On Thursday, November 1 8, 1 999 at 1 2:30 p.m. in the Snow College Crane Theater, Tracy Crowell, of Crowell and Associates Advertising, will speak in regards to the advertising tricks tobacco companies use to make their products look appealing to youth.

Crowell and Associates coordinates the Truth About Tobacco campaign for the Utah Department of Health and has been passion- ately involved in Utah's fight against tobacco.
