Names Students and force the area to approach the problem privately." Further Delays An Environmental Impact Statement, Niendorf main-tained. would bring further delays, since there would be conflict as to who prepares the statement. "Does the county do it, as an arm of the state government, or will a private developer be called on to make the statement?" Niendorf suggested that more informational meetings be held and pointed to "the ill health of Orrin Meyer, Calumet Coun ty Agent," as "part of the problem." Meyer, Niendorf said, would have been able to provide more information had he not been ill the past few months when questions were forwarded to several offices concerned with the project.
Niendorf noted that soil conservation personnel, including District Conservationist Bruno 1 1 of Calumet County, would be meeting with Ariens Co. engineers Wednesday in an attempt to resolve differences regarding the drainage ditch. But, he added, the SCS has no direct control over plans advanced by the company. Project sponsors are the Calumet County and Manitowoo County Soil and Water Conservation Districts. At JFK Prep May 4 yetting BRILLION Four town boards have voted not to pay $1,500 as their 2.5 per cent share of the Brillion Watershed pro posal which would control flood ing in the Brillion area.
The towns of Brillion and Rantoul in Calumet County and, tne towns of Rockland and Maple Grove in Manitowoc County contend they don't have enougn stake in the proiect In the Town of Brillion, for example, Louis Rank was told someone would contribute $1,500 from outside the area, but the town board objected to the plan, including construction of dams. Drop Outlet In the Town of Rockland, where Edward Schroeder is chairman, the watershed pro posal includes a drop outlet for Long Lake. The town board, nowever, said it would be will ing to pay its" share if other towns would, but would like to have the county pass a resolu tion to toot the entire bill. The Long Lake Improvement Asso ciation has indicated it may plan an informational meeting next year. District Conservationist Nor man Schmeichel (Manitowoc County) reiterated Tuesday that the watershed was a community project "for the welfare and economy of the City of Bril lion." He added there are not many farmers farming 100 per cent anymore, but "work in in dustry, too, like the Ariens Co.
and the Brillion Iron Works." The Iron Works stands to gain the most from the project, Sch-m i 1 said. Spring Creek comes from the northwest part of the city, flows beneath Highway 10, below the Iron Works plant and then south to the north branch of the Manitowoc River.

It administers the Cuyahoga River Watershed Project in northeast Ohio, a model for teacher-student ecology projects nationwide.
The USOE is the United States Office of Education, which furnished grant money to Fr. Melvln Tracy, Prep science teacher, to develop a student- teacher environmental program.

Sheboygan freshman John Noordover and sophom*ore Gary Head of Stockbndge designed a Nature Trail Program through the woods on the St. Nazianz campus. Many student projects have just begun, including the surveys of gravel pits, salvage yards and erosion in the area.
HEW Funds? Tom Abeles. a member of the Environmental Sciences faculty at UWGB, has submitted a pro posal for HEW funds for region al activities involving students His stated philosophy is very similar to nr. Tracy's that tne educational community should not become the "experts" and lord it over the community-at- large un ecological affairs; that the community must be deeply involved in data gathering, interpretation and decision making. "These are difficult ideas to implement, of course," said Tracy, "but we had to keep trying. Another of Abeles principles I agree with is that students should not simply be used to gather data.
Many times we teachers tend to underestimate the abilities and the insights of our students; we must involve students in every facet of the activity, for their good and that of the community." Tracy is also a believer in teacher-student off-campus learning experiences, and the inter-disciplinary approach. "We have to recognize that in volvement is a kind of learning in itself, and can lead to much deeper knowledge than book learning. But." the priest continued, "it is also true that the-school or home is an environment, and that aesthetics fits into the environmental picture as surely as different forms of pollution." has an electrical plant and furnace which would lose their ability to function if the upper part of the watershed was not protected. In this respect, Schmeichel said "no one can become an island unto himself." Reduce Cost As proposed, the watershed would include a holding structure one mile north of the city, another east of the Larson Canning and an alternate drainage ditch to the northwest. The City of Brillion would bear 80 per cent of project cost totaling $62,530.
The four towns would forward 2.5 per cent each; Calumet County, 7.5 per cent; and Manitowoc County, 2.5 per cent. The Ariens Co. has proposed to construct a reverse drainage ditch for rural land west of the city. They plan to install about 2,200 feet of ditching and have received a permit to begin work. Their proposal reportedly would cut project cost from an original estimated figure of $237,910 to $62,530 or about a $175,380 reduction.
Soil conservation officials, however, maintain the ditch would not be in keeping with guidelines established by the Soil Conservation Service. The SCS added it would not be feasible for a 100-year flood situation and wtuld not be large enough as mandatory under Public Law 566, through which funds are ob tained. Don Niendorf. soil and water conservation specialist for the University of Wisconsin, said Tuesday the Department of Nat ural Resources has taken an op tion on existing easem*nts on Schneider land near the city. He added the proiect would be sub jected to an Environmental Impact Statement in about five months and that "if the project doesn't become a reality, there favoring the proposal to overturn the morning meeting's decision, Hacker said.
Louis Rank had appealed to the morning session that the board go on record favoring the proposal, including construction of dams. The vote lost, 27-20. The 13 evening votes would have made the total 33-27 in favor of the proposal. Quoting from Kirkhuirs let ter, Hacker said, "It Is my opinion that the 10 o'clock meeting, by virtue of custom, would be the controlling meeting with respect to any action taken by the town board where a vote was required. Not Combined "Nor do I feel you can legally put together the two votes on the watershed question; there fore, the vote taken at the 10 o'clock meeting would con trol." Clerk Hacker said the minutes of the 10 o'clock meeting will be official in the clerk's records He has the attorney's letter on file in his office.
A motion at the evening meet ing to change next year's annu al meeting to the evening also will not be legal, Hacker said. so next year's annual meeting will again be held at 10 a.m. the first Tuesday in April.

Planners hope to cover five water sheds with two or three students and a teacher from schools in these areas. The ICYE conference will begin in Lake Geneva move to. Chicago and finish in St.
Na-zianz. Basic Training The purposes of the workshop are to provide basic training in the environmental problems of a watershed for beginners, to organize and provide advanced training for those somewhat experienced in the field and to provide a catalyst for organiza tion of high school activities by watershed. A hoped-for outcome is that participants especially students, will undertake regular monitor ing of the water, air and land in watersheds in Northeastern Wisconsin. The conference agenda in cludes an exercise in water monitoring with instructions on equipment and techniques; and data interpretation sessions geared toward legal and educational lines that can be fol lowed: how students can participate in ecology hearings, how watershed studies can be worked into high school cur ricula and how students can work with concerned citizens and local agencies in a study of their environment. At the completion of the ICYE conference, UNESCO will pub lish the results throughout the world The conference here will be included.
