Thursday, November 6, 1 975 Star-Tribune, Casper, Wyo. 25 Conte cancellation I in brief spurs student protest V.I XJW Democrats to dome By ALICE KUCHINSKAS LARAMIE Several University of Wyoming students clashed, with Laramie City Council members Tuesday night over cancellation of the Pub Crawl. The Pub Crawl was cancelled Saturday morning by Union Activities Council leaders after the university withdrew its support for the event and the licenses of participating bars were threatened by city of ficlals. Opposition to the event stemmed from the amount of alcohol a contestant had to consume in order to complete the race. Ann Bille, a member of UAC, complained that the officials opposed to the event could have voiced objections earlier.

"The big disappointment was that the Pub Crawl was cancelled the morning of the event," Miss Bille said. In reply, Laramie Mayor Ted Gertsch said that he contacted Gary Espeland, UAC program coordinator, Tuesday some four days before the event. "The city was concerned about the health and welfare of those participating," Gertsch said. Jim Bryd, also a member of the UAC, told the council that the rules of the crawl had been changed after the UAC had first received opposition to the event. Scott Clay, another UAC member, said he felt the contest had been well-planned.

"We had established set boundaries where the crawlers could go, Clay said. According to Gertsch, the amount of alcohol required, even after the rules were changed, was dangerous. "I'm not talking about dead dunk," he said. "I'm just talking about dead." He said he felt that the bar owners "acted irresponsibly in agreeing to the rules of the crawl." "We did put pressure on the bars and I'm going to consider this when those licenses come up for renewal," Gertsch said. w.

LARAMIE Campus Democrats have issued a statement op-T posing the proposed "All Events Center at the University of Wyoming. 1m Bob Warburton, president of the 20-member campus political group, said Wednesday that 13 campus Democrats endorsed the resolution which he said will be aired Ijefore the UW Student Senate. He said that he'll ask that student organization to go on record opposing the domed stadium propo: kl. I The resolution asserts that the $22 mllli( asked of the Wyoming legislature won't cover all construction costs "and, therefore, tnore monies will surely be needed later to pmplete construction." The Democrats' statement also points out that a domed stadium jp would serve only a handful of state residents compared to the tenefits that would be generated "If these Jinonies were allocated to rf the university and the community collegegfor use In upgrading and Expanding their educational and physical! facilities, these monies would then be distributed more equitably imong all the citizens of Wyoming." 7 rl The resolution urged the Student Senateo voice its opposition to the proposal because "the extra expenditure for the All Events Center, also known as the dome, Is not in the best Interests of the students of the University of Wyoming or of the citizens' of Wyoming as a whole."

Mrs. Larson is a local attorney while Mrs. Fitzgerald is the Fremont County vice chairman of the Democratic Party. The pair told the board that additional petitions are still circulating and that several hundred more signatures are expected. The two women said that opposition to the proposal which state officials still contend Is in the planning stages stems from the dearth of year-round employment opportunities for a felon population.

Police, medical and social services Mrs. Fitzgerald and Mrs. Larson also stressed that the petitions are sternly written to "unconditionally protest and oppose the placement of a minimum security facility at Riverton" and that arguments by state officials would fall to sway a community that would remain strongly opposed to building the facility near Riverton. The state board also learned of Riverton Police Chief Dennis Horyza's opposition to the Riverton site. The Riverton Chamber of Commerce stands opposed to the location, too, the two women told the board.

The board will further discuss the site at its December meeting and Gov. Herschler assured Mrs. Fitzgerald and Mrs. Larson that the board had other optional locations which would be discussed. Roots of Peace attempts to pool the strength of traditionalist Indians.

"We also want to discuss the future of all unborn generation," Rarihokwats said. "We feel this country still can learn from the Indians even after 200 years of coexistence." Indian tradition predicts a desaster will come to this country according to Rarihokwats. "We cannot stop this tragedy but we can determine what will happen to our children," he said. According to Rarihokwats, natural law, governs the universe and those who live closest to natural law will be least affected by the predicted disaster. "People must change their life-style or have it changed by natural law," he said.

According to Juan Reyna, also a member of White Roots of Peace, people need to develop a closer harmony with the earth. "There are many things we can learn from birds and animals," Reyna said. "People are becoming more aware of shortages but are still dependant on things bought with money." "People today are more dependant and helpless than in the 1930's. A depression now would be more destructive," Reyna said. Members of White Roots of Peace believe that traditional Indian views of harmony with nature offer a solution to many problems facing society today.

The group held a series of "TepeeTalks" in a tepee which they set up on the University of Wyoming campus.

An exhibit of crafts, posters and publications was errected by the group and made available for purchase by the students. White Roots of Peace was formed in 1969 by a group of Mohawk Indians wishing to renew their commitment to the ancient Iroquois belief In an aggressive pursuit of peace.

"We need a dog pound but we don't need any veterinary clinic, and the truth," York continued. "We need a fire station a hell of a lot more than that thing. "It's a shame to take $35,000 of this year's revenue sharing because where are we going to get the money to keep it going next year? Revenue sharing is stopping in 76," York added. "I'm not trying to override, I'm questioning the contract," York said, and added that he feels the contract gives the clinic a good deal and the city a bad one.

In other action, Kurt Kaiser, a Cheyenne municipal bonds broker, at York's request, reported on Cheyenne's downtown plan of off-street parking, coupled with urban renewal. Kaiser said Cheyenne had rennovated and installed a parking lot on a downtown block and this acted as a boost to the downtown economy. York said he favors use of off-street lots in Sheridan, and also the rebuilding of store backs to encourage use of alley entrances. York then placed the council into secret session to discuss applications for a new director of city utilities, he said. SHERIDAN Mayor Russell York has refused to sign the contract for the Dog and Cat Clinic.

This was despite the fact that the city douncil overruled his veto of the ordinance. The question then arose: can the council legally sign the contract without the mayor's signature? Discussion at the caucus meeting Indicated that the council could direct its president to sign the contract, but there also could be the possibility of a citizen's suit. York said he believed that a strict law and an ordinary dog pound would be sufficient, and that a fancy clinic would be a waste of money. "There's nothing that has given me more trouble than dogs since I've been mayor," York said. "There's not a day i I Oh Vi AN 7- WASHINGTON (UPI)- Sen.

Hansen said he felt all three inen George Bush for diector of the Central Intelligence Agency and Elliot Richardson Secretary of Commerce, Rumsfeld were capable "and qualified for the jobs. But I think Don Rumsfeld, because of his close association with the President, very likely will face a drawn-out questioning process from his Senate interrogators," he said. "They could get into areas that Mr. Rumsfeld would feel were highly sensitive, and as a consequence I should anticipate that he'll have a tougher time than either Mr.
