For the most part, the primary goals for legislators of boosting education funding, giving raises to public employees and covering the growth in Medicaid have been accomplished, House Speaker Becky Lockhart, RProvo, said. Although the state had a $400 million surplus, the vast majority of that was essentially allocated at the beginning of the session because of those priorities. Leaders also committed to reducing the state's debt load and provide ongoing funding for some programs that current- 9 THE SIGNPOST Disorganization is marring Santorum By Steve Peoples writer I Associated Press WILLOUGHBY, Ohio (AP) - Almost as soon as Rick Santorum's advisers outlined a new strategy for staying on message after he lost to Mitt Romney in Michigan, it was abandoned, a victim of the disorganization that's marked his campaign and raised questions about his ability to compete against Romney over the long haul. "They could be much better on discipline," said Republican operative Michael Dennehy, a top aide for Sen. John McCain four years ago. "They've been very open about their change in messaging after Tuesday's election. It lasted about 12 hours." Romney is almost painfully consistent when pounding his message about jobs and the economy. The Santorum campaign says the former Penn- and family, and doing it well, and doing it with a big heart and commitment." The change in message was intended in part to contrast Santorum with Romney, who grew up with wealth and privilege as the son of a governor and auto executive. Widely covered by the media, Santorum's remarks that night also helped to humanize a man who has drawn fire for questioning the role of women in the workforce and the military. Polling suggests that Santorum's loss was caused, in part, because Romney fared better with female voters. "He is always going to have to struggle by responding to misperceptions that are out there," top adviser John Brabender told a handful of reporters after the Michigan loss became official. "The way that you solve that sometimes is to let people into your life and see a picture of you that you don't always share." It was a strategy widely viewed as smart - and it didn't last. As Santorum crisscrossed the country to rally voters ahead of Super Tuesday, talk of his mother seemed forgotten. He offered passing references to his coal-mining grandfather, as he has for months. Instead of a new emphasis on his personal background, he seized upon Romney's apparent misstep on contraception policy, delivered sometimes rambling speeches about health savings accounts with college students in Nashville, Tenn., and defended Ronald Reagan's fight against evil during an appearance at a church in Spokane, Wash. At the American Croatian Lodge in Willoughby, Ohio, Santorum said it was impossible to talk about the economy without talking about the importance of two-parent families. "Go to the areas of Cleveland where you don't see any dads. What do you see? Do you see freedom? Do you see opportunity?" he asked during his Friday night appear- ance. "Do you see jobs? Do you see police? Do you see government? Everywhere. That's the reality." Santorum treats his seatof-the-pants campaign style like a badge of honor, often mentioning that he doesn't employ a campaign pollster. Aides marvel at his ability to deliver lengthy speeches and even major addresses while drawing only from a handwritten list of basic points, if any notes at all. Even he acknowledges his speaking style has its pitfalls, citing as an example his dismissal of President Barack Obama as "a snob" for promoting higher education. "I used the term 'snob.' You know, it was a - it was a strong term, probably not the smartest thing," Santorum said. "But you know what? I don't give prepared talking point speeches written by other people. I got a little passionate there and I used a harsher word than I normally would." Republican operative Todd Harris says it's important - and increasing difficulty - for a campaign to control its message with the rise of super PACs, outside groups, tabloid political journalism and instant news cycles "About the only thing you can control is what comes out of the candidate's mouth," Harris says. "Except when you can't." Rival Romney's campaign has seized on another consequence of Santorum's disorganization: his delegate problem. The former Pennsylvania senator didn't file paperwork properly and is eligible for only 45 of Ohio's 63 delegates up for grabs Tuesday, according to the Romney campaign. Santorum also isn't on the ballot in Virginia and won't be eligible for all of the delegates in several other states that vote after Super Tuesday. "In a basic organizational test needed to combat Obama, he's flunked," Romney campaign general counsel Ben Ginsberg said on a Saturday conference call. ly have to make new requests every year. Public education has received $40 million to cover the costs of an expected 12,000 new students, and teachers will receive a raise of more than 1 percent. Lockhart said that there were a lot more requests this year than there was money, which is typical. But overall, she was pleased with the final budget agreement. "Everyone is going to be disappointed for one reason or another," Lockhart said. "But people can be proud of what we did this year." There are still about a dozen issues left to be resolved between House and Senate leaders and Gov. Gary Herbert. But those are all requests that are relatively small, such as a $1.8 million request for state-run liquor stores. Without that money, the state may have to revisit the unpopular possibility of closing some stores, said Herbert's spokeswoman Ally Isom. Last year, significant public outcry forced the state liquor agency to back away from a plan to shut down about a dozen stores. Isom said there is likely enough money to keep all of the state liquor stores open until next year, but the money is needed to provide longterm stability. Overall, however, she said that Herbert is "pleased to see that the priority has been on education." Democratic leaders supported the final budget proposal, although they said there were areas of concern. "There are some critical needs in our community, but this budget has come a long way," Senate Minority Leader Ross Romero, D-Salt Lake City, said. sylvania senator is the lone candidate in the Republican race who has the courage to talk about all the issues - from female contraception to Iran and everything in between. That's where Santorum stumbled in Michigan. His team blamed unflattering media coverage but conceded that their candidate suffered from the perception that he was off message when he defended polarizing comments questioning the value of higher education, the separation of church and state, and even Satan's influence on America. Eventually Santorum lost the state to Romney by just 3 percentage points. A new approach guided Santorum's primary night speech. In a hotel ballroom in Grand Rapids, Mich., he began talking more about his working-class background, particularly the women who have influenced him. He explained how his mother, a former nurse who worked throughout his childhood, "taught me a lot of things about how to balance work and locally on April 6 and 8. series, which is also hosted by O'Riley, is more of a backstage look at the making of the radio program, and delves deeper into the lives, work ethics and passions of the teenage musicians. From the Top at Carnegie Hall, a television program based on the radio series, has since been developed. The Emmy-nominated PBS adapted a southern dialect into the original plot line, and the show was created. They also added live music and dancing from the period in between and passed out popcorn and their own medicine brand, named Draught of Dionysus, to the audience before and after the shows. "That's kind of what we're playing with," Kokai said. "We're imagining that the actors are coming to town with the goal of selling you medicine, and they're doing Tartuffe as a way of bringing you in to sell them to you." When rich gentleman Orgon takes in Tartuffe, a slick swindler wearing the mask of a pious beggar, he's blinded by the man's charms while his entire family is shaken by Tartuffe's scheming ways. Orgon promises to wed his daughter Marianne to Tartuffe, even after she's al- ready been promised to the youthValere, in order for divine blessings to fall on his household. Quite the opposite happens as Tartuffe makes advances toward Orgon's wife behind his back and plans to blackmail him out of his house. "It's about getting swindled and false appearances, I guess, and that's something we've all dealt with in our lives," said B.J. Whimpey, a WSU theater major senior who plays Tartuffe. "Someone acts one way to your face, but behind your back, they're completely different, and that's basically what Tartuffe is." Whimpey said he enjoyed working with Kokai and her new vision for Tartuffe. He said she let the cast create its own humorous details naturally as it coincided with her overall vision. "Every single person brings something different to this show, and every single person is dedicated," Whimpey said. "Every time everyone's on stage, I'm just wowed by the talent in our department and how people change and grow and become better. I'm proud of every single person that's cast, and I'd love to work with them 100 times again." The show also featured student talent behind the scenes, including another WSU senior, Sean Bishop, who starred in last semester's big show, Xanadu, but acted this semester as Tartuffe's main costume designer. "I was going to graduate last year, and doing Tartuffe was one of the things that kept me here," Bishop said. Bishop stayed for a fifth year after being offered the job of costuming the show. He said it was challenging keeping to the director's vision and also finding a way of incorporating himself and everyone else into the collaborative process. "It's been good for me to do this and stay, because it's given me confidence to know that I can do this," Bishop said. Bishop said this was the first show with a specific period he has attempted to costume. "I've been looking at some opportunities, and I feel a year ago I probably wouldn't have been ready to do that," Bishop said, "but I look at some shows that are coming up in the next year that will be out in the community, and I feel confident enough to apply for those jobs." Maria Leon, a WSU student who attended the show opening, said she enjoyed the southern adaptation to the classic French humor. "I've read (the play), so I thought it was a really cool interpretation since it's (originally) in French," she said. "It's kind of relatable to see people who are deceived pretty easily, and it opens people's eyes to con artists and televangelists and whatnot." The show will be running March 2, 3, 6-10, at 7:30 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on March 10. Tickets are $11, or $8 for WSU students at all shows. They are available in advance at Dee Events Center Tickets, 1-800-WSUTIKS, Weberstatetickets.com or at the door beginning one hour before the performance. "Right now we're in an election period where people are talking about who they are and what they stand for, but we are very cynical about our politicians," Kokai said. "So the idea that there are people out there like Tartuffe who promise us great things, but they might be trying to fool us - that's something we're concerned about and can relate to." R adio continued from page 4 The broadcast taping will air nationally during the week of April 2, 2012, Comment on this story at wsusignpost.corn. Tartuffe continued from page 4 professor at WSU this year, was unexpectedly given the play to direct from another professor. She took the show, a classic French comedy written by Moliere, and gave it a southern twist by turning it into a post-Civil War medicine show "What you would have is people would pull into town in a wagon, and they'd do all kinds of different entertainment and singing and dancing," Kokai said. "They would do a free show and try to sell people patent medicines." The idea sprung from a joke about setting the Tartuffe show in a wagon. When the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival went on several weeks ago on campus, it had crossed into the cast's rehearsal schedule, making them unable to have a large set. After Kokai had aligned the theme of a medicine show with the Tartuffe characters, she Comment on this story at wsusignpost.corn. |
