Issue No. 1 by Bill Godwin If you go just a couple of blocks southwest of Westminster College you will find yourself in the heart of Sugarhouse. Although Sugar-hous- e appears to be a separate city, with its concrete entrance signs, blue and yellow Sugarhouse banners and itsown little downtown" type business district, it is actually the extreme southeast section of Salt Lake City. The area owes its name to the western hemispheres first sugar factory built here. The factory building remained in use until it was torn down in 1928. The Plaza Monument, sculpted by Millard F. Malin, was erected in 1934 on the old sugar factory site at 11th East and 21st South. Sugarhouse is known for other firsts in Utah and thelntermountain West including the first shopping mall, first paper mill, and first cocoonery and mulberry tree farm. The approximate boundaries of the Sugar-hous- e area are (west to east) 5th East to Parleys Way and (north to south) 17th South to somewhere around 33rd South. The actual southern boundary is a hopeless maze that looks as thought it was drawn by Mr. Gerry Mander himself. For example, at one point the boundary turns south on 1 1th east for a couple of blocks, neatly surround the Brickyard business area and then proceeds back north again up the other side of 11th East, sort of forming the Brickyard Peninsula. The Sugarhouse area has more than its fair share of restaurants to keep the college student well fed. In addition to the standards such as McDonalds, Wendys, Kentucky Fried Chicken and the Sizzler there are three for $1.09 corn dogs and the shake of the month at M ill ies Burgers, and popcorn just about any way you want it at p Popcorn. You can eat Scandinavian at Scandia Pastries, soup at The Soup Kitchen, steaks at The Shed, Chinese at Kuong Jou, Mexican at Don Antonios, Italian atTwoGuys from Italy or you can dine American at the Dine American Restaurant breakfast served anytime. Whether you like it cheap, delivered, or piled higher and deeper there is a pizza for you in Sugarhouse. So you can follow your,nose or your wallet, whichever you usually consult in these matters, to Dominos, Free Wheelers. Godfathers, or Peter Piper Pizza. While many of the neighborhoods appear to Nu-Cris- i be composed mostly of single-famil- y homes you will find upon closer inspection that many homes in the area have basement apartments or have been divided into duplexes. This rampant free enterprise and loose zone ordinance interpretation may be an urban planners nightmare but it is a boon to college students looking for relatively digs. low-co- off-camp- st Of course, if you do rent an apartment youll probably have to do your washing at a laundromat. There are a couple in the area, each offering d ifferent d i versions nearby so you dont have to watch your clothes spin for two hours. At the Westinghouse Laundromat you can while away the wash time by cathcing up on what the s are up to at Comics Utah, browse through the antique shops just up the street, or see if you can find any of your required reading at the Central Book Exchange. super-human- ' - " While dunking your duds at the Klean Machine Laundromat you can check the Anglers Inn for those essential fishing supplies. hunt for killer deals on neat stuff at Deseret Industries and the Bargain Box thrift stores or check out some serious i components at Audition Music Reproduction hi-f- Systems. After a hard week at school and at the laundromat you may want to get your s out at one of the Sugarhouse dance emporiums. The Bay is an meeting place, which means everyone is a little more desperate and the girls have to watch out for the guys that always carry a diamond chip ring in their pockets just in case. The Palladium is more They play new music and bounce it off walls painted with flying dogs and nuclear shadow ya-ya- adult-oriente- d youth-oriente- people. Both of these places are dry so if you have to build your courage one sip at a time in order to shake it out there on the dance floor youl have to do it before you go in. Whether you are looking for skis, a piano, brass monkies, tennis togs, or a tan you can find them all less than a mile away from West1 minster. Even if you want to find out whether your sleeping bag is stuffed with prime goose down or old chicken feathers you can have it checked out at the International Down and Feather Testing Laboratory. Seriously. We have it all. - Artists Display WorRs At Sundance The Salt Lake Art Center and the Sundance Institute announce plans to collaborate on the third annual Utah Artists at Sundance exhibit to be open free to the public at Sundance on Saturday, September 28 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. In making the announcement, Salt Lake Art Center director Richard Johnston, says that this years exhibit will feature twelve Utah artists works in the two-da- y event Participating artists, selected jointly by the Institute and the Art Center from a long list of gifted individuals are, Wulf Barsch, Steven Case, Jenni Christensen, Paul Davis, Jutta Gellerson, Robert Granger, Brent Haddock, Wayne Kimball, Ed Maryon, Rose Ann Peterson, Tony Smith and Douglas Snow.

The Art Center and the Institute have planned for not only the open show of recent works by Utah artists which will be at Sundance, but also the production, exhibition and sale of a unique portfolio of prints. Each artist has been asked to respond to the environment of the Sundance area by creating an image for the portfolio. Steve Case, a printmaker recently returned from studies at the Pratt Institute and professional fine arts printing experience in New York City, will be the collaborative printer for the project Day Christensen will make the portfolio boxes and print the portfolio interior documentation pages. Jutta Gellerson has designed the portfolio and Lila Abersold will curate the exhibition at Sundance. An introduction to the suite will be by Robert Redford. There will be twenty portfolios produced for the public. After completion of printing all plates will be effaced. The value of each image is enhanced by the limited size of the editions. The portfolio is also a vehicle for the Sundance Institute and the Salt Lake Art Center to provide for ownership of limited works on paper which will be of increasing value. Proceeds from the sale of the portfolio will go to benefit the Salt Lake Art Center School. Judith Christensen, a local gallery owner, will be contacting individuals andor corporations prior to the opening of the exhibit to describe the benefits of owning such works by Utah artists.
