THE GOVERNOR I. Bracken Lee, Governor of Utah, gains recognition on the University of Utah campus for his stalwart ideals in the handling of State affairs. Here is a man with definite ideas who is unafraid to exercise his motives, He has advocated and put into practice economy at all governmental levels in the State over which he has had a voice in expenditures, among other worthwhile endeavors. Some of his measures in Governmental economy have approached the radicalg and yet, he still stands by his principles. The past year has found Governor Lee in the spotlight as he has openly criticized his party and attempted to make an issue of the use of tax revenue to support a foreign aid program. Utah's Governor has in many instances been alone in his views and at other times rallies many to support his plans. We scan the perspective of the last few years and indeed we can see the actions of the Governor as visible and important factors in the pres- ent situation. 25
