Over the past two months, Utah, especially the valley, has seen unstable fluctuations in gas prices. In the last couple of weeks, however, instead of both increases and decreases in the cost of fuel, prices have sky rocketed over a relatively short period of time. While some stations seem to charge more than than others, Jared Antonio, manager of the Springville Chevron on 400 South, explained that it is not the individual corpora tions that dictate price increases. "It is actually OPEC that determines the general increases or decreases in the gas prices," stated Antonio. "Every morning I have to check with them, because they change daily." While it is true that super stations, such as Chevron and Texaco, generally keep prices somewhat higher than prices of small mom-and-pop establishments, Antonio insists that the lower prices are just a tactic by the stores to fool the consumer into ifr niting they are paying less at the local service station. "What they do is lower the gas prices a little and then stick you on the inside prices," said Antonio. "We don't stick you on gas and we don't stick you inside either." Whether or not the prices of in-store goods is an important issue in determining where someone purchases gas, the fact still remains that See GAS CONTINUED on pg.

The laborers unearthed 73 bodies, including two dozen children and babies, from the field belonging to a defrocked Catholic priest who was one of the sect leaders. The grim discovery brings the Political awareness club aims to educate Ben Davis NetXNews Reporter In this valley the question, "Who am I?" is often heard, now a new UVSC club is asking, "What are you?"

Look no further than Utah Valley State College.On March 16 the highly anticipated bachelor's degree in EnglishLiterature was approved for the following semester. "This new degree is definitely an advantage," said Rachel Foulger, a UVSC English major. "We have seen UVSC go from a tech school to a community college, and now to a state college, so the level of education is grow-ing."The consensus among all is that this new degree will insure better jobs and gain more respect for UVSC students in the work force. The foundation for the degree has been building for the past two years as the college offered upper division classes in English that were credited through Weber State College. Of the approxi Teens cleared of charges V Dustin Dye NetXNews E Reporter Last week, The College Times ran a story about an incident which took place Saturday March 11, at Saylor Nyne, a vintage clothing store in Provo. The incident involved a run-in between some local teenagers and the Provo Police. According to the police, six citations were given and two people arrested. Since the story was published, all charges have been dropped with the exception of the city code violations against Saylor Nyne itself.

Two other compounds in southwestern Uganda belonging to the sect remained to be examined. James Bangirana, a local police official, said late Monday that wasn't certain that all the bodies of sect victims had been found. Some of the bodies recovered Monday bore stab wounds and others had pieces of cloth wrapped tightly around their more active in their country's affairs. One of the goals of the Political Awareness club is educate students about current issues and candidates. The club aims to show the differences between parties without supporting one or the other. Chris Beeman, president, feels involvement of college age voters is important for the welfare of the country. "I really feel that an individual canmake a difference If you want these freedoms, you have to be responsible QUOTE OF THE WEEK Gordon R.

'7 mately 200 English majors at UVSC, more than 50 of them have been participating in these transferable classes from Weber State. With a bachelors degree now being offered here, the department believes that many of these transfer students will decide to finish their degree here. Some of the reported issues concerning why the degree took so long to get approved were those of timing and lack of necessary funding. With new degrees being added so fast, the college has a hard time tracking the funding needed to research and push for the degree's acceptance. Dr. Charles Vogel, English department chair, believes this degree to be very important for aspiring English majors.

Apparently, Saylor Nyne has had a warning of this type before, the most recent coming because of a similar event which took place in December. Regretfully, some errors were made in the story which ran last week. In the story it was reported that the event was the store's grand opening, when actually it was more like a grand finale since the store will soon be closing. In addition, Jennifer Harris was cited as the events coordinator, but is actually only a friend of the owners who was helping with the show.
