"Consistent with that counsel, we suggest that students returning for winter semester leave their automobiles home, wherever feasible," President Oaks wrote. "Students coming from homes several hundred miles from Provo may need an automobile in order to return to school; others may need an automobile because of transportation needs associated with employment or housing far from campus. But those who can return to BYU without automobiles or reduce their use of automobiles in the Provo area to a minimum will make an important contribution toward reducing gasoline consumption. We urge students to ride bicycles or walk, -wherever feasible."

The firm's president, E. Allan Hunter, issued this statement: "The decision to ask for an increase in-crease of this size was necessary because of increases in the cost of fuel, labor, materials and supplies and the increased cost of financing new construction to serve the expanding population and business economy of our service area. New environmental en-vironmental control costs as well as expanding research and development commitments, added to the inflation of these operating expenses, far exceed all cost reducing measures and efficiencies that the company has been able to implement." "The average cost of fuel, which is one of our largest expense ex-pense items, has risen about 30 percent since our present rates were set early in 1972. Materials needed for maintenance of the system and to serve new customers have risen dramatically," Hunter said. "For example, wood distribution poles have risen 42 percent, and wood crossarms are up as much as 96 percent, just since 1972. Aluminum wire conductors, which we use in large quantities for both distribution and transmission tran-smission have increased as much as 45 percent. Construction expenditures for new facilities required to serve existing and new customers are the highest in the company's history, amounting to about $110 million in 1973 and are budgeted at $93.5 million in 1974. The UP&L Co. president pointed to record high financing costs on this essential construction program as a major factor in the company's increasing costs.
