As a student who had the opportunity to work with President Gardner, I can say unequivocably that he was a defender of student issues and a protector of student rights. During his presidency he faced the problem of safeguarding quality and equality in higher education, while state and federal resources became, more and more scarce, He also presided over the AMFM Stereo Cassette Player and Recorder BOOK SIZE SHARP i r STUDENT COMPUTER SYSTEM WITH Chairman, ASUU Public Affairs Board Executive Director, USA Utah Student Lobby Snots ' 2 m to 10 it awess . also Panasonic Walkman type stereos, car stereo and speakers, watches and handtools.
