Show Xoalville Tabernacle part of ecology' The saving of culture, such as the Coalville Tabernacle, can be considered a part of the ecological movement, commented Chad Dobson, Associated Students of the University of Utah (ASUU) committee to save the Coalville Tabernacle chairman. Culture, like environment, said Dobson, must be protected from destruction. There is no price for our cultural treasures such as the Coalville Tabernacle and works of art and music produced by the masters. Some people feel, said Dobson, that the Coalville Tabernacle Taber-nacle is the best example of Mormon Mor-mon architecture in the state. The committee to save the Tabernacle Tab-ernacle will meet with the first Presidency of the LDS church, Friday. They will offer their ser vices to the church to find the best way of saving what is important impor-tant in the tabernacle. This coming Saturday a picnic will be held on the Coalville Tabernacle Tab-ernacle grounds at 1 1 a.m. The people attending the picnic will go over the tabernacle to leam the full understanding of the cultural past of Utah in the building. Dobson Dob-son encourages people who are interested in saving the building to drive up to Coalville with lunches and participate in the activies. The primary reason for saving the tabernacle, explained Dobson, was to preserve the cultural heritage heri-tage of the people here. The lack of cultural heritage can cause identity problems for people, he said. Many of the problems students stu-dents have today are due to the lack of any connections they ha with their past heritage. |
