THE DRESS CODE WAS THE FOCUS OF STUDENT COMMUNICATION. I'm so glad that we finally got to wear pants.'' The change was okay for the girls but the boys didn't get anything but more pressure.' ’Til be glad when we find some- thing else to talk about.' In November the Uintah County School Board revised their tradition- ally conservative dress code. The change came following countless meetings with students and parents, pressure from the Ute Indian Tribe and a community wide opinion poll. The change allowed girls to wear nice pant suits” but boys were still restricted on the length of their hair. 8 THEME

'I haven't met one I didn't like. People in this school are judged by their ap- pearance not by their ideas. We could end this gap by controlled rap ses- sions. 3 minute rounds each. Boys with short hair have strict parents. They're stubborn and bull-headed. Hippies are more sen- sitive. They're all the same, they just dress different. I hate them. They are ignorant and disgusting.' If they were my kids. I would kick the crap out of them. The kids at this school should let each person dress, act. and talk the way they choose and quit trying to group everyone into these two groups, and they should- n't put anyone down for it. THEME 9
