Entertainment Goodbye farewell and amen k53S B!B53 t « «tm , An odd assortment of characters have preoccupied our minds for the past 11 years and our desire to see them each week day at 5:30 p.m. and 10:40 p.m. caused us to resche- dule classes and end our dates early. Who else but the sometimes lovable, sometimes poignant and always memorable characters of the hit series M ' A S H. They grabbed our attention. The series, which began on September 17, 1972, and ran longer than the entire Korean War, aired its final episode February 28, 1983. During its 11 year run, the show was decorated with 14 Emmys, and received 99 Emmy nominations. All will reminisce over Klinger ' s knees, Henry Blake ' s fishing hat, BJ ' s mustache, Hawkeye ' s Hawaiian shirt, Frank Burns ' ferret face, Margaret Houlihan ' s insatiable desires, Radar O ' Reilly ' s teddy bear (and knack for predicting choppers ), Charles Emerson Winchester Ill ' s disgust with the ' Swamp ' and Father Mulcahy ' s incessant pi- ano playing in the bar and ever-present lis- tening ear. 1983 The Daily Universe Reproduced by permi: Nation ' s top ten for 1982 chosen Top Grossing Films Top Ten TV Shows 1.

' Elder Richards Dies at Age 96 Elder LeGrand Richards, a member of the Council of Twelve and the oldest general authority of the LDS Church, died January 11, 1983, in Salt Lake City at the age of 96. Elder Richards served for more than 60 years as an official of the LDS church. He was called to the Council of the Twelve in April 1952. Before that, he served as the pre- siding bishop of the LDS Church for 14 years. BYU President Jeffrey R. Holland ex- pressed the sadness felt by the BYU commu- nity when the news of Elder Richards ' death was released. Brigham Young University joins with Latter-day Saints around the world in extend- ing its sympathy and love to the family of Elder LeGrand Richards at this time of his passing. No church leader was more beloved by our faculty, staff and students at BYU over the more than 40 years. None could have asked him to stay with Hinkley Plea On June 21, 1982, John Hinkley Jr. was found innocent by reason of insanity of attempting to kill the President of the Unit- ed States and of 12 other offenses related to the shooting.

i Commcniary Tuition a bargain Tuition is going up again— a fact of life at BYU for the past 10 years. With a tuition increase also comes the inevitable grumblings of students who say tuition is already too high and the increase far exceeds inflation. A quick comparison of BYU tuition fees with those charged at other schools shows that we have a better education bargain than we may have realized. The University of Utah charges $870 per year for a full-time student, only $350 less than BYU. That ' s not bad for a private school compared to a public institution. Ivy League schools recently raised their tuition to about $12,000 a year, 10 times that of BYU. We may not be in the same league as some of these schools, but we cer- tainly get more than 10 percent as much education as their students do. BYU ' s tuition is only half of what other private universities charge. For example Oral Roberts charges almost three times as much as this universi- ty, and at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, another private religious school, twice as much. But if one still finds tuition and fees too high, he can attend Utah Technical College for a year for the cost of one BYU semester. The facts show that students here are getting quite a deal, something hard to come by in these tough economic times. Of course these low costs would not be possible without a sizable investment by the LDS Church. Even non-LDS tuition is less than tuition at other private schools. Next time we wish to complain about the high costs of a BYU educa- tion, it may well be appropriate to remember the words of a popular LDS hymn, Count Your Many Blessings. Questions Editor: I am distressed, dismayed, and deeply dis- couraged. I came to BYU in 1978 expecting to find the answers to life ' s difficult ques- tions. I am now a senior, and the three great questions in life remain unanswered for me: 1. Why does every worm in North Amer- ica migrate to the Provo sidewalks after a 2. Why is there no sidewalk on 800 North between 200 and 300 East? 3. Where do all the good looking women go at night? Oh, well. Maybe I ' ll figure it all out in grad school. Jeff Adams, Pleasanton, Calif. e 1983 The Washington Post Arizona Republic. Reproduced by permission. It ' s been a struggle, but fun - Goodbye Y I ' m graduating. I can ' t believe it. I never thought I ' d be able to figure out the G.E. program, let alone complete the require- ments. I survived North Pole winters, gruel- ing apartment lit-., k-i nbarassing ative dates and Physical Science 100. I know how to use the Harold B. Lee Library, know where my academic advise- ment center is located and know where to park without a sticker and get away with it. I managed to keep abreast of an ever-chang- ing ticket distribution policy which made me camp out for tickets, buy tickets from ruth- less scalpers and accept dates I didn ' t want just to see the game. I remember waving colored posters around in the stunt card section in a small football stadium overflowing with vivacious fans. I remember campus before the Kimball Tower, Tanner Building and Conference Centet were built . . . When ASBYU offices looked like a giant garage sale and the Cou- gareat only sold quickie burgers and french I was here when the first Star Wars movie came out and The Star Palace opened for business. I haven ' t been here forever, but four and a half years didn ' t just fly by either. Perhaps I ' m proudest of the fact that I missed being part of the statistics about women who drop out during their first two years of college and never complete their degree. At the same time, I tell my mother that it is possible for me to find a husband in Japan. Paris or Oklahoma and because I ' m graduat- ing single she needn ' t give up on me. And if I ' m suffering from a trip into nostalgia, it ' s only because I look at freshmen and feel positively aged. I ' ll admit, I sometimes wonder if there is Life after BYU. It ' s been comfortable; it ' s been safe. People here care about each other, some- thing that seems to be getting scarce in our world. Yet, I know I will meet good people wherever I go, LDS church members and As I spend time typing up tesumes and interviewing for jobs I realize I ' m about to enter the big time now. I received a good education. My parents and my teachers have done all they can. It ' s up to me now. As I look back over what it took to achieve this goal, I know it was worth it. I won ' t ever be able to say goodbye to BYU, Y mountain and Utah forever be- cause I will always appreciate and cherish the memories formed here. — Torn Latimet Football causes woes Did the BYLI Administtation decide to take a hypocratic oath?

We ' ll turn up our radios loud and true, and hear the Cougars of BYU. Jeff Chandler, Morgan Hill, Calif. -
