Harry Burchell is a well known sports enthusiast who presently acts as the sports information director at Bonneville High. Bliss Fullmer, sports writer for the Sportstacular newspaper, has asked Harry this week to comment on his feelings about athletics and the role it has played in education. Mr. Burchell chose to take his answers from an article he read recently). What Functions for the Interscholastic Program Note: The following article appeared as the National Report of the Winter 1979 edition of Interscholastic Athletic Administration, the quarterly journal of the National Federation of State High School Associations, Brice B. Durbin, publisher. What functions should the interscholastic activities program be expected to perform? d Certainly, as a program, the program should be expected to educate. One activity n ight teach blocking and tackling skills, another might teach dribbling and shooting skills, another might teach throwing and batting skills, and still another n ight teach marching and drun ming skills: but all the activities should provide education in some specific phy sical skills. The emphasis might be strength in one course, agility in another, en-- . school-sponsore- durance in another, rhythm in another, breath control in another, articulation in another; but there should be physical development in all. The interscholastic activities should also provide for progran emotional development. The arena of participation should be a laboratory where students learn practical application of their skills. Specifically, students might learn poise, tea ii' work and grace in both winning and losing. The interscholastic program-thro- ugh self-contr- state, intersectional and events also has international potential to teach youth about different places, customs and cultures. But students should not be the sole beneficiaries of the interscholastic program. The program should also perforn certain functions for the school, the surrounding community and even society as a whole. The program should provide a rallying point for students and school faculty of 'different skin colors; econon ie backgrounds and personal interests. It should be a place for them to come together and pull together. The program should be a magnet for drawing the whole community to support of educational needs in the con n unity. It should be a glue to hold the community and school together during the controversies of strikes, referenda and court orders. But perhaps the highest vision of the interscholastic activities program is as a servant to society in general. The interscholastic program should not withdraw from society, but participate in it. It should not ignore societal ills, but attempt to correct then . It should not be preoccupied with its own struggle lor existence, but with the needs of society. Consistent with this vision, the people responsible for and involved in the interscholastic activities program should be active participants in the struggle to preserve in of spite governmental and financial constraints locally controlled, broad based, high quality activities progran s for all the boys and girls who seek the opportunity to participate. We should recognize and try to aecon nodate the special needs of both the varsity star and the freshman We should be as i eluctant to drop the sophomore cross country team as the varsity football team. We should be as excited to add a junior varsity water polo team as we are to sponsor the varsity basketball tea Spectators and revenue should not be the measures we use to determine the fun, excitement and education which pupils realize from school activities. . The people involved in the in- activities program terscholastic should reach out for young people who are alienated from schools and figures. They should sponsor and support programs which attract disenfranchised youth to schools for supervised recreation and instruction, thus tending to move schools and faculty to the center of the lives of these young people. We should consider that pooling the lesources of the interscholastic program with the resources of com- authority n unity programs may not threaten but n ay actually enhance our programs. We should not be reluctant to break down barriers between and forces with community join recreation groups and social services in order to make the interscholastic program a better servant. There will be people who say these things cant be done or shouldnt be done. They would limit the interscholastic program to spending no more money than taxpayers will allocate or to seneaunng no more programs than the school year ii F-1- 6-- 6-- recreation complex Iake City.

'Barry was the first and best friend ever had' (Two of Roy Highs most devoted sports fans included Douglas Kay Shaw and Barry Odow. We gave Douglas an opportunity to share his feelings about his good friend Barry). By Douglas Kay Shaw et Barry Odow in 1967 school at Gramercy Elementary. He was the first friend that I had at Gramcery. Barry has always been friendly and easy to get along with. Barry has cerebral palsy (c.p.) a disease that effects people differently, with Barry it has effected his speech and n uscle control. This has produced many difficulties for him to face, but he doesnt let it get him down. He is ready for anything that he faces in his life. I first when I n started Barry is a good student, he enjoys getting good grades. Through the years at Wahlquist Jr., and now at Roy High I have made a goal of ii atehing Barrys grades, but it is a difficult thing to do. Barry is a very conscientious individual, he likes to get whatever he is doing done. This is exemplified by his school work: he often hands in assignments ahead of schedule. Barry is very hard working, he has a paper route, in the summer he does yard work, and sometimes works in his fathers flower shop. He once wrote in a report about himself I want people to respect me for what I can do. Along with hard work Barry also enjoys having fun, he loves fishing ii ovies, and all types of sports. He really loves supporting Royal athletics, and plans to join the booster club after he graduates. In the world of Pro. sports Barry likes Dallas (football), New York A.L. (baseball), and in basketball he likes the Utah Jazz (dont ask me why). Barry was born on July 27, 1961, to Richard and Hana Odow of Roy. He was the first of two boys born to their family. His brother (Bruce) is active in athletics and Barry really enjoys cheering him on. Because of his friendly personality Barry gets along well with people, and is liked, and loved, by many people including his instructors. The list of his favorite teachers include: Ted Smith, Riley Summers, La Rae Larkin, Tery Hawks, Gordon Randall, Vicki Greenburg, and Violet Cottrell Barry graduated this past Friday, in the future he plans on working. There are many challenges ahead of him, but he has what it takes to come out on top. school teacher who holds a M.A. degree in Special Education, and Miss Bettina Hart, 21, who chose body sculpting to lose an awful lot ol weight, as she put it.

Fullmer Roys Rocky By Bliss Olson led his Ninth Ward Varsity Scouts to victory in a district comprising Roy, Clinton, Sunset and Hooper and to the Lake Bonneville championship for the entire Ogden Valley, and last week his dozen scouts won first place honors in the First Annual Varsity Scout Games, held this year at Weber State His scouts captured eleven medals, including six gold, three silver and one bronze, in three days of competition, but then Rocky is no stranger in winning medals. In Vietnam, in 1968, he was given five medals for service in action. He was awarded the Silver Star for his part in the lOlSt. Airborn Divisions assault on Hamburger Hill. He was twice aboard helicopters that were hit by enemy fire, and received the Army Medal on each, Commendation occasion. He was given a Bronze Star e citation, while on a patrol behind enemy lines. (They called it Living with Charlie). His patrol attacked and inflicted heavy casualties on the Viet Cong in that bit of action. On another patrol, his unit was ambushed by the V.C., and eight of the twelve Yankees were either killed or wounded. Rocky was given the Bronze Medal for holding off the enemy, while helicopters moved in to rescue the wounded. Rocky arrived in other .with eleven Vietnam the for Screaming replacements long-rang- , Eagle Airborne Division. He was the only one of the twelve to come out of Vietnam alive. Rocky could write a book about his experiences and close-call- s in Southeast Asia. Olsen graduated this month from Utah State University, with a B.S. degree in Engineering Technology. He had gone to Weber State for one year, prior to going on an LDS Mission to the Central States and serving in the U.S. Army for two years. He picked up three years of school, while working full-tim- e as an Electrician at Hill Air Force Base. He is married to Shaunna Egginton, formerly of Sunset, and they have three children. Holly is five years old, Breck is three and Cody is one. Rocky Olson is proud of his Varsity Scouts. We arc program in part of a pilot scouting, he explained. The LDS Church, with its vast scouting program, was selected for a pilot progran for the fourteen and fifteen year olds, and they named it The younger Varsity Scouting. scouts concentrate on learning to do challenging and exciting things, and the Varsity continued Olson, Scouts eu phasize doing them. Last year we went on a 270 mile bicycle trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and we had a hall. Roy and every scout in Northern L'tah can be proud of leaders like Rocky Olson and for what he did as coach for Troop 228, at the Varsity Scout games at Weber State.

Allan was also voted u ost n usculai by the panel of five judges, which included the states first won an judge, Mrs. Suzanne Olsen of Sail in that administrators of the interscholastic activities program look beyond conventional sources of h school funding the calendar. Money exists for programs which the public believes are valuable for programs which serve the publics needs. And time and facilities are available when a need is felt. We suggest that a time of tax revolt is the best time to look beyond our present prograies and problems. Perhaps conventional programs will not be considered essential during the tax revolt. Perhaps we need to reach out and affect positively more taxpayers and future taxpayers. They need to see that our programs satisfy their needs. Pros select cagers OGDEN Three basketball players of this years Weber State team were selected in the recent National Basketball Association draft. Bruce Collins, 5 guard from Rock Springs, Wyoming, was the first Utah collegiate player taken in the draft as the tenth pick in the second round to the Portland Trailblazers.
