Pre-equinoctial, Pre-equinoctial, night hasn't yet caught day, it was the late Groucho's secret word for the past week, embedded in the fiber of dripping sixty-forties, the squeaky clean song of the windshield wipers. It is the cause of afternoon Canasta, no doubt, and the return to reading. And now, just basically lamenting human subservience to Mother a favorite topic for the entire screwy year I've said the secret word. I've said it. I get a kiss on the It must have been just yesterday when everything and body was sticky, dripping and taking showers every hour; when walking around were cut-off blue jeans and the now-fashionable now-fashionable P.E. shorts (even the girls wear velour, jersey and other-synthetic-on models) and flip-flop Jap-slap zorry thongs ; when the un-overweight un-overweight sported crop, bikini tops and skin jerseys ; when you wouldn't take your boots off in front of your worst enemy. It must have been just yesterday when we all bought a pack of shiny white Titleists, now all sunken in some water hazard or being resold for a buck at the pro shop; when we were tying the fly that would hook Old Grandad deep and hidden down in that secret pool, and all we got is drunk on his namesake, his booze. And it must have been just yesterday when we were worried about whether we'd be seeing mirages on Labor Day ; when we all started bathing with friends, growing beards and fertilizing the weeds with number one the joke is on someone, it always has to be.

It was just yesterday I thought about patching the roof, then thought better of it-why should I, there's not a cloud in the sky? Last week it rained harder inside than out. My opuses are now all oystered and intelligibly streaked. New Wasatch mountain ridges are forming beneath my feet. A topographer wouldn't dare try a relief map of my desk. And I should have used galvanized nails everywhere. $ lr r &i .

These prints portray the Noh Drama, Dra-ma, a repertoire of some 1000 religious dance ceremony plays originally performed only for the feudal land barons or "shogun" governors gover-nors in Japan. Some 250 of these plays are still performed perfor-med in Japan today. These 115 wood block prints created by Japanese artist Tsukioga Kogip in J9Q0, were first' published 'in 'Tofeyo'ana , were not for sale. Tsukioga Kogio (1869-1927) was the only artist to ever portray the Noh Dramas. The set of Noh Drama prints on exhibit at the Kimball Art Center is extremely ex-tremely rare as it is one of the few complete sets of original prints in existence today. This particular set of prints is on loan from an anonymous private collection collec-tion in Chicago; the remaining remain-ing sets are in museums around the world. Each color on the prints required an individual wood block with many needed to SILVER KINGl CLUB Members Only I Jl Live EmteirtaMmeEt MUSIC STARTS at 9:30 MO COVER before 9:30 complete each of the colorful prints. However, nearly one-third one-third of the original wood blocks from which these prints were struck, were destroyed in the Tokyo earthquake of 1923. Thus, the entire set can not be duplicated dupli-cated in its entirety again. The Noh Drama, an art form unique to Japan, might best be described as a poem performed by a masked dancer who sings and declaims dec-laims the verse. Originally, the 13th century field dramas dram-as were rustic' exhibitions that included acrobatics' and jugglery. Later, these pudd- hist influenced dramas in- eluded dance,, mime, music tiim&$MWH Wormed Wor-med only by men playing all roles. With -only' a! few supporting players, a chorus of eight i or ten, men, and accompaniment,1 from one flutist and three drummers, attention "focused upon the mood being projected by; the main character. As the intention of the Noh Drama is to produce a single emotion or atmosphere, there is complete concentration concentra-tion upon a single, masked character wearing a lavish, detailed costume. Rather than developing a plot as in European theatre, the Noh scripts usually build up and establish a single ' emotion such as love, jealously,, or revenge. The public is invited to a free reception, Sunday, September Sep-tember 4, from 3-5 p.m. when the Kimball Art Center will hold the opening of ,this exhibit. There is no admission admis-sion charge. The Kimball Art Center is open Sunday, noon-6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., and closed Monday. However, the art center will be open on Labor Day, Monday, September 5th, from noon-6 p.m. for visitors. by Dr. Ford Mc Bride Timpanogos Community Mental Health Center If you enjoy a year in which your wife recovers from a serious illness, your business does unexpectedly well, you move into your dream house, your youngest son goes away to college, and your only daughter marries a successful physician, your chances of getting sick are eight out of ten. Most people know that disaster and sorrow can lead to illness but the idea that achievement and happiness can also cause illness may surprise you. Dr. Thomas Holmes, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Washington found that if enough things happen within a two year period that requires you to cope, you can expect to get sick. Sickness can include not only disease and bodily malfunction but also emotional disorders and accidental ac-cidental injury. Dr. Holmes also emphasized em-phasized that it doesn't matter mat-ter whether you are happy or sad about a particular change or whether the change is socially desirable or undesirable. It can make you sick. Obviously, situations arise that we have no control over. For example, death, loss of job, accidents, etc... Dr. Holmes suggested that if a series of major changes occur, oc-cur, one should take things sowentf stfclTwiflf an' 'established routine. Taking a vacation or getting away from it all may not be the best thing to do. Whether we like it or not, life involves change. We grow up, marry, have children, shift social roles, undergo operations, face death of parents, and adjust to numerous other major and minor changes as we go through life. The value of moderate change should not be underestimated. un-derestimated. Regular change stimulates challenge and if change is discouraged it stifles interest and interfere inter-fere with motivation. A life void of change would be boring and nonproductive. non-productive. But there is a limit to the amount of change we can tolerate.
