Show Westminster College r-- rvrr Y Volume 30, No. 8 Friday, November 12, 1982 Salt Lake City, Utah Reagan Returns to Utah Westminster Students Elected to Three Key Positions UIA Adopts Legislation Westminster was a prominent force at this years Utah Intercollegiate Assembly," said Kevin Compton, Chief of Staff at UIA. We had three of the top executive positions. They were Governor, Executive Director, and Chief of Staff, said Compton. U. S. Senator Orrin Hatch, Salt Lake Mayor Ted Wilson, and John Dechart, former UIA Governor, spoke to the delegates. UIA provides the best means at the present to gather statewide student opinion because of the number of students participating, said Kristen Preston, UIA Governor. "It is better than the Council of Student Body Presidents. Individual interests are set aside in order to gather consensus on issues of importance, said Preston. Every piece of legislation brought by the delegation was considered. The top five pieces of legislation selected for the Utah Student Lobby Conference to lobby to the state legislature reflect the quality of the session. The five pieces of legislation adopted by UIA were: r A resolution urging legislation to require state colleges and universities to accept all transfer credit from two-yecredit. colleges as bachelor-degre- e A resolution urging the Utah Liquor Control Commission to permit alcoholic beverage advertisements i i I I four-yea- ar i in college newspapers. A recommendation for the formation of a separate board of vocational technical education with representation from industry and education to coordinate and administer vocational education in the State. A resolution urging the State Legislature to protect the students right to live in housing of their choice. This is aimed at a situation at BYU in which many students are required to break leases and move out of condominiums which are not approved by the administration. A resolution recommending to the State Legislature a 6.5 percent increase in tuition for the coming year. Arriving twenty minutes late, President Ronald Reagan addressed a GOP rally at the Salt Palace October 29. He ran up the stairs to where he wasto speak, said Don Holladay, a member of the staff of Howard Nielson, U. S. Congressman-elec- t. The crowd of strong Republican supporters was very enthusiastic, said Holladay. U. S. Senator Orrin Hatch spoke to the crowd first and then introduced the President. .. . remarks (Partial text the Press of Secretary) Weber State College exemplified the most adequate preparation for the session. This is reflected in the number of delegates elected to executive committees, said Preston. Weber State sponsored a class for students to author legislation, debate that legislation, and find its flaws prior to the session. They perceived the importance of UIA, which is evidenced by their thorough preparation, attitude, and behavior at the session. said Preston. UIA is valuable to Westminster, as well as to state schools, because it allows Westminsters participation in an intercollegiate event, helps the college gain respect among other colleges and universities, and provides opportunity for student interaction. Most successful delegates are those who are dedicated to making the session work and initiating debate. Kevin Compton, Chief of Staff, was instrumental in the flow of the session, Preston said. He kept the staff working and was a great asset to the session. We must look to the future in grooming delegates in order to keep Westminsters views well known, Preston said. Sue Snow Thieves Take Rings and Cash for s Theft marred the Westminster experience two handicapped students last Thursday. Gary Nadauld returned to the men's locker room in Payne Gymnasium about 3 p.m., Nov. 4, to find that his locker had been broken into. While he played basketball upstairs, thieves used bolt cutters to remove the padlock from his locker. They stole two rings valued at $225. The thieves also took $19 in cash from an unlocked locker near Nadauld s. Brian Larsen, director of Westminsters security, said there are no suspects. There have been numerous break-in- s in that locker room, said Larsen. There is a big sign in the room explaining that it is not safe to leave valuables in the lockers. Not very much can be done once somebody rifles through a locker like that. The theft has been reported to the Salt Lake day to enter Westminster as a regular student. The rings taken have special sentimental value to Nadauld. One was his high school class ring a rose sapphire set in 10K gold with a V encrusted in the top. The other ring was a small gold band. Nadauld had worn the band on his little finger for six years. Its cash value was not great. He received the ring as a gift from his girlfriend. She was handicapped too, and they were planning to be married. She was killed in a car pedestrian accident in January of 1980. The ring was all he had left to remember her by. 1 just started to cry, Nadauld said. Those rings meant an awful lot to me. He wonders why the thieves didnt take his watch too. It was worth more City Police Department. money. The Victim the janitorial Cary Alan Nadauld is enrolled in Columbus Community program sponsored by the Center. He is handicapped. Students in this program receive hands-o- n experience in the trade. He hopes one by the President, proinJeJ by the Office Here you understand the importance of honest work, family life and belief in God. Your dedication to these traditional values made the Utah desert bloom, and let me tell you: that same American spirit will make this great country come alive again too. Inflation was public enemy number one in 1980. It had hit 18 percent in January of 1980. We are doing a little better. We are doing a lot better. We have brought inflation all the way down to 4.8 percent so far this year ... We are not out of the woods yet, but we can see daylight beyond the trees. We are determined to find jobs for our people, balance the budget, protect the tax cut and whittle away at the national debt. No President can do all that alone. I need all the help I can get in Washington. And that brings me to the point of this visit. I count on Utahs delegation in the Congress. Key votes on issues like the balanced budget amendment show why it is so important to Orrin, Jim, and Dan, and to send Howard Nielson to Washington. Utah needs them, I need them, and America needs them. You know your delegation in the Congress may be small, but they are scrappers. They remind me of something Dwight Eisenhower once said: Its not the size of the dog in the fight that really counts. Its the size of the fight in the dog. re-ele- Sue Snow .1 U Its just disgusting that someone would steal from a handicapped person, said Brent Nadauld, the victims father. Nadauld and his father hope that the thieves will have a change of heart and return the rings. Betty Christensen cont'd. page 2, column 3 ct Photo by Ron Czajka Uj |
