Mrs. Ruth Bebee Hill, author of ‘*Hanta Yo”’ and a lifelong student of the American Indian, spoke on the student sponsored convocation series, discussing some of her research findings as a part of Indian Emphasis Week. Her studies have involved contacting approximately | ,000 Indians for information and extensive reading on the subject. She said most Indian lore does not concern itself with place of origin, but assumes the Indians have always been here. The word “‘south”’ in some dialects translates into something close to *‘the direction from which we came.’’ Many Indian groups believe in a life force which is in action all the time. A ‘‘familiar voice’’ within each one tells what should be done, not what should be avoided, Mrs. Hill said. . The Indian word for prayer in many cases means something close to addressing a relative, she said. “ productions in the Ogden area. where he had also been executive 7 a" » fet Ney elses one) Playwright’s Workshop. | A native of Cody, Wyo., wherehe J went through pubic shcools, he holdsa ¥ bachelor degree in math and physics — from Utah State University, an M.A. in” theater and music composition from USU, and a master of fine arts degree Earlier work experience includes D ihn Disk Oo a University in playwriting and dramatic literature.

He said in spite of denials at high levels, there is unrelenting pressure _ from backers of the drive for equality for women and the Equal Rights Amendment to get women into combat positions mostly to prove that women are equal in every respect. The top military command in the U.S. is saturated with women’s lib supporters, he declared. He said women lack the physical strength and endurance for combat duty.

President of the Warranty Corp of Ogden and a person who has made his own special studies of the energy problem, Mr. May said that at best the world’s supply of petroleum will be gone in another 40 years. The nation must reduce its dependence on foreign oil and discover ‘‘renewable and inexhaustible sources of energy,” he said. Until new sources are found, oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear power must carry the load, probably for at least the next two decades, he said. Industry should not continue to use natural gas because alternate sources of energy are more practicable there than for many other parts of our economic and social structure, he said. Conservation is cheaper than expanded production, and the country must learn to get along with _ less, he said. _- a aaen a iLS ie aed Charles A. Fuertsch has been named WSC winner of the George C.
