Snow College News and Views by President Steven Bennion Several weeks ago, tragedy was averted in an autopedestrian accident, thanks in part to an alert and passing motorist. Two youngsters, crossing Ephraim's Main Street in the dark, were struck by a turning car. The driver, unaware that the children had been hit, or that the little girl was caught on the underside of the automobile, drove on, dragging the girl for over two blocks. Another motorist, Ashraf Abdel Azia, an Egyptian student at Snow College, saw the accident and was able to catch up to and stop the car. Miraculously, neither child involved in the accident was seriously injured. The concern and decisive action that Mr. Azia exhibited in behalf of these children, whom he didn't know and with whom he had no particular connection, possibly saved the girls life. In a day when we hear so much about indifference, apathy and the decline of moral values, it is refreshing to experience concern and heroism. Mr. Aziz is part of an often unrecognized but important segment of quick-thinkin- g The system currently produces $33 per inmate per day, and figures heavily in the Sanpete County Jail budget as a source of revenue. In fact, the Sanpete County Commission hired jailers to provide k surveillance at the county jail and sent the jailers to school to obtain their certification, primarily so that the county could participate in the Outcount program and obtain revenues which would offset the costs of retaining jail supervision. This year, however, the legislature slashed the Outcount programs funding by 30 to 40 percent, effective July 1. The good news is that it appears that Sanpete County will be allowed to board six or seven prisoners after the July 1 budget takes effect, Lund says. The bad news is that the county was planning to board IS state prisoners and will, under this new allocation, lose an average of $132 per day, Lund says. At present the county is boarding 12 prisoners and will continue to do so until the allocation is officially cut, according to Lund. The acting sheriff is optimistic about covering the projected shortfall in revenue by issuing citations, whose fines will make up the difference, he predicts. That really isn't very many tickets in a days time, Lund observed. Sheriff Dave Bailey, who developed the present county budget which depended heavily on the program operating to the maximum capacity, told the county commission a few days before his only resignation that he had been advised the Outcount program was down as a result of the the tube funding legislatures decisions made shortly before adjournment. Lund attributes part of the funding cut to the states development of a small regional prison facility in Cedar City which is expected to hold about 48 inmates. This facility will gradually take more and more of the prisoners ' who previously were boarded at facilities in Sanpete, Sevier, Duchesne, Emery, Millard, Uintah, Iron and Utah counties, Lund predicted. Lund noted that at present his office is operating with a personnel shortage resulting from the resignations of Sheriff Bailey and dispatcher Hal Hansen. At present, Lund says he has four deputies working in the jail, three on road patrol including himself, and one "swamped" civil process deputy. The loss of a dispatcher caused Lund to moe Deputy Barry Bradley into the chief dispatcher's position and the deputy also works as a dispatcher, Lund said. round-the-cloc- Gladys Louise Bjerregaard Peterson Salt 5 It's a case of good news and bad Bartholomew Gladys Louise 4 iosfler Coloring Coniest for outcount Obituaries Pag 1987 Thuraday, April 9, , the our campus community international students. The 70 to 80 foreign students who attend Snow College each year bring a rich cultural diversity to the campus and community. These students who come to the United States to learn our language and culture, in turn, share theirs with us. We have enjoyed several cultural nights on campus, and others have been sponsored by religious organizations serving the students. Families who act as hosts or sponsors for some of these students have a unique opportunity to be a part of what futurists have called the global community. Exposure to new ideas, customs and people is often the first step to truly understanding and accepting others. Cultures that were, for so many years, isolated from each other are now sharing, learning and making each other better. This has certainly been the case at Snow College. We are pleased for the cultural diversity that foreign students add to the campas community. 24-ho- out-cou- last-minu- te I I ! During my maternity leave I received several questions for Buzzy. I apologize for being so late to answer them. I will try to answer as many as I can in the order in which they were received. The first question came from Nicky Poulson of Ephraim. Nicky wants to know why sometimes we see the moon in the daytime and when we see the moon what does the other side of the earth see? Every 29 and a half days the moon makes a complete orbit around the earth. Its orbit is not a round one but an elliptical one. That is a new word for most of you. Elliptical means oval. Each of these trips is called a revolution. The moon moves at a rate of about 2,300 miles per hour. That is pretty fast. At that rate it would take only one hour to go from Los Angeles to Hawaii. To show that a little closer to what you might travel, at a rate of 2,300 mph it would take you only five minutes to travel from Ephraim to Salt Lake City. The distance that the moon must travel is 1,400,000 or 1.4 million miles. I'm not sure how to explain that distance except to say that it is 221,456 miles to the moon at its closest point and 252,711 miles at its farthest point. So you could make more than three round trips to the moon in 1.4 million miles. The part of the moon that you see depends on your location on the earths surface. What that means is that where you live determines what you are able to see. The moon has no light of its own. All the light that we see comes from the reflection of the sun on the moons surface. The moon is always half in the light and half in the dark. What makes the different phases is Earth Daylight Savings Time started in Great Britain during World War I. It was a way to take advantage of all the daylight hours. The United States adopted it in 1918. In 1919 Congress repealed the law that means that it was no longer a law , but many cities liked it and so continued to practice it. After World War II began, Daylight Savings Time was once again used in the United States. This depended on the decisions of the individual states and cities. In 1966, the U. S. Congress decided that it was silly for states to change their clocks on different days and so they established the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October to be the days that the clocks were moved forward or backward. The law also said that each state could choose which time they wished to follow. Arizona is one of the states that still does not go on Daylight Savings Time. Now you may say last Sunday was not the last Sunday in April. You are right. The time has since been changed to the Bret Sunday. Daylight Savings Time is especially good for farmers and people who work outside. They have a longer period of daylight hours in which to work. Many people also like it because they have longer periods of light and can enjoy recreational activities after they get home from work. Daylight Savings Time is not used the sun is in a different position and the light rays are shining on us for a much shorter time. Because the weather is also quite bad, outdoor activities are more limited. Gardens are under snow and farmers cannot work on their farms. Can you think of any reasons why you might like or dislike Daylight Savings Time? in the winter because I The moon seems to change shope from day to day at It goes through phase t. The moon changes from new moon to hit moon and bock again every 29 Vi days. The phases ore caused by the moon's orbit around the earth as the earth ond moon travel around the sun. Half of the moon Is always In sunlight, but varying amounts of the lighted side are visible from the earth. As the moon and earth move along their orbits, more of the sunlit part Is seen until It shines as a fufl moon. Then less and lets of the sunlit part is seen until the dark new moon returns. WHY THE MOON HAS PHASES 0 what we are able to see on the earth. The World Book Encyclopedia had this real neat diagram of how we get the phases of the moon. Take some time with your parents or another grownup, to really look at the pictures. You can learn a lot just by looking at diagrams and pictures. When you look at the moon tonight try to see if you can figure out if it is a new moon that you cannot see, a full moon that you can see all of, or a quarter or crescent moon that you can only see part of. See if you can figure out what the moon will look like tomorrow or next week. One more interesting diagram you might like, is the one that shows that we always see the same side of the moon no matter what phase we are in. If you would like to know more about the moon, there are many interesting books in the school, city libraries and the Snow College Library. The Snow College Library also has a moving diagram of the Solar System. Maybe your parents will take you to see it. The sky can be fascinating if you take the time to look at it. In big cities like Los Angeles, there are so many city lights that you cannot see the stars. Here in Sanpete County you can even see satellites, if you look hard enough. Daylight Savings Time Have you noticed how it seems as if you have to get up earlier in the mornings and that the night seems later? Do you know why this happens? Last Sunday morning all the people in Manti and Ephraim changed their clocks to what is known as Daylight Savings Time.
