By Pam Taylor Summer Editor Two hundred million people driving to and from
work and around town every day are increasing the _pollution problem by more than can be imagined, as 1s common knowledge. There seems to be no end in sight, except for a
new group of environmentalists Bikecology is the answer.

The sa les increase of bicycles across the United States is a sure indication that the fad of bike riding is catching on but members of Bikecology feel that it can help solve some of the perilous pollution problem.

wanted one. At the present time there is a waiting list of 80 people and nearly the entire Christmas stock has been sold. Bikecologists may hit a minor setback when all those who want to join the group will be without the proper mode of transportation. Larsen predicts that the waiting list will grow even longer in the fall when college students return to school. A chapter of Bikecology is in the process of being formed at Utah State. Thosewhoare interested may contact J. J. Platt in the ActiVity Center for further information.
CAUSESMINIMUM OF STRESS According
to
supporters
of the group whose
headquarters are in Santa Barbara, California, bicycling causes a minimal amount of stress on the earth's systems since it requires so few natural resources to function and at the same time creates little disruption to the earth. The purpose of Bikecology is to create an awareness of bicycling as a positive influence on the ecological reform of the land, and to establish the bicycle as a significant mode of transportation. Bicycling in Logan has also seen a boom in the past year as has the whole country.
SALES UP According to Robert Larsen, manager of Al's Sporting Goods in downtown Logan, sales have increased 200 percent over last year and the only reason they haven't increased more is because they haven't had enough bikes for all the people who

Tale advice from an old friend
I
the cheerleaders are here had a trying day Monday. I spent part of my afternoon trying to figure out the social relevancy of the cheerleader. Surrounded by some 900 such persons which, incidentally, come in matched sets of four, five and six, I tried to decide just what that young budding adolescent was going to gain from three days on the USU campus. Finding it easier to find real purposes for cracks in the sidewalk and monkeys dressed up in little suits carrying tin cans, I decided to visit a session of instruction at the cheer leading clinic and see what I was missing. "Picture yourself," the leader said. "lt' s the big game. Now you're going to need those yell cheers, you're going to need those rhythm cheers and you're going to need those novelty cheers if the game doesn't happen to be so big." "During my days as a cheerleader," he said, we used the hulla-hoop. Now that shows when my day was." Chuckled response from 200 youngsters in sets of five with assorted colors of tennis shoes. "You can use a frizbee , for instance. Just pick whatever' s in." Still a bit bewildered about the whole deal I left pondering probably the most ironic experience I've ever had which was to sit in a sociology class learning about thousands of youngsters in central cities across the United States who can' t afford to eat or go to school, while a group of kids learns to jump up and down to the tune of $15 a day.

utah State doesn't have the greatest relations with the University of utah, but a good suggestion should be accepted from anywhere . Recently the U of U Student Government tried to cut $20 ,000 from the student appropriation to the athletic department in an attempt to get more money for intramural athletics. Although the prop osa l was defeated it is a beginning in the fight for more student participation per dollar. The utah student leaders argued that at the present time only 250 to 300 students "actively" participate in the intercollegiate program, yet the program receives $240,000 a year in student funds. They felt that part of the money could be put to better use in intramural sports and women's intramural sports. 2ND CLASS SPORTS Intramural athletics , and other club sports, have for too long been buried under the golden accolades of intercollegiate athletics, yet it is the one athletic organization that can serve the entire studentbody. No intercollegiate athletic program can actively engage 8,000 students. Simply because there aren't enough uniforms for the male students, and women are not allowed to play. Intramural sports programs can, through the virtually unlimited number of sports available, provide every student with the opportunity to participate in athletic competition. A small amount of the $5.00 paid by every student for intercollegiate athletics could fund an intramural program that would make intercollegiate athl .etics look anemic in compa rison.
Resources plan given funds Utah State has been awarded a
three-year contract and a grant tor a million and a half dollar s ($1 ,500,000 ) from the Bureau of Reclamation as part of their atmospheric water recources program. The grant goes to the utah Wa -
ter Research Laboratory for resear ch to develop operational systems for seeding cold clouds. The ultimate goal ofthe proje ct is to learn enough about the atmospheric conditions for effective operations to inc rease the snow pack, thereby providing
needed water for the state. Effectlvenss of the program is
presently monitored by 46 gauge stations where snowtall is measured. The project covers an area from Idaho to Salt Lake and to the Wyoming border -two stations being in Wyoming. The grant is the third one for the University to receive from the government for this project. USU LOCA T!ON IDEAL
According to Dr. Jay M. Bagley , Utah Water Research Laboratory director, USUbecame involved with the program because of two main reasons. One, the university had previously developed a capability of gauging the effectiveness of the program ; and second, it ls situated near an ideal location, the area having an abrubt drop at the Wasatch range and air movement from • west to east, ideal co ld cloud movement. Seeding experiments are accomplished by placing silver iodide particles in the co ld c louds either from the air or the ground. At the research lab's request, measurements from the 46 gauge stations are sent in for analysts. According to Dr. Bagley, "increases of up to 100 per cent have been recorded in some target areas with the clouds being seeded from the air by planes fiying into the cloud mass."
from the ground experiments where a mixture containing sil ver iodide is burned. The smoke carries the particles airborne, and hopefully the air currents will take the silver iodide particles to the clouds. Dr. Bagley said that the air seeding experiments, although appearing more successful, are
als o more costly. Project director of the experiment is Dr. Charles Chappel, associate professor of meterotogy. He is assisted by electronic specialists, a weather forecaster, field operators, and meterology, hydrology and chemis try professors , plus a number of graduate students.
FRANKLY SPEAKING
b,Philflanlc:
RULES CHANGE Another sports event which may have big consequences is the Big Sky athletic conference's decision to limit the number of scholarships awarded. The Big Sky action ¡ follows closely that of the Financial Aid Committee of the NCAA. The Big Sky limited both the number of scholarships that can be given and the number of players who can suit up for games in football plus limiting aid in other sports . The Big Sky action should serve as a test case for the financial committee report. If the new actions work out financially and do not damage the quality of football and basketball the NCAA may have found a way soothing its financial crisis . This could help schools, such as Utah State, from having to drop minor sports. If costs are reduced in the major sports then the incentive to drop minor sports should be reduced. Preston Peterson

Carnival
Back stage before curtain time -new faces appe Costuming for a regular musical can be a real job but for a produ ction

where
all the cha racters are circus performers
the make-up and cos-
tuming becomes even more exciting.
Performers would be at the Fine Arts Center early last week each night before the perform -

artists
had a new twist
to work with. The circus make-up as well as the cos tumes and scenery all helped add to the big-top atmosphere of this year's production.
