So. in a sense of fairness and equity for the liberals on campus (both of them), a committee was treated to formulate an alternative "New Liberal" Education Requirement Program for these embattled students. The need for such a program is clearly evident. The tenents of the "Old Liberalism" have quickly disappeared from sight with an odd hush from the left. In order to proixrly understand the Old Liberalism, an ancient history or lost civilization course may have to instituted. However, there is a more definite and pressing need to define the New Liberalism, whie h seems to In rising from the ashes of the Ik- - 1 980 election. These New Liberals are not deceived by asseiiions (lt.it the country still holds to Old Liberalism, and that the nationwide wave of conservatism is only a fabrication of the press and the John Bird) Society. They hae asked Jimmy Garter. George M Govern. Frank Church. Jacob Javits Birch Bah and doens of other defeated liberal Senatots and Gongressmen that question, and got the same, unanimous answer: mutate extinct. So we come hack to the nerd to define this New Liberalism. The following curriculum, with reformed Old Libera I soften instructing, or e was recommended by the blue-ribbo- n committer: New Liberalism Political Science Politics and Presidential (T. Kennedy). This discusses the course theory c an and how New Lilx-ralapply this policy in a conservative administration. Economics 123, Trickle-u- p Theory (W. Mondale).

This legal group explains how (Time occurs because the )oor and disadvantaged are being victimized by society, and not. heaven forbid, because they can make a lot of money in crime. Criminal Law 556, The Impacts of Crime I 'pon the Victim (R. Hansen). Cancelled due to lack of interest. Environmenialism 911, Rape Crisis (Sierra Club). Students will learn how a dec lining movement has been stopped by the energy of one Watt. The future of the movement is placed upon this lurking character in the Interior Department, hoping that some material proof of a "rain of the land" will turn up some clay. Physical Education 101, White Knuckles and Bleeding Hearts for the Government Bound (F. Moss). Ambitious students with Potomac Fever are taught how to go into fits of anger and demagagoguery by the very scent of Nine Lives or Kibbles and Bits on the breath of an elderly person.

TfWP The Utah Transit Authority strike means more hitchhiking go! off work at 7: 15 Monday morning, walked down the strert to the nearest bus slop and stexxl patiently, waiting for my bus. 1 I figured it would be there in about three minute-s- . the news cast from the- night before mentioning there would lx- no bus service the following day. It really didn't bother me right recalle-- - d - After about 10 minutes and no bus. I dimlv then, since I only live a block away, but I knew there would lx- no way for me to get to my 8:)0 class that day. So I dec ided to finel out exactly what the problem was with the Utah Transit Authority. "All we wanted was toaskthc-txoplcothe truer counties we serve to supixirl us a little f more," said Clifford. "But, ihe legislatuic would not even let us do lhat." - I talked with UTA's company sxkesman. Rod CI if foul, who said. "I have no idea how long this will last. It all dcixuds on how firm the union is on its xsition with thecontrac t. The Board of Dim tots fe lt they could not enter inter a new budget without knowing how muc h the lalxn was going to cost, they felt they had to clean up the situation first." When asked if the board had taken the people of Utah into consideration when deciding whether or not to shut down. CI if fold said. "That was the main concern of the board. I sat in many of the board's inert ing. and that was their first priority." It's hard to deride who has the belter stand here, the UTA or the union. On UTA's side, the re is the 20 ixrevnt cm in federal funding, whic h amounts to about SI million a year. In two yean that helpful hand will lx- no more--. UTA has also gone to the Slate Lcgislature requesting mote funding, but was turned - down. !!

On the other hand, the union and its members also have legitmate concerns. The offer that U TA's management made to the g union did not inc lude a increase. Their last contrac t did include such a clause, and it added up to a 40 increase in wages during the last truer years. cost-of-livin- fx-rce- With inflation still rising the way it is, I can ser why they would want that provision included in their new contract. I know I would. Even though both parties serm to lx- in the right, it dcx-- not help the bus riders of the truer counties in any way. In fac t, the riders of buses are the big losers. So, it lcxks like I'm going to lx- doing a lot of hitc hhiking in the near future. - s - Dai'id Trapp is a journalism major and a "Chronitle" intern.
