Show j The Salina Sun You Wednesday. Mnv IS. lOftft a and Your Child: Success in School by JIM CAMPBELL Utah Education Association President 1 8 Only 17 percent of Americas to 24 year old voters cast ballots in the 1986 election, and a company called General Dynamics thinks thats shocking. But General Dynamics isnt in shock. The company is doing something about getting young people to vote. They call it the Vote America Project, and theyre providing teaching materials to 25,000 high schools across the country. Theres more. The company is also supplying personal registration and voting booklets to more than a half million voting age students. Th3 goal is to register every one of them - and encourage them to become informed voters. Theres even more. General Dynamics is running a national TV campaign to encourage older voters, too. Thats because slightly more than half the eligible American vot ers - 53 percent - actually cast ballots in the 1986 election. General Dynamics, in an advertisement about the Vote America Project, stated: ...when a government is OF half the people and BY half the people, sooner or later the worst thing happens. It becomes FOR half the people. And no American would vote for that. Utahs percentage of voting voters has been higher than the national average, but slipping in recent years. Young people tend to watch their parents behavior and do as Mom and Dad do. That means the coming primary and general elections provide a shining opportunity to teach youth of the voting age how important the act of voting is. Simply invite them to go to the with polls you. But remember - they must be registered to vote. stu- Foreign Exchange dents are honored Four Foreign Exchange stu- dents living in the Salina area, attended a reception honoring all exchange students in Utah recently.

Notes from NS High School Principal Timothy Smith notes that a question had arisen concerning fees that students are required to pay at the time of registration - specifically, the athletic fees. The Board of Education, several years ago, approved a districtfee to help offset wide the costs of athletic fees. This money is used for several things, such as uniform parts that students do not purchase for themselves; referees when gate receipts do not cover the expense; entrance fees pay-to-pl- for tournaments; and expenses for teams that do not have any gate receipts. At the end of the year, any money left in the account is divided on a participation percentage between the Girls and Boys programs. With only a few school days remaining, we congratulate all students who have received honors or recognition for their individual performances, whether it be academic, athletic, or social.
