Views expressed in the articles represent the consensus of the class. Say the authors: We were prompted to act after studying works by Kalph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Tboreau. We were discussing Thoreaus ideas put forth in Civil Disobedience in which he incites individuals to put their beliefs on the line for causes which tluy feel are important.

Articles submitted to Common Carrier are reviewed by the board which works independently of Tnie une reporforial and editorial policies. The board either approves articles for publication or rejects them. Articles are encouraged from individuals and groups.

Tne following is our effort, as students tu present a ln'ormed before the next elections and support men who share our concern and have the interests of the state and community at heart. And we appeal to the general public to the role that the university plays in its life and act to support its jontmuing excellence. This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it. Ralph Waldo Emerson piCu- - lem, stimulate thought and evoke action. The citizens of tJtah are in danger of losing some of the states most valuable assets. We, as students, feel an obligation to voice our concern over the reduction of quality educational services, cultural benefits, and privileges wh'ch contribute to the excellence of the University of Utah. We are acutely aware of the loss of $1.2 million cut from the Utah State Board of Higher E d u cations recommended budget by the Utah State Legislature. This cut in funds has created a financial crisis which will severely limit University of Utah contributions to Utah and its citizens. Vital Institution The University of Utah, as a vital, functioning institution, offers citizei s of this state numerous opportunities and services. Each person should examine closely the value of the university to himself and to his community.

But work is practically unheard of new by ,v the youngser young, and, has to grow up knowing theory at best, he said. d Increased Rapidly During the past four years, University of Utah enrollment has increased rapidly, while its portion of higher education appropriation has radically decreased. It is a gross understatement to say that a budgetary problem has been developing at the university.
