T vV by Gallery, Smithsonian ; BOOKSTORE Hours: Mon.-Fr- Sat. 8-- 5; i. 58S-799- 11-- BY CINDY JENKINS 4 Search in every nook and cranny. You may find exactly what the Smithsonian Institution and Valerie Kidrick are looking for. Eight months ago Kidrick, curator of the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery, joined those searching the nationwide inventory for unknown paintings previous to 1914. This inventory location survey was initiated in the early 1970s as a special bicentennial project. Today there are 262,000 listings for lost art in the Smithsonian file. Locally, the Cedar City Arts Council supports Kidrick by locating and documenting unknown art pieces from private collectors in addition to museum pieces for the nationwide inventory. Kidrick says she believes the survey will be especially helpful to d the numerous graduate students who contact her looking for information on an artist or painting theyre researching. The inventory includes all art and will not be judged on monetary or aesthetic value for the purposes of the project. We just want to find out whats out there, says Kidrick, not necessarily whats good. She noted every piece of art has inherent worth. The Braithwaite Gallery will computerize its own list to be used by the art students and other members of the community. Christine Hennessey, coordinator of the inventory for the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., said they have begun moving the records into the Smithsonians e system. The next step is sending the information to the Research Librarys Information Network, which will then distribute its listings to most major universities in the country. People who believe they may have found what the Smithsonian is looking for should contact Kidrick at The Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery. Those requesting information on paintings or sculptures should appeal to Inventories of American PaintingsSculpture, Office of Research Support, National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., 20560. 5 Your source for ail your back to school needs year-roun- I i i I t Orchesis painiiiimiiioisiiiiiimiaiiimiiimciiiismiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiic Mon. 1 Thurs.

The group will perform at school events, travel to different schools, and have a full concert the first week of March. Orchesis will meet as a class Tuesdays and Thursdays from with two credit hours available. Tern Lauterbach, group adviser, said she is looking forward to starting the program. We have wonderfully trained people coming to Utah, and Orchesis should be an excellent group, even the first year. She added that most people wonder what Orchesis means. The name originated in the 1930s at the University of Wisconsin as the name of their modern dance company. It soon became a national title for modern dance groups among colleges. Auditions for Orchesis will be Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 4 p.m. in the dance studio of the PE building.
