A graduate munications class Brigham Young com- from Univ- Lake Center 595 Salt interviewed Lake residents in a random sample late in July and found that, on the average, only 53 percent could answer each of ersity-Salt about eight questions the MX missile controversy. However, 79.8 percent were in general opposition to the current proposal for basing it in Utah and Nevada. The easiest question for respondents to ane swer asked for a to the response Current statement that Air Forte proposals tall for the MX missile to be located in Utah The and Nevada. majority of the sample, 86.6 percent, chose the correct answer, true. The hardest question for them was one asking for a true-falsresponse to the statement that "Based on 1980 dollars, the MX missile is proposed by the Air Force to cost $20 to $25 billion." Only 20.2 percent answered that false statement correctly. (The Air Force estimates the cost according to Utah newspapers - at a minimum of $33.8 billion.) Overall the Salt Lake respondents averaged a score of 9.44 on an eight question test with a perfect score being 25. Questions were weighted according to difficulty. The study was done, according to class instructor Dr. Ralph D.

It was found however, that the knowledge level as measured by the test accounted for only one percent of the variability in attitudes. Education, political philosophy, and income, on the other hand, accounted together for 41.2 percent of the variability of attitudes toward the MX. Men were slightly more knowledgeable than women on the test, scoring 11.2 compared to the 8.07 score of women. Also, as the education level of the reincreased, spondents their knowledge of the MX missile increased. Those who noted up to a high school education averaged 9 points, while and college graduates e graduates averaged 10.54 and 10.85, respectively. Although all groups on the political spectrum reacted unfavorably toward the missile, those who viewed themselves as liberal strongly were the most opposed. The strongly conservative respondents ranked nearly even with the more moderate liberals in opposition to the MX. Conservatives and those designating a position between the conservatives and liberals were the lowest groups on the scale, indicating the least disapproval toward the missile. Among income groups, those with the most favorable attitudes toward MX are those with incomes of $50,000 a year and higher and the middle income group earning between $20,000 and $30,000 per year. One-thirof the higher income group show favorable toward MX. All other income groups show a very low toward MX. "Basically, we found that people are willing to form attitudes about a public issue."

No apologies are necessary for our beautiful state and its diversity of scenic attractions, from one end of the state to the other. Unaccountable centuries of erosion have created features of unmatched beauty in some portions of the state and yet such natural attractions as our own Mt. Catherine east of Fillmore still stands in all its majesty as a suggestion to our minds that perhaps the eroded areas of our state might have been massively covered with beautiful timber and vegetation at some previous time. Far too often, this vast exhibit of natural beauty, extensive variety of flora and fauna, water and other natural resources are taken for granted and often seriously abused by some thoughtless individuals. The influence of spreading population, poor land use, and other encroachments on outdoor recreation resources was gradual since settlement of our state in 1847, but is now accelerating and demands are more dedicated vigil by our citizens and a more thoughtful public, with an awareness and concern for what is happening.
