Show WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7 2018 DIXIESUNNEINS.COM - 9 -- -- of a modernized Potter, talking to and painting her furry friends). The impish Peter takes the feud entirely too far, and "Peter Rabbit" descends into a truly sadistic display of violence, as poor Gleeson is pounded, pummeled, battered, bruised, electrocuted and exploded at the paws of the brutal bunnies. There's a clever little meta streak that runs through "Peter Rabbit," especially among the Wildlife, who snark and joke and talk about their "character flaws," make war movie references, and "pour one out" for their fallen homie Mr. McGregor, all while bopping along to endless pop and p tunes. There's a whole essay to be written about the cultural appro priation of gangster rap symbols into this British property, but this is neither the time nor place. Ultimately, after the dust has settled, the lesson at hand is one of peaceful coexistence with the environment. The more you try to shut something out, with gates and fences and dynamite, the more it will try to fight back. There's also a message about owning your actions and taking responsibility... even if you are a tiny talking bunny wearing a blue jacket. But when a bunny misbehaves like Peter does, apologies are necessary all around. Perhaps even to the audience of the film. (c)2018 Tribune Content Agency. Jarvis said: "We have ramped up advising in the college of arts. We are trying to connect advisers more quickly to students and make those advisers available to help students navigate." Harding said enrollment has not changed too much because of the changes and the addition of the film program has increased interest in the program due to students wanting to increase their skill in acting for stage and on camera. "Theater has been growing pretty steadily," Jarvis said. "The fall numbers are up from last year and last year's numbers were up from the year before." Faculty and students are working toward a theater department that will continue to grow and improve as more opportunities become available and the department decides what their primary focus will be in the semesters to come.

They also contain network connections for energy and utility metering, as well as back door entrance to maintenance rooms in various buildings on campus, making it easy for staff to get into those rooms when needed. The tunnels are an intricate and important part of the campus, and the university relays heavily on them. While the idea of trying to find and explore this underground maze may seem like an interesting idea, it's best not to risk interrupting the staff and risk endangering yourself for the sake of an Instagram photo.

"Our preventative maintenance department will go through all of campus quarterly, through every piece of equipment on campus and check it out," Peacock said. An important function of the tunnels is to provide heating and air conditioning to almost every building on campus. Because the school uses the tunnels to heat and cool the buildings, the school saves thousands of dollars every year. Peacock said the school has been a way out). Hunt said the tunnels have five uses: cooling, heating, high speed internet, phone system and electrical. The main use is to run hot and cold water through the entire campus. The only people with access to the tunnels are groundskeepers and electricians, and they mostly use them for maintenance purposes. However, Kerry Dillenbeck, a HVAC specialist for the heating plant, said they often use the tunnels in the winter to get from building to building without having to walk through the cold. lear THEATER from page 8 continued nts II cafe. fel; the classes that will help them obtain their goals.
