On both counts the cause of our becoming famous around the world has been the sheep! The sheep with their wild Afro hairdoos! The sheep, from 8800 B.C. in Iraq to the Wend-ovDesert, finally achieved a place in history! Therefore I proclaim the sheep as the official state animal. Our profound state legislators have already passed a bill making the Wyoming Elk can our official state animal you imagine that? It makes sense . . . when you consider that our official state fish is the Idaho rainbow trout. And our official state tree is the Montana spruce! The official bird is the California gull. Is there nothing indiginous to Utah that we can er FEB. 25 ientHouse In select for an official state thing? Yes, Utah does not have an official state insect. Therefore be it proclaimed . . . the cricket be selected. Consider its role in the history of this great state . . . the lowly cricket unsuccess- fully fought off the onslaught of carniverous seagulls . . . every one of them a veritable Custer. Now to achieve the honor due the cricket I have formed 'the Lucas Lobby. We dedicate ourselves as one strong lobby to push through needed legislation to pay proper homage to the cricket. Think of it. Now the vociferous majority (as opposed to the silent minority) can be heard. Membership in this very exclusive group is limited only to the warm and sincere. If you want a piece of the action . Print write to Lucas Utahns . KALL . . Lobby Radio, Salt Lake City. We are going to activate Capitol Hill in other endeavors too. We propose to make the Harlem Hotel an historic sight . . . and restore it to its past glory. We also propose to preserve the entire area of West Second South Street as a Utah park and recreation area. We need another wilderness area . . . and nothing is wilder than West Second South. We want to convert the clock in the tower of the Salt Lake City and County Building into an official Spiro Agnew watch . ... .po more We pusillanimous pussy-footiwill be heard, not herded. We top off this column with a newspaper first . . : the only time a newsman cared to interview a sheep and ask him how he felt about it . . .

ORCHARD NOT FOR RADICALS The University of Utah Shakespeare Players gave a warm, professional performance of Chekhovs The Cherry Orchard this month. In fact, the only disturbing element in the evening was the inexplicably brief applause. Although this may not be typical of Salt Lake audiences, I wondered if someone had yelled "fire, and I was the only one who hadnt heard. Surely they deserved the courtesy of a single curtaiii call. The Cherry Orchard is pot the kind of play your fifed campus radicals would ad&n. Chekhovs characters come across as real people, not stamped ideals or abstract concepts or banners for causes. In fact, you actually believed for the moment you were caught up in their parlor and garden world that the real people were more important than their causes. Even the impulsive socialist Petya, who alone could be accused of precious oratory, becomes a shy boy . under the motherly harangue of Madame Ranevskeya. And yet how perfectly they call to mind their universal counterparts . . . poor Firs most of all. There is always that man, those many men, who get caught between the old world and the new . . . alone, frightened, dying. Is it so strange, too, that it is the merchant, Yermolai Alexeyevich, who is beginning to build with his hands the new world that Petya has built in his head. Do they see this in their final hesitant embrace? So we come to the causes g not through rhetoric and but through the incessant pressing forward of each life. We do well, to look again and again at Chekhovs humor, for it is a great proof that we are neither animal nor symbol but merely and magnificently human. . . flag-wavin- C DIAL 322-696- 1 FOR TICKETS, INFORMATION March 10th 1 .
