Mrs. Rampton gave her remarks at the opening of the Perspectives on Women in 74 seminar at the University of Utah. She said that women have needs and goals as varied as those of men and most fall somewhere between the two extremes. Mrs. said that Rampton women have traditionally been civilizers and nurturers of life and because of this can make special contributions to society. We can remember that not only high adventure, great faith and raw courage moved across the Atlantic and the Alleghenies and the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains. Standards of excellence moved, too, in culture enrichment, in quality of workmanship, in community cooperation, in human character, including public and private honesty.

This was the word given from the three governors with Utahs Governor Calvin L. Hampton representing the group. Governor Rampton made the comment in a letter to John C. Sawhill, administrator of the Federal Energy Administration. The governor in his letter said that he was disappointed in the amount of work done by the federal government on research on liquefaction of coal and developing techniques for processing oil shale. The governor also said that some of the best work in coal liquefaction was done by Dr. George Hill, former head of the University of Utah School of Mines, who was able to obtain liquid petroleum fromm coal at a cost of only about 50 percent above the market price of petroleum obtained from conventional sources. Even in the pilot plant program the cost of processing would be substantially reduced. The governor also went on to say that Utah attempted to interest the federal government in erecting a pilot program in Carbon County but the request was denied because a similar plant was being constructed elsewhere. The processes being tested at the other plant were of little value to Utah since the sulDhur content of Utah coal is much d, re-electi- on 3-- 71 0-110- 18, 1974 Gerald Hansen Seeking Reelection as County Auditor ' Gerald 'R. Gerald R. . R. Jerry Hansen Jerry Hansen is a native of Utah. Hansen graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelor of Science Degree and went on to receive his LLB from the University of Utah Law School. Hansen has served as an Assistant Attorney General for Utah and as a Deputy County Attorney for Salt Lake County. He was elected Salt Lake County Auditor in 1970. Hansens broad background, not only in financial areas but also in law, political sceince, and government, make him eminently qualified to serve a second term as Salt Lake County Auditor. "The days in which an elected Auditor could be typified by a man wearing green eyeshades and armbands, if indeed those days ever existed, have certainly passed. Todays elected Auditor must have a broad background in public administration, political science, law, accounting, and auditing. The chief responsibility of an elected official is to- serve as an ombudsman of the- people. An elected official of Salt Lake County must have a broad knowledge of the problems of the County. I believe that my background has served me well during my first term as County Auditor in working towards what I believed to be absolutely necessary reforms. I have found County government service to not be a picnic and to require from its responsible officials hard work on a more than full-tim- e basis head-on involving taking problems and providing firm leadership in their solution. I found there are times when the public god requires me to fight against governmental stupidity and I will continue to do so. During my first term I achieved the reorganization of County land acquisition politcies and changed questionable land purchasing procedures. I led the fight for, and won, the effort to cut Salt Lake County taxes in 1972 and 1973, and I maintained that tax cut in 1974 massive inflation.
