This is possibly the first time Happy Days has been performed in Utah, she said. The two-a- ct play follows Winnies search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless universe. She is joined on stage by only one other character during the play. Phil Lindhardt, an MBA student, plays Willie, her infrequently seen but continually addressed companion. Smith had her first audition 10 years ago in a musical at the University of Utah. They told me I cant sing, I cant act and that I should give up acting, she said. By ultisticking to her desire to perform she mately earned the invitation to star in the Happy Days production.

The quality of work has been really, high and the response has been wonderful, said Kuzminski. Kuzminski also said there will be at least two exhibits planned for next year, one a student exhibit and the other is yet to be decided on by the Arts Advisory McCulloch. McCulloch said, Happy Days is an absurdist drama in which Beckett explores the meaning of existence and the tenuous relationships which bind one person to another and all people to the universe. show, Smith is pretty much aone-womshe said.

She and the students donate a portion of the money generated by the sale to local community service organizations. Kuzminski said the sale is primarily her effort to involve Westminster students in the community. So many students spend there time here focused on their own lives. It is important that they become aware of whats going on in the community, said Kuzminski. Outside the pottery sale, there is not much going on at Westminster with community service other than what Kathy Moran is doing with the Into The Streets project, she said. This year, the proceeds will go to the St Vincent de Paul Center and the Utah AIDS Foundation. The St. Vincent de Paul Center offers a variety of services to low- - income and homeless people, including serving between 200 and 800 lunches to people on a daily basis. The money will go to expenses and maintenance of the operation according to Ann Bero of St Vincents. Since its beginning, the sale has been a success and has grown each year. Through word of mouth and what little promotion Kuzminski does the event has grown and usually sells out. We will sell all the pieces we have for the sale, she said. The idea is to make it as affordable as possible for people in the Westminster community, Kuzminski said. Most of the sales go to students, staff and alumni. Students who donate their work feel they are making a contribution to the community with their donations. Its nice to be recognized by people buying your work, said sophomore Emily Aikins. This year, the sale hours were staggered to accommodate night students. Kuzminski said she purposely keeps the event low key because it is an event primarily for the school. Despain Thanks ASWC For Remodeling black-and-whi- te First Spring Exhibit Boasts Student Work One an incredible Continued from came to her with the burning desire to do this play with Smith. Dean, Salt Lake City, has directed the Westminster Players before, and has also worked in the theater in New York, said by William Athey Forum stiff writer A plaque honoring ASWC and the students of Westminster will be placed in the remodeled Career Center when it is completed, according to Karen Despain, director of placement. Despain said that without a $3,500 donation in 1990 and the $4,500 donated this year; the Career Center would not be remodeled. The administration provided matching funds to provide a total of approximately $ 1 6,000 for remodeling. It is imperative for students to have a place to research companies and careers in privacy, said Despain. Currently there is no space available to do this. The Career Center should be a place for students. The cramped conditions now make it seem more like just another office, Despain said. The first phase of remodeling will consist mostly of knocking down walls and rewiring the electrical system. According to the bids Despain has received so far, almost half the cost to remodel the Career Center goes to rewiring. This is consistent with most other remodeling projects going on around campus. Despain said remodeling could begin as early as the middle of June. Remodeling will not begin until after commencement exercises because some minimal disruption of services is expected, due to all the activity. Despain said remodeling must be completed by fall. She said, I am thrilled to have remodeling begin. |
