ELMER JACKSON Kanab FRIDAY, MAY 9 1969 A FDITORIAL PAGE m Sh J Army Shouid Review Gas Dumping Plans J j -- - 3 4 The Arrny should postpone its plans to dump 27,000 tens of obsolete nerve gas bombs, mustard gas, and tear gas into the Atlantic until better assurance can be given that it wont pollute the ocean. Its disturbing enough that the Department of Transportation waived its normal safety rules for the rail shipment of the deadly chemical warfare equipment from Colorado, Arkansas, and Maryland to the Naval Ammunition Depot at Earle, New Jersey. This despite the fact there have been three spillages of poison gas two of them from railroad trains within the past year. Whats worse is that while the Army thinks that dumpthis deadly cargo in the Atlantic wont pollute the ocean, it ing be certain. cant really Seawater is quite corrosive, and some of the metal cylinders containing the lethal gasses are already coiioded. Thats v.hy the Army had to get a special waiver from the Department of Transportation to haul them by rail. If the cylinders were to rupture underwater, what would or for that matter on man? the effects be on sea life Pesticides, for example, have been found in Antarctica, thousands of miles from the land areas where the chemicals were used in quantity. It seems that each time an organism, say a small fish, absoibs a pesticide it concentrates the dose many times. The dose is passed along when the small fish is eaten by a larger one, when the large fish is consumed by a Joird, and so on unt:l eventually man enters the picture. Couldnt the same thing happen with the nerve gas and other chemical warfare agents the Army plans to dump into the Atlantic? Cant the Army deactivate these dangerous agents chemically or biologically? Instead of dumping them in the ocean, wouldnt it be better tb bury them deep in the ground? By the year 2000 the popuonly 31 years from now lation of the world is expected to double. If all those new mouths are to be fed, scientists believe the world will have to rely upon the oceans as a major source of food. Through lack of foresight and failure to take sensible precautions, man already has polluted his planet to the point where cleaning it up has become enormously difficult and costly. Lets learn from our past mistakes and avoid makin" a rich supply of food for the future unfit for human consumption. Why Aren't They Booted Out? - JAMES J. KILPATRICK NEW YORK Hie student riol- - go unchecked, and the questions go unanbut at a swered. For the time being fearful price some of our great v institutions Mr. Kilpatrick a number of difficult questions will not yield to simple answers: What motivates the radical students? Where is the ultimate blame for revolution to be lodged? But one elementary question continues to baffle the ordinary layman : Why arent the ringleading students expelled? It is beyond comprehension. When students clearly are guilty of outrageous of violent and criminal conconduct duct why aren't they summarily tossed out of school? When trespass upon private property, why arent thev prosecuted to the limit of the law ? Enemies Of Freedom , i r damage student rioters are accomplishing across the nation is not confined to destruction of property, for law, or instituting of meaningless courses in thedisregard college curriculum A major casualty is the spirit of academic freedom, which cannot function in a university where militants coerce weak administrators with outrageous demands. Vice President Spiro Agnew touched on that problem this week in his talk at Brigham Young University when he commented : The damage (rioters) do to the spirit of academic freedom and, in fact, all freedoms is vastly greater than their numbers. The law, as Vice President Agnew declared, is the means by which change is achieved in a democracy. In a totalitarian society, he declared, only the ends are important. The means to reach them, whether just or brutal, are irrelevant. A universitys ability' to foster academic freedom is itself contingent upon mutual confidence of administrators, professors, and students. If any one of these loses confidence in the other, that spirit of freedom declines, as the riots have too amply shown. In many Latin American universities, where students have been allowed to run the schools as some U.S. students are seeking to do, the result has been much student politicking but little student learning. Clearly, too high a price can be paid in satisfying the whims of the 2 or 3 per cent of the college students who riot, lock up professors, steal files and occupy buildings by force. As Vice President Agnew observed "A society as sophisticated as ours can establish practical, workable degrees of student participation. We can navigate some middle course without students locking teachers up or administrators locking students out. mood.

He kept it up day after day. What was that magic af-f-h mation he used? Here it is: This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118) You dont change mental habits overnight. he says, but gradually my life changed for the better by shifting from apprehension to anticipation. Sustained anticipation tends to atPact good things and lots of them. How well a situation works out for you depends in part upon whether you are mentally receptive to a good outcome. Life seems to be responsive to the expectant mind, to anticipation. Hie ideal time for cultivating an attitude is as the day begins. An old English proverb declares, Of a good beginning cometh a good end." You can do wonders for yourself by starting a day with an expectant attitude and optimistic thinking. Personally I start every morning w'ith a prayer of thanksgiving for the blessings of life and the opportunity of a new day. Then I picture the day ahead as I confidently expect it to be. anti-cipati- Theres a Persian saying, Every day is a fresh beginning, every morning is a world made new'.

Then and there he memorized a short statement which his wife suggested and w'ent to work repeating it to himself, and that morning tilings began to look up for him. To his astonishment the words began working in his mind like a tonic. started practicing a drastically different attitude every morning. Result: He became a happy man and more capable, too. Before this dramatic change his thoughts each mornirg focused on all the difficulties and irritations he expected that day. And since he expected them, he usually got them. At breakfast he would read the newspaper negatively, taking a pessimistic impression of everything in the news of the world. Daily he left home for the office in a gloomy, apprehensive A friend suddenly they weie told the road widening project would involve closing the Parleys Canyon route The point is well taken. No doubt the detour will tend to dampen enthusiasm somewhat for Summit County ski resorts during the winter of construction. Moreover, minutes of a hearing on the project, held June 6, 1963.

But since then traffic has U.S. 40 open during construction is no longer deemed possible. Even so, business and other interests affected by the roar! closure deserve advance notice so they can prepare for tne adjustments they will have to make. But how much advance notice should be given? A delay is being requested, but in that time traffic is expected to increase about 10 per cent and routing it through Emigration Canyon would become more difficult. As for the suggestion that constiuction be spaced so that the Parleys Canyon route would be open during the wmtei months, highway officials say this would add a yeai to the project and increase its cost substantially Now, let's put aside the recriminations that have been voiced in recent days and get on with the job of working out a mutual accommodation by which the inconvenience involved In the road construction will be as short and as slight as possible. i Perkins and the trustees By NORMAN VINCENT TEALE sideration by the Utah Road Commission as it weighs requests for a delay in widening the highway through Parleys Canyon.

Why werent these students expelled At Queens College last week. 40 black students marched through three buildings, smashing windows and overturning furmtuie. It is beyond belief that these students were not identified. Of course they were identified. Why, then, were they not booted out? At City College on May 1, a band of black militants overturned card catalogues and broke windows in the faculty dining room.
