Praise Professor Wiliam Christensen's University Theater BallPt program was the subject of an article in a recent Issue of the New York Times The story dealt with the company’s “BallPt Gala” presentations earlier this month but it expanded into items of greater significance ‘The future dancers and choreographers of the classic ballet in America may be found at state universities in the hinterland rather than in Paris London or major United States cities being visited this month by the Bolshoi Ballet” notes the Times "This became apparent this week to some 7500 balletomanes from all parts of the West who streamed to tha campus of the University of Utah for pleasant “Ballet Gala’ Its stars were five graduates of a week-londegree-grantincourse in ballet the nation’s first four-yea-

nationwide fame of Prof Christensen the article continues: “Professor Christensen sees the campus effort at Utah and other universities now beginning to offer ballet courses as ‘the real basis for this art form in the United States’ His opinion was buttressed by guest artists Janet Sassoon prima ballerina of the Berlin Ballet and Ardiano Vitale former first dancer at the Berlin and Vienna Opera Both were ‘amazed and entranced’ by the quality ability and effort displayed by the university students They Dance and Study Too more satisfying to administrative officials "Perhaps faculty members and students alike is tha fact that the five members all of whom rianeed solo Initial senior-clas- s roles have been “pretty well swamped’ with joh offers Illustrating the problems of campus ballet courses students taking part in the ‘Ballet Gala’ spent seven hours a day aix days a week on stage or in the ballet studio for three weeks before the public performances — and somehow managed to keep abreast of regular academic courses Scholarships although available for ballet as well as music and other art atudents are not nearly ao numerous as for athletics or the sciences Students are not complaining however According to one prospective ballerina a freshman: “ ‘I can go to college now to train for what I feel is to be my career I can afford the state university — I couldn t have gone
