Show Page Twelve FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1970 BLM Classifies Burton Submits Land in 3 Counties Ammunition Bill The Bureau of Land ManageA bill to eliminate records kept ment has classified 372,713 acres on purchases of .22 caliber amof public land in Sevier, Piute munition was submitted by Rep. and Garfield Counties, and 0 acres in Uintah and Daggett Counties, for retention in federal ownership. As a result these lands will receive intensified management by BLM under multiple use principles. Robert D. Nielson, BLM state director for Utah, explained that classification was made under direction from Congress which in 1064 enacted the Classification and Multiple Use Act. BLM action was taken after public hearings in Richfield and Vernal with local citizens and public land users. Comments were received that resulted in elimination of 12 isolated tracts totaling 1,087 acres from the classification in Sevier, Piute and Garfield Counties. All comments received concerning the classification in Uintah and Daggett Counties were favorable to the action. Mr. Nielson said classification will prevent acquisition of public lands under the old public sale and agricultural land laws. However, this action does not preclude acquisition of public lands for agricultural development and other public uses under the Public Land Sale Act of 1964, nor does it preclude mineral exploration and development, except on a few small parcels intended for recreation development and a pinon-junipstudy area. 47,-50- er THE SALT LAKE TIMES New System Slated For Fair Exhibits Colleges Challenged To Offer Ways to Implement Cutback The Utah Board of Higher Ed- Laurence J.

Since Congress had exempted other types of ammunition from registration, I felt it is only equitable to act favorably on this proposal, Burton said. best absorb its portion of the austerity measure. Some of the institutions even may face tuition increases to meet hteir budget needs, Roy W. Simmons, Budget and Finance Committee chairman, said. But he was emphatic in pointing out that the Board recommends an institution look first to its capital expenditure budget for building or remodeling programs which might be delayed for the time being. We certainly dont want a tuition increase for any instituSimmons said, tion, but it might be the only way that some of them will be able to provide an adequate educational offering for their students. The Board chose the Capital Facilities deferments, despite critical building needs on some campuses. Such deferments would not as severly impair the educational offering of the institution, as perhaps a cut in operating budget might. Institutional recommendations will be presented to the Board for final decision during the August meeting, now scheduled for August 18 in Salt Lake City.

A new system will be used this year at the Utah State Fair to upgrade the Fine Arts Entries displayed before the public. All entries will be juried or initially judged before going on display. The show is open to all artists in the state who work in oils, watercolor, graphic arts and sculpture. Due to the large number of entries and limited space available, the jury will select those works to be hung and will determine the award winners. Prize money and premiums for the winners total $1465. It was felt that the vast number of entries in former years had made the displays in the Fine Arts Building at the Fairgrounds somewhat congested. By limiting the number of works on display, and not placing a ceiling on the number of entries the public could fully take advantage of the best artwork produced by Utahns. Entry is open to all artists of Utah who are residents, resident students or native born Utahns living outside the state. Judges for the division are Valoy Eaton, Salt Lake City; Harold Woolston, Pleasant Grove; and Ronald L. Bergen, Ogden. All works of art are to be delivered to the Fine Arts Building on Sept. 4, between 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., or Sept. 5, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The show will be held in cooperation with the Utah State Institute of Fine Arts. A reception for all artists entered in the show will be held Sept. 10 at 8:00 p.m. in the Fine Arts Building at the State CAB is Studying Carrier Losses The Civil Aeronautics Board has advised Rep. Sherman P. Lloyd that it is conducting an study on possible solutions to mounting financial loss of local service airlines serving outlying communities. The boards reply came in response to a letter from the Utah Republican expressing concern that without long range solution to the financial squeeze many local carriers would have to reduce service in smaller communities in Utah and other western states. From this study, the CAB hopes to come up with definitive answers of the airline subsidy program and alternatives to the current policies. The study will not only give us precise knowledge of where the subsidy dollar is going, but will tell us how it can be improved to meet the future air service needs in outlying areas. Hundreds of smaller communities are in need of continued and improved air service, especially in view of the fact that other means of transportation are inadequate or in-dep- non-existe- nt, but the smaller air carriers 0.
