Tickets for the BYU production of Royal Hunt of the Sun go on sale at the Harris Fine Arts Center ticket office on the BYU campus on Friday, February 28. The production, directed by Dr. Harold L Hansen of the Speech and Dramatic Arts Dept., will run in the Pardoe Drama Theater in the Harris Fine Arts Center from March 7 through March 21. The play centers around the conquest of the Inca Indians by the Spanish conquistador, Pizarro, and the bond of friendship which slowly develops between Pizarro and the Inca chieftain, Atahuallapa. Pizarro is played by Ed Walker, and Atahuallapa is portrayed by Tristan Pico, who played Joseph in Coat of Many Colors. Royal Hunt of the Sun is the first play authored by Peter Shaffer. Because there are 53 members of the cast, and the fact that he was an unknown playwright, Shaffers attempts to have the play prodded on Broadway were unsuccessful until a subseFive Finger Exercise, bequent work, came a popular attraction. After Five Finger Exercise was made into a motion picture, Royal Hunt of the Sun was produced on Broadway, where it ran for more than three years and was the top box office attraction for 18 months. The musical score and costume design from the Broadway production will be used during the run of the play on campus. The price of tickets is $1.50 for general admission, 75 cents for senior citizens and missionaries, and free for students and faculty with activity cards. Group rates are available on request.

Scouting activitities are designed to help mentally, morally, boys spiritually and socially. Scouting is for years of transiboys aged 8 to tion from childhood to adolescence. This is the impressionable age when boys form many of the attitudes, beliefs and habits that will last a lifetime. F ork area is S couting in the Pay supported three ways by the Utah National Parks Council, Boy Scouts of America; by organizations and individuals who contribute financial support, and by volunteers. Those who qualify as Scout leaders must undergo a rigorous course of instruction. Most trained leaders spend at least 500 hours a year in the service of Scouting. Scouting takes boys outdoors, they learn to identify butterflies. They grow familiar with birds and their calls. They learn the names of trees, shrubs and flowers. They study wild animals at close range. They memorize the movements of stars and planets, in order to tell time in the dark and to find their way at night. Regilious faith is fundamental to Scoutof all Scout troops, ing. In Utah 85 or are posts packs sponsored by churches. Every creed is represented. Scouting isnt limited to the outdoors, Scout activities can take place in a church basement or a vacant store. The chief purpose of the Boy Scouts of America is to develop good citizens. Scouting could save a life. The famous Boy Scout motto is Be Prepared. If an accident should occur and emergency first aid treatment is needed, Scouts will be ready to meet the test because of their background and training from adult leadership. But Scouting isnt just camping out in summer. Scouting takes place in the city too.

Transistor. transistor, invented The and developed at Bell Telephone Laboratories, has and will have definite effects on all society , and specifically those persons born the same year. Ther on Johnson, local manager for Mountain States Telephone, said it is estimated that seven out of ten persons born that year will make a career in a business or industry which depends on the transistor for growth, if not for actual existence. Continued development and growth of transistor technology, which has led to integrated circuits, miniaturization and greater durability, will likely cause electronics to become the largest industry in the world by the late 1970s or when the transistor and the 3,817,000 babies of 1947 reach age 30, Johnson said. Transistors are used in homes, automobiles, factories, on the ocean floor and in outer space. They provide guidance systems for communications satellites and are also essential in the operation of modern computers. The transistor has ignited a period of progress unequaled in the history of the world. Its use will directly affect the lives of 70 per cent of American youth as they take their places in the laboratories and factories of the nation Johnson said. Record butterfat production up.

Utah State University supervised the production, weighing, and testing operations, in cooperation with Holstein-Friesia- n Association of America. This level of production may be compared to the average U. S. dairy cows estimated annual output of 8,513 lbs. (3,959 quarts) of milk containing 315 lbs. of butterfat. Participation in the testing program allows dairymen to more accurately select and develop the most profitable cows in the herd. ee ON TARGET EVERY TME i Last year we were on welfare ind didnt even know where we would be the next day.

She is the mother of a Utah County family which has survived the devastating effects of poverty and is now on the road to stability and independence. Operation Mainstream is one of five programs directed by Utah Countys Community Action Program which is designed to eliminate poverty and its causes. Operation Mainstream provided Mr. Johnson with training. This program pays for job training within nonprofit agencies with the intent of permanent employment. To qualify, a person must be chronically unemployed, in the poverty class, (determined by the government poverty line index), and over 22. The case of Willys Johnson is typical of many poverty families. I was forced to quit school in the ninth grade and go to work after my father died. I worked at many odd jobs which required little training. Eventually I married, but after a few years of severe economic hardship, was divorced. Shortly thereafter, I suffered a nervous breakdown. Because of the divorce and my difficulty in gaining a permanent job, I completely lost confidence in myself and my abilities. After my dismissal from the hospital, I tried to get a job, but nobody wanted to hire me because I had suffered a nervous breakdown. Then CAP gave me chance for retraining. I took a maintenance training course, and now am working on the custodial staff at the Utah Valley Hospital Willys has since remarried and says his self confidence is returning. Operation Mainstream is presently paying his salary, but he will shortly be on the hospital payroll. Operation Mainstream helped me regain my confidence, Willys confides. My wife and I have taken a few adult basic education courses which have really helped.
