Lyon produced charts based on studies which showed that the incidence of leukemia among teenagers in southern Utah during the years 1959-19was more than twice as high as the national or state 67 averages. These people were born and lived their childhood during the testing years. "These people had accumulated the largest amounts of exposure to radiation. Most deaths were occuring among those who lived there the longest," he said. "People born after nuclear testing showed a much lower rate of leukemia deaths." The panelists also agreed with Jenkins' findings that the government was negligent when conducting the tests. Howard Ball, dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and author of Downwind Justice: The Nuclear Testing Controversy, said safety was not the major purpose in nuclear testing. "When testing, the main thing was to get a working bomb. The safety factor was always secondary," he said.

Student Family Housing is in the process of changing the locks in Medical Towers to avoid further thefts. The process began earlier this year in response to a similar rash of thefts that involved a U. employee of two years ago. Richard Daines, director of Student Family Housing, said they also are changing locks in the Village as residents move out. He said the process is slow but the alternative would be a $17,000 project to immediately switch the lock system. He said there aren't enough funds available to do that. Mitchell said the police have some good leads but it could take more than one month to make an arrest because they are having trouble locating the suspect. "It's difficult to say because the address we were given for the possible suspect was incorrect. His phone number has been disconnected since June and the Post Office doesn't have a forwarding address," he said. Mitchell added that the suspect did not have a Utah driver's license or a vehicle registered in the state.
