Show Can US. Take Comparison? work on down until we achieve complete freedom for individuals, individu-als, which will mean that I will have independence and THEN, dammit all to hell, I'll hold a Model UN all toy myself my-self with no worry about what the fools will say. Neil Rollins sionaries do find time to visit the opera, plays, and other such productions. Since then it has been brought forcibly to my recollection that the audiences there were most polite and appreciative, ap-preciative, which brings me to my original observation. Last Wednesday night there were people who had the gall to arrive fifteen to twenty minutes late, and then complain com-plain because they had trouble finding their seats in the dark. Anyone who has attended a symphony In the Tabernacle has experienced the same thing many times. I WONDER how guest performers per-formers feel, and what kind of reports they take to people in other cities. One thing to be happy about: the worst offenders are generally gen-erally people not in school, so T guess the students at the 'IT' arent completely without culture cul-ture and manners. Mack Patten Dear Editor I want to congratulate the Chronicle for the views expressed ex-pressed in Its editorial of April 21, regarding the Model UN. THE ARTICLE Is a good, factual fac-tual refutation of the mad obsessions ob-sessions of some misguided patriots pa-triots who think that it is impossible im-possible to love one's country and at the same time to understand under-stand others. The fear they express that young "impressionable" minds may become subverted by an intensive study of the international interna-tional scene is perhaps only a projection of their own susceptibility suscep-tibility to half-truths and slogans. slo-gans. In that sense, their polemics pole-mics against the Model UN a-mount a-mount to a vote of non-confidence in the younger generation. genera-tion. Or are their incoherent ramblings based upon a vague fear that the U.S. cannot stand the test of comparison with other countries? L for one, cannot detect any such weakness either in the younger generation or the country. Dr. Robert E. Helbling Associate Professor, Humanities & Languages Discourteous? Dear Editor I was not aware until reading read-ing Tuesday's Chronicle that federal codes forbad treating foreign flags as equal in status sta-tus to the U.S. flag anyplace except UN territory. I WOULD be pleased if it were possible for Americans to extend this courtesy, even at unofficial functions such as the Model United Nations; and !I would have been much more impressed if Gov. Clyde and Rep. Smith had acted with silent, courtesy instead of with discourtous patriotism. Francis Andrew Hart Missed Point? Dear Editor I agree wholeheartedly with Representative Smith's stand on the Model UN as a force which will ultimately corrupt the youth of Utah. However, I suspect that the main point went right by Mr. Smith's head, and has been gofcig by his cot stitufnra tnr dmk 'Public Law' Dear Editor An extract from Public Law 623, 77th Congress, reads: "WHEN THE flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate flagstaff s of the same height. "The flags should be of ap- Jr. Chasteners? Dear Editor Well, the smirking Junior Chasteners are still at it. Now they are protecting our monolithic mono-lithic purity from contamina tion by the Model UN, attacking attack-ing reason, as usual, with fatuous fatu-ous irrelevancies. Let us then leave the corpse of logic where it lies. NO PORTRAYALS of un-Ut-ah can peacefully be presented here, un-Utah being the thin line around the state referred to as "the world." Utah needs a new honorary society. I suggest "Greater League of Utah's Glorious Pompous Pom-pous Boors," to be called, for short, -'Glug-puh-buh." I have in mind candidates for both Senior and Junior Divisions. Div-isions. Ethel C. Hale I wonder if these good people peo-ple are aware of how far the sovereign state of Utah has been subverted by the U.S. government? Are these good people aware of the fact that the UiS. flag almost always fiies above that of the state of Utah, right here in Utah? THIS STRIKES me as an unbearable un-bearable insult, and I feel that Mr. Smith should launch an investigation in-vestigation of this sad practice prac-tice in the next legislature. Another gross mispractice that is going on under our very noses is that of the Salt Lake Tribune flying the Utah nag ON THT: SAME LEVEL as that of the other intermountain states on Main Street Salt Lake City. THESE REPREHENSIBLE actions ac-tions undoubtedly can be traced trac-ed directly to a rash of Model U.S. Congresses conducted by the high schools of the state during the fete 19th Century. After this battle is won, we can then forge on to the matter of the counties, then the cities, and may even eventually a-chieve a-chieve sovereignty for the 8th Rowdy Playgoers Dear Editor Last Wednesday night I attended at-tended the production of "Henry IV," and, as a result, I would like to make a few observations, not about the play, but rather, the audience.
