Bringing outside resources to Utah won't solve higher education's money problems, but it is an investment the people of the state can't afford to overlook. This position is stated strongly by Dr. Gien L. Taggart, new president of Utah State University. Dr. Taggart believes that both USU and the University of to Utah have the potential attract a great deal more research activity which would bring a double payoff to the H stitution.

We should invest at least enough to attract quality, staff, and particularly that increment which means the difference between 'good' and very good, " the significant research effort, Dr, Taggart said. The native of Cache Valley, who himself received the baccalaureate degree at USU ami f then went to the University Wisconsin for graduate work and then on to national and and international government education service, would like to change the pattern. Dr, We have a lot to accomplish," Dr. Taggart states. "The University of Utah and Utah State University should develop divisions of responsibility." Throughout the nation and the world it is becoming increasingis ly apparent that education the key to economic, social and cultural progress. Dr, Taggart notes. Utah, with its historic eonmi't-nien- l to education and its strong heritage of individual excellence and achievement is in a position to make educational investment pay off. Dr. Taggart says. "If you really study the situation, we cant afford to do anything else."

In unusually quick at ion, the board Tuesday night around committee stepped procedures to approve immediate purchase of educational materials designed to dramatize the truth about substances which modify mood and behavior. Tito substances include not i drugs, but also alcohol and tobacco. School administrators will review a wide selection of texts, films, sound-slidpresentations and pamphlets. From the total listing a workable program will be evolved which will give students factual information of lie dangers of drug use. The action came after board members heard results of a narcotics survey conducted in the citys four high only e I i schools The last spring. suvey, extensively reported in the Deseret News Sept. 4, indicated that 11.2 per cent of students responding had used marijuana at some time; 9.5 per cent had used barbiturates; 6.7 per cent had used amphetamines, and 3 per cent had used hallucinogens. Marvin L. Pugh, pupil personnel director who reported the survey, said lie thought it was the most accurate available iniormation on drug use. Dr. H. Jess Brown, science said the present specialist, curriculum provides for some discussion of drugs at the upper elementary grade level, with increasing emphasis in the junior and senior high of schools. The intensity instruction is most detailed and elaborate where use and exposure to drugs seems to he greatest, lie said. F i recommendations approved Tuesday night by tlte hoard include: e That city schools ex- amine and evaluate material concerning drugs as to its possible effectiveness. That the Curriculum Center by a central agency for gathering and assembling drug information for teachers. That workshops he Instruction for teachers to acquaint them with effective instructional meterials and data. (The first such workshop is scheduled Tuesday at 4 p.m. for all secondary seoience and health teachers and principals. Bruce Woolley of the Utah Pnarmaceutical Association Eskridge and Sgt. of the Narcotics Don Di- vision, Salt Lake City Police Department, will speak ol recent drug use and abuse in the area.)

There's Lots Of Static About This We moved here to Cedar City in July and when we went to register to vote we found out that we couldn't because wc havent been residents long enough. Then we wrote to our California county and were told If a person moves to another state with the intention of making it his residence, he loses his residence in (his state. So now we arent residents uf either, so how can we vote? A.H.A., Cedar City. Answer is, you cant. Theres been a lot of static over such laws in various slate. Some few have modified them so that such a person as Idaho did in its last Legislature you can vote for President. Many people think its a lass of denied the privilege to vote for basic human rights to President just because one has moved. The Utah Legislature has considered changing its law, but so far it has not. Sorry, its too bad. Can you fell me how peanuts arc sailed in flic shell? C.E., Salt Lake City. Sure. They are soaked in a saturated brine solution for a few minutes, then the air is pumped out by a vacuum process. When air is the brine is drawn into the peanut through the pores in the shell.
