It makes as much sense to admit women today as it did to have it all male when Rotary began. He said with the increasing number of women who own and operate businesses it is logical to admit them to the club and the sooner the better. It needs to be done, he said. Wilcox said he has received no direction from Rotary International instructing him to admit women members but the subject was a matter of prime discussion at a district conference over the where they lived, Wilcox said. They were told further instructions would be forthcoming. He said he felt it would only be a matter of time until other states followed Californias example and legislated action designed to open the club to women if the Rotarians didnt change the policy barring women but Wilcox said he expected the Rotarians to act themselves and change the policy for United States clubs within the year. Rules for Rotary International are mandated and local chapters are bound by those rules, Wilcox said. The Rotary clubs are found in 54 nations. weekend.

The question was whether the Harward said the county readmissible, credible evidence reviewed both the charges against lating to the total circumstance jFrom page 1A According to Burner, other testimony offered in his behalf by Dr. Jack Cox, Dr. Nelson Astle and nurse Nadine Anderson was not taken into account when the board made its decision. They all testified that Reynards head could have hit the ground one time, that is all, Burner said. And even that resulted in a minor injury. According to Helquist, the doctors testimony was taken into consideration by the hearing board. Helquist said, the doctors in their testimony said the bump stories of how many times Reynards head was hit on the cement. He said testimony from witnesses indicated Reynard may have placed his hand between his head and the cement during the confrontation. One witness who said he watched Reynards head hit the cement several times in rapid succession, was Kaysville Officer Ron Barton who had been called to the scene to assist According to his testimony offered last week Barton said, Burner did use excessive force on the Reynard youth. Barton said he viewed the confrontation in its beginning stages from his patrol car parked in front of the Reynard residence. He said he watched Burner hit Smooks Wyatt and has four dren and 22 grandchildren. the Reynards and the telephone didnt substantiate some of the Reynards head to the ground Resign Spencer Wyatt , harassment complaint at the citys request. once, then at least four more times to the cement in rapid succession. Barton said when the confrontation between Burner and Reynard began to escalate he left his vehicle yelling for Burner to control himself. Barton said Burner looked right at him but seemed not to heed his advice. Burner referred to Bartons testimony as colorful and exag- 0CDEN SCHOOL INCLUDES CUT STYLE The Davis Board of Education approved plans last week to accept a patented software licensing agreement, which is anticipated to save school districts statewide more than $1 million each. The software package, capable of regulating the highs and lows of utility costs incurred by districts, has been patented by the Davis School District and will be serviced by two school officials who developed the concept. According to officials, the concept will then be sold to other businesses or school districts for a minimal cost. Superintendent Lawrence Welling said the software package originated five years ago when Assistant Superintendent Dr. Dean Penrod, and veteran physics teacher Bernell Loveridge looked into ways of economizing the districts energy system. Loveridge was hired by the district to coordinate a districtwide energy program, which involved taking an energy audit to determine where the biggest energy adjusted, giving the district more than a 12 to 15 percent savings during the school year. The 12 to 15 percent is equivalent to more than $1 million in utility cost savings. Bonnie Durrance-Doylpublic information officer for the Davis District, said the computerized energy panels in each school are programmed to turn up heat during the cold weather months before people start arriving in the morning and to turn it back down again in the afternoon. e, Doyle said energy savings are made when the demand for lights, heat and fans are reduced by having the computerized system turn things off. She said the computerized system is also tied into fire alarms and oversees security devices that detect people in buildings when they should not be there. District suffers another shortfall FARMINGTON The Davis Board of Education will make up an $800,000 budget shortfall for the 1986-8- 7 fiscal year by borrowing from its capital outlay fund. The board, which announced its proposal at last Tuesdays meeting, made the decision after it was discovered the districts maintenance and operation get had an $800,000 shortfall. School officials said the shortfall stems from money withheld from school districts statewide because of funds the Legislature did not receive from the Intermountain Power Project. Superintendent Lawrence Welling made the recommendation to the board that it borrow funds from the capital outlay budget in order to avoid hurting the students. My recommendation to you is that we use the capital outlay funds," Welling said. This is the better way to go. It is less disruptive to the students and the employees. Board member Henry Heath, who voiced support for the recommendation, said borrowing the money from capital outlay was the best option the district had '...next year, cuts will have to be made Associate Superintendent Dean Penrod available. We have already taken a large chunk of funding from career ladders, he said. The district, has had to make several cuts due to a budget crunch. Associate Superintendent Dean Penrod said he too supported Wellings recommendation, adding, but next year, cuts will have to be made. Penrod said in order for the district to meet the budget and not be faced with a similar problem some items would have to be curtailed. We will have to do asphalting, roofing, and small repairs less fre- quently, he said, and handle just the major problems. Some might say it is not to allow the school facilities not to be reroofed, but we dont have much of a choice, Penrod said. cost-effecti- ve they do, theyre going to be in my position, he said.
