Editorial Policy Hurts Weekly Newspapers for a buck. Where is the most significant market for BYU sports? Obviously among people with the most disposable income. BYU's line of logic - treating weekly newspapers as nonentities -- has at least one stinging implication. Since BYU feels that American Fork's newspaper isn't a real paper, does that mean BYU also thinks that their own fullback, Bruce Hansen of American Fork, and his brother Brian aren't real football players? In BYU's defense it must be noted that there is a limited amount of space in the press box at Cougar Stadium, and there are many news organizations that desire to cover the BYU football team. The coverage, ( both local and national, has increased during the last several years as the Cougars have become a regular member of Top 20 polls. ' - But proclivities of the U BYU Sports Information Department have led to an odd situation. Stylish news organizations are now per-mitted more than one seat in the press box in addition to photographers, television camera crews, roving reporters on the sidelines and the occasional helicopter - while at the same time the weekly newspapers are left out in the cold (what did we ever do to them?). According to Mr. Schultess, not even a photo pass could be spared, even though there is nearly 1,000 feet of vacant sideline space every Saturday - a fifth of a mile. At first glance it appears that BYU is discriminating against the weekly newspapers, but in the final analysis the discrimination is really aimed at the readers of the community newspapers. BYU's decision to withhold press tickets is tantamount to telling 25,000 readers they are insignificant. Of course that figure increases if the other weekly newspapers in Utah County are in-cluded. not bitter, just a little con-fused. We can't figure out why weekly newspapers are summarily snubbed, since, after all, BYU only plays football once a week. By CARL HAUPT Sports Editor The editor hung up his telephone last week and looked at me in disbelief. "We're not a real newspaper after all," he said. "I have suspected it for some time but now J's official." Then the story began to unfold. He had just called Dave Schultess at the BYU Sports Information Department to request press tickets for the upc-oming BYU-UNL- football game. Bis is something a real newspaper might do -- you see, it's a fair trade for allthat free publicity. I We wanted to spotlight some of the players from north Utah County, but He didn't get the chance. Mr. Schultess said BYU has a policy of issuing press credentials only to daily wspapers. No weekly papers &wed, he said. No room in the press fa. No room on the sidelines He -- laid. "' It's really a rather frustrating situation. Last time I checked, Associated Press got two press tickets; United Press International lot two; the Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune got one each; the Provo DaUy Herald was allowed three tickets. In addition, all these papers were allowed passes for sideline photographers. Even now BYU's student newspaper, The Daily Universe, has no trouble getting two press-bo- x tickets and several sideline photo passes. The Daily Universe situation brings the matter into focus - not to raise the question of whether it is a "real" newspaper but simply because it's an interesting case in point. They print approximately 18,000 newspapers each day - a substantial number indeed. And their audience, the or-dinary BYU student, certainly deserves to read about the athletic exploits of the school's highly suc-cessful football team. Compare that to the three weekly' newspapers of north Utah County -- the American Fork Citizen, Lehi Free Press and Pleasant Grove Review -- all of which we produce from one office. Although we print just 9,000 newspapers each week, studies have shown that the average weekly newspaper, nationally commands a readership of approximately 2.8 readers. That gives us a total readership of more than 25,000. And judging from the traffic jam on the Orem 12th South exit at game time Saturdays, our readers are also in-tently interested in BYU football. But there's a big difference bet-ween the north Utah County fan and the average BYU student: Our people pay the full gate price ($8 or so at a whack) while students are admitted t Super Value Coupon V iZs STYLIST 1 g rW Curly Chic Perm $19.95 J !I Expires Nov. 1, Y, Men's Cut & Style $5.00 B I Women's Cut & Style $7.00 g Shampoo & Set $5.00 6 B b Located at Grand Central Plaza B American Fork 756-801- 4 J Convenience of a Stove jjThat Burns One Load Of Wood 1 up to 14 Hours I j The Blaze King I I You Can Imagine the I Money You Can Save w Hours: J Tues. thru Fit-1- -6 p.m. ' Sat. -9- -3 p.m. mm.

American Fork Shopping Center uJ I (Next to Albertsons) - 756-532- 0 Bobcat Export Rule Becomes Injunction A suit by the Defenders of Wildlife challenging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife dice's right to set bobcat export regulations has resulted in an app-ellate court injunction on bobcat sports for the 1981-8- 2 season until the fish and Wildlife Service can show t the export of bobcats will not be terimental to the survival of the sPies in each state. In Utah, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Nee had approved 3,200 bobcat aPrt tags for the 1981-8- 2 season. Pish and Wildlife Service is ently analyzing data collected i all states concerning bobcat Population estimates, long-ter- Wilation trends, harvest in-'- I ormation and management Programs of each state. The case for exporting bobcat pelts will then be presented to the appellate court, which will make a decision whether or not to lift the injunction. The Utah bobcat season is November 14, 1981 through January 31, 1982. To trap bobcats, a bobcat permit or trapping license must be purchased by October 16. A maximum of 5,000 bobcat possession tags will be sold on a first come, first served basis from October 19 through October 30 by mail application only from the Wildlife Resources Salt Lake oiffice, 1596 W. North Temple Street, 84116. Persons may apply for up to 10 bobcat possession tags for $7.50 each; no fee will be charged for the per-manent metal tags affixed to bobcat pelts. |
