Show Page Four THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1972 State Board of Higher Education Releases Findings in Statement Utahs public higher education reached institutions in 1970-7- 1 an all time high in students enrolled and number of degrees conferred, but the explosive rate, characteristic since World War II has begun to taper off, according to the Second Annual tfrrTr111 Report of the State Board of Higher Education released by the Office of the Commissioner. The 185 page summary of statistics and events of the 1970-7- 1 fiscal year shows Utah in the following positions in relationship to the rest of the U.S.: (Continued from page 1) Surging forward in number of research training grants If the rat is able to take action to avoid or escpae received by and two state unithe the shock entirely, he will develop fewer ulcers than the versities, while most of the na- Want to Prevent an Ulcer?

Intra state relationships drawn from the Report also point out some of Utahs distinctive higher education features. Studies relating high school graduates to freshmen enrollments and relating live births to high school graduates, indicate that the late 1970s and early 1980s will see Utahs post high school enrollments level off and possibly even decline. As BYU enrolls fewer Utah residents the state institutions may carry an ever increasing number of students. We are extremely pleased to present to the Governor, the Legislature and the citizens of Utah this detailed information and we hope it will be especially helpful to the states policy makers, G. Homer Durham, Utah Commissioner of Higher Education, said in introducing the report. Amy PFC Brent W. Dunnigan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Dunnigan, .930 East 4500 South, was assigned to the 171st Infantry Brigade at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. He is a records clerk of Company A, 171st Support Battalion of the Brigade. He entered the Army in March 1971 and was last stationed at Fort Ord, Calif. Army PFC Evan R. Herbert, son of Mr. and rMs. Evan Herbert of 4971 W. Moor Road, recently was assigned to the 31st Artillery Brigade at Homestead Air Force Base, Fla. He is a military policeman with Battery A and entered the Army in June 1971. He is a 1971 graduate of Cottonwood High School.

Many drums of wastes the visible part of the spectrum to see the invisible have also washed ashore along the Dutch coast. the North Sea rainbow. Even though the presence of an infrared is predictable, there is, he says, a fascination in for the first time an infrared rainbow which has the sky undetected since before the presence rainbow seeing hung in of man on earth. At Least Neutral One public relations executive put into words the climate in which business operates today when he said, you cant whitewash a garbage dump. Any organization must be able, in effect, .to go into the court of public opinion with dean plants. It is therefore only common sense for a firm to analyze and inventory where it now stands on air, noise and even visual pollution and either clean up, or be able to convince the public it is pursuing a program of determined action aimed at doing so. It is no longer enough simply to prove we need a particular companys products or services. Managements are being held responsible for their organizations total impact on the community. If this cannot be positive in all respects, it should at least be neutral. For impart now that industry is recognizing its obligations in the environmental field the public has no choice but to accept its share of the costs of the new standards that are a part of every business operation in the country. Since the drums containing the wastes eventually corrode and spill their contents into the sea the nature of the chemicals released has important implications for possible destruction of marine life. The National Institute of Pnblic Health in Utretcht, Netherlands reports in Science Magazine his analyses of samples taken from drums dropped into the sea. Most of the chemicals he identified were of a persistent nature and were lethal to fish even when greatly diluted. The number of drums dropped into the sea is not known exactly, but some estimates run to several tens of thousands. Plans are being made to clear drums from at least the intensely fished areas and to bum the contents. th-e- I EASED GRAPEVINE Another of Salt Lake City programs may go by the wayside if funds are not found. The program is the LEAP program at the Nettie Gregory Center for disadvantaged and minority students after school. The program helps the youth to become accustomed to responsibility and help in the fields of helping the others as school tutors and working in jobs at the center. The center obtained its first monies of $150,000 from a Model Cities grant. . Salt Lake City Commission is expected to appoint a new city prosecuting attorney this week. Appointment of John Spencer Snow, 27, is as assistant city prosecutor. Mr. Snow, who has been employed by a Washington D.C., law firm, will replace Michael Esplin, who resigned effective Jan. 15 after serving two years. The appointment is effective Jan. 20 and the pay is $920 a month. Ralph Y. McClure, Salt Lake County Commissioner, proposed to increase Salt Lake County Commission meetings from two to three days a week, lost by a deadlock vote. Commissioner Blomquist voted against the proposal and Commissioner Dunn abstained. The commissioners formerly met on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. For more than two years they have only met on Mondays and Wednesdays. The reserve police force of Salt Lake City may become a thing of the past. The new Chief of Police, Earl Jones, has said to do away with the reserves and replace them with a group of persons interested in becoming full time police officers. The push is for more professional and more dedicated persons for career positions of police officers. Salt Lake Safety Council and Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce has made a proposal to establish bike routes in Salt Lake City. The proposed routes would be on 15th East between 2100 South and Sunnyside Ave. for the University of Utah students and the other in Liberty Park, using the north and south loop. The problem with such, according to Jess Agraz, city traffic manager, is what percentage of persons would use them and what is the predicted cost of the routes.
