No To Both Of You We accidentally burned our Golden Eagle passport.

As for your problem, Mr. W.. the forest service sympathizes with your fondness for the Cove, but it is not the only place to camp. And, of course, your passport is good everywhere. It hardly seems reasonable that you should have a refund just on the basis of one area no matter how much you like it. Actually, the boat ramp was closed because of safety precautions.

Regent Edward W. Clyde moved that the proposed 17.2 acre area be divided as follows: that three acres be made available immediately for five fraternity and sorority groups; that seven additional acres be set aside, for a period of five years, for possible use by other fraternity and sorority groups, and that the remaining 7.2 acres be made - available to other wishing to participate concept of higher education. groups in the living-learnin- g Clyde said he envisions groups of students with similar interests, such as law students, choosing to live in the same facility. The university needs more small, personal housing units, he said, noting that the school now has a problem keeping its large dormitories filled.

Eligibility will be determined by Salt Lake County and patients will not be admitted until approved by that body. In contrast to the previous arrangements, Salt Lake County will also be held responsible for payment of professional services, including physician services.
