Carnahan, president of Utah Tech. Gone forever are the days when our students were thought of as besequening basically analytical, tially ordered and left brain he says. some instruction requires the logical progression of ones thinking to complete the practical work. But at the same time, there is a great deal of right brain dominated, Its true creativity and problem-solvin- g undertaken in most of the programs we teach. As many business and professional people realize, there are few jobs in todays society in which one does the same thing day after day. The challenges and complexity of our lives and possessions almost require us to be creative, probing and innovative, says Dr. Carnahan. For example, the automotive technician not only has to deal with intricate equipment, but also is expected to troubleshoot and apply creative solutions. Thats whole brain experience. That urgent need for creativity is as true for the business manager as ;it . is for the architectural or engineering technology graduate, or any other skilled individual, the president contends. The School of Continuing Education at Utah Technical College recognizes the importance of creativity throughout the market place. It is promoting a half-da- y practical workshop to teach and encourage business people to use the whole brain approach in their working lives. Participants, officials say, will come away from the experience with many suggestions for cultivating more ideas to use in every aspect of their lives. With acceptance of the premise that we need to enrich our quality of life by being more creative, Utah Tech could expand this creative thinking workshop in the future, says Bill Laney, division chairman. Taught by Bryan Gardner, who has conducted many seminars on the subject, the Aha! - Creative Thinking workshop will be held on Jan. 23 from 8 a.m. to noon on the Redwood Road campus.

Barker said he wants to continue on the the excellent progress Snowplows And Joggers Don't Mix, UDOT Says the plows. Many close calls have been reported by plow operators already this year. Its obvious why joggers do their running in the traffic lanes; theres less snow there than on the sides of the road. But highways were not built to be used as a jogging track. Joggers should find somewhere safe to do their running, perhaps a track at any high school, instead of creating a traffic hazard and making a target of themselves for snowplows. Its not just joggers, however, who are a problem. Stalled motorists will sometimes stand in the roadway and wave their arms trying to flag the plow operator down for help. Again, the drivers visibility is impaired by the snow thrown by the plow and its extremely difficult for him to see : anyone. The drivers are very, concerned about the possibility of injury to pedestrians. Understanding that you are not nearly as visible to the plow operator as he is to you should make you aware of the potential danger to you and the need for caution on your SALT LAKE. Winter has definitely arrived in Utah. Winter means snow; snow means snowplows; and snowplows and joggers dont mix, says a spokesman for the Utah Dept, of Transportation. An extremely dangerous traffic hazard, which has become increasingly evident in recent years, are joggers who use the highway as a jogging track. Its a big job trying to clear the roads of snow to make driving safer for motorists. The drivers who operate the plows are on call. Many times theyre called out in the middle of the night to plow snow, and they continue plowing as long as it continues snowing. Even then their job is not done; they must sand, salt and plow the roads as long as there is any accumulation of snow or ice on the highways. The drivers must maneuver the large trucks through all kinds of traffic at all hours of the day and night, watching for stalled cars, watching for mailboxes and signs along the edges of the roads. They spend hour after hour in their trucks, fighting fatigue, their visibility impaired by bad weather and by the snow being thrown by their plows. But the plow operators biggest worry is the joggers. Joggers frequently do their running in early morning hours or in the evening after dark, which makes them even more difficult to see. The joggers create an extremely hazardous situation for themselves, as well as the driver of the snowplow and other motorists. Besides the possibility of actually being hit by one of the trucks, they can be seriously injured if hit by the snow that is thrown by part. riTuHSTri I I - ALL MAKES IMPORTS and DOMESTIC I come a I PrecisionPrices Engineered Performance I S Products in to: or Call us for IP.I.P.
