Show • B4 : Monday * September 1, 2008 * » * : Life A nationwide book club CORRECTION In the "Best Of section of the UVU Review's Aug. 25 issue, we listed upcoming events in the McKay center as Muse, Damien Rice, and Guster. These concerts were in September of 2007. HASS • NEA promotes upcoming Big Read in Orem I Mel Sundquist Life editor from* B1 Thanks to a recent grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Orem will join over 200 other cities in celebrating Harper Lee's classic novel To Kill A Mockingbird. The program, which includes discussions and presentations, is free even if you don't live in Orem. The events will kick off on Sept. 9 at 2:30 p.m. in the Orem Public Library's storytelling wing. According to OremBigRead.org, nationally renowned storyteller Dr. Rex Ellis will present "historical documents and songs that provide context for understanding the novel." Events will continue almost daily in the storytelling wing until the finale on Oct. 17. There will be film screenings of Robert Mulligan's adaptation of the novel and "Fearful Symmetry," a making-of featiuette. UVU is one of the leading contributors to Orcm's Big Read, and if you caift make it to the kickoff on Sept. S, the event will repeat the next day at UVU's Library Lecture hall at 2:30. According to www.neaBigRead.com, over $2 million was given by the National Endowment for the Arts to communities nationwide for the Big Read. Events will be taking place not only in libraries, but also at "municipalities, arts, culture, and science organizations, and a zoo." The Orem Public Library received $10,000 for the event, and is the only city in Utah participating in the Big Read. Orem is one of thirty communities that chose To Kill A Mockingbird for the Big Read. Orem's Big Read Web site calls the novel "the touching homegrown story from a small town America (that) is accessible to readers of many ages and every walk of life." Other events during the program include a lecture about the life of Harper Lee (on Sept. 9), a discussion on racial relations in the historic South (on Sept. 16), and puppet shows (on Sept. 22 and 23). Utahan educators can also earn one continuing education credit by attending ten events and writing an essay for each of them. To earn the credit, show up on Sept. 9 and identify yourself as an educator to one of the people in charge. $60 million and $80 million; however, at least $20 million dollars must be raised through private donations and endeavors. Such substantial funding may not be accumulated for years. The proposed arts center is just one of several new buildings lined up for construction in the university's facility master plan. The master plan includes a new classroom building and new parking facilities as well as add-ons to the business and science buildings — the latter of which enjoys the foremost position on the list. The arts center is second. Only a sizeable increase in private donations could hasten its realization. Until then, performing arts students and faculty will endure and continue to improve the school of arts' growing prestige. to perform score music for Warner Bros.' / Am Legend, symphonies in Carnegie Hall, and dance competitions at Blackpool. But to reach such accomplishments, they are confined to developing their talents in the campus' proverbial garage. When I spoke with Barbara G. Hammond, assistant dean of the school of arts, she described the envisioned arts center as a great aid to many arts students. Dance students in particular would work in a space tailored to their needs, accommodating choreography and practice, and theater students would have more room to rehearse. In addition, the Woodbury Museum would move into the new building, making it more immediately accessible to students. Estimates suggest the building would cost between THEATER from* B1 nally utilizing the singing talent among our theater department. Tea With Mint Or Lemon? will also show this year. The play is a modern farce by Danielle and Patrick Haudecoeur, originally written in French, Plays about theater can sometimes be difficult for an audience to digest, but are sure to be fun for the actors. The finale of the season will be the Platform Series, which showcases all that the students have learned through performance and backstage work during the semester. The plays showing will be The Eagle Vs.

HOW TO from* B1 ject, try to contribute. Don't worry about saying the wrong thing and embarrassing yourself. And don't worry about asking silly questions. This exposes you to your professor as a sort of blank canvas — a favorite type of student among professors. E s p e c i a l l y in large class.'es, it s easy to torget that you ' ' are interacting with a real human being. Don't treat your professors like a channel for knowledge or a steppingstone to graduation. Remember that they have lives off campus just like you. |
