It's Grand Central Station down here since I brought that fawn home," laughed Brad, but the deer loves kids." k The Bradleys acquired the fawn last Friday, it was animal day, the same day the badger got into the county jail, Brad recalled. "Some people called from Mt. Pleasant and said their kids were eating a picnic on the lawn and a fawn came up and started eating their sandwiches." Brad made the trip to Mt. Pleasant to pick up the fawn, and upon arriving found it had disappeared. When Brad arrived back in Manti, he was advised the persistent fawn had reappeared and was visiting families on the south end of Mt. Pleasant, chasing kids and generally having a good time. Search and Rescue Patrolman Kerry Deuel of Mt. Pleasant took custody of the decidedly tame fawn until Brad could get back to Mt. Pleasant to pick it up. Since then, it has been fenced in the Bradleys' on contentedly grazing yard dandelions and swilling cows milk. When Brad went to work the other morning, the fawn cried and cried until 1 went out and fed it," his wife said. She added that like other babies, it cries at night. Brad estimates the age of the fawn at about three weeks, and says he and his wife will keep it until it gets past the bottle stage, at which time it will probably be turned over to either a zoo or a study unit. The conservation officer believes the fawn was probably born low in the valley or brought down to the valley by its mother, who was then possibly frightened off. The deer seems totally unafraid of humans and already seems to identify the conservation officer with frequent bottle feedings. I don't think there's any way this deer would make it back in the wild Come now," Brad observed. hunting season, it'd probably walk up to a hunter. It's amazing how fast a fawn will forget that it even is a "vy" Pag 4 Master teachers will prepare new units Annual Utah Arts Council conference slated for August 2 in Logan by Pat Mellor The second annual Utah Arts Council Conference will be held August 11 and 12, 1983, at Utah State University in Logan.

Each teaching unit will also such as disciplines integrate social studies, art or music, English, thereby more realistically representing life. Social conscience, ethics The Utah Council for Humanities Education strongly believes that the humanities must remain an equal partner with courses in science and technology, because the technocrats of the future will be making decisions which affect not only individual lives but the fabric of society itself. Creating humane technocrats, says the Council, involves more than improving skills and technical training; it involves the use of a curriculum which forces increasingly skilled program writers to develop a social conscience, and ask the ethical questions which will emerge from increased technology. For these reasons, the units prepared in the humanities workshops will emphasize those values which not only enrich life, but can develop increased social awareness and personal responsibility.
