The heading of the section which refers to a code of student rights is entitled EDUCATION-AGENC- SOCIAL CHANGE." Everyone familiar with the jargon of the socialist revolution knows that the term social change refers to the introduction of socialism. WHERE DOES GOVERNOR RAMPTON FIT IN Since the report referred to was produced by the Governors Committee and delivered to the Governor, it is pertinent to ask where Governor Rampton fits into the picture. This is especially true, since the story is prevalent around the Capitol that the recommendations and demands of the report are gradually being implemented. After William G. Bruhn, Director of Utahs Department of Community Affairs was convicted on September 23 of obscene conduct. Governor Rampton supported Bruhn. Rampton issued a statement, which was reported in the Deseret News on September 24 as follows: I will not at this time suspend Mr. Bruhn from his position. The offense of which the City Court has convicted him did not grow out of nor is it in any way connected with the performance of his duties. These incredible are But they become understandable after you have read Focus on Children and Youth. It is worth noting carefully that Governor Rampton not only refuses to discharge Bruhn from his position, but refuses to even suspend him pending his trial on Such conduct by the appeal. Governor forces one to ask the question why such concern over statements. one convicted individual. Governor Rampton showed no such concern over the fate of Ira K. Hearn, the recently discharged executive of director the Governor's Liquor Commission. What is the key to the Governors conduct in the Bruhn case? Is this to be the case on which the Governor and certain Legislative leaders plan to justify the need for sweeping repeal of legislation which restricts and represses individual freedoms? Is Utah ready now for repeal of laws such as those fornication.

Underway for several years, this gradual policy change is now official.

Since Secretary Kissinger and Ambassador Moynihan appear to be the spokesmen for those that know what is going on. maybe the time has come to have them explain where this change in foreign policy is taking us. For those that still believe the U.S. should be a defender of freedom, the destination may not be where they want to go. and the time we have to change our course is growing short. Note. Solzhenitsyn, one of the great writers of our times, states that two historical processes are occurring in the world today. One is a preeess of spiritual liberation in the U.S.S.R. and in other Communist countries.

Dallas Ogden, vice president of the West Virginia Taxpayers Association and a resident of Kanawha County in that state, warned the Virginia taxpayers against the type of state legislator who was put in office by just one special interest group and who takes an active interest only in bills affecting that particular pressure group.
