Show mq ptmtrya,wiyfriy igi Attributes longevity actions crucial for theatre Behind-the-scen- es the lights dim and the curtain rises on a major theatre production at Snow College, a tremendous amount of time is spent and work accomplished to make that final finished product. According to Theatre Department Chairman Kim Cristison, each spring the theatre faculty meet to determine the schedule for the following year. There they take into consideration plays that will provide a good variety for the year including a serious, instructive piece and at least one musical. And, of course, we always try to schedule plays that will appeal to our audience, says Christison. Next comes obtaining rights to the plays, planning advance publicity, and all this before the season actually begins. But the majority of the work involved comes during the five or six weeks directly preceding a play. Take the play "Blithe Spirit" by Noel Coward for example. The play will run in the Snow College Before to big breakfast In June 1966 Dr. Malvern Reeve, one of American physicians over 100 years of age, made an interesting comment relative to explaining his longevity. He said: I always have eaten a big breakfast. That's been my major meal. You have to fill a boiler to get up enough steam to carry you throughout the day. If you start the day right, things usually go right all day." I dont know whether this trim, 100 year-ol- d doctor was correct in this relating living habit to his age, but I'm certain a regular breakfast didn't hurt him. This is the meal Americans tend to skip most often, the many spokesmen despite touting the value of breakfast from grandmothers to health professionals to TV commercials. Its a sad commentary when you sec so many people starting the day w ith an 14 empty tank. And this is not dwelling on the many others who stuff in a poor grade of fuel, such as doughnuts, rolls, coffee, toast, and the standard high caloried meats, fried potatoes and eggs. Obese people need most of these foods like they need a hole in the head. They contribute to one of our biggest health problems. One of my present Dynamic Fitness students told me how surprising it was to be losing weight by switching from the breakfast to a cereal-frui- t 1 variety. I'm not surprised. and for have gone this route years would rather give up my fishing poles than change. Theol' doctor, I might add, was an advocate of both proper diet and regular exercise. More of us should have this sensible health philosophy. 88 Pag Thurday, April 7, 1$83 Mt(ngr-Entrprls- , Theatre from April 6 through the 9th, but work on the play began back in the end of February when auditions were held and set design was begun. Students are invovled in nearly every aspect of a theatrical production, says Richard Haslam, associate professor of Theatre and director of "Blithe Spirit. From the design and construction of the stage set to lighting, make-uand, of course, acting, students have the opportunity to learn the art of theatre and learn it well. In addition to the time and labor necessary to produce a play, there is a lot of expense involved. The theatre department has to purchase scripts, pay royalty fees, buy wood and muslin for the sets, lighting instruments and bulbs, costumes and a lot of little expendable items that are intentionally used up or broken during the course of the play. In "Blithe Spirit 35 trinkets will be broken during the four days, including eight Wedgewood vases (imitation of course). It should be noted that the college gets no state money for theatre productions. All revenue must come through ticket sales. However, season ticket sales are up this year and the theatre is gaining a loyal following. But when all that time, effort, and on rehearsing comes together hundreds of Central Utah are awesome delightful opening night, the patrons from all over will agree, the results to contemplate and watch.

To get best irrigation efficiency and to distribute water equitably requires water measurement. It can't be done by ' guess, say agricultural and irrigation engineers with Utah State University.

All of this highlights the importance of accurate water measurement. Some irrigation system operators have been reluctant to spend the capital costs of purchasing and installing measuring devices. They may not see benefits offsetting the costs. The water engineers say increasing competition among irrigation, municipal, industrial and other water uses increases the necessity for water users to measure their w atcr in order to preserve it. In fact, they say environmental concerns and competition for water use, though often intangible, may be the most important considerations in preserving the supply. They maintain that in most cases an objective evaluation of a water system will show that water measurement pays off. But the measurement must be accurate. This requires proper inspection and care during insulation and construction and proper use and maintenance thereafter. Guard against situations in water measurement devices that result in inaccurate measurement. The engineers say these include excessive turbulence, rough water surface, poor workmanship, weathered and worn equipment, improper guage location, too infrequent measurement and even use of the wrong measuring device for the system. Before irrigation w ater is turned in or pumping systems turned on this spring, the engineers advise checking the measuring devices.
