Show WtdNtsdAy, January 20, 19M Paqe Two OiRONide ring bunted near Auto-the-ft By Darren Tucker Chronicle staff writer University of Utah and Salt Lake police arrested nine juveniles Monday in connection with vehicle burglaries on the U. campus. "What we have here is two totally unrelated vehicle burglary rings," Lt. Ben Lemmon, a U. police officer, said. "That we caught them both operating in the same place at the same time is really incredible." Lemmon said that over the past several months 50 to 100 vehicles have been burglarized on campus and in areas. He said these arrests will close a lot of near-b- y those cases. "We've had an enormous number of burglaries in this area during the last six months," he said, "And the individuals we arrested admitted to a lot of those." Lemmon said the arrests were made possible by a resident of East Village, 1945 Sunnyside Ave., who called the police when he saw something suspicious in the parking lot of his building. The police stressed that burglary rings like these are very hard to crack, and they wouldn't have been able to U. arrest anyone without the help of a private individual. "People often don't want to call the police because they are afraid nothing is really going on," Lemmon said. we're here to respond to anything suspicious that people may see." He said the investigation is continuing and could very well result in more arrests. It will take three to four more "But weeks before an estimate of the value of the stolen property can be given. Lemmon said officers Jeffery Rayes and Ken Daily responded to the resident's call and saw six juveniles running away from the area. They were able to catch and arrest two of them. The officers returned to the area at 5:30 a.m. Monday and arrested two more individuals. After questioning the four suspects, the police were able to locate and arrest two more people by 8 a.m. the same day. "When the officers responded to the call and saw how many people were involved, they called Salt Lake Gty and asked for backup," Lemmon said. Salt Lake officers arrested three more suspects they located in the area. Some students spend holiday in class By Lori Bona Chronicle campus editor The University of Utah honored Human Rights Day Jan. by canceling classes. But for students at some other Utah colleges, Monday was just another school day. Weber State College, Salt Lake Community College and Utah Valley Community College held classes on the new state holiday. Classes were canceled at BYU, although there were rumors that students attended school Saturday, Jan. 8, to make up for the holiday. A BYU public affairs spokesperson said, however, that BYU held classes Jan. 8 to make up for a Monday that was lost at the start of winter semester. Max Lowe, vice president for instruction at Salt Lake Community College, said a committee at his school decided last April that Human Rights Day could be celebrated without giving students the day off. "There weren't hidden connotations. We just held classes 18 panel because we were trying to be consistent with the othei colleges and universities," he said. " I suggested to the committee that we find out what other institutions were doing, but we got mixed signals," Lowe said. "Some institutions said they were closing, and some said they were staying open. It was a difficult time to figure out exactly what other institutions were doing." Lowe said the college celebrated Human Rights Day by honoring King with articles in the student newspaper and letters about his accomplishments. Although Weber State College held classes on Monday, it gave students Jan. 15 off in honor of King. "The reason we gave them Friday off instead of Monday is we didn't want to interrupt Monday classes twice in the same quarter," Howard Noel, director of news and public information, said. Noel said students will already get Monday, Feb. 15 off for Presidents Day. "King's actual birthday was Jan. 15, so that did have something to do with our decision." person or whether it should come up through the workers, of the SNCC, said.

They were started when a group of college students planned to go out for a Coke and decided they were not going to leave if they were asked to. "It doesn't sound like much but is was electrifying when the news spread," King said. By the end of the year, 3,600 people had been arrested for s. Actions such as these reflected the SNCC's belief that ' people are what they believe and belief must manifest itself in actions. "The SNCC came into our community in '63 or '64 during a time when we didn't know anything about organizing for our rights," Unita Blackwell, mayor of Mayersville, Miss., said. co-foun- ns sit-in- People were then organized on the local level because SNCC had a loose, decentralized structure that could support the needs of different groups. But most of the people in the trenches were women. And Blackwell proferred Fannie Louhamer, her mentor, as an example of a soldier of Louhamer had been jailed and severely beaten but she told Blackwell she must learn to love those who had beaten her. Those who held public office and allowed the atrocities blacks suffered must also be loved because they were sick. "Anybody as sick as our people holding office needs to go home and lay down," Blackwell related Louhamer saying. "And that's what we set out to do," Blackwell added. "To talk to Fannie Louhamer was to be set straight," non-violen- ce. Mary Rothschild, professor of history at Arizona State University, said. "The Women's Movement owes its life to the Civil Right Movement," Rothschild said.

"In my classes right now there is about a 15 to 1 student to teacher ratio. It should be about 6 to 1." As a result there is less time to receive feedback from instructors in classroom settings, he said. In Utah, many nurses also are paid less than the national average, Langer said. Consequently, many.nursing graduates abandon the profession and go into other health care fields such as pharmaceutical sales, insurance or public care nursing, he noted. Cecil Samuelson, dean of the School of Medicine, said nursing needs more emphasis as an attractive career. He hopes the attention from state lawmakers will help achieve that goal. The resolution was presented by Sen. Richard Carling, Lake City, and Rep. Olene Walker, Lake City and was later signed by Gov. Norman Bangerter.

Fukuta said Williams worked for him under a contractual agreement. "But toward the end of the contract, he wasn't performing properly, so I was paying him for nothing." Williams left Fukuta's office and went to the Park Building to speak with Boyer Jarvis, vice president of academic affairs, about Fukuta. In the meantime, the meteorology department called the U. police. Williams was confronted by several police officers as he left the building.

The college has not been able to admit all the applicants it receives, which many say is a primary cause of the nursing shortage in Utah. "We would like to be able to admit all the qualified applicants we receive," Penny Brooke, assistant dean of the College of Nursing, said. "We feel pressure from institutions to increase our enrollment, but we're locked into our own budget." "Unless we get a larger budget to increase the number of applicants we are able to admit, the nursing shortage won't be remedied soon," she said.
