CONTRARY TO FOUNDATION
PROGRAM PRINCIPLE

The compromise was based upon
giving half of the 1914 million in
crease in the foundation program,
which reflects the normal growth in
school population, to schools upon a
teacher unit basis. The House bill
which gave the entire amount on the
basis of the number of pupils was
killed by the Senate. (See story:
ffMahoney page Id Both plans
are contrary to the foundation pro-
gram which uses need as a factor in
providing equal educational oppor-
tunities where ever school is OPP
Grated in Montana.
The obvious distrust of local school
boards demonstrated by the Republi-
cans was brought to light by Sen.
Arnold Rieder (D-Jefferson) when
he pointed out that the Democratic
plan to raise foundation assistance to
81 per cent instead of the present so
would neon an increase of one per
cent in the budgeting power of local
boards. The foundation program also
controls spending by schedules as
we'll as the raising of revenue. The
Republican plan to give SIT million
on the teacher basis has no such con-
troll.
The joker in the deck stacked
against equalization showed up in
the Wednesday committee report
when 100000 turned up missing.
The conference report recommended
changing figures which were not in
the bill or amendments. The law
making process came to stand still
again. Rule books were consulted
and the State Constitution, which
prohibits appropriation m u r e
transmittal after the fiftieth day of
converting without unanimous con-
sent.

The Republican House engineers"
had cut the University budget two
million dollars under the last bien-
MUM. One of the millions contained
in the rubber" clause to revert
money to the general fund, if en-
rollments did not meet estimates,
snapped back and caught the straight
eight engine from Billings with the
padded figures used by Eastern Mon
tana College of that city. This econ
omy measure is now being erased by
the autocratic House leader, Jerry
Anderson.
The Senate, by show of hands,
demonstrated that they were firmly
behind the states foundation pro-
gram. Their conference committee
members Rex Hibbs and Dave James
had gone along with the House scut-
Ting program in order to get the
session over. On roll call, Hibbs and
James were sustained by 21-22 vote
against motion to reject the con-
ference report.
The other member of the Senate
conferees, Cornie Thiessen, refused to
sign the Wednesday committee re-
port on the basis that the report was
the opening wedge to throw the en-
tire school financing program back
to the days of pork barrel politics.

"Thus, while talking out of both

boy led her onstage for her
one aria. Through the tai
cum of light, she could see
the dinner jackets. the soft
bare shoulders, the arena Of
culture. She died a little.
The orchestra played the
introduction and softly, lilt-
ingly, Ruth Williams began
to sing. For a moment, it
seemed like a timid voice
and then, as it walked the
octaVes ure-footedly, it
swelled with sorrow as it
told the story of the death
of her husband, her son.
Now the old, blind woman
was ready to give the last
man in her family-a boy.
WHEN 1T WAS DONE,
there was silence for a mo-,
ment. Then the opera-goers
came to life. The thunder of
approval was crested by cries
of "BraVo!"
A local newspaper reviewed
the opera the next day and
spent its superlatives on

Tonight, it would take a

ELISA could take it. She used
to boast that she could con-
centrate in a dormitory full

cause they stuck to Hinde-
NTH and Grieg, while I pre-
fer Gerry Mulligan.
I've tried not to annoy her
with my list of complaints,
because we must live-and-
let-live. But If we're trading

THE COUNCILS VIEW
The G.'s are indeed trying
to reconcile split-level Idol
syncrasies with log cabin
auSterities.
We suspect that. after this
honest airing of their gripes,
each will grid anew for the
challenge of Life in a Bread
box. No doubt they realize
that this is an acid test of
their love. If it survives the
contusions-and lack of illu-
sions-of such proximity, it's
a pure unquenchable flame!
AS they endeavor to COM
pile their own rule book, here
are some suggestions: Get
an earphone attachment for
the record-player. plus ear
plugs for the non-listener.
ElisSa's studying should be
pursued mainly at the IL
brary. Each should plan to
be out so that the other has
the apartment alone, for ST.
lence or noise, several times
a week. Most important, try
to Sub-lease and move!
The overall guide for each
could be: What must I not
do? Or. if they prefer: Dis
obey that impulse!

thing you write on the paper
is actually true.
S. Do scratch work on a
separate piece Of paper SO
that your mind is not dis
tracted from the actual steps
of the problem.
AS you get into more ad-
vanced work, you will find
that problems no longer can
be solved at a glance. Then
you must make use of a spe-
cial technique. 1t is based
on this fact: Nearly all COM
plex problems in math can
be solved piece by piece.
Steps That Help
Let's run through the steps
that will help you.
. Write the problem cor
rectly on the paper.
Look at the probl e m,
searching for some small
part of it which you know
how to simplify.
. Simplify it.
. Rewrite the problem with
that work shown on it.
. Now look at the problem
again. Is there another little
part of the problem you can
deal with?
Usually there is. This proc
ess normally results in the
solution of very complicated
problems - without a single
complicated move on your
part.
Superior and gifted stu
dents too often are able to
solve simple problems with
out the use of these tech
niqueS. They are shocked
when their grades suddenly
drop from "A"s to "C"s or
lower when they reach COL
lege-level math courses
Ironically, their brightness is
a curse to them until they
discover or are shown the
simple learning processes
which will permit them to
do the work of which they
are capable.
Millions of boys and girls
in public schools and colleges
do not know how to solve
problems. They are the sad
victims of an age that knows
how to measure 1/10,000th
Of an inch but neglects to
tell boys and girls how to
arrange numbers in a neat
and orderly column.
But now you know a secret
that can help you avoid the
pitfalls which await the
careless and unwary.
In the next chapter we are
going to tell you some more
secrets that will help you on
examination day.

is not necessarily the fault
OF the schools. 1t is a con-
sequence of an exploding
school-age population and
shortages of teachers and
claSSrooms.
Teaching techniqueS are
designed for classes of 35, 40,
so students. Potentially good
students get into bad habits
and are not exposed to good
habits. Training in neatness
is drastically curtailed by
punch-card tests made for
rapid grading. All tests can
not be of this type. however,
and when the student faces
new situations, he is in
trouble. Good scholarship be-
comes impossible.
Recently on grade card
day, a father brought his 10
year-old son to us.
Jimmy's card bore a hard
and uncompromising need to
improve behind arithmetic.
Translated to the less COM
promising language of 20
years ago. the grade was F
standing for Failure.
The boy seemed bright
enough. We decided to ex-

some columns Of addition,
some subtraction, and some

the problems rapidly and
faultlessly!

Of the trouble was immedi-
atley apparent-so obvious
that you would wonder why

hadn't seen it.

the intricate processes of

OSCAR ROBERTSON NAMED MOST
VALUABLE PLAYER IN EAST-WEST CAME

syracuse, ~. Y. (ANP) - oscar
Robertson showed here last week
that his eminence in the profess
sionsf basketball ranks can no
longer be doubted.
FITTING his skill against the best
in the National Basketball Associ-
alton, the rookie for the Cincinnati
Royals was acclaimed the most
valuable player in the 18th annual
MIA All-Star game as the West

IA assists tying the record set by
Bob Cousy, Of the Boston Celtics.
Big Thrill For Star
Robertson's brilliant ball-hawk-
ing and shooting in the first quar-
ter sent the West to an astounding
47-to-19 lead and the East never
recovered. Oscar scored Is points,
one shorter of the record of IA for
a quarter He also contributed sew
eral neat assists.
On the defense boards, Robert
son took rebounds away from the
rebounding masters, Wilt Chamber

and Bill Russell, Of the Celtics.

East cause.
One of Robertson's abettors was
Elgin Baylor, the scoring ace Of

the West team was Robertson's
