One School will think twice now be- - amendment sugggested was to fore riding their bicycles across allow students to only ride bikes the schools playground. during the noon hour or you All because of major change in can only ride girls bikes, Ban-th- e Review start they law. The law was revised during a recent session in the schools fac- ulty room that included mayors, governors, a senator and even the president. And it was largely through the efforts of the senator - Jack Bangerter, that the law was changed. But dont give him all the blame or .. er .. credit. Bangerter was at the school to teach students how to change and enact laws and how to usd parliamentary procedure. He met with mayors and governors elected by the school's student body. Presiding over the session was the schools president - Branden Cook. And the session ensued into a battle over whether or not children should be allowed to ride bicycles on the playground at the school. Amy Duncan, fourth grade governor, told the group there should be no bicycle riding on the playground. Which was challenged by Tiffany Collet, school historian. Tiffany can filibuster if she doesnt want the law to be passed, Bangerter told the students. And what does it mean to filibuster? Bangerter suggested that Tiffany should be prepared to speak for two or three days until everybody get so doggone tired that shell win. Doggone, those filibusters are fun, Bangerter chuckled. Page 3A O gerter suggested. But that wasnt passed into law either. Colby Wilson, a sixth grade mayor, said he didnt like the idea of allowing bike riding on the playground at all because kids could get hurt out on recess. He suggested instead that there be no riding of bicycles on the Students playground. have to walk their bikes the playground to reach rack rather than riding would across a bike to the. bike rack. Colbys motion was passed into law. If you dont like the law that was passed, youd better have your president reconvene you and have it changed, Bangerter told the students. You have to have laws. Thats what the (state) legislature 'is all about," Bangerter said. Bangerter said he felt there are many problems that should be solved so I raised my hand and ran as a Republican for a seal in the state legislature. Bangerter said he votes for a constituency of about 50,000 people. On a recent bill to restict programming considered indecent on cable tv, Bangerter said he faced the decision whether to vote yes or not in behalf of his 50.000 constituents. He said it was unlikely that all 50.000 would be in favor of the law. Probably half want it and half ddnt. Some will probably South Edition Lakeside Review Wednesday, October 26, 1983 be mad at me, he said. When you vote, you dont vote your own convictions, but you vote, what the people you represent want. About the American system of government, Bangertcr told the students It might not be the best all the time, and a lot of people might be mad sometimes, but it is the best system in the world. With parliamentary procedure, the senator instructed the stud-neto address Branden Cook as Mister President. You never, never call him by his first name, Bangerter told the students. Nor do you just call him president - at least not while a session of the schools lawmakers is in session. When you pass laws, you restrict the fredom of people. When you take laws away, you give people more freedom, Bangerter said. The dozen or so students who convened to hear Bangerter speak were fourth, fifth and sixth grade class olficers who are part of the American Values program at the school, Jean Madsen, principal of the school, said. All fourth, fifth and sixth grade classrooms are divided into cities each with a mayor. A governor is chosen from each grade level. Then a presidnet of the school is chosen. ts The mayors can also convene individual council meetings in their classrooms to pass laws. In a council meeting of all of the officers at the school held each week laws are passed that may affect the entire school, Ms. Madsen said. Helen Michie serves as an adviser to the council.
