Show J f . Senator George S. McGovern Senator George S. McGovern of South Dakota spoke in Salt Lake City Tuesday night before students and supporters at the University of Utah Union Building. In his speech the Senator said he wants to change direction of the country that has wandered away so far from those founding ideals that it has almost lost its way. The country doesnt need a revolution of destruction but it does need a rededication to those revolutionary goals that launched the country. Senator McGovern was in Salt Lake campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination. His speech began about one and one half hours after it was originally scheduled to begin. A crowd of about 2,000 persons waited for his arrival. The senator was scheduled for a speaking engagement at Brigham Young University but had to cancel on account of the prospect of casting a vote on the Cooper Church amendment in the Senate during the day. The vote never came so the senator arrived by plane late in the evening. In his speech Sen. McGovern told the students that if elected to the presidency, you and I are going to change the direction of this country. He went on to say that he would stop the killing in Asia and bring the country away from racism, hunger, and Features Fur Fashion At Christmas Lunch The Salt Lake Womens Democratic Club will sponsor a Fur Fashion Show by ZCMI at its Christmas Luncheon to be held at the University Club, 23rd flor, Saturday, Dec. 4, starting with a social hour at 12 noon.

If the Committee decides that tenure should be abolished, other means of orderly institutional management must be substituted Several of the presidents who have already appeared before us have provided a broad perspective of advantages and disadvantages in the present system. Certainly legislators, the Governor, the members of the business community and parents of attending students have voiced strong sentiments about how the present system works. Our task will be to isolate each of the arguments, weighing their merits, and then suggesting a positive, rational alternative, if such exists. We encounter problems, certainly, but possible alternatives to improve or replace tenure may be carefully considered to see if in fact they provide something superior. We must preserve the freedom to teach and freedom to learn, while at the same time rid the educational enterprise of practices which in some instances have tended to preserve irrelevant methods and personnel.

EDITORIAL Y Boys' Clubs Week Commenting on the tendency of politicians to glorify the common man, former President Herbert Hoover once said, Let ns remember that t he great human advances have not been brought about by mediocre men and women but were brought about by distinctly uncommon people. It is a curious fact that when you get sick you want an uncommon doctor; if your car breaks down you want an uncommonly good mechanic. I have met met a father and mother who did not want their children to grow up to be uncommon men and women. May it always be so.
