It is this Board that Principal Ron Wolff was recently appointed to. He describes the association as bsing organized into three divisions that rule over the music, athletics, drama, debate, and drill team activities for high school. The first is that of the legislative council This council meets twice1 a year and set and the bask policies, by-lareclassification of schools whether . t they are 1, 2, 3 or 4A. This is made up of a school board v representative from each of the states 13 regions. Keith Nielsen was appointed to this committee recently . t for region 9. Art Taylor has served in region 10 for two years. The second segment of the association is that of the Board of Directors. One principal from each region is chosen to serve on this board. Ron Wolff is representing region 9. This group is the general overseer of the Athletic Association and has the responsibility for the implementas of the tion of the rules and association. This is the group that runs the activities program of the state,' said Wolff.is The third area that of the board of managers where each regions principals meet to organize their region and decide how they are to and policies of carry out the by-lathe association. Wolff is also on this ' board. Wolff sees this appointment as an by-law- - opportunity to make sure state activities and programs are organized and run effectively. This association is responsible for all state championships. Also deciding was to what activities will be recognized by the state for competition. He feels that with his involvement' . He said there was a move this year to move once a year events to Saturdays like region drama meets, musk festivals and drill team. He said that it would be a fight against tradition to move major sports events but it would be up to this board if they wanted to or not-Thiyear the State 2A Basketball 'tournament will be held the same weekend as the state 1A competition as a decision made by the Utah State on this board he can see that the state meets the needs of the individual anas in their athletic and activity involvement. He said that any activity has to be reviewed for how much it will cost .the school in equipment and staff and for transportation and also how much school time will be missed to because of the activity before it is implemented into a school. You have to decide what is best for the schools without destroying the activity program which is an important program of the secondary schools," said Wolff. Some of the areas he will be s Athletics Association. This added two full weeks to the already long enough 2A region play schedule waa the .result Drill team competition and soccer have recently been added as. state activity programs. Wolff stated that programs are easily added by' the concerned with is that of the regions to cut transportation costa as best as possible. Also to evaluate all activities to see that it is designed to meet the needs of the state because of the Wasatch Front schools and their shorter traveling distances and out of school time. Ultimately what the state adopts does not have to be implemented at the school if a principal decides that it is not cost effective or then is too much out of school time involved. We would have to cut out a couple of programs if we were to add something like soccer at Union, said community and students. There are other concerns that need eh writing according to Wolff. Eligibility of transferring students is one. He explained that when a student moves without his or hers parents, an interview with the Activities Associations hardship committee is needed to determine whether this student is wligrihlw or not to perform for that school in state activities, ; He said that he would check on this procedure for its fairness and equality. Also he has the desire to see that the girls athletic programs cm the state level. For instance the quality of the state tournament cites as well as the organization and publicity of those activities. Scheduling is another area that most regions are concerning themselves with as they try to please the and communities as well as Cblicstudents in school as much as possible. Wolff said that the scheduling of activities as to which day of the weds it falls on comes from the decision of the region board of directors. . Wolff. Financing of the State Association comes from dues, assessed to each school It is only $15 for 1A and 2A schools and 320 for 3 and 4A schools. The net of their money comes from the gate receipts of the state Football wrestling and basket, ball tournaments. The region costs to schools an a different story. Each school in Region 9 is assessed $500 which for Union amounts to about $1 per student For smaller schools in the region it would be more on the per student ratio. The regions activities budget will run about $0,000 this year. This will pay for all region tournaments officials, ribbons, medals, and whatever other expense occurred to run . v' pointed out that many activities like debate, drama and musk do not raise any gate receipts so they depend a lot on athletics and their tournaments to generate enough money to run the association and it's activities. .
