Washington {AP) - Five student body leaders met privately with President Nixon Thursday and said later they told him he's in danger of losing the entire student vote in 1972. "I told him the two questions on students' minds are what country are we invading today, and how can we beat you in '72," said Steve Baker, 21, a senior at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. "The President looked resigned to it."
Entire student vote in danger, Nixon told
Steering Committee
The student leaders are members of the steering committee for the National Student Congress of Student Body Presidents , an organization representing 330 colleges and universities . They are in Washington for five days to talk with legislators about student ideas, problems and grievances. The 25-minute conversation with Nixon was arranged by White House aide Robert Finch, who met with the five students Wednesday and again Thursday before ushering them into the President's office. Other Representatives
In addition to Baker, those present

were Stanley Grimm , 21, of Fargo, N.D., a senior at George Washington University in Washington, Walter Byrd of Kerrville , Tex., 21, a senior at the University of Mississippi ; Eileen Friar , 21, a senior at Simmons College in Boston, and Ja y Sternoff, 20, a sophomore at Bellevue College in Bellevue, Wash. In a_n interview after the meeting , three of the students • Baker , Grimm and Byrd • agreed that their over-all impression was that Nixon is aware of a communications problem with young people. President Concerned
"You get a feeling of genuine concern, but that he's isolated in his office," said Grimm . "He's obviously thinking deeply about the problem , but doesn't know how to handle it." The three young men said the President seemed pleased to meet with them and they found him much more open and concerned than they had expected . "I found him much warmer than he appears on TV," said Hyrd. "He's not isolated as to what young people do, but as to why they do it," he said . "No one seems to be able to tell him why."

Budget nears Buzzer
ASUSU Editor:
bombs While much conjecture has been offered by varied campus sources concerning the future of the Buzzer at Utah State, student opinion surrounding the annual was made ever-s<H:lear through a recent poll conducted by ASUSU. That poll sampled student opinion on a variety of subjects, but the questions asked concerning the Buzzer are probably the most revealing. More than 50 per cent of the persons questioned felt the yearbook was "unimportant" at Utah State, lending further weight to the case for discontinuance of the book. The feelings of students at USU are not unlike those at other universities . Several institutions are facing similar financial binds in relation to the publication of their yearbooks, and many have discontinued them, sometimes replacing them with a quarterly campus m11gazine which proves more relevant to students of the seventies. Currently, the Buzzer is subsidized with $16,000 of student funds and also collects revenue from advertising, individual photographs and a controversial "reservation fee." These funds would go far in producing a campus magazine that could project campus life at Utah State not just portray individual photographs of some 1,200 students -the number who will have their pictures in the 1971 edition of Buzzer . A campus magazine is more relevant today and might fill the void left by the traditional yearbook . Also , magazines are an extremely popular medium today with an abundance of feature ar iicles iibera iiy 1Uustrated with color pho-ograp h,. This sam e format could easily be adapted to the campus scene at USU by providing stronger coverage of university events during each quarter which a campus newspaper has neither the time nor the space to provide. The simple fact that only 1,200 of the 8.••'I) student body at USU thought the y, book r• ~vant enough to warrant
-
them placing their photograph in the book should serve as an additional indicator of student feeling on our campus. Proponents of the Buzzer blame all of the ills of their standard bearer on last year's fiasco which ultimately resulted in a glorified art exhibit. But, in reality, 1ast year 's annual has turned out to be a scapegoat whereby this year's Buzzer staff cries that the 1971 edition will rectify past performances and bring Buzzer into its own again. Our investigation has proven, however, that besides the current Buzzer staff being ill-equipped to produce the book, the contents of the Buzzer will again appear as a refuge from the Guy Lombardo era with patented photographs of smiling faces. Is this relevant~ Obviously not. The 1971 Buzzer will resemble the 1966 Buzzer which, in turn, resembled the 1961 Buzzer which resembled the 1956 Buzzer, ad infinatum. It will be the same old song with a different set of lyrics. What's the book's future, if allowed to continue on the same collision course with extinction that it rides now? More of the same . The status quo -- while it is not relevant -- will be maintained to its death. Economically, the Buzzer, will fall to the fate of many other yearbooks across the nation with students reluctantly paying more and more coins until one day when someone will switch the publication to a medium the students won't mind paying for. Why not make this choice now and save us all a few dollars? · The students have expressed their feelings through the poll and reports of shaky conditions at neighboring university publications have been placed in the hands of the ASUSU Executive Council. It will now be up to them to decide whether they will continue to pour student money into a bottomless pit, or streamline the publication and thereby represent their constituency.

Results of the Vietnam Referendum were very interesting. Even more interesting are the interpretations of this vote! Consider the letter of March 24 printed in this column~ This letter spoke in behalf of the Student Mobilization Committee to end the war. Two interpretations in the letter border on the incredible. 1) " ... Even at USU, preponderant student opinion is for immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Southeast Asia.'' 2) "The referendum should give the ASUSU Exeeutive Council the courage to officially take a stand ..." The first statement falls down on two counts. First, it fails to recognize the very thing majority given to the anti-war resolution six votes or approximately 52 percent; not much preponderance! Second, it ignores the votes of 56 students (approximately 9 percent of the 599 votes cast) who voted to inthe war effort to obtain victory over North Vietnam. As a student who cast one of those 56 votes, perhaps I
can better speak for their feelings than Mr. Molll'Oe. Those 56 votes supported President Nixon, but went even further ... to victory. I would now like to Present an alternate Interpretation: a majorityal students at USU (323 outal 599 or approximately 54 percent) support President Nixon; allo party of this majority would go even further In the war effort than tbe President. In light of these considerations, the ASUSU Executive Council should not have courage to make an "anti-war" resolution. To the contrary, the Council should recognize that no "mandate" waa given by the students. It should further recognize from the small percentage of students voting (599 wt of 8,300 or approximately 7 percent that this is not a matter to be decided upon by ASUSU. Perhaps mOII of our students recognile that this is a matter to be decided by the government of the United States. Finally, if the leaders Ii our state and country are to receive the results Ii this referendum , let's give them all of the resul1I (e.g., the exact figures fer all three categories).

Commentary
Questions technology This is the first of two articles concerning Christians, their Church, and the social system and culture they share. It is written with the hope of sparking thought and dialogue . It springs also from an intense desire to actually live in the world that lies within our vision and grasp . G.P . Fedotov, talking of social systems, has said, and I agree , that ..."since a social system does affect people's moral and spiritual welfare and can either demoralize or train them in the right principles , it obviously cannot be a matter of indifference to a Christian. What social system must he, then , strive for? For one which best embodies justice and the principles of brotherhood , which make struggle against evil more easy and provides more favourable conditions for the spiritual development personality ... " (italics mine ).
of
At anytime in the recorded history of mankind when a social system did not fit the above criteria , what functioned as a church surely had the obligation to bring about, by its. deeds and actions , this very desireable social climate. Today it is even more of an obligation ; it is possibly a final chance! We live in troubled times . Times in which it has been said that "man rushes first to be saved by technology, and then to be saved from it."
personal improvement , but also for any organization seeking to fashion the better world. The Christian Church today, though they are but a faint echo of their original founding impulse are still direct heirs to the solution of U1is deception. We need look no further than Jesus' admonition on the Mount to "Do unto others ... " to realize that the original Christian experience was meant to be an intensely personal morality. If it is true that "in the beginning was the Word" then it is not so much that we need to "sea rch for the new morality ," but rather to re -discover the old, pure Christian morality. A morality , not simply of church at tendance and mechanical ritual, but a practical -action morality carried out in the daily life of the individual. Action labeled , disparagingly , by some as secularization. We must have a secular orientation, but one that is balanced by the personal "inner voice". Only the seculariz ation that Bonhoeffer speaks of as being based on "ultimate honesty" will make it. The ultimate honest that has its original confirmation in the inner Being. The American citizen ha s increasingly defined himself by external , paying little heed to his internal Being wherein lies real freedom and individualization. The Kingdom of Heaven, along with all it enta ils, truly does lie within. Also the ultimate answer to the question of transcendence will be found here. End of Part I. .. J.J. Platt
as panacea
Now, I don't believe this is entirely true. First, I don't believe man rushed to be saved by technology ; that is, it was not a rational-conscious rushing ; it just kind of happened . (Surely no one would have consciously chosen the technology-caused ecological crisis we now find ourselves in). Consciousness comes, personally as well as nationally , when things get bad , ( there is no large scale ecological consciousness until there is a large scale ecological crisis ), and in this sense man today is truly rushing to be saved from technology. But this also is not entirely true, because it is not technology per se, for in itself it is neutral, but rather how it is being used. Man's fear is of the misuse of technology; and hence, finally man's fear is of the practices of other men . The greatest problem facing the Church (or anyone else that might be actively trying to bring about a Christian-like social system) is that of re-kindling the internal-personal responsibility center in individual men, because as has been pointed out, the "e vasions of responsibility become inevitable as soon as morality becomes social, not personal. " Put simply, " It is easier to fool society than one's inner voice ... " I see this deception as the crucial objective to be overcome, not only for j ......

Tomorrow, two sinall Samoan boys will meet their father for the
Boys to reunite with father after three year separation
first time in three and one half
years. They ' ll have to talk to him through an interpreter though, because they've been in a Salt Lake City hospital so long that they've forgotten how to speak their native tongue. Tomorrow afternoon 12-year-old See la Piula and his brother, Tiseema. 10. are to meet their father, Fuga Piula, at the Salt Lake International Airport. He is scheduled to come to the United States to take his boys back to their native land. It will be the first time they've seen him since July 22, 1967, when Tiseema and Seela were brought to the United States for treatment of a bone disease. If all goes well, they are to be rel eased from Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lak e City April 8, to resume life in the "o utsid e" world.
Samoan boys have been in the hospital so long they have forgotten how to speak native tongue adapt after spending much of their lives in a hospital. " They've been here so long, they've be co me 'hospitalized' and demand a lot of attention," says Gary Bird, a social worker. To help Seela adjust to a nor mal home life he has been
spending weekends at the home of Larry Brown, chief physical therapist. The hospital Ii.as its own school and Seela has progressed to fifth grade studies and Tiseema to the third grade.
Samoan recently - and couldn't get to five. "They can say 'hello' and 'good.by' but that's about it," he says. Bird said their father plans to move to a new job In New Zealand when the boys are released from the hospital. That way they will be near the continuing medical care they need.
Loss of Culture However, loss of the Samoan culture has the hosoital's adminstration concerned. Physical therapy aide Chuck Vought says the boys were trying to count in
"We're not sure how they wilt b.lrn out," Bird said. He said some patients treated similarly in the past have thrown away their crutches and braces when they reb.lrned home and reverted to crawling. "We hope they'll stick with it," he said.

Brittle Bones
is the closest Utah is going to get to Detroit
Seela and Tissema suffer from a congenital bone disease osteogenesis imperfects or brittle bones. Their ·bones are so soft that they break almost at a touch. Hospital officials hope that when the boys ' bones mature at age 15 or 16 the disease will go away. When found by missionaries, the boy s had suffered many broken bones, which were r eset crookedly and deprived them of the use of their lowe r limbs. Considered Curiosities Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Mormon, which is paying tor the medical treatment, sa id the boys were regarded as curiosities on their home island of Savaii in West Sumoa. They could move only by using their hands and e lbows to drag themselves along the ground. Now, after nearly four yeas of countless operations and endless hours of physical therapy at Primary Hospital, it's believed the boys are ready to be released to their almost-forgotten family. Among the nine brothers ana sisters at home are some that Seela and Tiseema haven't even seen. All of the brothers and sisters are healthy. Can Walk Well Seela has progressed to the point where he can walk reasonalby well with the aid of crutches. His younger brother can get around the hospital in a wheelchair.

Hearing damaged 1
Rock music causesnerve damage'
(Editor's note: The following feature ls the final of a three-part aeries on the communicative dl1order1 department at Utah State.) Call him a little old lady if you want. Bill Strock thinks he has good reason to worry about the here-now, but not hear-later generation. Rock may be ruin, according to this graduate student in communicative disorders. Bill has been doing some in• teresting research in the sound effects of loud hard rock music. He started it while at Eastern New Mexico State University, where the big sound began to bug him. He got hold of a sound level meter and started checking the decibel s put out by bands on campus. Hi s background in communicative disorders told him students' ears were being banged badly by the bands. The instrument's needle literally went out of sight at the far end of the scale . Monitor Noise Lev~! His suggestion that bands be monitored and noise level con• trolled fell on deaf ears, so to speak, but his interest didn ' t fade. After transferring to Utah State and entering the graduate school in communicative disorders, Bill kept his interest. He found in a study that three of a
test group of ten lost 15 to 30 decibels hearing afterexposureto loud rock. The three were musicians. In Logan's swinging Bistro, Bill and his " noise meter" found that usually bands start at a "Low level, say 110 to 114 decibels output. .. enough to widen the generation gap about three feet in most homes. Then the typical group cra nks up the volum e at so me point in the evening. As a point of reference , safety stan• dards in industry limit industrial noise output to 80 or 90 decibels during an eight.hour period."

Damaging to Nerves The rough thing about the rock bands, according to this student of audiology , is the octave range of the electronic guitars and organs. They are in the 2,000 to 4,000 cycle per second category, which is damaging to the nerves critical for hearing speech. In his most recent experiment, Susan Nell, a 20 year old USU coed, who normall y listens to rock four to five hours a day with the volume turned up, was tested for hearing, then expose d to Santana, A Lovely Day, and other acid ro ck records of her own choosing for a n hour . Susan chose her own volume, or as close to it as the two speakers could go witho ut mechanical damage. Herselected volume was 110 decibels! And in

Sweden women demand:
'Equal pay
aren't women less ambitious than men in their professional lives? Because she is under stress from her double role as housewife and worker, doesn't a woman have a more negative attitude towards her work? And are not women absent more frequently than men? The Swedish Council for Personnel Administration found these answers:

More Appreciative
equal work' Ann Wtlkens AP Writer Stockholm, Sweden - Equal opportunity still is a hot Issue in Sweden, but there appear to be strong tendencies toward less rigid views on sex roles. "Men can now say they can't go to a board meeting unl ess it is held in their home and they can look after the children," says Camilla Odhnoff, Sweden's fa mily minister .
" Girls are starting to choose less conventional careers, but in this respect I think men are st ill conservative," ~she adds.
Controversial Issue The status of women in Sweden has been a controversial issue here since long before 1921, when they were first allowed to go to the polls. It is perhaps s ignificant that
the terminology has changed. What was once the "woma n question" has become the "sex role question" or even the "low• income question." Mrs . Odhnoff, speaking for the Social Democratic government , does not think equality ca n be achieved by changing laws which are already designed to serve this very end. This is where views differ; on how to interpret the rules. In the name of childr en, in the name of love a nd in the name of that diffuse quality called "woman hood," they have been read out to mean just abo ut anything. Militant faminists in Sweden have already started using ex• pressions like, " women power" and some are, at least in words, committ ing themselves to un• parliamentary action. Mrs . Odhnoff does not think there would be any point in taking such act ion. "It would be a great step in the
wrong direction ," she said. " There is a great deal of at• tention focused on low•income problems right now and in this context, women's problems can be solved without an excess of hostility ." The equal.pay principle in Swedish governm ent service was established in 1947. The year before, women had become eligible to apply for ce rtain posts in governmen t service where before no women were allowed. Women Ministers Since
1961, the established

"E qual pay is not enough, we must get equal work," Mrs . Odhnoff added. "On e thing which has to be done and is done in this context is to speed up the building of day • care centers. This has increased by 30 percent during the last year, but the lin es of waiting parents are st ill longer than ever.'' In 1967, a survey on the need for day .care cente r s showe d betwe en 70 and 90 percent of all mothers prefer to leave their children in centers rather than with private families.

Baltimore, Md. (AP) A Johns Hopkins researcher says many common cold suffers are given remedies they don't need and some that can be harmful. A perfectly adequate treatment for the common cold is bed rest, aspirin and nasal sprays, says Dr. Paul D. SteUey of the Department of Hygiene and Public Health of Johns Hopkins Medical School. "Yet 95 percent of those who consult their physicians are given prescriptions. "And 90 percent of those remedies are preparations like antibiotics and antihistamines, which have not been found ef. fective through controlled tests or which are inadvisable because of possible harmful side effects," Stolley said. In an interview Wednesday, the
researcher said that white antibiotics are valuable for bac• terial illness, they are useless in the treatment of virus . caused disorders. Antihistamines dry up runny noses, but the drying is a side effect and has nothing to do with the antihistamine action, which can produce unwanted drowsiness, among other things. Stolley said the average physician uses about 250 drugs in his practice, and even many hospitals use less than 500. "I don't think it would be too drastic to cut the 22,000 down to 4,000."

Dennis
(Editor's following
note:
The
commentary is Dennis Jovenett!'s impressions of a recent Dirt band concert held in Salt Lake City.)
When the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band took the stage at the University of Utah Union Ballroom last Friday evening they gained almost total control of the audience. I've never seen a Utah audience react to a group with hoots and hollers and foot stomping and clapping in beat; ,no screaming, cat-calls or storming the stage. It was also one of the finest Dirt Band concerts I've seen. Surely the audience reaction from their opening song to the cries for more after their fourth encore would illustrate how the people enjoyed the concert.
The first thing one sees in the Dirt Band is their pure enjoyment of the music they're playing, and the inter-action between the band members . Their style is loose and informal , something like .old friends getting together again to drink some Ripple and play some music; except that these 'friends' are on stage playing no less than four instruments each, ranging from guitars and drums to mandolins, fiddles and accordian .

Norman Goldstein AP Writer New York (AP) - The day _of the X-rated film appears to be over, at least for the major American film companies. Some have publicly vowed not to produce or distribute films which might get that restrictive tag, which bars it to viewing by those 17 years old j\nd younger . Others have no such announced policy , but say privately they "probably wouldn ' t'" now make a picture that would get that kind of rating. Facts Aid Trend The apparent trend is aided by two significant facts: - X-rated films, by their very nature with lots of nudity or rough language , appeal to a minority audience and aren't making a lot of money.

Pocatello, Idaho (AP) - Idaho State University ' s Mini-dome stadium, with its 100-foot high ceiling, is being used to flight test air pollution tracking balloons. A research team from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Commission started its two week series of tests Monday to determine how accura tely triangular shaped balloons respond to air currents and temperature changes. The balloons are designed to respond to air currents in the same way as pollutants . They are tracked with radar to learn where pollutants are being carried by air currents. Ray Dickson , chief meteorologist for the commission's Air Resources Lab Field Research Office, said tests have shown pollutants from the East Idaho area sometimes "are carried right over the continental divide . ...

Women's Intramural outlook: more support in new complex Anyone would bet that the Women 's Intramural Program at
USU would be a success, would probably
expect
to get rich on
chain letters. Men's Intramural Association? Yes . Women's? Forg et it! After all, you'd hav e chances of better success walking through Central Park at midnight lighting cigar s with money. l mean, the program just doesn't have a
chance.
manaF ~rs Ruth Parks and Pat Okelberry , receive no pay for their time and se rvice given the program. But despite the shortcomings in that respect, the WIA achieves enough participation to keep a smooth program operating. With the new building , the WIA expects an increase in student support. · Three Open Nights
Or does it? The WIA at Utah State goes the usual route of Irick of money, support and enth u sia sm. But
despite its logical hang -ups, the USU women' s I nt ram ural Department ha s ha d it share of ac hievements and ac tiv ities. Buildin g A Joy "Of course we have a lot of problems to deal w ••·1." WIA President Debbi e r C<'I s ays, "perhaps the . big gest a r ea we lacked wa s th at of pr oper faciliti es. But with lht new building and fac iliti es, we've got an optimisti c c h an ce of increasing our pro gr am "Our bud ge:. is separa te fr om the men's inttamural pr ogram, a nd we r ect-·Ye far le.ss money than they do .

Three nights per quarter the PE building is reserv~d for women only. This is a new feature that will give some shy girls a chance to work-out when males are not aro und . P er hap s the biggest drawback in women's activities can be written off to the psycological fear of embarrassing themselves. "A lot of men don't think there 's a plac e for women in at hletics. " P ee l states, "b ut we feel that a woman can get physical exerc ise and still retain her role as a fema le ." The WIA has slate d five major activities for spring quarter, including Bowling, Table Tennis, Softball, Track and a High School Activity Day . The High School Day will take place on April 3, giving girls from Northern Utah and Southern Idaho an op : portunity to vis it USU. Folk Dance activities, campus tours, bowling , basketball,
volleyball and tennis are among the activities provided for the visiting girls. Shelley Summers, ~ice-president of the WIA is in charge of this event. Sororities hav e been a big cog in the WIA wheel. Although eve ry dorm has been represented in Intramural activities , Peel feels that "sororities really keep us going." " They have so much enthusiasm, plus the fact that we've never had any trouble getting them to participate. Th ey are always there. " Faculty advisors Lucille Chase and Lois Downs are the head of the WIA structure, and work in cooperatio n with the Intramural staff to organize and operate the program. The WIA at USU is alive, definetely. And although it may not be as full in volume as it would like to be, the only way for it to go is up.
