Show Republican Disarray: Insurrection In J. LINDSAY By JOHN Though the country is accustomed to Republicans scrapping with one another for Presidential nominations, there has always been one spot on the GOP political landscape the United States where peace reigned Senate. ThPie, if intia-partgrievances ran deep, they were buried even deeper. No more. Now', with a man of their own in the White House, Republican senatois seem as unable to stand prosperity as their Democratic colleagues were in their days of Presidential power. Indeed, the death of Republican Senate leader Everett Dirksen could not have come at a more awkward time. Rarely has the GOP contingent in the Senate seemed less likely to march docilely under new leadership. Rarely have they been so restive, so and, in many cases, so, downright resentful of the old leaders. A good part of the unhappiness was aimed at Dirksen himself. Though New Yorks Charles Goodell was the only senator to attack the leader publicly, the private grousing was widespread. I dont think anybody but Charlie is opposing Dirksen as a person, said one dissident shortly before the minority leaders death, but youd make a big mistake to think that, a lot of us dont v ant him out of the leadership. The dissident group is, of course, a minority in the Republican faction, but its strength has been significant since the beginning of last winter's session when Nebraska conservative Roman for the Hruska, Dirksens candidate of party whip, was defeated by Pen-- ' , post nsylvanias Hugh Scott, Though so close a vote could never .have been mustered against the smoothtongued minority leader himself, nevertheless rebellion was clearly in the wind and the White House unwittingly helped it along. s There were on patronage, fumbling on patently political issues like ' tax reform. Moderates from populous northern states were left holding the bag on the voting rights bill and school de- segregation. y 23-2- foul-up- Even conservative ncwcomeis. who find little to fault ideologically with the Nixon progiams, are disgruntled by the peisonal handling of their attempts to communicate w'ith the White House. Theyve got a bunch of jerks at the White House at the staff level, and thats where a lot of decisions are made, Robert Dole, a Kansas conservative, told a Senate GOP conference this summer. I know the Administration has been in oifice only six months, but training shouldnt take that long. ' ,77-'- ' r ' ' - J rw, ,itv A", ffHnt lr'v Sen. Charles ., .

Minority Whip Scott himself publicly parted company on the voting rights bill. Some senators, like Ohios William Saxbe, were pleasured with unnecessary zeal to rescind their own campaign pledges and back the Administration ABM bill.

Even then the changeover likely will take months, or even years, and will be more evolutionary than revolutionary. ' institutional Right now the councils set up by the new law are operating pretty much as did the old institutional boards. There is little difference, for example, in the kinds of actions taken by the new University of Utah Institutional Council and the old University of Utah Board of Regents. Having also covered meetings of the Weber State College and Southern Utah State College institutional councils, I can report that they too are doing business pretty much as did the old boards of al councils have determined to operate as usual until they get a clear signal to the contrary. The signals surely will come, and they will continue for some time as Durham and the college board gradually work out methods of operation. Durham will conduct a very positive and forthright administration. Art indication of Durhams administrative ability are the honors paid him recently by the Arizona Board of Regents and others at an appreciation dinner in Tempe. The Regents conferred on Durham their highest honor, the Medallion of Merit, an award given only once previously. During the dinner Durham was cited by- Dr. Wallace Adams, president of the ASU Faculty Assembly. trustees.

The idea of cooperatives for the performing arts is gaining support in many areas as an effective method in filling the economic gap. It is now universally acknowledged that ticket sales alone will not support a progressive, creative performing arts organization. The arts must .be subsidized. ... .' r' j The strength of a cooperative lies in Its mobilization of resources for a more effective voice in securing the available , benefits required by its members. The most important aspect of the cooperatives operation would be the institution of a united campaign. Support of the performing arts, as well as the visual arts, has taken a radical turn from what it was 10 years ago. . With the federal governments realization that the arts must be subsidized and its establishment of the National Endowment for the Ails, a new era has come. Today there is some arts support available front state and local governments, foundations, business, and labor. These new sources still do not provide enough, but it is a start, and they xx ill provide more. The perlorming arts must be prepared to compete for funds from these sources against other prospective donees, and they must make their most eloquent This can onlyAe accomplished by e its Southern strategy from the 1968 campaign into the executive and legislative process.

Adams said. To be a Successful one is nearly impossible; to be a successful one for nine years strains the imagination, but this is the achievement of G. Homer Durham. Gov. Jack Williams also praised Durham for his contributions. Durham and Mrs. Durham were with gifts, including such things as a silver serving tray and a parlor grand piano. showered After presenting tire Medallion of Merit to Durham, Arthur B. Schellen-- , berg, secretary of the Arizona Board of Regents, declared that you will find Dr. Durhams mark everywhere you look on the campus. As he has done at Arizona State, Durham certainly will leave a mark on Utah higher education. The scope and significance of that mark will be determined only after he has had time to serve.

THOSTESEN, M.D. Dear Dr. Thostesen: What are the pros and cons of a water softener? Does hard water aftect body organs? What effect do the chemicals from the softener have? C.E.T. Answer: If there is any difference to your health between hard and soft water, it is too slight to be provable. The purpose of water softeners is to make the water more effective for washing. For drinking purposes, let the flavor be your guide with one exception. Some softeners increase the amount of sodium in the water. Anyone on a diet should avoid such water. For anyone else, its just a matter of personal preference.

United fund raising drives have been effected in many communities, including ours. Most of them are successful. However, they are not the panacea for all. However, the advantages are many, and such a campaign is definitely worthy of an attempt, if at all feasible. First: There is better use made of available manpower. In a united campaign there are fewer solicitations to be made by the available manpower. Second: Prospective donors are more receptive if there are fewer requests. Third: Campaign costs are appreciably reduced. Fourth: The case for giving will be more impressive and will command more respect. Filth: Managers can devote more time to creative efforts rather than to fund raising for which they are likely to be highly unqualified. Sixth: More expertise in organizing and operating the campaign will be available, especially in the area of budgeting. Seventh : The prospects of public media cooperation will be enhanced. Much can be done in concert that cannot be done individually in terms of money, time spent, and influence. An important consideration for instituting a united fund raising campaign is that individual organizations have great difficulty in securing funds from the new patrons of the arts singly. fund-raisin- g $s.
