"When viewers, particularly parents, began to complain that the diet of violence was excessive, television stepped back, looked at its production and began to diminish the number and intensity of Gibson violent episodes, musical This is the second play that I have attended at Weber High Sc hool and the students involved and their faculty advisors never cease to amaze me.

If we had not seen it, we would probably still be fighting in Vietnam," he says. "But we saw it, and what we saw was violent, and the violence generated a sense of revulsion in us, and we rejected the war. Knowing what we all know now about war, we may never allow another major war to break out again. According to Gibson, the challenge facing educators is that of finding innovative wajs in which TV can be used to build and rekindle student interest in basic learning skills, such as reading and writing. The professor notes his work with a graduate student w ho is helping junior high school students in Utah's Davis County sharpen their English usage skills by having them write television commercials, newscasts and programs. jvJ THE THEM LETS TALK. In an effort to make young people more aware of the pitfalls of vandalism, the Utah Congress of Parents and Teachers, Inc. (PTA), is statewide a conducting contest for students in Utah's secondary schools. The contest is part of Utahs Campaign sponsored by the Utah Council on Criminal Justice Administration (UCCJA), the funding arm of the state bumper-sticke- r PTA-directe- d emphasize the immaturity of vandalistic behavior. Each local PTA will judge and award prizes to the top three entries. Only the first place entry will be submitted for regional PTA judging, and only two entries from each region are eligible for the state competition. State include prizes awards for first, second and third Vandalism Committee. Along with the bumper-sticke- r contest, the campaign consists of billboard, newspaper, television and radio public service announcements. The contest began the first week in March when participating PTA groups throughout the state over instructed contest participants to create 600 slogans and artwork, in a bumper-sticke- r format, that place, plus six honorable mentions three for junior high students, three for high school students.

Mass-produce- directed and had beautiful sets. But, I think what impressed me most about Damn Yankees" was the determination and dedication of the students involved, especially Don Glover. Glover played the part of Joe Hardy, who sold his soul to the devil so he could help his favorite baseball team win the pennant. Before the show, 1 was told that Glover had broken his arm and that it w ould not be set until after the last performance. This is what I call real dedication. I cringed ev ery time he moved that arm and especially when someone touched it. Not only is Glover dedicated, but is also a fine actor and singer. In my opinion, the person that really made the play worthwhile, was the performance of Arnold Cottrell, who played Jhe devil, Mr. Applegate: His fine performance" makes me wonder if he isnt a little devil most of tin? time. Becky Shupe and Kris Hull were very realistic in their parts as Lola and Meg. Paige Willie as Gloria gave a fine performance, but I hope that she didnt use me as her model for a reporter. All in all the performance was first rate and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sets were very good and this added to the really professionalism shown by tins play. The orchestra was also good and the music was performed well. ONE YEAR GIFT SUBSCRIPTION Give One Free To A Relative or Friend High mathematics department under the direction of Dr. Ellis.
