Being at the Clearfield installation is one very bad experience which I will never forget. I can clearly remember the atmosphere which was a mix-up between Stalag 17, a mental hospital, and jail. I confess that I've never been at any of the three, but it was a living hell. When I arrived at Clearfield, my ideas of learning anything useful vanished due to the very hostile attitude of the "counselors" and the so-called "leaders," who in my ob- Saturday's game is "Family Night" This Saturday's season-ending game between Weber State College and the University of Idaho has been designated "Family Night" by the Wildcat athletic department. A special family group rate of just $1 per person will be available for the contest. "We just wanted to thank the fans of Ogden for their great support this season, and to give as many people as possible one last look at the Wildcats," commented Assistant Athletic Director Richard Ordyna. "The games this year have been fun and exciting, and we can't think of a better way for a family to spend an evening together." The special rate will admit all members of an immediate family to the game. Tickets will be on sale beginning at noon on Saturday at the Dee Center ticket office only. The game will be the last home contest of the season for the Wildcats. " m ' " eww servation couldn't lead a group of Cub Scouts out of a swimming pool on a clear day. In the orientation on our arrival, the director of the center and his "assistants" told us in perspective that if we, the Job Corps students didn't do what we were told, the living hell would be beaten out of us. I can remember a counselor pulling me aside saying that if ANY blacks found out that I was of the L.D.S. faith, my life would be in great danger. This was later brought to my attention when I saw some poor kid who had been hit in the head with a steel pipe and had at least eighty stitches in his head from the assault. There were many incidents of beatings, homosexual rape, and a few near-murders. If there is one place where racial hatred and homosexuality run rampant, I must give the honors to the Clearfield Job Corps Center. I've never in my whole life seen "Men" dressed like spastic "Women" that would turn the heart and stomach of any normal person. I was already a high school graduate when I arrived at Clearfield, which made me a candidate for the college level program called Institute. I was only in the program for a period of three weeks and was removed due to the fact that I was a White Kid, or some other stupid trumped-up false-hood. I personally feel that it was because I was Mormon. The L.D.S. religion is one of the most hated groups in the Job Corps Centers. Due to myself being in the Job Corps, a very good relationship between myself and a very nice L.D.S. girl was brutally destroyed because of my being in the Job Corps. Her parents thought that I was indeed a criminal. And to make matters worse, the directors themselves tried to cut off the relationship between myself and this young lady. I learned nothing at the Job Corps but how to hate and fight. The only thing which I received Feb. 24, 1978 were many mental scars which I will never be able to erase, and the bitterness will always remain with me the longest day that I live. (name withheld) Editor's Note: See Tuesday's Signpost for more letters on the Job Corps issue.) Vet answers Q. I converted my insurance to the VA Modified Life plan. Three years later I became totally disabled and my insurance premiums were waived. At age 65 my insurance will be reduced to $5,000. I have the option to purchase an equal amount of VA Ordinary Life insurance. Will the preminums on this also be waived? A. Yes. In the case of an insured whose premium payments are waived because of total disability, the additional amount of Ordinary Life insurance may be issued, for. which premiums may also be waived because of total disability.
