but uses loads and loads of gas. The reason why these cars use so much gas is because they have large cylinders, and generally a lot of them. The second category of car is the one that uses very little gas, but gives you very little power. These work just the opposite from the big powerhouses: small cylinders and not too many of them. You might say the Audi combines the best of both worlds. The engine is small enough to give you about 26 miles to a gallon of gas. Yet it's powerful enough to go from 0 to 60 in 11 seconds. How did we do it? Well, for one thing, we increased the compression ratio of the engine, to give ing contest. Becky is a student at Bonneville Junior High. jilnning is easy.
