Thanks for letting me rave on. -- David Green Lehi Home births dangerous were severely a moment of madness after another computer crisis had been met and overcome -one of several that have plagued the newspaper ever since we entered the automated office era. Actually, there is no magic involved. I don't think there is,, anyway. But I can't explain what there is, either I have felt an affinity for these marvelous machines every since they became affordable. I started by on a computerized working typesetter that doubled as a word processor. Processing words was something I could relate to, and that came pretty easily. Then I started playing with an Apple that was available at odd hours. But the machines wert mysterious and incomprehensible..! i still don-t- ' understand how they whaftheydo. I tried to learn programming, and j found computers and I don't com- municate in the same language rj; even when I understand there.' f Kind of like my kids. I love to be around them but find their reasons mid-wive- s. Are you aware of how accessable drugs are? Are you aware that alcohol is a gateway drug? Are you aware that all kids are subject to That youth of every drugs? economic and social class are users? That parents are the answer to intervention? There is a way to build capable young people. Make ; youths ' aware that tobacco is cancer-causinsmokeless that cocaine leaves are mixed with kerosene and sulphuric acid, that marijuana stays in the g, . it really is. . I wouldn't have to anything difficult. There were still bugs in bur programs, still some report forms to be created and occasional ad-justments in our data base that I would be expected to carry out. All of this with machines that I loved to manipulate but couldn't understand at all. Then I found out, just by chance, something which still amazes me. I can make these things do what I without want understanding anything about how its done. At first I thought it was intuition, that marvelous skill of knowing something without having to reason it out. "Help!" the cry would come. "Why is the screen going crazy and talking in a foreign language to me?" for doing things incomprehensible. Computers are the same. These machines require a certain kind of logic that is simply incompatible with my brain. I can't think like they do, and I certainly can't talk like they do. ; When I write a program and try to run it, I get nasty messages back. Anyway, I think their nasty. I can't unaerstanqwem.sorm 1501 sure.? S6I Was concerned when welloter (wo years ago, we decided! to automate our office. It was decided (by those who make such decisions) that I would become the office computer expert. That sounds more important than ,: And I would sit down at the terminal, type a few keys, and everything would be all right again. I hadn't the slightest idea what I had done to bring about that great change, but I was sure glad things were working like they should again so I could get back to work. This happened time after time, until I decided it wasn't really intuition at all. NoV&nlyWeremy repairs illogical, they were just ; v , i. plainlucky. It was serendipity, the aptitude for discoveries fortunate making completely by accident. As each crisis arose, I would place myself in front of the computer, do . whatever came to mind, and soon things would be running smoothly -all purely by chance.. What a marvelous power - to be '. able to chance onto the solution to important problems." It increased my .esteem in the ; office considerably; People started talking nicely to me, because with computers you never know when something will happen that is completely without explanation. Who better to repair it than someone who knows absolutely nothing about what they are doing. As a result, computers and I have been getting along fine. They act up, I do something that makes no sense whatsoever to me, and the machine calms down and gets busy working .' again. j Oh, I haven't let anyone else know that it's luck. I act like I know what is happening, and use big words like "discombobulator .... and argofibrulator" and make like the big shot - as long as no one who knows anything about computers is around. I figure if anyone finds out what is really happening here, they'll take the computers away from me, and then where will I be? , The problem is, this only works, . with computers. I have never experienced this ability in any other facet of my life. So I plan on keeping my mouth shut, my fingers on the keyboard and my serendipity in tact - for as long as my luck holds.

I have been involved in four situations where infants' lives , . anything at all. And if anyone should know that, it's the Attorney General of Utah. Editor: I am always hearing newsbriefs and other reports on equal rights for women. I would like to respond and make my views known. I agree with equal rights but I do not support the equal rights amendment. When I say equal rights I mean equal rights for everyone. Women are not the only ones being discriminated against. Men are discriminated against also. I have seen many acts of discrimination and know of the pain and other harm that goes with it. My father was laid off from Geneva several years ago and in seeking other employment he faced discrimination on the basis that he was too old. I recently graduated from college field that is in a career predominated by women. In seeking employment, I have been turned down on the basis that I was a male.

Computing is still a mystical art - - '; bigevent; v beUeveh You would think that the Utah Attorney General would know better. No sooner had State , Sen. Paul Rogers been exonerated by a panel of his peers for violating his Senatorial ethics than David Wilkinson, who currently holds that office, was slinging mud in Rogers direction again and then declared his intention of not pressing, the point. It was a blatant attempt to try Rogers by innuendo rather than fact and using the media rather than official channels outlined for the Attorney General to make such cases. Rogers had originally been accused by Wilkinson of trying to influence a criminal investigation by the Attorney General's office into the dealings of Utah Power and Light Co. and Emery Mining Co., which is owned by the local Savage Brothers Inc. . Rogers, who was the finance chairman for Gov. Norm Bangerter's campaign for Utah Governor and carried considerable clout in the Utah Senate, claimed the discussion with Wilkinson dealt with leaks coming out of Wilkinson's office about Savage Brothers. The special committee called to investigate Rogers actions in the meeting found that he was no using undue influence in the meeting. Rogers was also accused of intervening in a lawsuit between the Utah Health Department and a private nursing home represented by a legal firm for which Rogers sometimes acts as a consultant. The special ethics committee also found that Rogers had not acted inappropriately in that instance.- Unless further evidence of wrongdoing was to be introduced, , that should have ended the matter. It didn't. Minutes after the ethics committee announced its findings, Wilkinson was again accusing Rogers of vague, additional improper acts he was un- -, willing to explain but inviting the press to carry out his crusade with a brash statement: "I'm not going to blow V : j any reporters' stories." the stance the and by accusatory Why aggressive Attorney General? Apparently he and Rogers clashed : during a Senate session last week and Rogers won. At last, they gave up and wrapped the slightly drooping flowers around her waist. Proms cost a bundle.
