Let a major calamity strike a part of the people, and the newspaper leads in lending a helping hand. It is not easy at times, it is most difficult to act faithfully as an adviser to so many masters and yet be subservient to none. The American exercise of the right of a free press is not perfect, but the fact it there is was not achieved easily. Freedom of the press is not the exclusive property of the newsapers. It belongs to each citizen and can endure only so long as he recognizes and practices his part in the whole scheme of things. National Newspaper Week is not so much a time for celebration as a time for renewed dedication to the essential principles for which this and every American newspaper exists. Regardless of how difficult the problems of an era may be, so long as the free press exists and prospers a primary tool for their solution remains in the hands of the people Fort Collins, Colo., Coloradoan. Reach to Recovery Program for Mastecomy Patients More than 1.5 million people in the U.S. have been stricken with cancer and survived but simple survival is not enough. One of the major concerns of the American Cancer Society is the quality of survival: not merely the cure, but also the rehabilitation. Every cancer patient feels himself involved in a life and death struggle and the cost of winning often comes high, sometimes in the form of disfigurement or partial disability because of drastic surgery. These people need to be restored to functional, hopeful lives, and their survival which was obtained at such a cost, might not be wasted. Futility and despair are emotional cripplers as devastating as any physical han- dicap. One of the most effective programs aimed at overcoming such problems is the lleach to Recovery program for women who have undergone a mastectomy (surgical removal of a breast) . There are several volunteers in Utah who have had this kind of surgery and want to help other women in the difficult physical and emotional period just after the operation. They have received special training from the Utah Division of the Cancer Society and stand ready, at the request of the doctor, to help the patient recover phvsi-call- y and mentally. lliey visit the patient in the hospital and help lift her out of the usual post operation depression, saying, in effect, Look at me. Im happy, useful, normal looking and still feminine, and you can be the same. The volunteer gives the patient pointers on exercise to get back the full use of her arm and provides her with a temporary prosthesis and simple materials for exercise. . oOo- - The worlds first rural mile of concrete was laicT down in 1909, in a strip near the Michigan State Fair Grounds. Now within Detroit's city limits, this piece of highway was prepared specifically for the use of motor vehicles. consolidation or even elimination of old programs, according to G. Homer Durham, Utah Commission of of Higher Education. In the Sepetmber issue of Utah System Summary, newsletter published by the Office of the Commissioner, Dr. Durham, pointing to the need for innovation and change, forecast the necessity for subtraction and elimination, rather than reproducing past history of adding ever new layers on the old. Future innovations are pressing, but instead of an supply of new dollars in addition to annual increases of the old, innovations will tend more often to come from internal realignments and resourcefulness. Durham was careful to label the opinions expressed in the newsletter as his own. They were expressed in a special essay entitled Rethinking of Utah Higher Education. The creation of the State Board of Higher Education by the Higher Education Act of 1969 provided basis for his analysis. In placing the states three community and two technical colleges in the new System, Utah law recognized some simple facts, long in the making. High er. education in America, heretofore focused on universities ever-in-creasi- ng and. four year colleges, is no longer that perspective alone, he said. The change now underway which will shift away from the traditional drive of all higher education institutions to become prototypes of the great university centers. The reputation of Utahs universities, as individual institutions with distinctive personalities. may well emerge further, in the future, under the Boards role determining guidance, and with greater enhancement and self realization than becoming another Harvard of the West. Despite the move toward integration and consolidation, he predicted the University of Utah and Utah State University will not suffer by virtue of either membership in the System or higher educations continuing In fact, their role as uinversities, long run, may well be enhanced. On the other hand, some of the roles now played by the universities may be better fulfilled by other institutions in the system, I strongly feel that the in-- : emal nature and character of he University of Utah does not end itself to playing a double ole effectively as a compre-- ! State College presents a remarkable opportunity, Durham said, not to become a junior University of Utah, but to achieve a distinctive life of its own. Weber could use its already existing synthesis of vocational technical offering and baccalaureate programs to be even more flex-ibi- y responsible to present and future. Durham also foresaw a turn to less formal means of post secondary education and somehow, in someway, I feel I SA SED GRAPEVINE Dale O. Zabriskie, press sec- retary of Sen. Frank E.
