Show Editorial The iJew Odor What with the '68 elections just around the cornefand all, the scramble for headlines and publicity already beckons otherwise modest men who now can be seen looking under all sorts of rugs for anything that might get their names into print. The Chronicle believes in giving credit where it is clue, and so we must acknowledge the amazing performance of no less august a figure than Utah's own distinguished attorney at-torney general, who, after a round of tooting his own horn that would leave most men panting for breath, seems to have been affected by the strain not in the least. It had been our impression that the attorney general would do ALMOST anything to keep his name before the public. We we're wrong, and we now take that back. We make specific reference to Mr. Hansen's clawing his way into the Giddings affair and freezing payment on the remainder of Giddings' contract In a touch and go situation that had been carefully and delicately approached by the University, Phil Hansen rushed in where angels fear to tread and managed adroitly in his own way to leave a singular stink in the wake of an already dirty little affair. It was a lousy trick ! The Utah Bleacher Quarterbacks are to be commended for their assistance in this matter, and their concern for the - U of U honor is sterling to the tune of $16,000 which they've arranged to donate to the University to settle the contract as apparenly had been previously agreed upon. It's heart- J ening to know that there's that kind of support in the com- 1 munity. 1 i It will probably be some time before Mr. Giddings forgets for-gets the smell of the whole affair. Hopefully it will be somehow some-how consoling to know that as far as a lot of Utes are concerned, that same foul smell will dog the steps of the Hon. Phil Hansen for some time to come, and hopefully, like good limburger, it will become more noticeable with age. |
