Show Letters to the Editor Non-partisan Editor: The lack of partisan balance in the ASUU Legislative Relations student lobby effort, as noted by Michael Murphy (letter to the editor, December 6, 1972) indicates merely that the lobby effort is nonpartisan. non-partisan. These facts exist: 1. The University receives by far the least dollars per student of any university in Utah. (Compare the University at $688 per student to $1,607 for students attending Snow College). 2. Salaries for University employes em-ployes are approximately 14 percent per-cent below individuals in comparable com-parable positions in state agencies. 3. The University pays the highest tuition of any public school in the state. 4. The University receives no funds per student for its 3,000 students who attend school after 3:30 p.m. 5. The University has the highest average studentteacher ratio and the lowest number of administrators ad-ministrators (i.e. vice-presidents) per dollar spent. These facts are the same whether explained by a Democrat following year was granted. Financial aids were severely crippled and many of the minority who were supposedly benefitted by open admissions were forced to withdraw. The overcrowded conditions and the prejudice and tension on campus grew and exploded in the spring in one of the worst race riots I ever saw (even in New York). Financial problems as well as angry minority groups facilitated talk of closing down the CUNY colleges. So much for open admissions. Fran Ferruggia Bitterness Editor: .. ,. Well, well, well.

I am looking forward to working with two legislators in the comming session. One, because he is my hometown state senator, and another with whom I became acquainted in an ASUU Public Awareness Council function. I do not presume that my strong Democratic affiliation will affect my success with either candidate. Susan K. Taylor Chairman, Organizations Boad Deseret deserted? Editor: Have you been to the book store's latest book sale? If so do you know why the management has seen fit to place a large table full of LDS Church literature in the midst of the sale books? Granted, some people may feel a need for a Little Golden Book-type item telling children why it is God's commandment com-mandment that they give a penny out of each dime to their bishop, but I think it is out of place in our theoretically non-sectarian store. What about equal time for other minority groups? I didn't see any "Child's Story of Chanukah" or "The Story of the Nativity" in Spanish. Were these books ordered just for the sale, or did some misguided individual overstock these items? The LDS Church has a big beautiful bookstore on South Temple at which to market their own material, so why do they need assistance from us? Art Brooks Open door Editor: In my sophomore year at Brooklyn College, a branch of CUNY, the open admissions program began as a result of political pressure from rioting minority groups. The students there were generally against the institution of this program for two reasons: (1 ) the fear that the degree would be worthless as a result and (2) it was a predominantly middle-and middle-and upper-class Jewish school because, as these students later said, "We come here to be safe from poor and Blacks." The open admissions program was primarily for the benefit of minority group students. The results at the end of one year of this program were interesting. Minority groups did not increase significantly, rather white students who would ordinarily have applied to private colleges in the area having less-demanding entrance requirements came to CUNY. The classes were so overcrowded people were forced to sit on the floor and in aisles of lecture halls. Because of the increased enrollment the financial needs skyrocketed. But the city could not afford it and only half of the proposed budget money for the fitters to the Editor he use some logic in your fight for indulgence and not an appeal of emotional bigotry.
