Box 11426, 484-144- Salt Lake City, Utah Publisher Editor Earl Alsop Ronald Shook Zetta M. Hoffmann . . . The 'Children's Friend' Truly a friend to children, this fitting title (the Childrens Friend) was included among the many Thank Yous and eulogies written to Zetta Hoffmann, by the Primary workers and all of the Primary children of the South Salt Lake Stake recently. The occasion was her release as Stake Primary President, after years in serving almost 10 that capacity. It was a sad day for the children. It was also a sad day. for the Primary workers of South Salt Lake Stake, for not only is Zetta Hoffmann a friend to children, but to their parents and leaders as well.

And, undoubtedly, these same qualities which have endeared her to the children and to her are those recognized by the South Salt Stake presidency in her call to head ers another important stake organization, and her necessary release from the Primary. For now her talents will he directed to her new job . . . that of Stake Library Director of South Salt Lake Stake. This is a new position, and will require a dedicated, leader, such as Zetta Hoffman, to get it started and functioning properly.

IN-STA-- GSJSDOB 'The Natives Are Restless' THE BALANCE WHEEL By Nathan Canby Smith Saturday the 18th of April was the Festival of Light in Salt Lake City. The 22nd (by some quirck of fate Lenins birthday) was Earth Day. Both of these gatherings have a number of things in common. For one thing, they are youth oriented. For another, they are against something. For a third, they represent called a noble new cause what one popular picture-magazine ecology. To he sure, the Festival of Light was military-industrial-warmongeri- The Flying University In South Salt Lake stands a white building with no imposing title or signboard. As a matter of fact, all that is vivible from the outside is a rather large house number, white on red, reading 2600. It tells the interested that this is 2600 South State. If you are interest- ed enough to go inside, you find that 2600 South State, South Salt Lake, is the home of International Cultural Ex- change Schools, Inc., a sort of flying university. ICES specializes in travel education tours, combining on. the -- spot education with college credit at a cost that is, considering what is offered, amazing. The South Salt Lake News spoke with Dick Madsen of ICES about the business and about their programs.

However, it shou'd be evident to the perceptive observer of the scene that our young people, unable to hold onto one of their fuzzy stars for long, are and into the popular new cause' drifting away from anti-wa- r, and control ecological balance, no matter that three of population months ago most of them couldnt spell ecology and wouldnt have known an ecoogical imbalance if it accosted them on the street. They are up in arms against the establishment which is ruining our planet. Pavlov would have been delighted. He was the chap, remember, who could make dogs salivate on cue. And that is what is happening with our young people today. Somehow, our youth have learned not only to salivate, hut to ring the bell that evokes the response. I am not saying that our ecological state is ideal. Lake Erie is dead. The air in Los Ange'es and New York stinks (and sometimes in Salt Lake City too). Certain breeds of fish and fowl are becoming extinct. (Rachel Carson predicted it with birds), and oil slicks mess up the coastline. My gripe against the young people so active today is that, as it was with Vietnam, they simply do not know what they are talking about; are making a good deal of noise about a subject with which they are only superficially acquainted. A case in point: the other day I watched a TV presentation in which a group of young people mobilized to protect us from ourselves were de'iniating th dangers present to our civilization. All the facts, figures, statistics, and even some of the examples were taken from Paul Erlich's interesting and scary book on the subject. Absolutely no mention is made of opponents of the idea, such as Colin Clark. As a matter of fact, our young people have no idea there is an opposition. Is any sane situation such poor scholarship would not go unnoticed. As with the issue of Vietnam, the people active in things such as Earth Day and Festival of Light are really ony dimly aware of the reality and complexity of life; to the system of debts and payments that make it possible for us to live. They are such because they perceive the world not through the eyes of reason but through the eyes of emotion. Because of this they are easily duped, and are dangerous. If you don't believe me, take a trip to Santa Barbara. What started as fight for ideal education has disintegrated into orgiastic, mindless violence. My guess is that the ecology pushers will also get more stormy and less coherent. I wish it were not so, because the subject could use some critical scrutiny. 2i0r South West Temple Phone 484-883- 6 young organization with its base in the South Salt Lake area, but whose campus is the entire world. ICES, according to Mr. Madsen, realizes that some of the best paths to knowledge are found through travel, and so has instituted travel-studiplans in connection with Butler County Community Junior College. Thus, a student can fly to Europe to learn European history, be where it happened, and still get college credit. Or a person interested in the English theatre can fly with ICES to England for a theater workshop in London and area. As an example, Mr. Madsen pointed to one of their newest tours, an art and art history tour t Europe this summer. In line with ICESs policy of giving something special, this is not to be just a tour of art galleries. Under the tutelage of popular BYU art instructor Trevor South and an art history lecturer, a group of students will fly to Italy and investigate art from its historical & es beginnings in the Italian countryside, then travel through Europe, learning, seeing and sketching as they go. The idea, according to Mr. Madsen, is not to bring art to the students, or to page 4 |
