It is also clear that its accessability from Salma's Main Street will make the business section of town a litter spot, Equally clear is the fact that parking for the cemetery will ho adversely affected. It is Moving the landfill is out of the question. Too much federal mone has gone into the project. Modifying the access road to spare cemetery parking, as Councilman Badge Hansen suggested and as 21 persons at Tuesdays public' lionring agreed with, is a good idea and an inexpensive one. But it is r.) the best because it does not solve the other two problems. The best pi oposal is the one 30 persons agreed with. Wrap the access road around to just above the rodeo grounds so that the cemetery can have its parking and avoid the clutter and so Main Street can avoid the litter of garbage falling off of trucks taking a load to the dump. This proposal will cost more, but we believe that future citizens not to mention some current residents will thank the g decision with other concity lathers for making a siderations in mind than just economic.

They wear their hair in a natural the wind blown way look and they tend to inhabit the student center patio or sprawl out on the quad.

Of course these four categories, Joe Study, Joe Preppy, Joe Granola and Joe Average are widespread and it is merely first impressions that dictate which group a person will fit in.

There're categories for any type a person immaginable: scientist, Playboy," housewife, chemist, grandma, or mechanic. If we all dipped into our pool of friends we would find that there is much more to a person than what he wears, how he looks and what his study habits are. We are all individuals.

In 1972, Public Law 2 was passed by Congress requiring free and appropriate education of all school-ag- e handicapped children up to 21 years of age for an education within limits of his or her capabilities. Before this law was passed, programs were started as day care centers in the late 60s.

Each girl was asked individually to answer Who are the Jayceeettes? Each contestant did a double take when the question was asked her. The first one to answer made her response short and sweet. The second finalist started naming all the Jayceeettes she could think of, which prompted giggles from the audience. The third contestant then came out, heard the question, turned to the emcees and You dont want me to whispered, name them, do you? The Jayceeettes, incidentally, are members of the auxiliary organization of the Jaycees and are dedicated to leadership training of young women through community projects such as the Miss North Sevier Pageant.
