He also took aim at Shepherd's opponents' especially Waldholtz' promise of a tax cut "lb those who promise tax cuts, you need to realize there's no such thing as a free lunch. You've got to ask the tough question 'where are you going to cut, specifically?'" All three agreed Utah, which ranks 51st in federal education funding, should get its fair share of education dollars and vowedtq fight for those funds. Cook emphasized the control of com - - munities in education. "I think we need to understand that education is primarily a state and local issue," he said. Waldholtz agreed, "Our schools need to be run by parents, teachers, local administrators, and lasdy by the states." The participants also debated how much emphasis should be placed on crime prevention compared to punishment While Waldholtz spoke out in favor of tough sentences, she made a point to qualify her position.

According to technology instruction librarian Kenning Arlitsch, the library will begin offering short, r workshops on using electronic information sources this week. "There is probably no other set of academic skills that students will learn during their college careers which they will use as much as they learn in a library instruction class," Arlitsch said. Because our society relies increasingly on information technology, "those who know how to access information will be way ahead of the game . . . throughout their lives," Arlitsch said. Classes will be offered on a variety of subjects pertaining to electronic information technology.
