SALT LAKE TRIBUNE reports that during formal meeting with University of Utah's president, nine Utah legislators from Utah County (home of BYU) criticize coursework at state campus. Utah County legislators (including several members of appropriations committee for University of Utah) complain about "topics being taught that are inconsistent with the beliefs of the predominant religion, particularly in the Graduate School of Social Work and the department of philosophy." These legislators (eight republicans out of nine) also have "concerns about the Women's Resource Center." (1)

Joseph, Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, Hyrum Smith, John Whitmer, Sidney Rigdon, Samuel H. Smith, Frederick G. Williams, and W. W. Phelps pray for relief from debt, deliverance of Zion without bloodshed, protection from the Missourians, and the means to buy inheritances in Zion to accomplish the Lord's work there, "all this easily and without perplexity and trouble; and finally, that in the end He would save us in His celestial kingdom."
