Your Right To now John Peter Zenger was tried in 1733 on a charge of libel for writing "Scurrilous, Scandalous, and Virulent Reflections" upon Governor Cosby of New York. The sturies he wrote in the "Weekly New York Journal" reported how the Governor used his power to take liberty and property away from people to make himself more powerful and wealthy. weal-thy. His defense attorney, Alexander Hamilton, presented pre-sented a vigorous and appealing ap-pealing argument to the jury that resulted in acquittal ac-quittal for Zenger, and the establishment of truth as a defense against libel. Hamilton appealed to the jury to acknowledge the truth of the articles and set his client free with an argument ending with these words: ". . . you will have laid a nobel foundation for securing to ourselves, our posterity, pos-terity, and our neighbors, that to which nature and the laws of our country have given us a right-the liberty-both of exposing and opposing arbitrary power in those parts of the world at least, by speaking and writing truth."

FIFTKKN CKNTS Committee Approved By City Council The Orem City Council approved the formation of a sevenperson Community Commun-ity DevelopmentCommit-tee DevelopmentCommit-tee at Tuesday's council .meeting. ,, City officials explained' that the city is applying for $556,000 in the form of a direct grant from the federal government. Each annual application requires citizen input from representative citizens cit-izens who are intimately involved with the process pro-cess of deciding where the community development develop-ment funds can be spent to do the most good for Orem. In the past these funds have been used for such things as street improvement improve-ment and park beatification. beatifica-tion. Mayor Mangum said he wondered whether or not the committee could be expanded at a later date if the council desired, and was informed that such enlargement would be perfectly acceptable. Councilman Gareth Seastrand asked, "Has the money been approved by Congress yet?" City Manager Man-ager Al Haines replied, Yes," and the council voted toapprove the Community Com-munity Development Block GrantCitizensCom mittee as proposed. 'Max'- .

"Within the next year," says Orem City Manager Albert E. Haines, "Orem will reach the 'magic figure' of 60,000 residents." Because state law requires re-quires that cities of this size adopt a new form of city government, a special spe-cial citizens' committee has been named to study the different options. Mayor James E. Mangum described this committee by saying, "it will be an advisory committee com-mittee which will analyze evaluate, and make recommendations rec-ommendations concerning concern-ing the best new governmental govern-mental form." The 13 citizens named to the city government research committee at Tuesday's Orem City Council Meeting are: Bill Baker, Laird Billings, Doyle Buckwalter, Fed Dillenbeck, Judy Dimick, Vern Greenland, Rus Horiuchi, Jack Mervis, Alta Morrill, Stan Neele-man, Neele-man, Murray Rawson, Harold Smith, and Gary Weight. "I've attempted to get a cross-section throughout the community," com-munity," Mayor Mangum said after he read the names of proposed committee com-mittee members. "That has been quite a task," he added. The Mayor indicated that as he began studying the laws concerning the formation and function func-tion of such a committee he discovered that it was more influential than the Prayer In Schools Issue At Meeting A possible suit over prayer in the schools was discussed inlastWednes-day's inlastWednes-day's meeting of the Alpine Al-pine School Board. With PresidentDan Evans Ev-ans presiding, Superin-tendant Superin-tendant Dan Peterson informed in-formed the board that a letter from concerned parents complained of their child being in a class opened each day with a prayer. The letter implied that, while no one religion is mentioned, asking the childrento fold their arms is promulgating pro-mulgating the beliefs of the dominant religion in the valley. Peterson mentioned that seventy-two percent of all the teachers in the elementary school choose to begin their school day with prayer. The letter states that a school board policy permitting such a practice of conducting vocal vo-cal prayers in the class City Council had initially anticipated. "My feeling is that this is of the nature that we need to expand representation," he said. The Orem City Council Coun-cil proposes to provide the committee copies of pertinent state laws and city ordinances to form a foundation upon which the eventual recommendation recommen-dation can be built. It is expected that the committee com-mittee will then interview knowledgeable city officials, of-ficials, other regular citi zens, and do extensive research into the various alternatives. Basically the state outlines the following forms of city government for cities of corresponding size. Third class cities have a nonvoting mayor and five councilmen. Second class cities have a three member commission commis-sion (including mayor) plus a full-time auditor. (Orem's current city manager form of government govern-ment is the result of a city ordinance.) First class cities have a commission com-mission form of government govern-ment with an elected auditor. According to City Manager Haines the state -enacted the Optional Form of Government Iw , a few years ago, whic ( gives cities additional latitude in their choice of government. The mayor-council option and the council-manager council-manager form of government govern-ment are options for second class cities under this law. The committee will investigate these two plans which are subject to modification to fit the room is unconstitutional. Peterson said there is no such policy in the district dis-trict either permitting or prohibiting any type of religious activity in the classroom. Pershing Nelson, attorney attor-ney for the district, said, the constitution makes it clear that no public institution in-stitution can either inhibit, in-hibit, or promulgate one religion over another". He added that for the district dis-trict to prohibit teachers and students from opening their day with prayer would be as unconstitutional unconstitu-tional as actively encouraging encour-aging support for one religion. re-ligion. The board concluded that it was unwise to make any decisions concerning the matter at this time. The letter suggested possible pos-sible legal action by the American Civil Liberties Union. needs of the city, as well as the commission form. If the city does nothing to adopt an alternate alter-nate form, state law requires re-quires the adoption of the commission form by default. de-fault. This citizens' committee com-mittee is important to the future of Orem because it will review the various options and will present only one proposal to the citizens of Orem for a vote. The voting will be conducted at a special election to be held later this year- Mayor Mangum sa'd that state law forbids the votin on a proposed form of city government from occurring simul- taneously with a regular political election.
