The recommendation will go before the Board of Regents, With President Bush's signature Monday, the bill that will transfer historic Fort Douglas land to the University of Utah became law. But the transfer now raises other issues, among them the fate of military families who live in housing units that will be given to the U., and according to some, that is a big worry. "We don't want to lose our homes like this," Fort Douglas resident Tami Pierce said. The land transfer, which gives 55 acres of rnilitary land to the U. after the Fort closes as part of the Base Closure Act, includes in part a chapel, Increasing Clouds Salt Lake City can expect decreasing clouds Friday, becoming fair by evening with warming temperatures.

Pat Schroeder, the because the in was nation, unique arrangement U. did not have to pay for the land acquired from the military. U. officials said Thursday the university will be willing to negotiate an arrangement with the Army for the benefit of Fort Douglas residents. "It's not our intention to kick anyone out on the street," Walter Gnemi, U. vice president for administrative services said. The U. will create a task force of students, faculty and staff to study possible uses for the land. The Army and some military experts opposed the entire land transfer deal, but the Army nonetheless prepared to close the Fort. Many Fort residents, however, had thought the land transfer would not be effective until 1993, while the final form of the bill requires the transfer to happen just one year after its signing, in Nov. of 1991. This has been the primary source of fears about new housing and moving expenses for the families based there. "Some of these people have had to move several times already in the past year, and it is real tough," Pierce said. Many residents are worried that housing in Salt Lake City will cost more than their salaries will provide, and wonder how much government assistance they will get to cover moving costs. see "fort" on page two Speaker says medicine is benefitted by space By Victoria Long Chronicle Staff Writer Nov. 17, for final approval."

Currently the fusion institute is prepared to operate until June 30 on the $1.3 million remainder of the state budget allocation. "We are in a position now to say the institute can function in that worst case scenario of no external funding. That is, only operating using state funding," Will said. Although the institute has only generated approximately $100,000 in external funding, Will said he is confident the NCFI will raise see "fusion" on page three In the quest for health care solutions, medical technology has been and continues to be benefitted by the advancement of space exploration, said a former University of Utah and NASA official. James Fletcher was president of the U. from 1964 to 1971, before heading NASA from 1971 to 1977 and 1986 to 1989. He was part of the development teams responsible for the first guided missiles, the artificial heart and construction of the first space shuttle. Speaking at the 12th Annual Utah Hospital Association Convention, Fletcher told state hospital leaders and personnel many space technologies have been immediately, applicable and used by medical professionals. "Mostly, the technology did not go into the usual bank where you see medical research going the national institutes of health but rather into the private sector. All can use that technology for various technical breakthroughs." Some of the breakthroughs include search and rescue satellites, portable reading aids for the blind conveying words into vibrations, scratch-proo- f lenses and pollution controllers and purification systems.
