The lecture was partially sponsored by the University of Utah's Division of Continuing Education. Cousins, currently a professor in the School of Medicine at the University of California Los Angeles, has traveled around the world in a quest for global double-barrelle- 17-year-- peace as president of the World Federalists Association. The last time he lectured in Salt Lake City was 40 years ago. During his years of activism, Cousins has been awarded the United Nations Peace Medal and the Humanitarian of the Year Award. This eloquent "diplomat for peace" continues to lecture to an American public he believes is suffering from an "inadequate r understanding" of the threat that it faces. Cousins struck an ominous note when he put American ignorance into a historical perspective.

Gablin was a probationary employee who had been working in the Union for one month. Gablin served as a supervisor in the Union Cafe, but was terminated after he was arrested, Prentkowski said. The case is being handled by the Salt Lake County attorney's office. Forcible sodomy carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison. As of yet, no court date has been set. e The Academic Senate on Monday officially accepted a report on affirmative action policy at the University of Utah. By approving the resolution which called for acceptance of the report, the Senate approved "the Overall objectives" contained in the report and passed it on to the U. administration for further action. Compiled by the Faculty. Affirmative Action Committee, the report recommends that "each department and college at the" University . ". formulate an affirmative action program for the recruitment, admission, and academic and financial support of minorities and women." Monday's resolution called for the committee's report to be referred to. "every campus agency or administrative unit which would or might be affected by it" and requested that each agency return "either an implementation plan or an account of . : : why the recommendations ... cannot or should not be imple- .V , mented." Some Senate members voiced concern over wording in the resolution and said it was unclear what the : proposals--i- f not the specific proposals pass the measure. Another item on the Senate's agenda was a report on the U.'s budget and related matters delivered by U. President Chase Peterson. Peterson outlined his expectations for the coming year, one of which was salary increases for faculty and staff at the U.

They feared the phrase "implementation plan" might be interpreted to mean the actual implementation of specific proposals as opposed to suggestions and feedback. However, Joseph Taylor, U. vice president for academic affairs, said the Senate, in approving the resolution, "accepts, not adopts" the report. By doing so, the Senate is simply moving the process forward with the help of the administration, he said. Although the vote was not unanimous, enough Senate members were in favor of the principles cost-of-livi- ng year after mandatory costs, Peterson reported. Benefits such as healthcare insurance and pension funding make up 75 percent of the U.'s mandatory costs, he said. Faculty concerns with low salary levels were evident in a recently released survey of faculty attitudes at the U., Peterson reported. Regarding the faculty survey, he said "many (professors) are comfortable but more are discouraged, angry and feeling unappre:, ciated." The U. must do a better job of selling the importance of faculty salary levels to the Legislature, Peterson maintained. Vice President Taylor added that the Legislature doesn't see professors leaving the state en masse so it concludes there is no problem, but there is a problem. "The dam may not have bro-ke- n yet, but there are real problems," Taylor said. Peterson said the U. enjoys more respect nationwide than in its home state. "We're respected more nationally than we're loved and appreciated locally," he asserted. As a result, the U. needs to better demon- strate its importance to the community and to the state, he said.
