Show the environment for this year, we can goback to pollutingand destroying destroy-ing the land and forget all we've said. Whatever I say here, though, won't change the fact that the bulldozers are already digging up the earth, while they pollute the air with their smoke. Soon the land will be covered with clean, white cement, beautiful black asphalt, as-phalt, steel, bricks and eventually we'll have more clean-running cars. Some of us in the community commun-ity who are also students and edness of his complaint, Dr. Edison Edi-son would like the incident reported personally to him. Dr. Edison has assured this group that future prejudice by the staff will not be tolerated in areas relating to a student's military status. Students Stu-dents may now expect to obtain medical confimation of a medical defeat from the University Health Service, and should report any latent prejudice to the center's director. Darrcll Zwenke i I ; ScD o tor i ' i '1 . ' : ' " : -i delmitions the classifying takes place. I propose the following definitions. Let "drug" refer to a chemical introduced into a bio-system bio-system for purposes of producing some effect; "problem" refer to a situation which is thought to endanger en-danger something of value, in this case the structural integrity of an individual personality or a social organization. Under these definitions we can subsume the following partial list of dangerous drugs: DDT; PAN (pchoxyacetyl nitrate;) 2,4,S-T; Napalm; CN, CS (tear gases;) S02; methyl Mercury. If Mr. Waters is interested in the names of dealers and the best places to watch for traffic in these substances, I will be happy to supply him with all the information I have-it seems to me that the lives of our youth are at stake. The point I'm trying to make is that the present campaign against drugs is an attempt to politically determine the bounds of permissible permis-sible experience. Your present public position in ignoring the larger scope of the relation of biochemistry to man in society, constitutes as much an evasion of reality as any heroin jag. Scott Warnick Housing Editor: I would like to reply to the editorial of Thursday which discussed dis-cussed Phase II of the married student housing. There are a few Bands dying Editor: Recently on a suggestion of 1 Jerry Jensen, the Department of Athletics refused to allocate funds for the Ute Marching Band due to a tight budget. Immediately following fol-lowing this the University Assembly As-sembly decided to drop its portion por-tion of the funds supporting the band, leaving the Alumni Association Associa-tion last to respond. Due to this measure, it is inevitable that there will be no band to attend any of the football or basketball games in future years. The Pep Bands that have attended basketball games and pep rallies will be feeling the axe also since they are a part of the Marching Band. It is sad that there will no longer be a band to lead the r school in singing "Utah Man" or even the "Star Spangled Banner." Imagine the cheerleaders des- (3) Band members put in five to seven hours per week plus performance time for each march and receive only one hour credit for their efforts.

Band Council Don't care Editor: The trouble with the funding of the Marching Band and the Pep Band just seem another example of the indifference the Department of Athletics has toward to-ward student feelings or concern. As long as they get out money, they do not care what happens to anything else. ASUU following their example, just proves that things I disagree with in this editorial. edi-torial. First of all, it was so stated near the end of the article," the community did not react when the idea was first proposed." The reason the community did not react for such a long time was that could care less about land values would like to see something beautiful around our homes. Maybe this is wrong. Maybe the students are more important that the land or the air. 1 can still remember though some words Share sidewalk Editor: In answer to the editorial on cyclists (Monday) 1 would like to ; that perhaps we ve discarded, "Good Earth. No deposit, No Return." Which is more valuable? Think about it.

II seems to me that many pedestrians challenge chal-lenge me to run them down. One kid left me approximately six inches between him and the box elder. He gave me a stare that said, "What are you doing on my sidewalk?" side-walk?" I just kept going and he finally jumped out of the way. I'm sorry I pushed him around now and I offer this as an apology. apol-ogy. He could have avoided the whole thing easier than me but he chose to play the hard guy with nerves of steel who would not shed a foot of ground to a mere cyclist. If it would have been a tractor or one of the three-wheeled three-wheeled go-carts the University's hired hands hot rod around in, I'm sure he would have gladly stepped aside. The other gripe I have is the pedestrians that walk around this campus three or four abreast. They not only force a cycle onto the grass (causing ruts if it is wet) but they also force other pedestrians pedestri-ans to go around them. If we could get people to stay on the right hand side of walks and not walk three or four abreast, the cyclists could use the middle. With all the intellect walking walk-ing around this campus we can figure something out that is suitable suita-ble for all of us. Doug Smith ters regarding professional medical opinions of both draft registrants and students already involved with military service. DMCS has written statements by students who collaborated the prejudice of several of the physicians physi-cians and the nursing staff toward medical documentation, and the stated resistence of these professionals profes-sionals to comply with their medical medi-cal function. The staff in short, made political and moral decisions about a students' health in disregard disre-gard to the current medical standards stan-dards for both induction and retention in the armed forces. Dr. Edison, director of Student Health Services, stated that the individual opinions of the staff do not reflect the medical effort of the Health Service, and that in cases where a student is shown prejudice, or in cases where a physician refuses to examine a student due to the military relat- to sing Utah's school song at the same time and roughly in the same key. It wouldn't be long before everyone would throw up their hands and forget about it. SUU has finally put their foot down on one of the few remaining t active institutions concerned solely with school and team morale. Perhaps before long the test of the spirit leaders will disappear. dis-appear. First the Ute-Tannahs will leave, then the cheerleaders. Is this really what the University wants? U of U Marching Band Uof UPep Band Band facts Editor: We would like to clarify a few facts concerning the University Marching Band. The Chronicle stated that Dave Hansen said "The band has played only twice a year on a budget of $11,000." This is untrue. Last year the band played l0.r every home football game k f te the start of school plus the Utah State game, plus every home basketball game (Marching Band a Pep Band operate from the same budget and under the same ,ort) for a total of 16 performances. perfor-mances.

Mark Dowlson Neglected point Editor: Your coverage of the drug problem pro-blem on campus neglected a central cen-tral point: The classification of a situation depends on who is doing the classifying, and under what it was never clear what the University Univer-sity was doing. For example, the people didn't find out till March that the housing was to be east of the highway. Even today there is no sign that says what is being constructed except for the heart facility sign. If the community ' was slow to react, the blame must be put on the University's way to communicate their action concerning con-cerning this project. Another point that I disagree with is the title of the editorial: "Which is more valuable-Land or students?" Two weeks ago was Environment Week and the students stu-dents were trying to protect the land. Now, since we've grown tired of doing our good deed for |
