IVORY TOWERS OF AMERICA'S COLLEGES BEING DESROYED Appaling as it may seem to the average American, it may not be long before the 'Ivory Towers" of America are completely destroyed and higher education as it has been known in the past is just something one reads about in a history book. Enemies of America have ' vowed to destroy the institutions that are feeding 'the capitalistic monster" and keeping the Establishment Estab-lishment alive. They are cutting the throat with aplomb that virtually no one can or WILL stop them. Strong administrators and strong laws to deal with these anarchists and destroyers are two ways to deal a death-blow to the plans of the nibilists. And an aroused public can de-mand-because they are paying the bills-that the college campuses camp-uses be cleaned up of this very ilk. Talk about pollution! Wow! It should start with 'SELF" Arizona State University at Tempe is probably like most public pub-lic universities in America. Many private ones, too! Standards are so loose now, especially after the resignation of Dr. Homer Durham, that drunkenness drunk-enness and drugs with all the side effects thrown in have taken its toll on the basic purposes for a 'college education." Girls in dorms seldom stay all night in their own bed, and boys (even the 'best ones") expect the girls to crawl in bed with them on the first date. Slovenly dress about campus is commonplace. common-place. Faculty members wear sloppy clothes to class (even shorts), and some even promote drugs in a way that keeps them "nip" with the students. A millionaire conservative con-servative taught there for a pittance pit-tance and exposed one of the professors pro-fessors as a communist. Guess who are fired? Right! The conservative. Mow, like many other colleges and universities, ASU has coed housing. Stanford and other 'big name" schools across the country have been permissive enough to allow this. A professor at Stanford was reported to the Dean of Women by two women students. He had been giving the girls A's for their after-hours affairs with him. They tired of it an reported him. The Dean of Women investigated investigat-ed the charges and reported these to the president. (Not the current cur-rent one.) after a few months sitting on the case, the president fired the Dean of Women. This is going on elsewhere, too! After the murder of a coed at Iowa State University at Ames, a County Grand Jury investigated and subsequently issued a report warning the parents of ISU students stu-dents and the people of Iowa generally of 'moral pollution by faculty and paid speakers" at the university. One of the documents in the Grand Jury report was a news clipping reporting on a big campus camp-us event-a lecture by Dr. Albert Ellis of the Institute for Rational Living, New York. The lecture was sponsored by the YWCA, YMCA, and the University Lectures Committee. Ellis urged the young men and women students to throw off the "old standards" of behavior aad participate freely in sex "outside "out-side marriage." Those who didn't, he said, 'need a psychotherapist." psycho-therapist." He advocated breaking down taboos" and explicitly recommended recom-mended that after marriage, the man and wife should both participate parti-cipate in extra-marital sex; he recommended that "the husband and wife go out separately looking look-ing for extra-marital sex." Undergraduate Un-dergraduate students and faculty crowded the university's Great Hall in Memoial Union for the lecture. Recently at Long Beach State College, a professer addressed 250 social science students-and to illustrate his point, presented two young people-a man and a woman-completely and absolutely absolut-ely nude. During the session, he showed pornographic films illustrating il-lustrating the techniques of lesbianism les-bianism and homosexuality. And it's going on in Utah, too! Could the tax-suppored colleges col-leges tolerate a close scrutiny of goings-on?

Company, said he expected Rep. Burton to wage a 'high-minded, hard-hitting, straight-forward campaign." Laurence Burton has a standout stand-out record as a Congressman. He is concerned with national and international as well as state affairs, and is dedicated to serving serv-ing people," Mr. Woolley said. "He is young enough to have many years of service in the Senate but has had enough experience in Washington to do an excellent job." Mr. Woolley brings to the Burton Bur-ton campaign excellent political credentials. He served two terms in the Utah House of Representa tives and one term in the Senate. ' f u Herb McLean Inspires Local Writers For the Utah Valley Chapter of the League of UtahWriters, Herbert Her-bert E. McLean of the Brigham Young University gave a stimulating stimu-lating discussion on travel writing writ-ing Monday evening, April 20 at the Harris Fine Arts Center. Beginning with a discussion of the many magazines on the market mar-ket for travel articles, Mr. McLean, Mc-Lean, who has published over four hundred articles and launched launch-ed the successful 'Operation Midnight Sun" travel tour for students to Alaska, gave fascinating fascinat-ing ideas for at least twenty different dif-ferent articles that could be gleaned from vacation traveling. Among his lively experiences in outdoor fields were helicopter trips, boating experiences, and camping treks. He suggested all of these areas and many more for possible stories. A new travel-oriented magazine maga-zine for Utah was mentioned in which a free-lance writer might have an opportunity to sell local material. It will be published by the Wheelwright Lithograph company, and should be a stimulus stimu-lus to tourist visitors from out of state.

Sit WkXfV w" ll " By Ruth Louise Partidge Well, here we are an in spite of the little birds who are feasting feast-ing on the plum blossoms outside out-side my window, it is definitely NOT spring. However there is blue in the west and my old house sits firm on its foundation founda-tion so I will not complain. Such weather as is loose in the worldl And right here close, a dear, playful little tornado moved a trailer house five feet. After a low altitude flight, said trailer house was set down. I see by ye public prints that after all these years, some people-bless them-are beginning to become concerned about the sad fate of Provo River. Now, I couldn't say anything in favor of this atttude that I haven't said with great feeling these many years. So, I'll start saying it all over again. Few cities are blessed with a real live river flowing right through town, paractically. In a semi-arid area such a natural endowment is-or should be-more precious than rubies. Alas, we have never been known to count out greatest blessings, but have instead systematically not only disregarded them but encouraged defacement. There was once for instance, up Desolation Gultch (once known as beautiful Provo Canyon) a horizontal tree. From my earliest childhood when father and I made our leisurely way up to Wildwood by horse and wagon, wag-on, we would mark out progress by the horizontal tree. What had happended to it? It lay paralell to the earth. Why? Then one day, it was gone. A natural curiousity, unique in this canyon. Why? There was no need. No reason.

Study Made To Change UTC To Research Center Western Interstate Commission Commis-sion for Higher Education (WICHE) reported today they will again support an intern under the sponsorship of the Utah Valley Industrial Development Association Associ-ation (UVIDA) for the summer of 1970. The project chosen is a feasibility feasi-bility study to determine if the Utah Technical College facilities could be turned into a research and development center. The specific objectives of the project will be to: determine the demand for research facilities; do a layout lay-out design for multiple tenants; prepare cost study to determine lease costs to proposed tenants; estimate total number of new job opportunities; determine economic econo-mic impact for the community; determine benefit derived from returning facility to the public tax rolls. Under this program, WICHE provides the intern-student with an educational grant for the 12 week project. The student intern chosen for this project isLaVarHuntzinger, a BYU Economics student graduating grad-uating in May. Mr. Huntizinger is anHonors Program participant and is now doing an independent research project under the Honors Hon-ors Program on inflation and growth in Brazil.

Provo River has been: made into a sluice, not a river, by the systematic removal of every boulder that could be lifted from its bed.

The pity of it! Who, interested in the glory of creation or Mother Earth, can think of fish dying in a river for lack of water? I can't. Only here, alas. We continually talk at cross-purposes. cross-purposes. The great cry is to attract-tourists. Well, I guess we could attract worse things, but if we must somehow get more and more money, why don't we take advantage of the treasurers bestowed be-stowed on us free gratis for nothing? I can remember when one could almost hand-feed the dignified pelicans on Utah Lake. Now, you may think this has nothing to do with the case but let me tell you that wild life creates more and greater interest in-terest in humans than was ever dreamed of in the philosophy, of those who say they want to attract tourists. People and the shenanigans of people can be viewed anywhere. Getting socially acquainted with the wonderful won-derful creature called a pelican whose beak, remember, can hold more than its bellican.
