Show Friday, November The Daily Utah Chronicle - Page Seven 16, 1990 Helpful hints for getting through the jumbled chaos on Foothill Boulevard Editor: It's 8:00 A.M., Monday morning. Here we are, three college students ready to leave our Sandy establishments for the east, off on University. Hit Foothill. Now what configurations of bright orange trash cans will there be today? Will the left lane be closed or the 15 right lane? Pick a lane, any lane, you still have to merge. After tunnel because progress is on our side. Should the workers have Foothill completed? They are even more annoying than the two motorcycle cops in the school crossing zone pointing and yelling at cars to pull over. The cycle cops usually have a car pulled over heading the other direction in the center lane. It takes us 20 minutes to reach 5 approximately six months of Foothill and at least we to the minutes reach the are traffic dodging University frustrated. However, we think once on Foothill. Then, of the light is at the end of the course, we must deal with the 15-2- parking problem, but that is another story. Foothill has become so familiar to us that, for Halloween, one of us dressed up as a Foothill flagger. Well, here are a few suggestions we came up with for those in our situation: to the 6th South 1) Take exit. Hit all kinds of frustrated people going all kinds of places. to 13th East. 2) Take Chances of getting behind a bus stretch are during the one-lan- e good. pretty 3) Turn off Foothill into an 15 everwinding neighborhood and hope to find the University using your keen sense of direction. "May the force be with youf" 4) Move, relocate. 5) Take late afternoon or night classes. 6) Buy a bulletbike, drive down the half completed center lane hoping not to be hit by a turning vehicle. Wear your helmet! 7) (Here is the one we do) Fly down the merging lane with the tunes blasting. Put signal on (to anticipate merge) and your car In response to the article ("Public awareness of animal rights rising," Nov.l), I wish to present an alternative point of view. In the article, Heather Johnson stated that the animal rights movement is declining, especially with regard to medical experimentation. The movement is not declining, but, in fact, is rising substantially. Margaret Devoe, manager of information services for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said (PETA), membership has been steadily increasing since their founding in 1980. Total membership has gone from 17,000 in 1985 to in 1990. Their 350,000 membership increases monthly by 10,000 to 20,000 new people. PETA is known mostly for its medical experimentation issues. Ms. Devoe said, "The issue is on work becoming increasingly covered by the media, especially within the past three years." In recent months, there has been a mushrooming of events. The most important of these was the first national march for the animals held June 10, 1990 in Washington, D.C. Fifty thousand people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial and marched to the nation's capitol in protest of all types of animal abuse. I cannot help but feel that this event will fuel an even greater wave of concern from the public. I have already seen evidence of this locally. Before the march several animal welfare groups began meeting together in order to send as many people as possible to Washington. Since the march these groups have coalesced into a new group with a much broader membership than any that have come before. Called the Utah Coalition for the Animals, the group has been responsible for several local events such as "Dump Gillette the traffic by orange plastic cans followed by a cement truck. (Yes, we are those annoying kids, lacking patience, who enjoy not letting you into the stream of traffic.) Ignore your fellow students' or the Research Park Mercedes' gestures and continue your journey. Our general rule of thumb: Everyone fend for themselves, can't be late for class!

Another local indication we are increasing is the annual SATURDAY Rice Stadium CHEER FOR THE "U" candlelight ceremony for lab animals held at the state capitol. When, it began four years ago, there were approximately 25 people in attendance; this past year attendance increased to "Keep BYU Humble" 150.
