Show FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1973 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Realistic Student Government New ASUU President Pledges ( The reality on campus in 1973 differs markedly from the activism of the 60s when students tried to reshape the world, says Clark Campbell, president-elec- t of the Associated Students of the University of Utah. Young peoples concerns have shifted from Vietnam, the draft and social issues to more pragmatic objecties like gaining an education and a job, explains the mechanical engineering junior from Salt Lake City. The reality has changed, he says, like the transition from the homecoming, house decoration songfest images of the 50s to the protests and demonstrations of the last decade. Now, were kind of settling down to a realistic approach to the limitations of student power, he adds. Does that mean student activism is passe? Its waning, says Mr. Campbell. Whether its still combustible, I dont know. Among my peer group and those in student government, activism is outmoded. Mr. Campbell believes his appraisal of the student moods was reflected in his election, following a campaign in which he chided opponents for making 24-year-- prounrealistic, Carstudent mises about power. the colors, party Reality rying he offered voters a limited student government with such primary and attainable objectives as an effective liaison with the pie-in-the-s- ky University administration. In fact, says Mr. Campbell, that link will be the most important issue of the coming year, especially since the University will have a new academic administration. Mr. Campbell says he and vice are president, Vem Della-Pianalso going to concentrate on internal issues, such as determining who is legally responsible for the student newspaper, The Daily Utah Chronicle, and improving communications with the student body in general. Mr. Campbell believes the record low 19 per cent voter turnout (he won 1,852 to 1,460) simply corroborates the fact that students are involved in their own spheres of interest and are a, not as politically active. He discounts concerns that the turnout indicated student apathy. Im not going to say theyre apathetic because they dont want to get involved in student government; they dont have to, there are too many other things to do, he states. Mr. Campbell places himself one centimeter to the right of the middle on the political spectrum. He disdains rock music in favor of classical and jazz, wears his hair neatly cropped and displays only one poster -- I believe in U in his office. He a teaches Sunday School class and frequently attends concerts of the Utah Symphony of which his wife is a. member. Mr. Campbell formerly served as chairman of ASUU public affairs board, which was responsible for student-oriente- d legislative relations, participation in the political process and community relations. This experience has left him with definite opinions about the gap between the community and the University and how to close it. The gap is a gap of understanding, he says, pointing to the fact that many of the people in the community havent been on our campus in a long time. When they do come, theyre generally surprised at the beauty of our school and the quality of education available here, he asserts. Mr. Campbell believes acais another demic freedom touchy area. I dont think people understand what is meant by that concept. Without the freedom to try out new ideas with people always putting a hold on you youre never going to progress, Mr. Campbell explains. He cautions, however, that freedom means responsibility and abuse of that freedom can bring unfortunate consequences. The new ASUU president says the tide is turning and the community and campus are drawing closer together. But the pendulum isnt just swinging back. Students, faculty, alumni and concerned townspeople are dragging it back, through person-to-perso- n contact and improved communications. . Page Nine Spend an Evening Under the Stars Food Shortages Seen Who has not at some time found himself on a dark clear night on a mountain top or in the desert gazing up at the wonders of the skies and wishing that he had an astronomer at his side to identify the constellations and talk about the immensities of the universe? The Hansen Planetarium is striving to make this wish a reality by inaugurating a series of special evenings under the perpetual clarity of its plane- tarium skies. Beginning on April 4 at 8 p.m. and on the first Wednesday evening of every following month the Planetarium will present a special new type of star program called An Evening Under the Stars. There will be no preplanned schedule or outline; rather the astronomer will talk with the audience as if the were among friends seated around a campfire with the stars overhead. He might talk about the majesty of the universe or mans place in the order of things or why astronomy is fascinating to him depending on what the guests present want to know. The conversation might well drift to spectacular new discoveries such as quasars, pulsars, and black holes. The program will ge wherever audience questions and participation carry it. . Astronomer for these monthly programs is John Mosley, Hansen Plantetarium staff astronomer. Admission to these programs if the same as public star show admission: $1.00 for adults, 75c for students, and 50c for children under 12. Persons of all ages are invited; groups are invited to call for reservations at reduced prices. For an informal evening of discussion under the stars, plan to visit the Hansen Planetarium on the first Wednesday of every month. For further information call 364-361- 1. Five million boys and girls between 9 and 19 are part of the program. This makes Americas largest youth organization. Supporting their efforts are a half million volunteer adult volunnteers. 4-- H of Utah Farm Bureau Group By Leader 4-- H Consumer boycotts of meal products and price controls oi farm goods will reduce production and create serious food shortages, according to Elmo W.

But no man can rightfully call himself a Christian until he has come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Gods Son. How many people there are today who think that because they go. to church and give assent to a creed they are Christians I That is not true. A' man becomes a . Christian only through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8,9). It is possible to believe that the Bible is Gods Word and believe every thing in the Book and still be unsaved. Head knowledge is not enough; one must have a heart experience of Christ. Rather than merely believing in your head that He is able to save you, it is by flinging yourself upon His grace and trusting Him with a hearts reliance to save you that makes you a Christian. The Christians of old Russia used to ask, Have you experienced Christ? E x p e r i -encing Christl That is the thing that changes a man from a sinner to a saint. When a man experiences Christ, he passes from a state of death in sin to life in Him. The power that makes the Christian different from other men is the reality of Christ in the life.
