Number 52 Volume 53 u What Makes Greatness? (Continued from page one) for all the races to get ahead and on individual fulfillment and a higher quality of human life as major factors in building the future greatness of the United States. IIow we will clean up the environment, creat job opportunities, raise human productivity and improve the individuals life quality unless we work hard and develop our natural resources, particularly tliose useful for the production of energy, is a complete mystery. It is .interestingt o note that most of tliose who take this airy view of life in the future have had the benefit of a college education. No sweeping generalization can be made, but all this raises the suspicion that a college education cannot be said to automatically bestow upon its possessor a high level of intelligence. Ambition and 4. Employers Will be Honored at Governors Committee Luncheon th-eTwo Utah employers will receive Employer of the Year Awards for promoting gainful employment for Utahs handicapped citizens. The Veterans Administration Hospital and the Salt Lake City YMCA are the recipients of these awards. The awards are given to one large employer and one small. The Large Employer must employ more than 200 people and the Small Employer must employ under 200 people. The two awards will be presented at the annual meeting of the Governors Committee to be held at noon April 12th in the Lafayette Ballroom of the Hotel Utah. The Salt Lake City YMCA employs 32 people. Eighteen of them of 56 per cent have a disability. These people perform such tasks as: Executive Director, Secretary, swimming instructors, masseurs, health director, etc. The disabilities overcome are total or partial blindness, hearing loss, crippled hand and leg, etc. The policy at the Y is to hire a person if he can perform the duties of the job. The Veterans Administration Hospital employs 1,182 people, 92 of whom have disabilities varying from 10 to 100 percent. The disabilities range from total blindness to organic heart disease and the jobs performed in elude: Nurse, physician, plant operator, corrective therapist, to name only a few. The policy of the Veterans Administration Hospital is measuring the capa bilities and qualifications of the individual applicant against the actual physical and mental requirements and demands of the specific job. According to Charles LeaBron, coordinator, Division of Rehabilitation Service, Utah State Board of Education, and executive secretary, governors committee for the Employment of the Handicapped, these awards are given each year to employers who promote gainful employment for Utahs handicapped citizens. LEASED GRRPEVINt f T The Sierra Club's federal court suit against the Central Utah Water Project began this week and immediately a new element was introduced into the case. After arguments by University of Utah law professor William Lockhart, appearing as a friend of the court on behalf of certain Ute Indians, Judge Willis Ritter ordered that a special attorney be appointed to represent Indian interest in the case. Under an agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation the Ute Tribal Council agreed to defer development of some 60,000 acre feet of water rights until the year 2005. This amount, Lockhart said, represents nearly one half of the water to be diverted by the CUP from the Uintah Basin to the Bountiful Basin.
