Show Thursday, Mar. more. Might I suggest that they place it in the UAC parking lot. Im sure that it would be greatly appreciated there. I can understand why the state officials would try to hold a low key at this time, but on the contrary, this should be a time when something is done about the almost unlimited control of the UAC. These kinds of things have been covered up before and the only ones that suffer are the taxpayers. The Salt Lake Arts Center has the same problem; theyre out of money and cant understand why. A few years back they awarded a artist $58,000 to build a square, colored telephone pole, to be erected at the center. In my opinion, this was an overpriced, flagrant misrepresentation of the public of Salt Lake. Most of their shows cater to the avant-gardbut they cant understand why the people of Utah wont support them. The point I am trying to make is that its time the people of Utah had a choice in the kind of art they would like to see in public places. Maybe if they got back to the heritage of the state of Utah, the people might support them more. I know when I look at art I like to appreciate its aesthetic beauty by seeing what it represents, not by having someone dictate the deep meaning of beauty as they see it from a scholastic point of view. Dont get me wrong, there is a lot of abstract art that I feel is very beautiful and takes a great deal of talent to accomplish. Then again, someone can slop and splatter paint on a canvas and call it art because they have a degree; this insults my intelligence. I also feel it has its place and not in the State Capitol, regardless of what the UAC believes. Dale McRae West Valley 7 TO THE EDITOR Art ? Punishment? . . . Maybe now is the time to question the way that public funds are used, or perhaps abused, by the unelected officials of the Utah Arts Council.

I know of at least two artists that offered to create sculptures that would represent our state and country in a realistic way, or shall I say in a way that the general public can appreciate and relate to. One sculpture that was offered was a bald eagle, but of course, as on other such occasions, it was deleted by the UAC. The UAC felt that it would be more to and seems to be wincing from the right appears to appropriate experience.

Not one traditional piece of art was accepted. The decision to choose three instead of one was reminiscent of how the UAC makes decisions here in the state of Utah.

The dogs, both female, came home with Judy. Barbaras is a beige, named Shigo, while Judy named her black, Patcca.

Each class will run from 7:30 to 10 p.m. at a cost of $140. Instructor Herb Van Os said he spent last summer talking to employers to see what skills were lacking m the shops prior to developing the class. The computerized equipment is replacing numerical control systems in machine shops, he remarked, and many machinists have had to either learn use of the computerized equipment on their own or are not yet familiar with it. The new equipment requires a mathematics background, he said. During the first quarter, students will brush up on regular math and take an introduction to computer math.

About 125 classes are available and are offered to provide flexibility and versatility in meeting education and training needs, said Geoff Brugger, dean of the school of continuing education. Emphasis is placed not only on instructional programs that lead to certificates and degrees, but also on g education for personal and professional growth, he said. Classes such as elementary accounting, autobody repair, blueprint reading and assembler programming give students the basics needed to embark on a new career or upgrading of skills in an area where additional training is needed, he remarked. Classes leading to personal growth include career image, effective parenting, word processing, interior design and floral design. Other classes offer training in skills, such as elementary fencing, scuba diving, horsemanship training, wood stove construction, private pilot ground school and beginning or advanced horse shoeing, he added. The continuing education programs offer quality courses to those who want to continue or begin their college education but find it inconvenient to attend during regular college hours at traditional sites, he remarked. Students may register in person in the lower level of the College Center between 8:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, March 19 through 30.
