Bravo to Zoph and Brown for their fine representation Two student lobbyists have put in a pretty productive week at the legislature and they deserve thanks for their hard work. Tim Zoph and Lowell Brown, both members of the Associated Students of the University of Utah (ASUU) Public Affairs Board, have done a good job representing University students in their effort to try and keep tuition levels down. And for once, a student lobby group really seems to have had some effect. Wednesday, the higher education subcommittee of the legislature, after hearing a position paper by Zoph and Brown, agreed to set a tentative 3.3 percent ceiling on tuition increases for the next year. The paper, which Zoph said was presented on behalf of the Utah Council of Student Body Presidents, argued that rising educational costs are not accompanied by a corresponding increase in the students' ability to pay believed adage that students can have a voice on the hill. It's a refreshing change. It seems the judicial authorities of Utah county have a slight difference of opinion with Newsweek magazine over just exactly what is and is not a good film. One week after Provo police officials seized the film Looking for Mr. Goodbar claiming that it was obscene, Newsweek named the film one of the ten best of the year. And speaking of film censorship, it appears Indian film audiences may finally be allowed to see kissing scenes. According to a Reuter them. The paper concluded with a rejection of the governor's proposal as unreasonable and asked the committee to consider a compromise between no increase and the two other tuition proposals offered. The 3.3 percent ceiling is down more than half from the Board of Regents' proposal to the legislature of 6.9 s from Matheson's percent and down proposed increase of 10 percent. In dollar figures, it may mean a difference between a $ 6 a year increase and a $48 a year increase. Indeed, nothing to make fun of.

But Indian Information Minister Lai Advani announced several days ago that kisses would be permitted if the situation called for them provided they were not obscene or vulgar. Obviously, Mr. Advani is no Provo native. on-scree- n LETTERS LETTERS LETTERS I am appalled aren't we all Ute fans? Is this the way it will be for the rest of the season or are my comments in vain? Susanne Herbert ! ! Editor: As a faithful Ute basketball fan, I am appalled at the incident that occurred while I was waiting for the Fairleigh Dickinson vs. University basketball game on Jan. 2, 1978. My friend and I were sitting there, we were a little bit early (about 7:05) and two rows down from us there were four young men (about 20-2- 4 years old). A gentleman came up to them and asked if they would like to shoot from half court at half time to try to win a car. He handed two of them the programs (which cost $1 to anyone else) with the lucky number to shoot. At this point I was a little surprised that such was going on, after all this was to be chosen at random to people who faithfully purchase the program. No wonder the people who always shoot are young men. Have you ever seen a young child, an older person, or a female try the half court shot? Not me, and I've been to every game this year except one. So at half time when they announce for everyone to look in their programs to see if they (by some great chance) will be able to try the half court shot to win a car, its already been taken care of and their efforts are in vain. The whole thing is set up even before the game begins. Everyone who buys a program should be given the chance to try for the car. After all, that is promoting the purchase of the program, isn't it? If they insist on setting it up, the least they could do is select people without prejudice or discrimination. After all, Irrational Mormon Editor: Oh, horror! God help me! I keep forgetting that's a direct admission Oh, no that I'm mentally unbalanced. Irrational, someone called it. Wouldn't want my fellow students to think I believe in a God of any sort. If there is one thing that I have noticed when reading the ... editorials in my beloved daily Chrony, it is that at least one of the writers seems to have a single vein. If I am to take Sydney Singer seriously, then there is nothing left I am a crazed, fanatical, irrational Mormon! Lord help me! Oh, drat! Slipped again Does Singer make a blanket statement in his constant constant constant attacks on religion in general? Does he somehow place his enlightened self a notch above such great thinkers and writers as Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Disraeli, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill just to name a few? These men were great even when not talking about religion, as few may deny, all were religious men. But, perhaps, subscribing to a frail, irrational belief such as the existence of a God and all that that implies, something which they "can't possibly know to be true," perhaps this g thought-provokin- ....

McCONKIE Council of the Twelve Apostles Editor: I am writing in response to a letter entitled "Here come da Crush," January 12, 1978. It appears that the gentleman who wrote the letter is quite uninformed and disillusioned, in regards to the upcoming Super Bowl game. With all bias aside, there is no doubt that the Dallas Cowboys will reign superior over the Denver Broncos. (As the previous Dallas-Denve- r game demonstrated.) As is always the case, the Cowboys shall mount the Broncos and ride them to the ground.
