Show Observatory shows Einstein film CEDAR CITY 'Albert Einstein: the Education of a Genius," a film narrated by actor Peter Ustinov, is the January program at the Southern Utah State College Ashcroft Observatory. Showtime is at 7 and 8:30 p.m. Fridays, Jan. 1-29. 1-29. Programs are free to the public. In addition to the film, a display about Einstein and his works will be exhibited at the observatory during the month, according to Steven H. Heath, chairman of the SUSC Department of Physical Sciences. "Einstein was slow to speak, he was a poor student and his teachers said he'd never amount to anything," Heath said. "Yet he became one of the greatest theoretical J llilli i (fi 1) physicists of all time." The final lines of the film best summarize the message it contains, Heath said: : "The secret of Einstein's genius may well lie in his simplicity, his childlike curiosity, his complete concentration, tiis playful visual imagination and his openness to the symmetry of nature." "January's program will be a very enjoyable educational experience," Heath said. "Many thought-provoking ideas can be derived from the film about the nature of Einstein's education and its implications for modern educational practices, about psychology of creativity and about the role of language in thinking." Special group showings of the film can be arranged by calling the SUSC Department of Physical Sciences, 586-7900. 586-7900. Special showing on nights other than Fridays are $7.50 per group. Observations through the observatory telescope will be made after the film if skies are clear. Cedar City architect John S.
