The play is a spoof on an Agatha Cristie murder mystery. It is being presented by the WSC Theater. Among the cast members are Britt Heifer of 2072 West 3875 South in Roy, a sophomore theater arts major at WSC. She will play the part of Felicity Cunningham. Curtis Hollis of 578 West 2475 North in Layton,, a senior majoring in music, will play the part of one of a pair of energetic drama critics. Brenda Lodi of 129 North Main in Centerville, a junior majoring in theater arts, is in charge of scene design for the play. The Real Inspector Hound, is a new comedy by British playwright Tom Stoppard, according to Martin L. Kelly, director. The play will run for one week, playing nightly at 8 p.m. through Dec. 6 in the newly named Leland H. Monson Theatre in the Browning Center. The theatre has previously been known as the Cellar Theatre. '"Die play is really much more than a spoof, said Mr. Kelly. It is an extremely witty satire on bad playwrights, drama critics, and especially the murder mystery. The production features Mary Lesher as the archetypal British.maid, Mrs. Brudge. Miss Lesher is a theatre major from Thermopolis, Wyo. Lady Cynthia Muldoon and her dear friend Felicity Cunningham are played by Kelly Smith and Miss Heifer, both sophomore theatre arts majors.

Roy High Project & I are played by Bryce Taylor, a senior theatre arts major, and Hollis, a senior music major. Simon Gascoyne, the handsome stranger, and Maj. Magnus Muldoon, the mysterious guest, are played by Nelson Mather and Mark Neumann. Inspector Hound is played by Mark Watson, a sophomore theatre arts major, and Higgs by Rodney Montague. Randy Barker is stage manager, with Don Glover as technical director. Costume design is by William A. Earl, and scene design by Brenda Lodi. Lighting design is by Scott L. Jensen. No matter what kind of comedy you enjoy, youll love this one, said Mr. Kelly. There are several levels of awareness to the play, but you dont need to see them to enjoy it. vv m rw vviik w w wv rv w vv w mnninf Daafsri For : Heat King, Feugo, Garrison, Big Plnay, and athare.

Staff Writer ROY When Roy High Schools salt water bacteria finally get into outer space, they will have earned the trip, lit sounds like science fiction, but the trip i$ real. At least plans for the space flight are very real, and it now appears as though the first one may actually take place in March, taminated. Greg Hart continued research with the bacteria last year, using nicotine to destroy the ability of the organism to oxidize and studying the effects on their growth. Both students took their science projects . 1981. to rrhe bacteria will leave fhe earth aboard the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations reusable space airplane, the space shuttle. 'Space was reserved on one of the earliest test space flights of the shuttle more than three years ago by Gilbert Moore, general manager of Thiokol Corporations Astro-Me- d Division plant in Ogden. : on three Moore, put a Getaway Specials, which are actually in the shuttles cargo bay slots that are being sold to individuals, companies and institutions by NASA on a basis for small research packages. , Moore donated one space to the Weber School District, one to Weber State College and one to Utah State University. He also reserved part of one of the slots for his own familys project which involves the effects of zero gravity on the human body. .That was three years ago. Other schools in the district were excited about the project then, but delays in the space shuttle launch except at Roy date cooled the enthusiasm High. for keeping the Largely responsible of postseries a project going through ponements is the schools biology instructor and space enthusiast, Gary Young. tYoung has passed on his enthusiasm for the project: to two young students, one of whom have now graduated. Three students have used salt water bacteria in various down-payme- nt space-availab- experiments le in winning science fair displays. -What the students and Young propose to de with their shuttle slot is simple, compared to some of the experiments that have grown out of the original research. Using their one cubic foot container the schools scientists will send some of the bacteria into space in a dormant stage. When they are returned to earth, they will be studied to determine the effects of space travel on the tiny organisms. Morgan Hardy was the first Roy High student to get involved in research with the bacteria, one of five strains which live in salt water,1 Its scientific name is Halobac-teriuhalobium. m International the Science and Engineering Fair after winning in regional competition. Hart was the first to try to adapt the bacteria study to space flight. Young has been involved in helping students prepare for science fair competition since 1973 when he was a teaching intern at Roy High. Another of his students, Scott Allan Jackson took first place in the International science fair in St. Paul, Minn., in May with a project involving the pine beetle and its destructive effects on trees. Youngs latest addition to the research project is Ron Taylor, a junior who has been creating winning science fair projects since he was in seventh grade. Taylor is also active in music, takes advanced placement chemistry and biology classes for college credit, and is an A- - student in all subjects. He, like Young, is fascinated by the NASA space shuttle project. A small laboratory they have built and furnished with some borrowed equipment and some that belongs to the school is decorated with photos of the shuttle and designs of space stations. All kinds of scientific work is possible in space that is not feasible with the gravitational pull of earth. Taylor said computer crystals and even diamonds could be manufactured to near perfection in space. Young said the possibilities for production of useable energy and other materials is myriad. It would be possible to collect light in space and send it in a beam of microwaves to earth and produce enough electricity to light the city of Los Angeles nearly forever, Young said. He said the technology for such projects exists now. They are just waiting'fbr the bugs to be worked out of the design of the space shuttle now to get the whole thing started, he said. In 20 years we might be going to the bank to get a loan to buy an asteroid instead of a car. We could take water in space on the asteroid that would evaporate and form clouds; we could take lower animal forms and start a food chain and eventually create our own little world. . The space shuttle would be the workhorse of such a space world. It is designed to be launched into space, deliver its cargo, and return, essentially intact, to earth to be used again. The Roy High Getaway Special will probably be aboard the third or fourth shuttle flight. As amazing as the space shuttle seems, the tiny salt water bacteria themselves are Z just as fascinating. They form the bottom rung on the food I chain ladder because they have the ability, like plants, to turn light energy into food energy. All life depends on that ability, called photosynthesis. The bacteria use the process of photosynthesis, but, instead of green chlorophyll, they: use a purple pigment called bacteriohodopsin to do the job. In the absence of light, the bacteria can also live by oxidation, turning oxygen to food energy. The purple pigment gives the bacteria clusters a pink color, which contributes to the red hue of the Great Salt Lake, especially in the north end where concentration of salt is greatest. The bacteria are extremely resistant to environmental extremes, which is why they are of interest to space scientists. In a dormant stage, they can live without water for years, suddenly starting to grow when the conditons improve. They can also live in extremely hot or cold conditions, which makes them adapatable to space travel. They are harmless and can live in the ocean, but prefer higher concentrations of salt, like those found in the Great Salt Lake z and the Dead Sea. n Taylor has been studying the effects of radiation on the bacteria and used the subject of his science project last year. To be subjected to different types of radiation, the bacteria have to do some traveling. Taylor takes them to Weber State College, where they are bombarded with ultra-violat St. rays. He subjects them to Benedict's Hospital and to gamma rays at the University of Utah. He then measures their growth, using a density meter. It's hard to look at just one bacterium to see how it looks, he said. You have to study the whole colony. He studied at the University of Utah during the past summer to sharpen his chemistry knowledge and at the same time used the university library to get some more background on the salt water bacteria. He hasnt decided yet whether to continue the radiation project this year or begin work on another subject for his 1981 science fair project. et Our.Freedom Safeguards Your Freedom In 1,000 Words Or Less. . .
