The Lee lad was walking on the north side of 3785 South on his way to school when he darted into the roadway in front of an eastbound car just one week prior to the council session - a fact which hung gloomily over Tuesdays proceedings. The death of the Lee lad was the third to occur in four years along a block and a half stretch of the street. Orchard elementary PTA president Genile Gardner was also struck and killed in May near the same spot.

While sidewalks are apparently the citys ultimate goal, banning parking on the street was seen as a short term solution to the problem until the legal mechanism could be put in place for sidewalk construction. Its necessary for us to do something before school starts again, Mayor Mike Embley pointed out. Christmas recess will end this week and students will return to school Monday. The no parking signs, which should be in place before the reopening of school, will prohibit parking stretch from 7:30 along the22-bloca.m. until 5:30 p.m. on school days. Another city ordinance, aimed at keeping streets clear of obstructions during winter months, already prohibits parking throughout the city from 2 a.m. until 8 a.m. seven days a week from November through March. In combination, the two regulations will limit parking on the strip to a 61 period on weekdays from 5:30p.m. until 2a.m. We will vigorously enforce the parking ban to the best of our ability, Police Chief David C. Campbell assured members of the council. It will be an extra assignment, but I feel we are able to handle it all right, he added. k Green Sheet Area Responds season. hile most businesses seemed to Everything - jewelry, sing joyfully, Don we now our gay cosmetics, tools, toys - everything apparel" was apparently not part of was very well received." noted this years song as far as the sale of David Rokich, owner of the Six Star men's clothing was concerned.

But higher education is operating under the same budgetary constraints as public education. The numbers are especially critical during the first year or two of college. Half the number of kids entering college, said Owen, drop out by the end of that period, but, in the meantime, the colleges must deal with them. Colleges have attempted to tighten enrollment requirements. But, based on a district report on the high school course taking patterns, many students are simply taking the required courses. "We dont want to be responsible for cutting short a student's chances for higher education. said Owen, so we have to begin to think about not only about grades nine through 12, but also grades 13 and 14.

In other words, if we had classrooms that are idle in the evening, could we provide freshman and sophomore college experience in the high schools ? Just how the cost of utilities, instructors and etc. would be covered, he added, would be another target of the study. Review to issues related to utilization of technology and differentiated staffing patterns and the potential they hold for changing how school education is delivered. Maximizing the teacher force to reduce direct teaching costs. With regard to these two last items, some of the above is already being done, Owen said. Two-wacommunication systems that allow a professor or teacher to work with small groups of widely scattered students via television will undoubtedly be employed. Another method would be to use a master teacher to teach a subject to a larger group of students. Obviously, that would require the employment of teacher aids so students would get needed individual attention.

"We seem to have had a pretty good year this holiday season. noted Keith Fuller, president of the merchants association at Ivy Place, a neighborhood shopping center of about 40 shops at 4700 So. 900 East. A random sampling of some of the merchants there revealed thriving holiday traffic, he explained. "Scruples, our high fashion ladies store, equalled last year's volume, while Spoons N Spice was up considerably this year, he said. "Elephant Walk Gifts was up 25 to 30 percent over last year and Oreck Vacuum Center doubled last years sales. Grandma Vera's gift shop was up a fair amount, although no definite figures are available at this time The Stuft Noodle restaurant's holiday season is up from last year, with more parties and more reservations." he noted. The Amanda Callahan doll shop was also up five to 10 percent over last year and X itch and Things -sellers of knitting machines and supplies - had an "excellent holiday season." he pointed out.
