Among them are Jesus Christ, His Saints, Martin Luther, Abraham Lincoln, The Kennedys and countless others who have given their lives or sacrificed untold hardships in dedication to their dream. Few of the young revolutionaries today comprehend the seriousness of their self implication i n radical politics. To be a revolutionary one must be willing to die for his convictions. While a select few of the revolutionists realize that the revolution must begin within ones self, most feel their sole duty is to criticize and literally destroy the government. Feeling little responsibility to humanity but pledging themselves to Utopian ideals or bust they would if possible grasp the powers they so vehemnently despise under the pretense of alleviatihg all ills. In actuality they would use this power to achieve 'their' goals, not the goals of the people. Regardless of who governs or by what doctrine there will always be those who seek to destroy. Soon power struggles in their new government would fill it with corruption. We must be wary of those whose sole purpose is to criticise and negate. When criticism is offered it is our duty as citizens to determine whether the critic has positive plans to replace existing values or institutions. Utopia and happiness will not be given to us on the silver platter of democracy. Expectations of perfection must be balanced by willingness and ability to contribute perfection. Becoming slightly more personal in the area of criticism there is the criticism of individuals. Criticism of others or group therapy when they are not present isoften refered to as gossip. Gossip is a negative criticism and offers the one talked about no help since he is not present to benefit. Criticism of others is usually accomplished behind the mask of brotherly love. "I criticize you because I care and want to see you change,'' is often the explanation. If one really considered his friend he would not only suggest beneficial ideas but offer to help. When people are criticised they are generally aware of whether it is positive or negative. If a person leaves his friend feeling two inches tall and hopeless he has, in all probability applied negative criticism. Another instance where criticism can be dangerously misused is in reference to the self. People consistently make harsher judgements on themselves than they would dream of giving others for the same wrong doing. They then proceed to further their application of negative criticism by offering themselves no goal or direction to aid the uncomfortable situation. People often feel justified in continuing their bad actions by periodically judging themselves harshly. often times goes unheard or unrecognized by our society. We as students are better educated than those of any other period of time, but does this give us the right to destroy or buck the establishment? Education teaches us to learn by others mistakes. Upon reading an article in the POST about Barney Rossett the publisher of most poronography sold in America, I discovered to a degree what I feel to be his I like sex books for motive. their own sake and because they offend middle-clas- s squares. His Nobody message seems clear dares take a stand against me! Glance at a family approved magazine like LOOK or LIFE, very little difference any more between their pictures and PLAYBOYS. Am I trying to be a White Knight or goodie by being concerned about what goes on before my eyes or ami sheltering myself from the facts of life? If I were I would sit complacently, never stirring or causing a ripple in the pond, never approving of that which offends me but never being man enough to take a stand against it. I wonder if old foggies like J. Edgar Hoover are so obsolete and fuzzy when they report that Filthy literature is a great moron maker that creates criminals faster than we can build jails to house them. Is there wisdom in their warning worries? My position is this Drop the security blanket and take a stand! The Cigarette Habit with their families, during their meals, at work, at play, while they shop and in dozens of other situations. The people in the show take the four-pa- rt smoking test and the smokers in the audience can take it right along with them. The answers are evaluated just after each part is given. The tests were developed by Dr. Daniel Horn, Director of the National Clearinghouse for smoking and Health of the U.S. Public Health Service. During the programs, he and a physician, Dr. Donald T. Fredrickson, will give the tests. Each of the tests covers a different subject. They are (1) Do you want to change your smoking habits? (2) What do you think the effects of smoking are? (3) Why do you smoke? and (4) Does the world around you make it easier or harder to change your smoking habits? what they know about cigarette Test questions are designed smoking and how they feel about to give smokers psychological it.

In an effort to jar smokers out of their complacency and help them see themselves and their habit more clearly, the National Educational Television (NET) Network will present a TV show to Utah viewers entitled Why You Smoke A Self Test. A 30 minute series of programs, described as a Compelling Human Document, will be shown each night March 6 (Monday through Friday) from 10 to 10:30 p.m. on KUED, channel 7. The program will help smokers find out just why they smoke and how they can quit. It really gets down to cases about the cigarette habit and offers viewers the chance to take a four-patest.
