Additions are contemplated for Olympus and Granite High Schools Two elementary schools are planned for the eastern part of the district; Twin Peaks at 5335 South 1025 East and East Hill View at 4400 South 1400 East The district projects its growth from the present 55,702 load to a student population The need for additional is backed up by the report the Utah School Study Committee made to the Governor in December. According to this document the district will need 243 classrooms to relieve overcrowding m present buildings by 1968, and 663 classrooms for increased enrollment three A grueling night-lon- g vigil in a hospital corridor waiting to learn whether an Olympus Junior High School student would live or die brought stark reality to several southeast Salt Lake parents a week ago, years hence If the bond issue is passed it does not mean that the district will immediately go out and sell the full amount The election is simply an authorization to allow this maximum to be sold over the next two years By state law the district is not allowed to sell more than 13 and one -- third percent of its assesed valuation, and the extent of this won't be known until fall A 13 year old youth labored in shock for most of the night, suffering from acute intoxication He d gulped down nearly half of a fifth of whiskey more than a fatal dose In one, long swallow for the average adult The alcohol had been provided by a companion while of 70,000 by 1970 classrooms Granite Superintendent Elmer D Hart-vigssays that part of the bonds will be sold this fall, but he also states, "My guess is that we wont be able to sell more than The reason for this is eight to 10 million the difficulty of estimating the assesed valuation of the district and thus the legal bonding limit Superintendent Hartvigsen also told the Review he was not sure how much the district's continuing building program, plus state aid would cover of the district's building needs This is because of the Inability to determine in advance the amount of bonds that can be sold, the difficulty of predicting site needs and costs, as well as escalation in building costs Since 1945, the Granite District has spent $54 million on constructing and furnishing buildings, which is the only use to which this bond can go At the end of last year, the district had 49,759 students This amounts to $1089 dollars spent during the last 19 years for each student in school today. This figure compares rather favorably with other Urge districts in the state Computed on the same basis the following are the figures for amount spent per pupil today in buildings over the past twenty years: Alpine, $1269, Davis, 1063; Jordan, 1 925; Weber, 1,127; Salt Lake, 1,193; April can be thought funds program year is involved According to Dr O C England, assistant superintendent for the district, every effort is made to keep the cost of school buildings as low as possible He points out that costs on most schools are running between $11 and $14 per square foot, which he says is reasonable for this type c if building of A as a sort of matching little over $1 million per a September, 1964, report the Utah Foundation, a private tax study group noted, "Perhaps the most apparent fault of present school building policy in Utah is the excessive complexity of the existing state building aid programs The broad objectives, much less the details, of these programs are not understood by many legislators, administrators The result of this and school officials confusion is that some districts receive an loopextra bonus by taking advantage holes in the law, while other distn 's suffer by not fully understanding what they can obtain under the law In Dr England stated that wherever possible standard plans are used in schools, but that such a practice has certain drawbacks, such as site differences and the desire of the district to make the use of the most advanced materials and instructional possibilities in schools The Rtate of Utah helns the Granite District with its building costs by method so complicated that few people - even experts - can understand it mere are three basic types of help: 1 ) continuing support, 2 ) bonding unit aic and 3 ) an alternate program Certain funds will come to Granite under the alternate program if this bond issue is passed, which Mr Hartvigsen stated that the recent legislative session had seen successful attempts to simplify the formula and he feels that the Granite District will obtain its full and fair share this year they were attending a ' camsponsored by paign party another Olympus High student who is seeking class office Sheriffs Department juvenile squad head Sergeant Darrell Brady said, I've never seen a boy so close to death There just wasn't any pulse Sergeant Brady, who helped rush theladtoCottonwood LDS Hospital and later rounded up parents of all involved said-the boy was given the whisk ey by a friend He gulped it down as a lark Deputies haven t learned yet, he said, how the bottle was acquired originally Kids can buy beer anyplace and any alcoholic in front of a liquor store will buy them Sergeant Brady whiskey," said "Thats what makes it so tough " The physician who treated the youth said, "Another 20 minutes and he would have been dead As it was, the boy stayed under an oxygen tent for two days and now at home is on an ulcer diet of half Night For The Cops Wednesday night, April was a bad one for Salt Lake County juven14, ile officers While some30deputies were quelling a nearriot among teenagers at Cottonwood Mall, the real drama was being played several blocks away at Cottonwood LDS Hospital A 13- - year old boy nearly lost his life as the result of an unruly school "cam- " paign party Both incidents involved teenagers and alcohol cream, half milk and strained baby foods It 11 be another week or two before he ran return to classes His father told the Review, 1 would have sworn my boy wouldn't do this GROUPS, at PTA least discash-and-car- ry Facing eviction from their mission home on East Second South, the women offered the judge a cold check instead of warm cash fir their bond The slight technicality knocked the case out of court and could bounce the tenants into the street court room antics is the latest in The sleight what could sbll turn out to be Utah's first civil rights test case Brought to light in the Rocky Mountain Review last week, the case centers around an eviction notice served on the integrated group in February All members of the Penet-cost- al including Church of Apostalic Saints, the 20 tenants 12 Negros claim the notice to get out is because of discrimination Biding for time to fight their battle in court.
