Show 6 THE GREEN SHEET Thursday, August?, 1984 Test Your Smarts' On These Im a pushover for tricky questions and answers as most of you well know. Why, I cant even tear myself away from the TV when a quiz show is on and in magazines. . .well, Ill spend far more time on such pages than on the recipes or stories. 0 0 0 Let's Keep Up With Road Needs The summer season seems to accentuate a prevailing shortfall in providing for the growing number of automobiles using major roads in the Salt Lake Valley. The problem extends beyond the discomfort of sitting in a hot car in a long line of traffic inching its way through a construction project. Somewhere along the line, priorities for building new roads and expanding existing ones have apparently taken a back seat to other needs. Local and federal funds in short supply is often the reason heard for being unable to proceed with a project. Changing attitudes that have required extensive environmental studies also have complicated the picture, extending, in many cases, the waiting time for a project to get off the ground to intolerable lengths. The average citizen could probably take his or her share of the blame also. Many who at one time would not have hesitated to let their government representatives know what they feel is needed no longer participate in the exchange of opinions. That leaves government officials to make the decisions largely by themselves. It's not that they are not capable, but most invite input from their constituency to help them make the right decisions. Wherever the blame lies, John Q. Motorist ends up on the short end of the stick. The result leads to such situations as: So, here h 2.

I can now truthfully reveal that, when called upon to describe panic, I will be able to do so with that sense of realism that only life itself can bring forth. The description will be complete with rapid pulse, weakness of limbs, a feeling of total helplessness and the bitter anger one experiences when the perpetrator of the problem is none other than himself. All that accompanied by complete and utter entertainment.

When the Overture heralded the beginning of the show at 8:30, 1 laid all of my props and costume changes on a sheet on the hood of my car so that they would be easily accessible for the four changes required of me during Act One. At least I thought I had everything laid out. I put on the first costume, fooled around until cue time came, went on stage and participated in Wed Like to Thank You Herbert Hoover. Returning to my makeshift dressing room, I reached for my main costume, that of Mrs. Pugh, one of world. Bradford That was a cheating kind of a wasnt it?

With all due respect to the hard-wor- k and many talented people involved in the performing arts here, I think it is presumptuous and out of perspective for the people in power to use tax payers money to provide a community of this size luxuries such as the amphitheater, when the money allocated could be used in other, more practical ways for the greater good.
