HE FAIRHAS many faces. LastT SaMd',y" after thirteen hours,the meaning crystallized,showing brilliantly the facets

of the fair., 'The day reflects change. Changes in the

quality, of light, the noise level, the trafficflow and in the people.

Morning events center around theviewing and judging of livestock, Four-H,truly identify a fair.truely identify a fair.

Around noon the carnies begin setting uptheir side shows, working on the rides, andrearranging arcade prizes. The sun is hotand the beer garden and an atternoon showawait you.

Eating binges are indulged throughoutthe day as appetites are quenched with thefancy of the moment.

Afternoons are spent lollygaggingaround the, booths, or resting, orpeoplewatching.

Dusk hits and the fair slowly changes its'emphasis toward the carnival. A cacophonyof glittering lights and blaring soundengulfs the incoming swarms of people asthe grandstand entertainment breaks.

The intrique of the carnival, filled withsmells of cotton candy and carmel apples,sends adrenalin through your veins. Thecloak of dark' transforms. it. Sideshowfacades 'are much more evident; ..withgharish colors and dramatic carnies in their:element.

It's miles away from the pale sunlightand the chill of morn.

The grounds for the Western Idaho Fairbelong to Ada County and consist of 250acres.The Les Bois racetrack used to bepart of the operation, but now, it'sindependent of the fair;

A board of seven members chosen by theAda County Commissioners oversees thefinancial and legal end of the fair, hives

, management, and establishes policies.Positions on the board are voluntary andterms last for four years.

"I'm nuts about fairs to begin with, "says Bob Pyle, president of the Ada CountyFair, Board. Pyle volunteers about twoweeksofhis vacation before and during thefair and leads the board's monthlymeetings. This is his second year in theposition. If he wants to server,another fouryear term he will have to reapply, butthere's no guarantee he'll be chosen. Pylesaid the policy of the commissioners is thatno board member should serve more than'two terms, which is a total of eight years.

"There are a lot of states, California forexample, where fair board members are

. appointed by the governor forlife,"saidPyle. He commented that some boardshave asmany as 50 to ,60 members. "Youcan run into some really bad financial andpolitical things," hesaid, ,"I don't thinkpeople should be appointed for. life." Pyle,supports shorter terms' because he thinksfresh ideas come, with a board revitalizedwithnewmembers, . '

. Last year's audit, jaken' September 30,,sho'fs that the fairgrounds brought in$945,971>, for, 365 days, of operation. Ofthat 'figure, expeneses totalled $792,139 anddepreciationafuountedto $114,525. Profits

.of $39,312 are. reinve~tedfor,' capitalconstruction for the ne# year •.

,."We,'vealready, built into-the 'budget:salaries, .contracr •.'.services, '.repairs and

maintenance, rental services, utilities..advertising, insurance, printing; entertain-ment, premiums and telephone," said Pyle.

Pyle said that revenue comes from suchareas as fair, admissions, parking fees,booth rentals, the carnival, and interimactivities. He said they've recently startedcharging $1 per Little Leaguer to help makeup for watering and mowing costs.

No tax dollars go for fairgroundoperations, Pyle is pleased to report. "TheWestern Idaho Fair is self-supporting, weeither make it.or break it." He said if theyever got rained out; therefore making nomoney,it's possible thatthere.wouldn't bea fair., ,Pyle said they examine die profits anddecide if they need "new piece, ofequipment ... a phone system, or a horsebarn."

"One of the new projects the board hastaken on is anew master plan. Historically,there's been no plan for the grounds," heexplained. "It's very difficult to justcontinually put things in places," to findout a few years later you've put it in thewrong place.

Pyle said 'the master plan will 'listpriorities and timelines. A Californiaconsulting firm named Pod has beencontracted to do the study, which Pylehopes will be dorie by December or early'next year. ,. " ,

Pod works with, local engineering andarchitectural firms .. PYle said if there needs:

, to be an economic study or markeiing studyPod would hire local people. "It's really aconsortium of people, but there always hasto be a boss andPodcin this case, is theconsultant firm . who will put all thattogether ."

So what happens at the fairgrounds theother 357 days a year? , .

Recession RepressionWhile economists debate whether we're

.in a recession or a depression, many .Americans are suffering from both. It's

. well known that high unemployment bringsan increase in mental health problems, andnow researchers at Johns HopkinsUniversity have calculated exactly howjoblessness affects our society. For each'one percent risein unemployment, theysay, four percent more men and twopercent"more women are committed to statemental institutions. With the same onepercent unemployment rise, four percentmore people of both sexes commit suicide,nearly six percent more are murdered andfour percent more wind up in jail. BostonGlobe. AUl!lIst28.

Harris Peace PollSaying he's never encountered ap}1hing

quite like it, Pollster Louis Harris saysAmericans seem to have developed asudden and urgent hunger for peaee.. -Harris, writing in the Bulletin of theAtomic Scientist, says, "The results arestartling and simply cannot be ignored."Among his findings: 86 percent of thepopulation wants the United States and theSoviet Union to negotiate a nuclear armsreduction agreement. A similar majority isin favor of a mutual agreement not toproduce any new nuclear weapons. And,by a margin of 3-to-l, Americans believeevery country that has nuclear weaponsshould ban their production, storage oruse. Harris says the message for politiciansis clear: 56 percent of the voters say theywill vote against a candidate who favors anescalation of the arms race-even if theysupport the candidate on almost everyother issue. Says Bulletin Editor BernardFeld, "The implications of Harris'sfindings are stunning. What is a scarcelydiscernible tremor in 1982 could turn into apolitical earthquake by 1984."

WestmorelandKidnapped by UFO? .

In a case of life imitating the National•Enquirer, the Army has admitted launchingan alert after hearing that retired GeneralWilliam Westmoreland had been taken,away by a flying saucer. A Texas womantold police she was riding in a car with the 'former U.S. commander in vletnam whenit was stopped by aliens, who abductedhim. A spokesman at Fort Bliss, inEIPaso, says, "It was just an odd coincidencethat he could not be immediately reachedwhen this kidnap' report came to us." Thegeneral was eventually located, anall-points bulletin cancelIed, and the womanis under psychiatric observation. St. LouisPost-Dispatc~, August /9

Making the Casefor Arguing

You may not agree with this, but there'sa theorythat arguing is too good for you.KentState University professor DominickInfante says being argumentative is a signof psychological health-It creates a sensethat we have some~control over ourenvironment. In fact, Infante contendsthat argument isthe most basic form of ,human communication--but it is not to beconfused with verbal agression. The latter,he'says, is trying to put someonedown--Iowering his or her self-esteen--whilearguing is directed at resolving an issue.Boston Globe, August /3

Face Lift for the SUBby Terry Peoples

Four years" or planning and $250,000later, the Student Union snack. bar and'other remodeling is finished.. The' restructuring, of the food servicearea, now called the Union Street Care,' wasthe major work completed this summer.

SUB Assistant Director, Mike Henthorneexplained that the cooking and serviceequipment Was nearing 14 years old andneeded replacing or refurbishing. Thegrowing student population was also aproblem arid in order to put more peoplethrough the facility at a faster rate, theservice area hadto be reorganized.

"In ouropiriion, we could get moremileage out of the equipment by' redoing ,what was already there," Henthorne said.Only about ten percent of the equipment isnew in the food service .area 'according toHenthorne. .'The dining area also underwent afacelift, Surveystaken when the remodelingwas being planned, showed studentdissatisfaction with the color and atmos-phere of the room. So, Union staff plannedremodeling whichinCIuded' carpeting,chairs, a lighted stage for performers, newpaint and a rotating art' exhibit programwhich will feature student photographs orpaintings. Students interested 1n havingtheir work displayed should contact theSUB Assistant Director's office at38S-I667.

The main design feature of'the UnionStreet Cafe, separate entrances to thedining and kitchen area, enables the diningarea to remain open in the evening after thefood service area is closed.

....t's too great an amount of squarefootage in the building to be closedoff attwo or three in the afternoon simplybecause there's not enough volume to keep'the clientele serving at the counters,"Henthorne said.

The planners also had to find somethingto fill the vacant deli area. A travel agencywas decided upon after looking at SUB's

across 'the country 'for types of additionalrevenue generating businesses with lowinstallation costs and high dollar volume.

Global Travel will pay for almost all ofthe installation cost and should 'be fully"operational 'by October, aecording toHenthorne.

A travel agency was also- seen asvaluable, Henthorne explained, because ofthe extensive travel with out of statestudents, and academic and athleticdepartments.

The Bookstore has also seen additionalchanges this year. The clothing and gift',area was the last phase of remodeling thatbegan, section by section, three yearsago.

The clothing area needed to be changedover so customers could see the type ofshirts available. The shirts used to be

displayed in plastic bags which had to betom open for sizing, mid then rebagged byemployees if the shirt wasn't bought, saidBookstore manager Bill Barmes.

"It's more conducive to browsing and wedid it to try and increase sales," Barmessaid.

A new casnregisier system was alsobrought into the store. Now they are all thesame, more systematic and easier to train

. and shift employees on, according toBarmes.

The other addition to the SUB is theelectronic, message centers-the first ofwhich was installed 'over 'the UnionStation's bulletin board. The communica-tive units will provide timely informationwhich will relate to activities occuring in theSUB and on campus.

Labor PainsWith unemployment standing at 9.8

percent and no immediate relief in sight,Labor Day received a little morerecognition this year.

In New York on Monday, a record crowdof 400,000 attended the annual Labor DayParade. Chicagoans celebrated with aparade too ... it was the first one in over"thirty years.

Idaho AFL-CIO President Jim Kearnshas sensed a change in attitude towards the 'national day of worker recognition. , ,

"The meaning of Labor Day has gottenstronger, especially in the last two or threeyears," Kearns said. He cited the economic'times and the Polish refugees that havecome out of the solidarity movement as themain factors., "When times are good, people tend tojump in their campers and take a long tripand forget about Labor Day andtradition," Kearns explained. "The hardtimes bring people closer together. Theydon't travel as far."'· "

Marianne 'Olsen, secretary of theIdaho AFL-CIO also felt that the meaningof the holiday is different today.. .

"There .are so many people out ofwork,"she said. "It probably has adifferent meaning to a lot of people than it 'did in the past when jobs were plentifu\." '

But" ' for, the average person stillemployed, Labor Day is still probably notheld in much traditional esteem. Laborleaders would like to see that aspect change.

"In the old days, Labor Day was really abig day "- with picnics and parades," saidWarren Lundquist, president of the IdahoService Employees Union. He thought' thatLabor. Day has turned into just anotherpaid holiday and mentioned he would like.'to see people "really recognize that the

- workers of this country made this countrygreat." .

Kearns hoped that someday Labor Daywould be equated with Thanksgiving or

!Independimce Day,where the family sits .

by Terry Peoplesdown and talks about the heritage'. He saidthat businesses are more apt to lock up onThanksgiving than on Labor Day, but ifthey were treated the same, there wouTd bea bigger observance of the day.

Marianne Olsen thought that a changemust begin with the youth. She said theyounger people do not really realize where alot of employee benefits came from.

"They're under the impression that outof the goodness of their heart, the employergives you these things (pension programs,paid holidays, etc.)" Olsen said.' "Afterworking for 20 years, I know that's not

"true."Lundquist agreed, explaining that there

are many things that unions do that effectall workers. For example, the 'unionsbattled to get minimum wage, a battletoday's union workers don't have to wage,

The goal of labor throughout the eightiesis one of growth, stronger unity andpolitical activism.

With the increase in service related jobs;Lundquist has noted union growth. He alsosaid that the current pic15.,etingatD' Alessandro's in Boise is an example ofstronger unity.

"When you put a picket line up in frontof a non-union place, you'reshowingthat"Hey" we're a strong union.. you'reshowing strength," Lundquist said.

In the manufacturing industry, unionshave shown a decline of membership' andgrowth. .This, according to Kearns, .isbecause of the strong tax incentives giventhat. are luring corporations out .of thecountry, Because ofthis-politcal activism 'will be important for Labor, said Kearns.

"Par~ of the' problem we are goingthrough now with (labor) concessions andloss of jobs are through politics," Kearnsadded.'. Nationallaborexpert,AH. Rankin, also

lent his·commerits. "Thepr09IeDls are ,structural,thefre built in," he said in an·

interview on Good Morning America, onLabor Day.

Jim Kearns said that in Fiscal 1982, if thegovernment "took away the tax breaks andthe actual tax giveaways that exist tocorporations to encourage them to moveout of the country, (not counting taxrevenues from new jobs)' corporationswould, ,pump $62 billiofl into theeconomy. " t1, - • '. "That would come very"" very" c),Q,seto

chopping half out of Reagan's, deficit," headded. ''- .

The' political action will' be- aimed at"stopping up these gaps," Kearns said.

Despite the growing changes in themeaning of Labor Day, it can hardly becalled. a great, day for labor withunemployment nearing 10 percent. But the'most effective changewill not be seen in theholiday's tradition; rather, it will be presentamong' the working people.

"With the current economic situation, ifpeople are not put back to work,"Marianrie Olsen said, "organized ,labor isgoing to get stronger than ever. Theworking people are going to need the labor

, unions the way they did 50 years ago."

Why on Columbus Day, are the Pell checks late, the studentsbillsdue, waiting for Reagan? '. .

Why tttis Thanksgiving, will people wander. the streets,mentallydisabled, asking who is Reagan?

Why this Christmas will we write an editorial asking; why Reagan?The measure of our America has dipped pretty low. The flashy'

things, the interest rate crawl, the stock market boom, make good newsplay, .but what of the little things?

Off-ramp people, student grants, and spurious institutionalizationmakes us ask why? .

Why, from a country with so much, an agenda that gives so little,why the shifting of gears, why the little things?

Ada County Fair. "We changed the nameseverai years ago," Pyle said, "because it ismuch larger than most county fairs. It isone of the oldest fairs in the state 'of

Idaho." .". 'Pyle said fairs also .evolved from the

During the interim the fair is used for therental of buildings, Christmas shows, tradeshows, conventions. The' Boise Philhar-monic has used it for a Pops night. Then

, Little League football ... and Little Leaguebaseball begins. And we have dog showsand club shows, he continued.

Pyle thinks that 250 acres .is sufficientroom, but he doesn't think there areenough buildings to service the community."When the Expo Building was put up at thefairgrounds it was basically put up' as ashow," he said. "Architecturally, it wasdesigned to have additional things added onto it, which financially, we've never had themoney today."

Pyle said there are improvements thatcould be made to make the buildings moresuitable for community use. "An exampleof other buildings that could be built wouldbe an indoor horse arena, which thecommunity doesn't have much access to."

"There are things the master plan will tellus," he added.

"We've received a little money from thecounty, this year in the form ofrevenue-sharing for some .repairs for roadsthat were badly needing it," Pyle said. Part,of that money will also be used for an"energy study and some conservationthings in the Expo Building." Heating costsof the building have been as high as $60,000to $65,000 a year and Pyle said the rental ofthe building doesn't make up for utilitycosts. You can only charge people so muchbefore they .deeide they can't afford it, headded.

S'a.m. The Appy Show. For greenhorns,myself included, that means Appaloosa.

The morning' sun filtered through therising dust as the loudspeaker beltedinstructions to the owners or the horses onparade. ' Someone totally unfamiliar withthe routine might question who or what wasactually being judged. Tails wrapped,backs and necks blanketed, the Appaloosaswere shielded from the elements 'til theircues were up. Yet, the contestant's owners,spruced up in their country best, sportedentry numbers pinned to their backs.

Not knowing a lick about futurities orconfirmation, I watched the short littlejudge dressed in western-style graypolyester strut back and forth, gazingintently at each subject. A sense of dutypervaded his form. The competitors, linedup in front of the grandstand, were kept infirm tow by their owners.

I asked Rob and Christie Moore, ofCouncil, about the winning qualities oftheir blue ribbon foal, "Dominator." Thesoft-spoken man. described the attributeswith which their beautiful young foal wonfirst place. He said judges look for a goodhead, thin neck, small ears, and low

Feria·...·.·.·.·".·....·I.·.·.·.·.·.·...·.".·.V.·.·.·,:'Thousands of years ago, fairs were a

means of peaceful trade, a time whenwarring tribes would call a truce andexchange goods. Cheating and fighting wasforbidden upon pain of punishment bypagan gods.

The word "fair" comes from the Latinwordferia meaning holiday or feast day. Inancient times, fairs were connected withreligion, possibly to insure peace.

Around WOOB.C., great fairs were heldin the city of Mecca. Phoenecians arrivingin huge caravans would set them up inconjunction with religious festivals.

In Greece, fairs known for trade andathletics sold fine spices, rugs, andglassware, unlike some of the cheaptrinkets in modern fairs today. Alltransactions were overseen by priests incharge of trade and crimes committed atthe fair were more stiffly punished thanthey would have been otherwise.

The history of fairs is underscored withsimilar attitudes toward-law, crime, andhonesty. It seems that a mood ofcelebration naturally discouraged wrong-doing., At ancient Roman fairs the business, ofthe day was presided over by specialofficials that made sure deals were made inan orderly, honest way. An entire set ofbusiness laws sprung from the rules madefor the fair. Fair-goers were protected andno" one could be arrested for crimescommitted elsewhere.

Fairs were popular through the ages,though they all varied depending on theculture, customs and merchandise.

Flanders became an area of great fame muscling. Christie Moore added that a. and wealth because of fairs in Bruges and good' back and good hips are also

"If they're notshown and promoted and if people don'tknow you and the' type of thing -you'retrying to breed you won't get the same priceout of it." In 'other words, its goodadvertising. The categories for judging doesare:' best doe in each breed, grandchampion and reserve, junior championand reserve, best udder for each breed, bestdoe in the show, premier exhibitor, andpremier breeder.

Premiums amount to $14 for first place,, down to $6 for fifth place. "Each fair's

different. Here, at Boise," Jackie stated,"I show ponies, too, and they pay better'premiums for goats than they do forhorses." '

Booths and exhibits are the mainstay ofthe fair. .Inside and out, hawking food,ware, and politics, the patchwork of boothsoffers something for everyone.

Rented by the foot, the booths in thethree sections of the Expo Building line thewalls and crowd the interior.

Each booth is decorated with somecarefully thought out scheme to attractpassersby. .

Stacks of pamphlets, shopping bags,matches, balloons, magnets, rulers, aninfinite amount of gimmickery, overflowseach table.

Pitches are molded to product, whetherit be bathtubs, religion, or taffy. .

Marybeth Paul has been demonstratingher Osterizer exhibit for four years. 'Thecompany that she works for has shown atthe Western Idaho Fair for six years.

"If there are people here all day, like onSaturday, normally I would do thirteen ...fifteen demonstrations," she said.

Paul demonstrates Osterizer blenders 'all.over the country year around. At this fairsheworked from 10 in the morning 'til 11at night.

Her involvement stems from the fact thatshe likes to travel and sell things ... and she"thinks its a really excellent product."

During the demonstration Paul stressesthat "if people eat right they'll be a lothealthier, instead of eating al] the processedfood. It's just as easy to eat well as it is toeat junk."

When asked about how she handleshecklers, Paul said, "as 'gracefully aspossible." With such a wide range ofpeople in constant stream it's reasonable tothink harrassment is just part of the game.

She said the economy affects salesadversely.v 'but because people know thatthe fair is the only place they can buy themachine we still sell a lot.""Layaway enables them to order it after

Building, the Beer Garden, and the LeBoisgrandstand.

Some performers didn't need a stage:though. Werner Hirzel. was one suchperson.

Dressed in leiderhosen, bright red:-kneesocks, and a Bavarian hat, Werner marchesthrough the lanes of fairgoers playing aone-man band that would turn Dr. Seussgreen with envy.

A native of Zurich, Switzerland, thetanned, gnomish fellow plays his creationat state and county fairs in forty-onedifferent states.

He began building the instrument twelve.years ago as a party joke ... with threepieces. "At that time 1never dreamed I'dgo around with a crazy thing like this," heexplains with a thick Swiss accent.

"So, 1 got stuck with it and kept onadding. The more 1 added the more 1 gotstuck, and I'm still stuck:" ,

"1 started very small with three.pieces.Jttook a while to catch on, but when it caughton it really caught on ... they snowed meunder, 1 have to turn down job after job,"he said witha'shrug.-·'" ','" '.- "." ..J.

The Culligan display is grand illusion. Apowerful stream of water pours out .of

'a huge silver spigot suspended in midair.The water splashes down into a barrel to befunneled back up through a pipe hiddenfrom view in the center of the stream. Adefinate grabber.
