 so Most of the student’s lives are spent at school. Since school can be monotonous, people are always doing unusual things to liven things up. Lunch is usually the time when students really realize how boring life is. There are all sorts of different things to do during lunch to make life more in- teresting: chase an unwinding ball of yarn down the hall, rip your pants, steal croutons from the salad bar, watch the beaver parade, randomly throw a tennis ball down the hall and see who gets hit, play animal games on a computer, play leapfrog, do cartwheels in the hall, have a whip- ped cream fight with the insides of an alligator, get thrown in a garbage can, drinking fountain, or the snow, or you could always change your dressing standards and wear towel diapers. After arriving home from school, naturally students try to relax in various ways: change their clothes, be athletic, eat, sleep, watch Scooby Doo, He-Man, M A S H and Three’s Company, look for any mail (not male], or read Dear Abby, Ann Landers and the comics, but at ail costs ignore their homework.

 CURRENT EVENTS Local Local news became national news in Utah in 1983 and 84 as major Hooding literally changed the face of the state. A mudslide in Spanish Fork Ca- nyon dumped millions of tons of mud and gravel, backing up the Spanish Fork River and causing a 3-milc long lake to bury the tiny town of Thistle, Utah. Major slides in Bountiful and Farmington destroyed more homes and caused millions of dollars worth of damage. State Street and 13th South in Salt Lake City were converted into alter- nate river routes to help ease the burden on the Jor- dan River. Sandbagging efforts of community members throughout the state minimized damage drastically. The water level of Utah Lake rose above the freeway level causing a need for dikes to be built. I;veil more serious flooding was predicted for the spring of 1984. The arrest of Arthur Gary Bishop, accused murderer and kidnapper of five young Utah boys became a major issue also. Because of press coverage, potential “unbiased” jurors were hard to find. Springville was also chosen as the sight for a new Stouffers Foods Corp. plant. A 2.3 million dollar grant from the federal government was secured to aid in providing utilities to the plant which would provide hundreds of new jobs. The quality of education became a major issue on a national basis also. Many citizens became con- cerned with the quality of teachers and education available to students. Most arc looking towards a major overhaul of the system. (Lynnae Whiting) Breek Bartholomew Brcck Bartholomew Breek Bartholomew 18 LOCAL NEWS
