He said that the timing would depend partly on whether or not Mrs. Chynoweth chooses to contest extradition to Utah. the disappearance or slaying of six other polygamists in Utah, California and Mexico in the past few years.

Today, campus political activism has waned. Disillusionment Cited in College Students By Con Psarras activism? They are not angry anymore ; theyre apathetic they accept things the way they are and feel nothing can be done about it, declares Dr. James B. Mayfield of University of Utah. Tribune Staff Writer and militant during the 1900s, Angry they set fire to campus buildings and marched on statehouses. Today, college students are passive, disillusioned and skeptical aliout politics. So agree two political science professors, Dr. James B. Mayfield of the University of Utah and Dr. Ray Briscoe of Westminster College. They describe a trend among the attitudes of the average college student that is characterized by a return to the less idealistic, more moderate political mood of the 1950s. Eisenhower Era What were experiencing now is a period more like the Eisenhower Era of the '50s than the Abbie Hoffman Era of the 60s, said Dr. Briscoe, who is president of the Wasatch Opinion Research Corp. In the 1950s a person went to college because it would help him get a job. Political attitudes then tended to be those of moderation, he said. "The political temper of the 1960s was you by contrast one of extremism or a radical were an liberal. There was no middle ground, he added. Abbie Hoffman Era, The named after the radical defendant of the 1969 Chicago Seven Trial, began in 1963 with the assasination of President John F. Kennedy, and ended with the resignation of President Nixon in 1974. Dr. Briscoe said. Tremendous Anger "There was tremendous anger during that era due to the Vietnam War, Kent State, etc., Dr. Mayfield said. "The student of the 60s perceived his government as insulated, unwilling to listen or respond to the problems of people. "Students today are disillusioned. They see their government as corrupt and immoral. They are not angry anymore; theyre apathetic they accept things the way they are and feel nothing can be done about it, Dr. Mayfield added. mfi "No, I dont think so, Dr. Mayfield said. "I dont see an issue on the horizon that has the potential of galvanizing students toward the sort of activism that happened in the 60s. .Although students today are less politically active than their recent predecessors, they still constitute a strong political power, Dr. Briscoe "Weve not yet reverted completely back to the 50s attitudes, Dr. Briscoe said, "but its getting close. "Students still go to college seeking the identity thing, a wholeness in life concept. They still play around and throw Frisbees, but a seriousness has returned to the campuses and students are realizing again the economic side of an education, the preparation for a career." he added. Moderates Listed Dr. Mayfield cited a survey showing that over 50 per cent of persons under 30 years of age classify themselves as neither politically liberal nor conservative, but as moderates, in the middle of the spectrum. This is similar to attitudes of the '50s but differs greatly from those of a decade ago. Does this mean history wall repeat itself with a new wave of political said. "Whereas (in Salt Lake City) the east bench used to elect government officials, today the University of Utah elects mayors and commissioners. Dr. Briscoe said. Youthful Figures "Thats why you have youthful figures in local government," he said. He cited Salt Lake City Mayor Ted L. Wilson and City Commissioner Glenn N. Greener as examples. The two professors agree that political idealism isnt dead among college students, but rather it lies dormant. "You see a lot more students looking toward people like consumer advocate Ralph Dr. Briscoe feels idealism is only as strong as the commitment that accompanies it. "For example, the people who started the environmental movement back in the 60s are still the strong environmentalists today. That idealism has continued, he said. Similarly, whats being bred today a resentment toward hypocrisy. Whether it be in government or in their personal lives, students are looking for more realism and honesty in their relationships and goals." Dr. Briscoe is saiil d d employes 31 (grades through 40) will receive 2 xk per cent raises. In addition to the salary adjustments, approximately 1,500 state employes will receive selective salary increases next year based on a joint survey conducted by the state personnel office, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County and the University of Utah, the foundation reported. are All adjustments in salaries beyond the regular merit increases of 3 2 per cent given yearly. Employes must reeieve a satisfactory or better rating by their supervisor to qualify for the yearly merit raise. Utah law provides that the states pay plan be adjusted automatically to meet cost of living changes. The 1977 legislature amended adjustment provisions to stipulate that they be made on years to the degree that funds permit, and salary increases years be more during selective to achieve balances in pay scales between employes of the private and public sector. Parley to Mull Prison Overcrowding Possible solutions to the problem of an overcrowded inmate population at the Utah State Prison will be voiced during a public hearing Thursday, :30 p.m.. in the Governors Board Room at the Capitol. 1 At last count, inmate population stood at 925 approximately 125 more than the facility is equipped to handle. Gov. Scott M. Matheson called the heaing to enable the large number of proposed solutions to be expresssed. John A. Smith, chairman of a task force studying the alternatives, will present a progress report on the variety of options being examined. The alternatives include: Housing a select number of inmates in county jails. Transferring to other sites a number of prisoners who do not pose high security risk and are involved in work release programs. Building additional medium security facilities at the prison or in different locations. Establish specialized treatment centers with vocational training and mental health facilities nearby. Using a combination of all elements. The task force has also estimated that the facility will have 1,075 prisoners by 198U; 1.140 by 1985; and 1.230 by 1990 Storm Mountain Area '"MU' "" S.L.

A waitress at the Ramada Inn restaurant reports that the newest hobby of many Utah Jaycees is to drop into a restaurant in the late afternoon and enjoy a minibottle of bourbon along with a piece of pie. What a combination. Even I wouldn't drink bourbon with a pie chaser. Its amazing how many Salt Lakers havent been watching the Nixon-Frointerview's on television. I was in a crowd of people Saturday and all but about 10 couples night one (a lady) said they havent any interest at all in what Richard Nixon tells Robert Frost, or vice versa. ONE FELLOW IN THE CROWD commented: "What I would really like to see on television is Anita Bryant interviewing Truman Capote. Now that would be worth watching. The big new boom in the antique business is old church furniture. Old pulpits and pews and hymn racks are bringing premium prices from collectors of Americana. So, if you have an unused pulpit down in the basement or some hymn racks, you might have a fortune. la't22 r Nows d sec- smoking Lx al Employes of the State of Utah receive salary increases next year averaging 7.7 per cent, according to the Utah Foundation. In a study of salary increases made by the private tax research group, the Inundation found that a $6,350,000 appropriation for salary adjustments by the 1977 session of the legislature will mean increases of 2.5 per cent for some higher-paiemployes and as much as 27 per cent for a few state workers. According to the foundation, a new pay plan formulated by the state d personnel office calls for salary adjustments ranging from 2 per cent to 4 per cent. Lower paid workers (grades one through ten) will receive 4 per cent pay hikes, while comes up with an interesting. observawho Today will - tion: V i Study Notes State Jobs Pay Raises Dan Valentines He I f - ? v i 'vX ' V 7 ?
