Campus, October 12, 1977, continuing through the evening of October 15. artistic BALLET WESTS William Christensen, choreographed this ballet while directing the San Francisco Opera Ballet in 1939. In 1961 it was performed by the University Theater Ballet, and has become a standard part of Ballet Wests repertory since 1963. The story begins in the toy shop of Dr. Coppelius, the toymaker who creates a lifelike doll named Coppelia. He is thought by the villagers to have magical powers, and is the source of many comic moments in the ballet, especially when he is tricked into believing that his doll, has in fact, come to life. Swanildas sweetheart is Franz. Although he enjoys teasing Swanilda by flirting with other girls, in the end his love is professed by marrying her. THE STORY of Coppelia changes in Act II, Scene II, when the fairy tale moved to the village square. A new bell has been placed in the village square and a festival is about to take place. A series of solos that even the most avid ballet goer never tires of seeing is begun as the dancers depict the hours of the day as recoded by the new bell. Dawn, prayer, and a beautiful wedding Pas SWANILDA, as in every fairy tale, is the beautiful young village girl who enjoys the energy and wonderment of being in love. As the ballet progresses, we also realize that she is clever at producing the needed changes to make her dreams become reality.

Garcia, Drivers License Examiners May Get More Space Utah State Drivers License examiners, currently located in the northeastern basement of the Davis County Courthouse have been authorized to present a plan for remodeling and expanding that area for approval by the Davis County Commission. TONY COX, administrator of the examiners, said the department has three major needs: a private area to hold hearings, a space for the supervisor, and a an ethnic stereotype, which tends to become a prophecy. People perceive Hispanics as lazy, stupid and able to do only manual labor. The object of IMAGE and National Hispanic Heritage Week are to project a positive image of the Hispanic and to encourage him to compete successfully in the Anglo Society without rejecting his Hispanic Heritage. THE Hispanic enters school years behind his anglo peers because of the language barrier. IMAGE is our organization which concentrates on federal and state g 3 governmental employment opportunities for Hispanics. Commissioner has no plans to remodel that section of the building, the commission is not adverse to any remodeling that takes if the state is willing to foot the bill. Flint COMMISSIONER said, although the county is not required to house the drivers license examiners in county facilities, they have done so as a courtesy to the public. That agency has been housed at the present site for about eight to ten years, Commissioner Flint said, rk them to apply for jobs. It also serves as a watch-doagainst job discrimination. IMAGE is also working to a more limited extent with the private sector to promote employment of Hispanics. It sponsors symposia to inform private business men of available personnel of Hispanic background. It also encourages unskilled Hispanics to gain training and breakout of the negative stereotype. IMAGE also plans to organize a voter registration workshop to teach Hispanics how to register to vote. IMAGE plans to sponsor conferences with junior and senior high school students to encourage them to stay in school and complete their education. Case Is Dismissed Glen Flint said that, while the county place openings and encourages secure place for documents. A court case against a former Utah Highway Patrol superintendent has been dismissed in Second District Court, Farmington, because of lack of prosecution. JUDGE Thornley K. Swan dismissed an appeal of driving under the influence of alcohol against Roy M. Helm on a motion by Helms attorney that it had been more than a year since the defendant was arraigned by the district court and during that time, no action had been taken by him. Helm was charged following an incident in November THE concluding divertissements are of work, war, peace and a peasant dance. A simple fairy tale emerges to produce the background for a 1975 when his car rolled at a Centerville exit of Interstate Highway 15. HELM WAS convicted in Bountiful City Court in July of 1976 of driving while under the influence of alcohol. He then appealed the conviction to Second District Court and asked for dismissal of the case at the August arraignment.

Swan ranch which is located about three miles northwest of the head of Beaver Creek at Monte Cristo. THE EARLY morning Sunday fire at the Rafter S. Ranch, resulted from an explosion, when Weber County firemen said a ranch hand by mistake had picked up a can of white gas that he thought was diesel fuel and poured the contents on coal in a stove. The homestead landmark burned to the ground. A small trailer and shed filled with tools and equipment nearby were saved, but the contents in the cabin including clothes were burned. The loss was estimated at $10,000. THE CABIN was the home of ranch foreman, Vern Jensen. Six people were on the premises when the fire curred, but none were ocin- jured. Weber County firemen received the alarm at 1 a m. THE landmark was formerly known as the Jones cabin built on a section of the old Browning Ranch, np from the University of California at Davis in 1970.

TUESDAY, Davis County gave the library board and chairman Thornock the Wayne commissioners authorization to proceed with negotiations to buy back half of the main level of the building formerly used by both agencies for book processing. The building site and the basement of the library headquarters building have always belonged to the county, Commissioner Glen Flint said. The library board may run into some trouble in deter- mining exactly what each party paid for their share of the County building. librarian, Jeanne Layton, said a search of the records by both agencies has so far not indicated exact costs. ACCORDING TO Commis- sioner Flint the total cost of the building was in the neighborhood of $160,000. Miss Layton said, So far we have not been able to establish what the future is. We dont know if a lease agreement was executed. County Clerk Rodney Walker verified that the county has been searching records and may have to check ledger cards in the vault to find the exact amount. Miss Layton said the school board appears not to have the exact figures either. THE DECISION to begin negotiations for the amount paid was a different proposal than the original plan. That plan called for each of the two parties to appoint an appraiser to determine what the building was currently worth. Earlier the library board had indicated they would seek an appraisal of the current market value. Commissioner Flint objected to this plan several weeks ago, saying that when a building passes from one government agency to another, the people taxpayers should not be charged again for the building.

Located eight miles north of Colorado Springs, Colo., and occupying 18,000 acres of mesas and valleys at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, the academy specializes in both at its market value. COMMISSIONER Flint and Wendell Commissioner Zaugg, who acts as a liaison with the library board, disagreed with the opinion of the county attorney. The county has not determined how the money to buy back the library will be raised once the amount is settled on, but Commissioner C.E. Moss suggested that one half mill for that purpose could be placed in the budget in January and then approved in a mill levy increase next August. He said a half mill levy increase would raise $130,000 in one year. In addition to the negotiations for the building, the library board and the school board also have to determine how to divide the books that have been jointly purchased. military affairs and scientific technology. Cadet Williams is a 1977 graduate of Layton High School. sion could attempt to estimate what the 500 square feet of space would have been worth in 1963 as opposed to the current value and negotiate on a sum somewhere in between the two figures. The split between the two agencies occurred when the school board decided to have the State Library Commission process and catalog their books instead of remaining with the joint book processing venture with the county. Commissioners asked why the library board did not go along with the same system which he felt might be less MISS LAYTON said earlier 9,880 county books in the school library, estimated at a value of $3 per book, would result in $29,640 owed to the that expensive. county library system. The 409 school district books in the county library, if valued at $3 a book, would reduce that figure by $1,227, she said. No agreement has been reached on the matter of the books nor has a value been placed on the van, which is also jointly owned. MR. WHITESIDES said the library board had evaluated that possibility, but felt the system was not sophisticated enough for the county library system. Lynette Wilson, library board member, told commissioners that the library board had evaluated the proposal of going with the state system twice and had THE commission and board determined to stay with the more sophisticated processing system used by the county library. Miss Layton said the state library commission mainly catalogs only for the schools and for small libraries. agreed that if the school board is not willing to work with the original cost of the building as a base, that some for other arrangement purchasing may have to be considered.
