For committee members it is something they look forward too and possibly dread. But, nevertheless, they should take a bow. They have worked hard to ensure the UBIC will be a success. However, without the participation from a great many people, both involved directly and indirectly, the UBIC would not be successful. It would not bring back residents who only visit during this time. UBIC is a time for new friendships and renewed friendships. It is a time to forget all the problems with ourselves and our area and sit back and enjoy. It is also a time to reminisce.

We hope you have fun and an enjoyable time and one that will hold you over until next year at this same time. Like ' year's past, there are a great many similarities. There are parades, booths, entertainment, fireworks and queen contests. There is also a new event in the one mile children's run. This year will mark a first for UBIC. It will all be played out at the Regional Park. The committee has had a difficult time arranging everything for its new home. Nevertheless, they have doine an exceptional job in getting this year's event off the ground and in a new place. We hope everyone has a good time. .

Basin Standard. 6469-000- by Delyse Bellos staff reporter The scariest part of any rodeo is the bull riding. Those animals are mean. They are so mean, you wonder how those cowboys can ride them. In fact, thats just what I wondered as I stood shaking in the alley next to the chutes waiting for those big brutes to come out. And brutes they are. In fact some cowboys never make it out of the chute. They get their legs broken trying to get on the animals in the first place. And they're the lucky ones; they don't have to go ahead and ride the beasts. The riders are subjected to all sorts of torture, from being dragged along because their hand is caught in the rope, to being trampled, pummeled and butted, or smashed into the fence or any other available object. I wonder if any of those cowboys has a mother? or a wife? If they do, she's a nervous wreck I'm sure. I'll bet she has no fingernails at all. I wonder if any of those cowboys has insurance? What fiscally responsible insurance company would sell them a policy? I've heard it said that there isn't enough risk and adventure in our lives these days. That's why people look for dangerous things to do-li-ke climb mountains, race cars, rob banks, and ride bulls.

If approved, the reduction would result in an annual (18.68 decrease to the typical residential customer using 1150 therms per year. It will be the seventh consecutive gas-co- st decrease for the utilitys Utah residential customers in 2Vi years. Mountain Fuel President D.N. Rose said the latest reduction reflects lower prices paid by the utility to purchase gas supplies for resale to customers. In addition, the company has not requested a general rate increase, which covers operating costs, since 1984. The typical customer's annual bill will have dropped by 10 percent .through the reductions and will be $544.76 with the proposed decrease.

The mandatory sanctions would not apply to existing contracts and subcontracts or to sole source suppliers of essential defense goods or services when no other alternative supplier can be identified. Garn said a waiver also could be granted if the president determines that certain goods and services are essential to national security. Imports shipped under contracts signed before May 1, 1987, for violations within the last five years, and imports shipped under contracts signed prior to the date of congressional notification of sanctions could also be waived. The amendment allows the president to limit the scope of sanctions with regard to doverage of parent, affiliate,' and subsidiary companies of the violator, but subject to strict conditions. Principal conditions are that the government with jurisdiction over the violator has taken steps to improve its export control efforts as defined by an eight-poin- t program of cooperation within CoCom (the multilateral export control arrangement of western governments), and the company has improved its internal controls to catch diversions. Other provisions of the amend- ment include: Requiring the president to report semiannually to the Congress on the status of sanctions applied; Requiring the secretary of defense to submit an annual report to the Congress estimating the additional U.S. defense expenditures for each fiscal year that were required to compensate for the transfer of sensitive goods and technology.

Garn said he was "pleased and encouraged" hr the overwhelming support he received from his colleagues on the measure. He said he believes the wide support indicates that "Congress finally may be re-- . cognizing the need to address our serious export control problems." He said the amendment is designed to both protect and punish.' It punishes export control violators and sends a message that ' we're serious about export controls.
