Just remark that "Thauk heavens they aren't worse." Should they become worse, just be grateful that they aren't still worse! I am often tempted to cancel my subscription to tbe paper because of the pessimistic attitude the reporters seem to possess. And when I listen to the news over TV, I strain for something on the brighter side, but do not hear it nearly as often as I wottlit like to. we all have so many things to be thankful for. and if we should complain, just look around us and find how fortunate we Pre as compared to the many millions in other lands that are far worse off. We really should bow our heads in shame if we complain.

Last year there were only 12 'NICHE veterinary scholarships availal.il,? to Utah students, while at the same time, there were 38 apphcants. Mr. Olson aiso implied that without a WICIIE scholarship. students would not be accepted by an veterinary school because of the cost of educating the student. This just is not the case. It is true. hcwever, that students are terced to pay higher tuition, because they are a burden on the taxpayers of that state (Utah employs the same policy). It should be emphasized that a AIME scholarship is not necessary for a student to he accepted into a veterinary or dental school. Realizing that WIOIE scholarships are very limited in number, my question is: Why should the state pay for the schooling of a student who plans to leave the state and practiee elsewhere and at the same time deprive an equally qualified and needy student who plans to return to the state? The proposal becom.n a matter of economics.

So the likelihood is that Brezhnev will try to remain at his post at least through next year's 25th Communist party conferenee by which time he will be 70. This clearly will mean a greater sharing of power and responsibility with his even more elderly colleagues. But Brezhnev more than any previous Soviet leader always has done a good deal to associate the members of this inner circle with the formulation and implementation of his cautious policies.
