From old AF High alumni Arts Pageant seeks donations Did you attend American Fork High School (or junior high school) in the rambling old building at 454 North Center? If so, Utah Pageant of the Arts invites you to participate in the restoration of the building by contributing toward materials to bring the building back to the ambiance of yesterday. One of the major projects of the restoration will be the intimate drama theater, which was once a study hall, later, an auditorium and . yet later, a library and office wing of the once majestic building. One of the most ambitious and promising projects currently un-derway is "selling" chairs in the drama theater at $500 each. Each of the theater chairs will have a plaque with the name of the donor attached. The plaque will also be engraved with the year of the donor's graduation, or in the case of a memorial contribution, the year in which their parent, friend or relative graduated from American Fork High School. Three donations to this special fund have been received, according to Betty Brady, chairman of the board of trustees, Utah Pageant of the Arts. "We are pleased to announce that Lydia Kirkpatrick, who graduated in 1934; LaRue Gaisford, who graduated in 1914; and Lillian G. Nelson, contributing in memory of her husband T on r Nelson, class of 1921, have each contributed $500 toward the Alumni Memorial Chair campaign," Mrs. Brady said. We have had many others express interest in this project and we invite all alumni to be aware that we want them to participate with us. We will be happy to accept a contribution in any size, from a dollar to a major contribution. "The major areas of the restored building will be renamed for donors," Brady continued. "We haven't named any of these areas as yet, and would be very pleased if we could name the drama theater after one of the students who made American Fork High School such a progressive school and were among those alumni who have brought honor to the school and to them-selves as they have made their mark and found success because of the encouragement they found as students at our great alma mater. "We need the help of the alumni to make this restoration program work. They can call the Pageant Center, 756-720- or the development office, ), for further in-formation," she concluded. Restoration of the building is already underway, with several dance studios and rehearsal studios now used by cultural arts groups, according to David O. Brockbank, Pageant producing director and Pageant center manager. Changes already being felt in Mtn. Bell-AT&- T separation to occur Oct. 31. Wallace said that after the first of the year Utah customers will begin receiving an expanded telephone bill required by the divestiture. The format will group separately the categories of service the customer is receiving from Mountain Bell, AT&T equipment charges, AT&T long distance charges, and possibly charges from other suppliers. "The customer will continue to make one payment to Mountain Bell for all charges on the bill. The company will be the collecting agent for AT&T and any' other companies that choose to use Mountain Bell's billing services," Wallace said. More detailed information on the modified bill will be released prior to the effective date, Wallace ex-plained. Wallace added that the company is preparing a special booklet ex-plaining these and other changes taking effect Jan. 1. The manual will be mailed to the company's more than 3Vi million residence and small business customers in December. The separation of Mountain Bell from AT&T won't officially take place for several weeks. But the first major changes brought on by the historical split are already being felt in Utah. Next week, Mountain Bell will notify its 85,966 business customers in the state that the numbers they call about telephone equipment and certain services will change Oc-tober 17. According to Earl M. Wallace, District Manager-Busines- s Service Center, the announcement is the first in a series of coordinated steps the company is taking to help ease customers into the new en-vironment brought on by the divestiture of the Bell System. "This way, customers will not have to cope with a large number of changes all at once," Wallace said. "It will be smoother for customers and ourselves." The company has formed new departments as they will exist in 1984, even though the final split with AT&T won't take effect until Jan. 1, he explained. "The division of responsibilities requires the reassignment of many employees to newly created organizations. Therefore, some of the telephone numbers used to contact these separate organizations must also change." Wallace said that after diver-titur- e, Mountain Bell will not longer provide or repair telephone equipment, but it will continue to provide local basic exchange ser-vice and access to the network. Also, the divestiture will mean that Mountain Bell will handle only those long distance calls within Utah. Other firms, including AT&T, will handle calls. Charts outlining the new numbers are being mailed with a letter of explanation to all business ac-counts, Wallace said. Wallace explained that this change involves only business customers. The 445,523 residential customers will be notified of a similar change in contact numbers . Lindon City - Minued from page 1) ' fetor of Public Assistance in n tovo.

Htumber one ru'e. as vou ?row- - is when we write a v" svjj0"1.3 meeting that we have W'V,8 our responsibility to Jl th total objectivity. We ' .notgods. Most of us are not even editors. We are just performing a public service in attending public meetings that most of the public does not attend, and reporting on what happened. ' Most of us, here in Utah, are of a brand of freelancers that write in our homes, and deliver the written word to the papers. I, personally, have never felt any pressure to write with any political tilt. Conversely, all of my editors, from the Pleasant Grove Review to the Deseret News insist upon objectivity. Lastly, please understand that we, as journalists don't have little secret meetings in each other's basements, planning the downfall of everything from the downtown of Pleasant Grove to the U.S. Government. We are truly and, I feel extraordinarily, interested in local and national government. If, as the politician said, there is a large group of journalists that write with a political tilt in their straight stories, they are not true journalists for it is our job to report to the public what has really happened. We area looselv knit bunch of people that care about the written word, and the truth. That's it. 1 |
