It involved students in real-lif- e situations which skills and a required decision-makin- g basic knowledge of law and government. The program was adopted by the Utah State Board of Education in By Judy Magid Tribune Lifestyle Writer pr v to Law is too important to be left only specialists. Jr ' That is the basic reason for the d V". Utah and Citizenship Education Project, said Nancy N. .v Mathews, director of the statewide $ teaching project. 1 f' IT The kindergarten through 12th grade curriculum provides students with a good understanding of how our system of law works and how our legal institutions function. The programs goal is to have citizens who know about the legal system and how to use it as a means of maintaining their own rights. The program enables people to realize that constructive change can be secured when necessary." Mrs. Mathews said that education programs began to gain interest throughout the country in 1971, when the voting age was lowered to 18. Begin With Basics Suddenly we had a lot of people eligible to vote who were not taking advantage of the opportunity. There were many reasons. Perhaps voters were not informed about rights and responsibilities. Maybe they felt their votes couldn't make a difference. Educators, lawyers and judges decided to address the problem through education in the schools. The Utah program was created in 1974 by former Gov. and Mrs. Scott M. Matheson and U.S. District Court Judge and Mrs. J. Thomas Greene after attending an American Bar Association meeting where a student program was introduced promoting better citizenship and understanding of the legal system. A pilot program was introduced in r v. Law-Relate- 1977. I became involved with the project as a result of a Junior League of Salt Lake City, Inc. task force. We , were investigating projects needing volunteer help. We found this an exciting program, Mrs. Mathews said. Not Minilawyers I was a teacher at Olympus High School and was given permission to incorporate it into my teaching schedule. The goal is not producing a generation of minilawyers, but rather a citizenry that understands individual rights and legal recourse." The project staff, Mrs. Mathews, and assistants Carol B. Lear and Linda J. Oswald, present programs to teachers, administrators and school principals. Although the programs intent was to give children a better understanding of law and legal systems, citizenship was added to the program description. "Citizenship is an umbrella spread over the people, Mrs. Mathews explained. Ethics, values, character education, moral education are the spokes of the umbrella. All are related to the law-relate- d THE law. Many different community resources help present the program. The University of Utah College of Law offers a seminar Teaching Legal Concepts in the Public Schools,' Mrs. Mathews said.

Swinging hair, we called it then, that fell like a curtain over half our face from a neatly placed part. Center parts were reserved for those with classic oval faces that needed no flattering. Here then are answers to some freg questions: quently asked Q. My hair parts in the center and I want to part it on the side. How can I get rid of this natural part? A. All heads of hair have a tendency to "open somewhere, creating a natural part. These openings depend on the growth pattern and the location of cowlicks. To remove that part altogether will require roller setting with a lot of double-strengt- h setting gel.

And the earlier people begin to know about their rights and responsibilities, the better. Most hair stylists discourage changing a natural part and prefer using other styling techniques to create the right look. Q. I have worn my hair parted in the center and pulled back in a bun for many years. Is there any danger of baldness from this style. A. Hair that is tightly pulled back sometimes breaks off at the part, which then becomes much wider than it would normally be. Change the part slightly each day, a fraction of an inch to the right or left of center, and be sure not to put too much tension on your hair when you pull it back.

"Another program is the Mock Trial Competition involving both a Junior and senior high division. In this competition, team members play witnesses, attorneys, clerks and bailiffs. The panels, composed of lawyers, judges and community leaders, judge the performance of student teams. Another part is the court-tou- r program. Students and other civic groups visit courtrooms to observe trials in session. The groups are accompanied by trained voluhteers, qualified to answer questions and offer explanations of court procedures and terminology. There are other enhancements to a mentor program in the project which private law firms work to increase student knowledge and appreciation of the legal system and Utah Close-Uwhich brings hundreds of high school students to Salt Lake City to visit sessions of the Utah State Legislature, Mrs. Mathews said. The field trips are important and worthwhile. But it is the basic program that is vital. Children as early as kindergarten are not too young to learn the concepts of fairness and justice. d The projects encourage them to think, to reason and to question on their level of understanding. For instance, in Jack and the Beanstalk, children are asked, Do you think that Jacks mother should have talked to him that way when he traded the cow for the beans? Was it all right for Jack to steal from the giant? What Are Rules? Classroom rules are established the first day of school. What is a rule? Children should understand the reason and value of rules. Doing or saying things by rote is not enough. Teachers ask, If you pledge allegiance, what does that mean?'
