Thats right, its November and time again for the awarding of the Bartmess Barbs third annual BBs. Idaho - or at -- least about her voting citizens 80,000 of joins as grand prize winners the -- - too silent foot- ball fans of that prestigious university to the south and those wonderful people who make unsolicited sales calls to our homes. Thursday, Nov. WEST VALLEY VIEW 1 1, 1982 by Michele Bartmess Youll have to be the judge as to whether this was a weak year or not. The Barb goes to those 79,762 citizens who voted against an amendment to the Idaho constitution eliminating language that would, if enforced, prohibit Latter-da- y Saints from voting or holding political office. Obviously, the provision has not been enforced for a good long time, since many of the state and national leaders are and have been of the LDS persuasion and practice celestial marriage. It took them long enough to get around to removing it from the constitution. While some of the 80,000 nay in votes were likely nature, there are many people in every state who go into the voting booth and simply make their mark, giving no thought to what the issues are. anti-Morm- Despite the efforts of erstwhile Idahoans, amendment passed almost margin. those the an by 1 The language was written into the states constitution in 1890 when a large number of the states political leaders were The provision was carefully worded to exclude persons who believed in celestial marriages from exercising their franchise or from holding office. anti-Mormo- n. Those are the same people who would refuse to cross party lines if the devil himself was their partys nominee. Having just gone through the voting process, I know how difficult it is to become familiar with the many candidates and issues, but Im proud to say that anyone reading my ballot would have had a pretty hard time determining my political persuasion. Ive never cast a ballot in Idaho, but its nice to know that if Im ever in position to do so, it would now be legal - thanks to the 154,105 who bothered to determine what the issues were. The runnner-ufor this years Barb also is faceless and nameless. But deserving. -- p Runner-u- p status goes to that person, bless his pointed tongue, whoever he was, who first uttered the word fun as an adjective. Im sure he was a broadcast media type. Theyre responsible for at least half of the gaffes we make in our speech. I Ive Earlier I said Id let you judge whether this was a weak year or not. dont know how many times been asked if I have a "fun" job. Thats wrong on two counts. Jobs were not made to be fun. Weekends were. And a fun job, class, experience, etc. grates on the portion of me which enjoyed moments of excellence in grammar, however few they were. Fun, Webster once said, is a noun, but usage as an adjective has become so widespread that Apparently it was. In the past there have been first, second and third place winners and even honorable mention in Bartmess Barb competition. This year I couldnt seem to come up with any other irritants. At least any that I dare put into print. I asked my roommate to list some of the things I complain most about, but she said she didnt have time to spend an hour discussing it. So I asked my coworker, Mike, and his reply was, What dont you gripe about? ? With friends like that I guess maybe Im the one who is deserving of third place - for complaining so much. So, there you have em. The third annual Bartmess Barbs. my dictionary reluctantly recognizes its use as an adjective, but stars it to indicate that it is a colloquialism. Its finding its way into more and more of the quotes from educators that our reporters deal with. Though most of the time it finds its way right back out again when the wielding editor is on the ball. And since I get first crack . . -- blue-penc- il . . . .
