We believe, said Mr. Blackwcider, that tins committee should be questioning the wisdom of proceeding with more upstream irrigation projects which further aggravate the salinity problem. Maze of Obscenity Rulings Puzzling, Librarians Hear By John Cummins Tribune Education Editor The challenge facing librarians m dealing with potentially obscene materials is not a question of what is right or wrong morally but determining what is right or wrong legally in a maze of often conflicting laws, members of the Utah Library Assn, were told Fnday. Speaking at a luncheon session highlighting the association's 6st annual convention at Hotel Utah, Ira A. Huggins, an Ogden attorney, said no facet of law has been in the courts more often or wwi greate.' uncertainty and disagreement than obscenity and pornography. Vagna, Conflicting Rulings Noting that even U.S. Supreme Court decisions on pornography tend to be vague ard conflicting, Hr. Huggins told You have a fickle public and a fickle communities fickle among law to deal with. The only tiling that is constant is change. Dunr.g the session George Tanner, head librarian at Utah Technical College the librarians, at Proxo, became association president, succeeding Mrs. Phyllis Shaw, librarian at Horace Mann School, Ogden. Guy Schuurman, head of the Salt was Lake County Library Services, named president-elect- . The association concluded its convention Fnday afternoon with a senes of sectional meetings and workshops. Familiarity With Law In outlining problems concerning pornographic materials, Mr. Huggins, a member of the State Board of Regents, counseled the librarians to become famil iar with Utah codes defining pornographic matenals for your own protection." He noted the 1972 U.S. Supreme Court decision m the case of Milter vs. Califora decision which largely left the nia definition of hard core pornography up to state laws and local community standards dealt with a California code that is similar in content to Utah statutes. Definition of Pornography The Utah code, Mr. Huggins said, holds any material or performance pornographic if, considered as a whole applying contemporary community standards, its predominant appeal is to prurient interest, aid its go.s substantially beyond customary limits of candor in the description of nudity, sex or excretion. The Utah code leaves the question of whether the predominant appeal of mate rial is to prunent interest to be determined with reference to average adults. However, Mr. Huggms said the Utah statute holds a person guilty of dealing m harmful matenals when he knowingly distnbutes them to a minor. Specific Cases Difficult the rules may seem simple, the problem for hbranaus occurs when they attempt to apply them to specific cases, he said. How are you going to determine and apply contemporary siandards or what are the limits of candor or just who is an average adult?" Mr. Huggins asked the more than 500 bbranans. While Noting that contemporary community standards differ between communities and persons, he said that taking the Mil ler case literally could mean that matenals entitled to First Amendment protection (ireedom of speech and press) in the larger, more populous areas may not be entitled to such protection in other communities. He said library boards should constantly keep themselves aware of what changes in community standards as well as changes people will accept m coun decisions and laws regarding obscene matenals. Earlier, Dr. M. Donald Thomas, Salt Lake City superintendent of schools, addressed association members on the need fir more humanness in leadership decisions. We do not need more management by objectives, behavioral objectives or supplies, but we do need more heart ar.d more faith in people, Dr. Thomas said.

Salt Lake City recorded a high of degrees, live degrees above the normal 48 for the date.
