We can continue watching youth gangs do more drugs and drivc-bshootings. Or we can change the driver's license age to IS with a temporary permit, after driver's training, for graduating seniors who are clean citizens at school and on the police records. Generally, dads agree with the solution, but chauffeur mothers do not. We can change it to win-wiby being willing to spend our bucks on a reasonably reduced activity bus schedule for those more than a mile from school. Can we restore a time of wholesome youth vs. forced adulthood on our children? bike it or not, the auto can be permitted like the Pied Piper to continue to destroy our youths and our educational system. Do we wish to continue to pour tax money down a rat hole called education, or are we willing to bite the bullet and restore order? Utah's questionable compulsory laws can be removed by changing the driver's license age. Also, without restoring total control of finding to the county (parent) level. The days of public education are numbered. I suggest parents walk across the BYU campus and see how many' of the more mature youths use bicycles vs. cars, while dedicated to their educational objectiv es. v n run-abo- Walter C.

By HOLLY BRAITHWAITE oriMON rniruKnii: diii:sl Being in St. George, it is sometimes difficult to know what is going on in other places. We are all caught in red rock time warp that hinders us from believing what is going in the world around us. Consequently, we hear about events on the news and have a tough time realizing how these events aflect the common per- when the biker carrying il v gravel and torched the tokh Rumor has it he had to flick f Bic until he got a new totv.li ruin. I think that is perfectly that Bart Connor and N.id Comeniche were in Salt ake run the torch. also think that a is just duckv that Salt Lake to host The Games in 2iVC don't feel that the lowever, lives of native Salt Lakers (us, son. am from Salt Lake) need to Okay, three words: Stupid Olympic torch. This past weekend, Salt Lake City hosted the arrival of the Olympic torch as it made its way to Atlanta for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. My question is: why do we have deal with Olympic spirit" now? It is just going to be all over us in six years like a really bad velour pullover sweater. The city streets were blocked off, the freeways were congested, and I had an appointment that required punctuality. Is it too much to ask that I can drive to a destination in Salt Lake without running into a bizillion (that was the actual figure, I know, counted) people celebrating a flame that never goes out? Oh wait, my bad, I believe the torch went out in Washington 1 I splci-di- L U I be thrown into a gigantic international upheaval just so that a couple of. ski jumpers and iu for a world skaters can 1 compete title. It's not like the torch just sits there at the City and Count) building for one night, either. There has to be some big citywide celebration that just ends ot up to be a big nonsense full firew'orks and people making complete idiots out of themselves. Gee, I thought Salt Lake the already did that one at three-da- y announceOlympic ment party this past summer. As if driving in Salt Lake isn t bad enough, now we have this whole crowded Olympic thing to look forward to. If this "spirit" is a foreshadowing of thing' to come, I think I'll really consider renting that condo in Aruba to escape from it all. 1. I h ), 1. i, |
