The lights were ably placed by John McGinn and Vern Becker with direction and help with the decorations from Judy GraffJudy Hickman, Robin Sturman, Marilyn Robertson, Jeri Madsen, Betty Dewey, and Susie Madden. Thursday morning took the same students back to S.L.C. to the tree lighting ceremony and the announcement of winners. Secretary of State, Clyde Miller, Mil-ler, presented the winning plaque for the best tree to the best school - Orem High. The president stressed several significant advantages of the new calendar which students should consider in making their . plans. First is that a student can complete a bachelor's degree in three years by attending two and one -half semesters per year." By attending from approximately Sept. 1 to June 22, he still could have a two-month vacation each year. The extra half-semester needed for graduation could be completed by home study, attending attend-ing a Summer Term, or by a special examination. - Also students desiring to pursue a degree at the rate of two semesters a year (conventional (conven-tional four year program) could attend any two of the three semesters. sem-esters. "Since most college students are on the job market during the summer, some might find it advantageous to work during dur-ing the Autumn orWinterSemes-ter, orWinterSemes-ter, President Oaks said.

Stote Revenues$7 Million More Than Spent in 1972 For the third consecutive year, state revenues were greater than state expenditures in Utah. Last year total revenue receipts in Utah amounted to $567 million, compared with total state spending spend-ing of $560 million. This was reported re-ported by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, organiza-tion, in their analysis of state income and spending in Utah for the 1972 fiscal year. The Foundation study, points out that during the period 1961 through 1969 the reverse was true, and state expenditures in Utah consistently exceeded revenue rev-enue receipts. Among the factors fac-tors accounting for the excess of expenditures over revenues during the 1960's were (1) the large amount of capital outlay financed from borrowed funds, (2) the consolidation of accounting account-ing funds which made more moneys available for expenditure, expen-diture, and (3) the spending of balances and surpluses in the early 1960's which had been accumulated ac-cumulated in earlier years. State government revenue receipts re-ceipts which totaled$566,859,633 in fiscal 1972 were $71.9 million or 14.5 greater than total revenue rev-enue coUections for the preceding (1971) fiscal year. Foundation analysts attribute this strong revenue gain mainly to increased Federal aid. inflation, and eco- nomic growth within the state last year. The study notes that the only change in state tax rates during the Deriod was an increase in the beer tax which accounted for approximates the increase inre-$779,000, inre-$779,000, or about 1 of the venue receipts for the year, total rise in state revenues last year. Ke venue from federal aid on the other hand, rose by nearly $27 million in the 1972 fiscal period. Increased receipts from the sales tax amounted to $16.4 million and individual income in-come tax collections were up by $12.2 million for the year. The remaining $15.5 million of the state revenue increase for fiscal 1972 resulted from higher receipts re-ceipts from other taxes, fees, and charges. Tax collections accounted for $331.8 million, or 58.5 of total state revenue receipts in the 1972 fiscal year. Federal aid was equal to $184.6 million, or 32.6 of the statewide total. The remaining $50.5 million came from tuition fees, charges for services, interest earnings, and other miscellaneous sources. The sales tax continues as the most productive state tax source in Utah. Last year it contributed contri-buted $117.7 million to the state revenue total, a sum equal to 20.8 of the revenue received from all sources. When both state and local revenues are considered, con-sidered, however, the sales tax is exceeded by the property tax. Total property taxes charged by all units of .government in Utah last year amounted to $167.9 million. mil-lion. Total sales tax collections (state and local) were equal to $132.4 million during the 1972 fiscal year. State expenditures in Utah to taled $599,625,976 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1972. Ac cording to. the. Foundation anal' ysis, this sum was $71.6 million, mil-lion, or 14.7 greater than the amount expended in fiscal 1971. As may be noted, the increase in state spending for 1972 roughly Education continues as the number one item of expenditure in Utah. The Foundation analysis anal-ysis shows that state spending for education in Utah amounted to $257.8 million, or 46 of the state expenditure total. Included in this state education total was $94 million for higher education, $146.4 million for state aid to local school districts, and $17.4 million for other educational purposes. pur-poses. In addition to these state expenditures for education, sub stantial amounts are spent lor education from revenues raised locally. When all funds are included, state and local expenditures ex-penditures for education exceeded ex-ceeded $360 million last year. Other major areas of state spending during the 1972 fsical year included highways - $122.4 million (21.9), public welfare -$70.2 million (12.5), employment employ-ment security and unemployment compensation benefits - $31.9 million (5.7), health and hospitals hos-pitals - $17.2 million (3.1), and natural resources -$13.9 million (2.5). Offer Your Love There can be no more sincere expression of love than the offering of your strength and understanding to those you care for who have lost someone dear. And, the things you can do to help them might be simpler than you think. You can, for instance, relieve those in mourning of their everyday household chores like shopping and cleaning. This seemingly small gesture on your part can mean quite a lot to people too distraught to manage these necessary tasks. A gift of flowers, too, can have a great comforting effect. To those who have lost loved ones, little things like these can truly mean a whole lot. How to dream with your eyes wide open. Everybody likes to dream. But the chances of seeing a dream become reality are pretty slim. Unless you're crafty enough to figure out a smart way to save. One that's practical and painless. One that won't eat up your paycheck but will still give you a chance to salt something some-thing away. If you're smart, you'll decide on U.S. Savings Bonds. They're one of the easiest ways to save. Just sign up for the Payroll Savings Sav-ings Plan where you work. Then an amount you specify will be automatically set aside from your paycheck and used to buy Bonds. So, if you're not satisfied with just dreaming, buy U.S. Savings Bonds. Then you'll find out there's no such thing as an impossible dream.
