F Chatterley Campus security is offering a $100 reward for information leading to the location of three stuffed and mounted animals stolen from the Science Center in February. The animals, a bald eagle, a redtail hawk, and wild pig, were used in the building for classroom instruction. The person who stole the bald eagle probably doesnt realize the seriousness of just having the eagle in his or her possession, let alone stealing it, said Richard Dotson, associate professor of science. ?at Cranston to speak at Convocation Pat Cranston, a senior professor r the University of Washingtons ,'ommunications, will address the Vomen in the Media as part of Convocations series April 11. ,The speech is slated for 11 a.m. of broadcasting School of subject the SUSC in the Auditorium.

Radio-Televisio- Opera a trampolineUtah than the usual Convocations lecture, Rather soprano JoAnn Ottley presented a concert in Thorley Recital Hall for students Thursday. The audience, which filled Thorley to standing room only capacity, remained quiet through out the concert presentation. A recipient of Utah Artist of the Year, Ottley began her musical career at a very young age as a pianist before branching into vocal music, j Most of Ottleys musical training dealt mostly with the mechanics rather than the emotions opera sometimes demands, she said. Ottley said she is very flattered when a member of the audience gives her a compliment on her range of emotion in her voice and mannerisms. Ottley noted that she has no problems with her vocal range. It is like a trampoline, she said. I tell people that you use the same muscles and control no matter what range you want. It is just a matter of how high you decide to bounce off that same base. My neighbor said that she could always tell when I was hurt, because the leaves would fall of the trees, she added. Even as a small child I could hit the high notes. ! i Dotson said having a bald eagle in ones possession is punishable by a $15,000 fine. In addition, a five-yeprison term can be levied for stealing the eagle, Dotson said. I would like the eagle back and if the person who has the eagle could make arrangements through a third party to give the eagle back to the department, it would be much appreciated, Dotson said. Dotson received permission from the federal government in 1973 to use the eagle for classroom study at SUSC. Tourism may take slack left by iron mine closures Officials hope theatre will boost tax revenues (continued from page 1) according to a report issued in January. Expanded, it and the other projected cultural programs could generate $17 million annually, according to the report. City officials say they have tried to lure small industries to the region to help make up for lost iron mining tax revenue, but have had little success. The key to this thing is the principle of mass, Richards said. That is, you have to have enough of these kinds of things... in order to attract the volume of people that are projected to come to the area. He said building a single theatre will go a long way to accomplish that goal, but more will be needed. That is why officials intend to lobby for the outdoor theatre. While the funding request came officially from the city, and the college will not directly receive any of the appropriated money, SUSC officials have been supporting the project since its conception, Richards said. Opera singer JoAnn Ottley, who has been awarded Utah Artist of the year, sang here Thursday. Anything we can do to bolster the area not only helps the area, but it helps our students, Richards said. It (adds to) the quality of collegiate life we can offer, and we think thats a very important thing. He said there is a significant relationship between the college and the community and anything we can do to advance that, we want to do. Officials often refer to cultural centers such as Sante Fe, N.M., and Ashland, Ore., when discussing the Cedar City proposal. However, Richards said Cedar City carries more advantages for acheiving that goal (of being a cultural center) than either Sante Fe or Ashland. Neither of the latter two are situated on major interstate highways, he said, and neither are adjacent to popular national parks and recreation areas. Cedar City is all of those things, he said. Now that the money has been allocated, officials hope to move with all deliberate speed toward the completion of the project. Even so, further discussions are expected between city officials and college administrators to decide the best way to acheive the citys goals with the help of the college. Our hope is that it (the theatre) can come on line for the 1986 festival season, Richards said. |
