Wkite HA" News Desk Editor T Council of Student Council Presidents (UCSP) met at Weber State University on Oct. 14 to discuss various subjects, including that of concealed weapons on college campuses. Baron A. Rohbock, UVSC Student Council President, represented the collective views taken from a poll of 1,000 students at UVSC. "I, myself, have one vote of 20,000," he said. "Personally, I am totally opposed to having concealed weapons, but it is my responsi-bilty to voice the opinions of the students." All the Student Council Presidents of each of the colleges and universities in Utah were at the UCSP meeting. ""The way that this, or any issue gets to a final decision is by going through three seperate levels of organization," said Rohbock. "It goes through each of the individual student governments, the UCSP and the USA (Utah Student Association) and then we present it to the legislature." The controversy over this anti-gun campaign comes just weeks after an article appeared in The Deseret News outlining UVSC's gun policies. The article stated, much to the surprise of students, as well as the public, that UVSC has a license to manufacture and sell guns. The article also shed light on a little known course of study offered at UVSC: students can take a riflesmithing class on campus. Rohbock remains neutral on the issue. "I don't have enough information on that to make a comment," he said. "What I do know is that this issue has been on the table for a while now, and that's On v ' L Cjaliforir V.... I V weapons issue. "I'm absolutely supportive of a ban on guns on campus. So is the UVSC Board of Trustees. Even though state law says if one has a concealed weapon permit they can (have guns on campus), we say they cannot! We violate the law. Can they sue us? Yeah, but I won't tolerate (guns) on campus." Despite the state law, there is a UVSC policy that considers the pos session or use of weapons as a catagory of misconduct. The campus police are instructed that if they find a gun in the possession of a student, they are to "either escort the student off campus or confisi-cate it," said Romesberg. "We're not going to install metal detectors to ensure they don't bring guns on campus, and we can't have campus police search them, but they know they can't bring guns or any concealed weapons on campus. They just can't; if they do, then it will be dealt with from there." Hypothetical situation: a stu- See Strapped CONTINUED on pg.

Bybee explained that all firearms purchased for the classes are military issue ritles dating back to the early 1900s. Students buy the rifle in pieces and then learn to refurbish the weapon as well as tackle any problem that might occur in the process. The two classes were originally part of a two-year gunsmithing degree, but due to lack of public interest, the program was modified. "Now what we do is community service where people want to repair a gun they already have." The second gun course offered through UVSC is a Concealed Firearms Permit Class. The permit class is taught by two departments, Business Management, and Continuing Education. Classes offered by the two departments are similar in cost and application. While instructors change frequently for continuing education's course, professors Anita Musto and Nolan Lickey teach the business department's class. Concealed Firearms Permit Class is offered in workshop form during one four-hour class. While no test is required of the class for obtaining a permit, Lickey said that his classes are always open to questions. He also states that time on a shooting range is an essential part of his teaching. "1 require range time, not all instructors do."
