One question sought response to air pollution in Utah County where an Arden Pope study reported a $100 million public heath cost because of pollution.

"I favor those activities that make it easier to register," Orton Herald PhotoJennifer Grigg Valyne Watson, safe ride program director, left, and BYUSA public relations officer Scott Tiffany, call the program an early success. 1 Safe Ride strikes success By LEANN MOODY Herald Correspondent PROVO Organizers of a pilot safe ride program for Brigham Young University students say they are pleased with the success of the program. Figures released this week by the BYU Student Association (BYUSA) show an average of 203 rider per week. Valyne Watson, one of the directors working with the program, said ridership has shown a steady increase since the program began. The program grew out of concerns presented to the Student Advisory Council, which approved the project in January. Once student life administration had given the go ahead, plans were implemented. Actual bus service began six weeks ago. Response from those using the service has been positive, said Watson. "Most of those who have talked to me have said they were glad that the service was being provided." Watson said her own experiences with walking home at night from the library were "pretty scary. The feedback has been that this is a good program." Mark Carley, who also works with student programs, said research indicated the need for the program. He indicated student input over several years paved the way for the development of the program. Watson said a program report including ridership numbers will be presented to the administration at semester's end. She said that if figures showed a need, additional shuttles will be added to the program. Current ridership shows the safe ride program will be continued on a permanent basis. Currently the program involves two shuttles with routes to the north and south end of the campus. The routes run from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. with the most used stops those at the Wilkinson and Talmage buildings. Female riders outnumber with Tuesday and Wednesday showing the most ridership.

But he said designating those areas as wilderness is not necessary. "We don't need any more wilderness," Harrington said. The Repubican said present laws provide adequate protection.

Brochures are available at various locations on campus showing timetable and routes. The northern route will take students as far as Wymount Terrace, the Old Mill Apartment Complex and Branbury Park. The southern route covers housing up to one mile south of the campus. The safe ride program is just on of the recent steps taken by the student service association to help make the campus a safer place.

Asked about other states dump- ing their wastes in Utah. Orton said Utahns need to realize there is business opportunities in storing hazardous wastes if it is fail safe and there are insurances that one big state just can"t dump heav ily on a small state. Harrington said free market forces should decide which industries will be the industries of future. Both candidates said they supported more local governing, but Orton said some problems warrant federal solutions. "Air pollution doesn't stop at a state border." Orton said. On finance, Harrington said first you have to get a congressional membership that truly represents the people. County approves insurance plan By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN three county projects construcof a new bridge at 9600 North, the South Loop Road and the Training School Road.

After delaying action on the matter, commissioners agreed to waive penalty and interest on delinquent taxes owed by Branbury Park development. tion Herald Staff Writer Utah County comPROVO missioners Wednesday approved group insurance plans for county employees that will result in 12.5 percent increase in premiums. Commissioners questioned the increase at Monday's work session, but were told by Dr. Joseph K. Miner that the benefits committee had reviewed the plans and found the increase reasonable. Under questioning. Miner said the committee had not asked for bids from other companies because employees wanted some stability in the plans and did want to switch from one plan to another. The plans include health insurance, dental coverage and vision coverage.
