Show Page 8 nnnKitro By Hank Louis We hadn't yet been weaned from food-colored spun sugar the last time we were treated to the daring young menwomenbeasts and death-defying death-defying acts of the Ringling Brothers and Bar-num Bar-num & Bailey Circus. In the way that as Seniors in high school you don't seem as physically big as the Seniors did when you were Freshmen (and substituting small for big, vice-versa), it was better then. At least in this sense, knowledge is destructive. Back then, in the shape that your parents' friends at cocktail parties remember you, you didn't look for, couldn't be concerned with the strings and giant rubber bands attached. at-tached. Tigers were meaner and , more dangerous than the bully down the block. Elephants were bigger than center city buildings. You wished you could run away and be a clown (some of us, thank God, still do). And you didn't even notice all the symbols of sex, which is perhaps the only consolation for growing up: you can produce a little kid and through him relive your own circus-like childhood. This past weekend we treated the kid-big of us, admission for six and under is free-to his first fir-st Greatest Show On Earth, and, of course, he watched it through thoroughly sugared senses (things don't change, we do). I want this, I want this, I want this, past the souvenir and junk food stands, grapping like a klepto. Put it back, you don't need it, put it back, you don't need it. I need it. I need it. It was all we needed; as it was he shot us with sparks through his space gun throughout the entire Greatest Show. He squealed with delight at the tigers and leopards bounding around the barred center ring-had Gunther been eaten alive he.wouldn't have, particularly par-ticularly cared. He giggled at ridiculous clowns, at the midget bea ting-up good-sized, white face, red nose funny eyes. At the cowboy on stilts he said, "Big one?" He sat like a statue with a stiff neck as the Colombian jerked, twice near tumbling, tum-bling, on the high wire. He pointed out monkeys and dogs. He grew bored as the beauties dangled modern dance style from ropes in quite scanty, but amply sequined clothing. He giggled again at ridiculous clowns. When it was all over he said, "I want more again. I want more again. I want more again." "Yeah, we know," we said, and then took him to an R rated movie, a tremendous movie through which he snored and snored. Even without his blankie.

Woman In KAC Show Local artist Kathy Morris is the sole Park City woman to be exhibited in the Kimball Kim-ball Art Center's "Women in Art" show which opened Sunday, Sept. 25. Morris, who moved to Park City two and a half years ago from Hermosa Beach, California, says she entered her works "as a fluke" and was overwhelmed over-whelmed to have been selected selec-ted from more than 750 entries en-tries submitted by 150 Utah women. On display at the art center cen-ter is a tie-dye tapestry and a black and white photograph of a wildflower. Morris, the mother of four, created her tie-dye while enrolled in a textile course last November at the University of Utah. The three-yard work began as a piece of off-white muslin and went through a five color progression from ye llow, orange, red and blue to purple. Before each dyeing the tapestry was folded to form a three inch by two inch square. (The entire en-tire process involves folding, dyeing, rinsing, washing, drying and refolding with each color progression. ) Three of the four "Women in Art" jurors (Bea Wein-stein, Wein-stein, Gale Delia Piana, Ann Day and Anna Bliss) wanted to purchase the tapestry prior to judging. The piece has been previously exhibited at the Whitmore Library in South Salt Lake City. "Although I had a lot of fun doing the tie-dye," commented commen-ted Morris, "I'm really into my photography more." She began photographing after enrolling in a Kimball Art Center photography class last fall. She shot, developed and printed the photo on display. Women Art '77 The "Women in Art" exhibit is being held in conjunction con-junction with the University of Utah's Women's Resource Center's annual Women's Conference. "A lot of Utah universities including BYU and Utah State have conferences dealing with the 'issues', so this year we decided to focus on women in art," commented commen-ted conference co-chairperson co-chairperson Judy Stokes. The conference begins Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Student Union and features lectures and performances per-formances throughout the week in theatre, dance, music, literature and visual art (Thursday, Oct. 6, 8:30 a.m.-7:30p.m.; Friday, Oct., 7, 8:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m.; Sat. Oct. 8,8:30a.m.-2:30p.m.) "We want to emphasize that our conference this year is not just for artists but for all men, women and children," said Stokes.

One of the major additions is the new 3,200 foot Snowhead lift, a double chair servicing the lower portion of the mountain.

This addition ad-dition will increase skier capacity by 1200 skiers per hour bringing the total mountain capacity to 5500 skiers per hour. Other major additions to Park West are the introduction introduc-tion of snow making equipment equip-ment and night skiing. The snow making equipment will service 25 acres of terrain and up to 2,000 skiers per hour. Ron Frasco, executive vice president of Park West, stated that snow making equipment was capable of producing four feet of base and would enable Park West to open some of their lower slopes by November 1, with or without the cooperation of Mother Nature. Night skiing is slated to open December 1. A new lodge facility will also open at Park West this winter. The four-story structure struc-ture will feature Sunset Sports rental and ski shop and a barrestaurant that looks out over the slopes.

The new lodge will also house the Park West administration offices and a public bath and locker room facility.
