Show , i i ' I if Time For Action III w" - ' B p Conditions at the University of Utih have been the WKm': subject of complaint ever since the organization of the Me! Students' Army Training corps. Believing that the condi- H L tions were incidental to the problems of organization and HUf that the officials in charge.would ultimately correct the nW' situation, the Herald hesitated in giving circulation to Wmrnl the complaints.
