ART GUILD RETURNS FROM SALT l.AKE TOUR: In the contin ual pursuit of inspiration, a group of SUU art students and faculty stimulated their creative interests Thursday by making an artistic excursion. Approximately 15 people journeyed to Salt lake to tour various galleries and exhibitions in the area. The first stop on the trip was the Springville Art Museum, featuring a show entitled "Utah W omens' Art Project." Srudents may have glimpsed a few of the works in this exhibition at the Braithwaite gallery last June. Next, the group went to BYU to view a drawing show. The drawings displayed were on a national level, presentin g a cross-section of art from all over the U nited States. This exhibition, as well as the Springville show, were deemed the most enjoyable by many members of the group. Finally, the students went to several galleries in Salt Lake. Many of the srudents who wen t o n the trip are members of the art d ub, more formally known as the Art G uild on campus. H aving started regular meetings, the group hopes to take another trip in the spring to l.os Angeles. Mark Talbert, head of the art department, advises the G uild and Liz Dickes serves as president. As fa_rulty membe1 Martha MacLeish said, "Trips like these are o pen to anyone who is interested." Also, any student who is interested in art, whether for career purposes or just e njoyment, is welcome to jo in the Art Guild and participate in art-rdated activities. 11IEATRE DEPARTMENT MAKES CHANGE IN UNEUP: The SUU theatre department has received the performance rights to present the musical Chicago, to be directed by Fred C .

USF hires Bean's replacement Bringing with him a wealth of public relations and business experience, and a love of the arts and Cedar City, Douglas T. Kirchner has arrived at the Utah Shakespearean Festival as its new marketing and public relations director. He is replacing Roger Bean who has been with the Festival since 1988 and who has left for New York City to take new employment "It is with mixed feeling that I leave Cedar City and the Festival," said Bean. "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here but l feel that this is a good career move for me. I will miss this area, the Festival, and the many friends I have made here." "Roger ha! been great to work with and an asset to the Festival," said R. Scott Phillips, Festival managing director. "He has raised the marketing department to new Levels here and helped to increase attendance at the Festival every year. I wish him well in his new endeavors." Kirchner, who began work Nov. 10, comes to Cedar City from Yakima, Wash. He received a bachelor of arts degree in English literature in 1967 from Colgate University and has spent the past 25 years working in marketing in the financial services and publishing industries. Kirchner lists two major things that attracted him to Cedar C ity and the Festival. "First, I want to get back to a more culrure oriented environment I really enjoy the arts and the theatre," he said. "To me selling Shakespeare is going to be a lot more fun than selling financial services." Secondly, Kirchner was very much attracted to Cedar City "because it appears to be a good place to raise a family." "Everyone at the Festival is excited to have Doug joining our team," said Phillips. "He is very aware of our plans for expansion over the next few years, and we all think that he can be instrumental in helping us achieve them. he is an exciting addition to the Festival staff." Coming to Cedar City with Kirchner are his wife, Julie, and their children , Chdsea and Anson.
