The proposed platform opposes abortion, gun control and the Equal Rights Amendment. It supports the states right to work laws, more energy development, turning over federal land to the states and strengthening the criminal justice system, officials said. The platform calls for prompt compensation of radiation victims, equal rights for minorities except homosexuals, reduced Criticism from Democratic quarters focused the rejection of proposals for a 4 percent cost of living increase for welfare recipients, and to lengthen the time unemployed workers can receive state benefits. I think that just boiled down to a political issue, and it shouldnt have been, said Carbon. Minority Whip John Garr, Unless the economy improves sharply, were going to have a lot greater need. Maybe folks will realize Republicans are not interested in the peoples needs. Gov. Scott Matheson had asked the Legislature to extended the time a person can receive benefits from 41 to 52 weeks. But Republican leaders said it would force up the unemployment tax paid by employers, and would consequently hurt small business.

The councils decision to entertain bids doesnt necessarily mean the building will be sold, according to CEU President James R. Randolph. He said it depends on the amount of the bids. Because of a $140,000 deficit in auxiliary services, the possibility of selling the building has been considered by the council. This deficit came partly from the temporary use of the old Carbon Hospital building as a dormitory, according to Dr. Ralph Vanderlinden, dean of students. He said costs of operating the old hospital as a dormitory during the construction of new apartment units was much higher than anticipated. Heating bills for the building became very high because it was designed to have a constant supply of fresh air brought in from the outside instead of recirculating air. The hospital is no longer in use by the school following the completion of the new apart- community clubs and organizations. Sale of the married students dormitory, 694 E. 400 North, could wipe out some of the deficit. The building has been appraised at between $142,000 and $170,000. Some heating and plumbing repairs are needed for the building.
