...House Ways and Means Chairman Wilbur Mills was more severely critical than ever before. "The economic policies of this Administration are failing," he told an audience in Ogden, Utah. "I agree with neither the conclusions reached by the economic spokesmen of the Administration nor the medicine that they are proposing." Then, in general form, Mills prescribed his own remedy: some controls on wages and prices, plus a ceiling on federal spending. Mills would also reduce income taxes primarily for people in low-income brackets and restore investment tax credits (of an undisclosed amount) to stimulate businessmen's sluggish spending...
Lacking funds to expand this spring, the University of Utah's medical school had room for only 100 of its 1,400 applicants. Throughout the nine-campus University of California, the headlong growth of the past decade is slackening. Berkeley alone is dropping more than 150 faculty jobs. To save $25,000 this summer, the University of Kansas is leaving its broad lawns uncut. Private campuses are in the worst trouble. A number of small ones are closing down, and others are merging with public institutions. This is the last school year, for example, for Illinois' Monticello College...
...want to live next door to generating plants that spew soot and noxious gases, discharge hot water and spawn unsightly transmission lines. As a result, the area's electric utilities decided to build new plants as far away from people as possible-in the desert shared by Arizona, Utah, Nevada and New Mexico. Eventually, a consortium of 23 public and private organizations in seven states were involved in planning the distribution of energy from what will be the second largest power project in U.S. history. When completed, at least six huge coal-fired plants* will produce 14 million kilowatts...
College campuses have led the way. In 1965, only 25 colleges gave accredited courses directly or indirectly related to jazz. By next September, some 500 will offer jazz as part of bona fide curriculums; the University of Utah has just instituted a Ph.D. in jazz composition. As recently as 1967, only one U.S. college-North Texas State-offered a major in jazz. This year ten colleges are awarding jazz degrees. Other schools offer swinging seminars by guest "professors" like Cannonball Adderley, Clark Terry and Billy Taylor who discuss such vital matters as the trumpet lip trill and, almost as important...
...costly phenomenon: campaign expenditures. The growing dominance of TV on every level of political salesmanship has raised campaign costs astronomically and convinced the public that politics really is a rich man's game. Even running for a modest office like, for instance, Congressman from the First District in Utah, requires at least $70,000; in a few hotly contested urban constituencies, the cost of running a successful campaign would boggle the mind of an old-fashioned Tammany boss. When it comes to a major campaign for Senator or Governor, let alone President, the cash required would have stunned even...
