Show A Second Look At Proposition No. 1 Orem-Geneva Times October 12, 1972 by Ken Larsen The purpose of this series of articles is to help those persons who may not have the time or patriotism to thoroughly compare Proposition 1. with Article VI as it now stands in our State Constitution. It is my duty at this point to inform the readei that I am opposed to Proposition Propos-ition 1 I therefore recommend that the reader discuss my comments com-ments with a proponent of this amendment and think it out for himself. Whether state or national, a constitution is a very important document because it defines the limits of government and stands between the people and tyranny. The power to amend the constitution is the ultimate sovereign power and those who hold this power (the voters) should give the matter sufficient study, discussion and prayer. Those who read the proposed amendment will probably find a great deal with which they can agree. What they may not know is that most of this desirable material is a copy of the existing exist-ing amendment. Identical sections sec-tions are omitted in the hope that the reader will find a copy of the constitution and study it for himself. him-self. Sections 1 and 2. No change is proposed. Section 3. (Members of House, how and when chosen.) In this section the word 'electors is changed to "voters." This provides pro-vides for consistant use of the word "voters." Section 4. (Senators, how and when chosen.) Besides changing chang-ing the word electorto "Voter the amendment would drop reference ref-erence to the division of the 1896 senate into 2 and 4 year classes. The wording to require that the numbers elected each 2 years be nearly equal is slightly changed. The changes in this, section will have no effect on Utah Government. Section 5. (Who eligible as legislator.) This section contains con-tains two changes: First, the addition of the phrase "as of the last date provided by law for filing for the office," would require re-quire that a prospective office holder meet the requirements before the campaign. This eliminates elim-inates those who might file before be-fore qualified. The only actual change is to require persons to c& fre en (PaMrn tyfafouf n& al &X9ou9liU 9u,U be 25 years of age in the spring of election year rather than before be-fore the end of December. I'm not convinced that making a 24-year-old wait 2 years will have any effect on the operation of Utah government. Remember, we're looking for improvements which will make our government "more effective." The second change in section 5 would increase in-crease the residency requirement require-ment for a candidate in the local district from 1 year to 6 months. But actually the required residency res-idency is slightly longer because the 6 months must be met by the 10th of May. The actual changes this new section would bring to the government of the State of Utah are, in my opinion, negligable. Sections 6 to 21 are word for word copies taken from our present pres-ent Constitution. There are 32 sections in the proposed amendment of the State Constitution, proposition number one on the Utah November ballot. Of the first 21 sections discussed dis-cussed above, only minor changes negligible value would be made. In sections which follow, changes have been proposed which would, in my opinion, be definitely detrimental to citizens cit-izens of the state of Utah. Further Fur-ther discussion of these proposed changes will be made in forthcoming forth-coming articles. Central States News Views TENNIS STAR?

The "hearing aid" helps diagnose human ills and finds flaws in industrial products. BYU Security Officers have started issuing warning citations to visitors who park on campus without permits. If a visitor continues to park without a permit after receiving two warning citations, his car will be impounded, said Chief Swen Nielsen, Security Chief. About ten cars already have been removed re-moved from campus, he said. "We like to have visitors come to campus and they are welcome, wel-come, but with 10,000 - 15,000 in a confined area every day, parking is a big problem and cooperation of all is needed," chief Nielsen observed. He explained visitors may o tain parking permits to park on campus at the control booth at the north end of campus near the alumni house, at the control booth at the south end of campus near the health center, and at the Security office in the ASB at 1230 North 180 East. Previously visitors who received re-ceived citations could have them cancelled by signing and mailing them to the security office. However, How-ever, Chief Nielsen said, this practice was abused.
