Show LIFE B6 The Princess and the Goblin UVU Theatrical Arts Department teams up with Resonance Story Theater to bring a brand new production to campus By JEFF JACOBSEN Asst. Life Editor One magical princess, one young mine laborer and one army of menacing goblins: the scene is set for a work that influenced J.R.R. Tolkien to write about the battle for Middle Earth and for C.S. Lewis to write about the imaginary world of Narnia. In partnership with Resonance Story Theater, the Noorda Theater will be producing "The Princess and the Goblin," a classic tale for audiences of all ages. Adapted from the original work of George MacDonald by playwright and author Sandra Fenichel Asher, "The Princess and the Goblin" premiered in New York, and is coming here for its second production. Asher will be traveling from Pennsylvania to see the Noorda Theater productions and work directly with the student cast. Morgan Fenner, a senior theater performance major, describes this "very magic and fun" show as a classic, but dark story of bravery, honor and believing in oneself. The upcoming performances will be rewarding for Fenner and the other members of the cast, who have been rehearsing since May, 2011. The best part though, Fenner insists, is getting to talk to the kids in the audience after the performance "to see what effect you have on them." After the three upcoming shows at the Noorda Theater, the production will hit the road, traveling to elementary schools and libraries all over Utah County. There will be performances for children and youth every Tuesday and Thursday through October and November. The showtimes include two evening performances at 7:30 p.m. on Sept.16 and 17 and a matinee at 1:00 p.m. on Sept. 17.

I Campus offers options to vegans and vegetarians By CHRIS DREW Life Writer Students who are vegans or vegetarians can enjoy meals on campus that fit their lifestyles. Eggs, sausage, bacon, hamburgers, tacos, pizza and steak are just some of the many foods that Americans love to eat. With a growing student body, Campus Food Services has been making attempts to better accommodate different diets and food choices including vegetarians and vegans. "There has been a noticeable increase for these types of requests," said Tina Carlisle, UVU catering manager, stating that even though these diets have been around for years there have been more CLARK GOLDSBERRY/UVU REVIEW requests for meat-free meals in the past two years. Vegetarians and vegans have chosen their meat-free lives due to any variety of reasons, from ethical to disliking meat's taste. Vegans abstain from eating anything that comes from an animal while vegetarians are willing to consume things like eggs or milk but still not any type of flesh. "As a facility hosting national and international guests, we need to work with any type of diet," Carlisle said. "We do, however, need to know ahead of time to appropriately prepare it." With the addition of Subway and Costa Vida in the food court, which offer vegan and vegetarian meals, dining services has added more options in Valley View Dining, which provides vegetarian meals once a week and any day if ordered in advance. In 1994 Campus Food Services had a budget of $1 2 million from food sales. In 2011 the estimated gain has been over $3 billion. These gains, according to Val Brown, Director of UVU Food Services, have had little to no significant influence from these alternative diets. "What affects our budget is how we conduct our business," Brown said. "If we have a larger numbers of consumers who say they want to eat meat then we will serve meat. It's the same if the majority wanted meatless entrees. I do, however, share with my associates the desires that these clubs have so we may better communicate what we can for best serving our costumers." Even though Val Brown has received requests from campus clubs asking for changes from Food Services there is only so much that can be changed until students start purchasing more of those types of meals.
