A group of business representatives learned here Thursday learned where someone can lend a helping hand the tune of $110,000.

Troy Miller ran for two touchdowns and scored one extra point in Cyprus victory over Taylorsville in Ute Football action.

Three commercial opportunities have provided the principal motivation for financial investment in the development of advanced manipulation machines, over and above, that is, the general fascination which many people have for robots. First, it is believed that systems with machine dexterity can profitably perform a variety of tasks in the industrial sector, such as assembly procedures and interactive inspection functions. Also, it is obvious, it was pointed out, that such systems permite d Mathewson completed his touchdown barrage with a jaunt and fellow back Chad Fish drive with a capped a scoring run.

Cottonwood had 385 yards of total offense. Defensivley, Doug Wykoff, Mark Taylor and John Prows each recovered fumbles for Cottonwood and Wykoff was named the defensive player of the game. The top tacklers included Ladd Birch, Brad Sorensen and Prows with five solo take downs each. two-yar- d d d The time has come for states to to set their own speed limits. Since the 1973 Arab oil embargo, the federal government has mandated a maximum 55 MPH speed limit nationwide. That was 13 years ago. Now the Department of Transportation is threatening to withdraw federal highway funds from Maryland, Nevada and Vermont because of their failure to adequately enforce this outdated . law. Twenty members of the Senate are calling for speed limit reform. Now the President is endorsing this effort. Our intention is to allow states to raise speed limits to a maximum 65 MPH when a state determines that road conditions will allow safe driving at this speed. We recognize that lower speeds reclaim their right ..... have helped save lives. In fact, there are many roads where a speed limit of 55 MPH should be retained. However, with states like Utah, where communities are relatively far apart and traffic loads are light, increasing speed limits to a maximum of 65 MPH should remain an individual option. In determining the appropriate speed limit, a variety of factors must be taken into consideration. For many Americans, economic success is directly related to the amount of time required to travel from one destination to another. Each state knows i(s own peculiarities for both highway safety and expeditious travel. Therefore, the authority to set and enforce an appropriate speed limit should be returned to the individual state. U.S. Senator, OrrinG.

While the University of Utah had not previously pursued the financial gain aspects of its program, it is now becoming more involved because of the revenue that can be gained from businesses that spin off from the UofU research, according to Dr. Wood. the In addition to the hand, Center for Engineering Design have had several other notable developments which have achieved commercial status. .They include: the Utah Artificial Arm; the Wearable Artificial Kidney (WAK); the Phoresor ( electrically-induce- d transcutaneious delivery of ionized drugs); the Robotic Compliance System (used for the President Disneyland). The Utah Artificial Chamber Arm was at Thursdays demonstrated luncheon, prompting several members to demonstrate its functions. Also during the luncheon meeting, the Chambers Businessman of the Month award was presented to Don Robinson, editor of the Green Sheet Newspapers. Head of the editorial staff since 1965, Robinson directs the papers news reporting activities for communities in the south portion of the county, including the incorporated areas of West Valley City, Murray, Midvale, Sandy, West Jordan, South Jordan, Riverton and the unincorporated communities of Taylorsville, Bennion, Kearns, Magna, Granite Park, Millcreek, Holladay and South Cottonwood.

Barry Payne, playing The Boy, had superior voice quality and showed good range and strength especially in the difficult I Can See It. The Girl, portrayed by Tami Lynn McCann, also had several excellent numbers. Beginning with her song Much More, her clear soprano tones were satisfying throughout the production.

The surprise character of this production was The Actor, played by Jim Gastelum. This was his theatrical debut and he showed some fine comedic moments and a natural delivery, especially during his exchanges with his assistant, played by Darrin Brooks, and with the narrator. The three-piec- e orchestra featuring piano, harp and drums supported the cast very well. Some small orchestras play timidly and detract from the musical experience, but these players were bold and added to the overall effect. The only major weakness of this production was the work itself. Created by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, it lacks conflict and emotional content. The musical numbers all seem two verses too long is,,. little opportunity for character building within the skim, r py plot. The talent level of this production was excellent and the community can look forward to a January production of the much more substantial Glass Menagerie.
