Downs ticketpolicy To: USU Faculty It seems appropriate that we as faculty of utah State University express conce rn over the recent announced "sea son ticket policy" by our own Athletic Department. I, for one, wish to rais e questions as to who crea ted such a policy, why was such a policy instituted , and should such a policy be carried out for this year as well as future years? Apparently the Athletic Department has now totally com mitted itself to the raising of money as its chief aim. Fans of the past both USU faculty and many more in the loca l community ~nd area have been given word by our Athletic Departm ent that thei'r support is welcomed if accompanied by substantial financial backing. This finan ci al backingbeing so great that for a majority of fans, it is not only highly unreasonable, but out of the question. The USU Faculty Association and /o r the AAUP shou ld represent
those of us who are conce rned about this announced
ticket policy . Many have taken a back seat in the past as far as being vocal for our concerns, including the entire question of whether or not to bui l d a new stadium, why the sta dium did not have a domed cove r when it was built, the restroom question on the east side of the stadium, and many
Whatever happened tofootball? After being away from Logan for two months, I found the town had complete ly changed. Eve r ywhere I went I found people trading rumors about the USU basketball program. The first place I stopped was the Logan Golf and Country Club. There was enough ''inside dope'' going around that you'd havethoughtDavidEllsberg had just been in. Somewhat amused and partly baffled, I headed for the door when some guy who'd been sitting at the bar for about three days stopped me. "Hey, what do you know about this basketba ll business/' the guy blurted. "Don't ask me " I stammered "do you think you could lend me' a rumor until n~xt Thursday?" "Sorry, I've got to use all I know. But I know a guy who actually spoke to Buss Williams and I think he'll tell you a few. 11 ''No chance ," I said, "who wants to know the truth?!1'
about time he's moving to the top of the athletic heap. So here's the offl.cial warning: Utah State 1 s football team will rise from the grid scrap heap and blossom into one of the West's major powers! Coach Mills probably won't admit it , I haven't talked to him for months, but the man has got to be anxious to get going and put an end to the cloud over his head. Last year when he went 5- 5, most thought it was a mediocre seaso n. The trouble came when they beat some good teams and lost to some poor ones. After a few fashionable shows, people forgot the team was predicted to win no more than th r ee games. But after a month or two of Inde cision, he swayed most of the cynics.
A MAJOR SURPRISE
I left, trying not to hear the taunts of the self-proclaimed basketball experts, when I stoped
other such topics connected with the Athletic Department. Perhaps this one hits us more in our personal pocket-books.
short of the door.
"Who said something aboutfootball?" I mumbled. "Gee , it's been so long since football's been in the news that I thought the ba ll was painted red, white and blue. The thought scared me, too. Because after giving Chuck Mills a stiff going ove r last year , I knew it was his turn to start shovellng the manure on everyone else. He's taken so much criti cism that he makes Vietnam seem like Cowboys and Indians. It's
In any case something should be done.
'
Respectfully submitted, Jay A. Monson P.S. I wonder if the Athleti c Department would consider REDUCING the pri ce of football tickets and actually filling the stadium - - thereby coming out ahead financially and doing a great service for the communi ty?

RARIN' TOGO
It's less than a month until pra ctice begins. And Mills has some blue-chippers coming back. Spring drills promised that. The turf at Romney Stadium is being lifted and new sod isbeinglald. lt'llhelpwhen rain and snows come. It should absorb more wetness and help eliminate any mor e "Mud Bowls ." Mills won't say it, but the Ags will likely be underrated in mos t pre-season polls. He's stockpiled as much ta lent as he'd ever had here .... and if the Junior College kids come through ... with a minimum of inj ur ies .... the Big Blue Machine could burn a few behinds. These are just some idle thoughts on a slow summer day. But I really think it's time to let T. L. Plain get a little work done and let Chuck Mills step on the stage. - Greg Hansen
Carnival torunforfiveperformances Thr )Bistro
Although 11 Carnival' 1 is descr ibed as a musical (it ran 21 months on Broadway), and includes a plot to warrant that designation, it is , for all intents and purposes, an old-tashioned tent show, complete with jugglers, trained dogs , puppets, a stilt walker, a magician, a strong man, a cooch dancer, a cyc list , a ringmaster and roustabouts. The pleasant uproar caused by all the various circus novelti es will come to the stage of the Utah State University Chase Fine Arts Center July 27, for a five night run. The musical pro duction is under the auspices of the USU Summer Music Program -- Stephen A. Simmons, director. The story of "Carnival" has to do with the romance of a wisl!Ul gir l and a sullen puppeteer, a bitter young man who can talk gently only thr ough his puppets. The puppets , reminiscent of Burr Tillstrom's Kukla and Ollie, are especially delightful. The puppeteer, a fellow with
a game leg and terrible temper 1 falls in love with Lili, the young lad y who happens upon the ca rn ival scene. Lili is immediate ly swooned by Marco the Magician, an engaging vil lian who is both menacing and amusing. Lili's enchantment with the puppets sets the stag e for many amusing and romantic scenes and eventua lly wins her heart for the puppeteer . Said John Capman , play criti c for the New York Daily News, "The screenplay has been embellished and elaborated most taste fully.: ("Carnival" wasderived from the sc r eenplay "Lili" which in turn is taken from the short story by PaulGalli co, "Th e Seven Souls of Clement o• 11 The Reilly.") curtain is already up on a bare stage , and a carniva l takes shape before one's eyes, setting up its tents and marquees and wagons," the cr iti c wrote. The starring role of Lili is shared by two USU coeds, Danise Grantham and Winnie Mae Skidmore. Bob Tidwell takes the role of the puppeteer, while Clyde
Carraway plays the magician and doubles as assistant director. Curtain time each night is 8 p.m. from July 27 through
July 31. "Carniva l" is the thirteenth summer produ ction by the USU Summer Opera Workshop - Sum mer Music Theater. The com pany of musicians , singers and actors studies each summer and presents one of Broadway's greatest hits and offers it interpretation to the residents of Cache Valley. Presentations in years past have included "Madam Butterfly," "Carmen ," "Car ousel,'' 11 Peer Gynt/ 1 "Kiss Me Kate/' "Paint Your Wagon," and "Br igadoon." The first major production by the summer group was in honor of Logan City's Centennial. "Look on the Land," composed by Dr. John Philip Dalby, Ven eta Nielsen, Edith Morgan and Moyle Rice, was staged in the amphitheater near the southwest cor ner of the cam pus.

SUSC presents drama festival; "
to show Shakespeare The atmosphere of the Eliza bethan Age is coming to life in the Shakespearean Festi val now playing in Cedar City, Utah. Annually the theater department at Southern Utah State Col lege presents a variety of Shakespeare's plays for a number of weeks during the summer. J "T aming of The Shr ew i'' "King Henry IV" and "The Tempest" will be pla ying in Cedar City until Aug. 7. The plays are pres ented aternately every night but Sunday. Elizabeth Pil cher and Barbara Cox have designed and super vised
const ru ction of costumes for the three plays this year . Mrs. Pil cher has recently cost umed "Henry IV, Part I" at Princeton Univer si ty and has been able to obtain the loan of valuabl e costumes and accessories for the same production of this summer's UtahShakespearean Festival. She als o designed "Taming of the Shrew . '' Miss Cox 1 pr ese ntl y a member of th e faculty of the Drama Departm ent of Stanford University, is cos tum ing "The Tempest." The festival company is selected from talented young men
plays
and women in top drama sc hools in the world. The Old Eng Ii sh atmosphere is displayed by these young artists as well as the aut hentic music and dances which is performed eac h evening before the performan ces. Stro llin g minstre ls, intriguing musica l sounds and ene r getic period dancers along with puppeteers and vendors cr eate the colorful theatre mood of the Elizabe than age. Tickets for the performances may be obtained at the box office or by ca lli ng 586-9061.
in a heavy plot sequence, but rather it r emains very bouyant in its frivolous use of the language
and characterization of the people at large . Simon and Sorel Bliss (a most significant sir-name) were portrayed very well by Jack Southwick and Ma r y Schultz . They every were ver y consi slant and used opportunity to color the portrayal
of the hypochrilic
family from Of course
whence they came . we see John Beyer
once again, doing his usual outstanding work as an elde rl y gentleman -- very difficu lt indeed to believe he is really a young man. Sandy Tyrell, played for us by Franklin R. Spencer, was terribly obnoxious -- he never once abandoned his All-American gr in and his huge, white teeth added so to his tiring demeanor. Louise Butler Baugh as Myra Arun de l gave us by far her finest perfo r ma nce of the season. She made very effective use of her eyes; and she too did a grea t job at keeping the entire mood of the play very bright. J er r y D. Allen seemed to be acting his "cup of tea" as Richa rd Greatham. His gest ur es, when lighting his cigarette 1 'in
the way of the world" were nothing short of hilartous--exac tly what one wants to see and yet it is devas tating ly funny. J ackie Coryton, played by Sallie Coombs Greiner, also gave her finest performance of the season. She was very believable as a half-wt tt ed type person, and I par ticularl y enjoyed her choking ly slow tempo in her breakfast sce ne. Sharla Qayle gave a ver y plausible servant and elderl y lady in the role of Cla ra - her Cockney acce nt left little to be desi r ed , as did her walk and manne r . I have purposely saved the best per formance for last menti on. I beli eve that Peggy Patrick Garbis •1 swept the Rep' ' so to speak 1 in her portrayal as Jud ith Bliss , the mother. She was so delightfully flam bouyant, so utterly dramati c and ostentious, that she pleased and ti ckled the very soul of the audie nce-- she did it justth eway one would like to see it done -and on that I'll close with one of her lines: " People do behave in the most ext raordinary way" -- if you don' t be lieve it , allow the Rep. to prove ii.
'Tokyolovesart'
USU artist displays pottery inJapan "Th e people of J apan all display a concer n for pottery and ceramics because they use it so much. It's a pleasure to have your work evaluated so cr itically by peop le who know and ac cept pottery," states Larry Elsner, a pottery craftsman who re cently return ed from Tokyo wher e he had a one man show of his works.
Elsner, an associateprofes~or of art at Utah State University, was invited to Japan by one of the nation's largest department stores. And as strange as it may sound to the American connoisseur, the country is known for the excellence of the art galleries in its department stores. Elsner modestly says the invi tation and the opportunity to go to Japan were the result of his friends and contac t s in the countr y. Because his wife, Yoko, is from Tokyo he knows many people there. RELUCTANT TO ENTER Elsner has participated in 36 exhibitions and won numerous pr izes but he was not quick to jump into this. "At first I was r e lucta nt to do it because it seemed like such an undertaking. I know a pers on couldn't do it alone . The whole thing worked because of my family and fri ends, " he says. Actua lly, it more than work ed. It was a gr eat success. The peopl e of J apa n, whose ar t is quite traditional and bound into their his tory 1 found Eisn er's ce r amics " exciting" and praised his "fre e expression." To prove their pra ise they bought nearly all of the 100 pieces he displayed in the six days he was there. And the gallery ha s invited him to r eturn in two yea r s - - an invitati on he can't blame on fr iends. "Th e people were caught with the freedom of the work and were also very excited be ca us e the clay ca me from Utah and the pottery was produ ced by an Ameri can. It was a thrill to be so well accepted."
ELSNEREXHI Bl!- These are examples of the pottery displayed in Tokyo by Larry
PART OF PHILOSOPHY Prof esso r Elsner feels the concern for art is part of the
life philosophy of Japanese . "It is deeply rooted and probably lied into Ze n Buddhism. II permeates everything the y do. The architect ur e, the beautiful Japanese gardens, even their co~ce rn for nature, all refle ct _this attitude. Wher ever possible, there is harm ony. " Japanese art and philosophy has some influence on Eisner's work. Disc us sing some of this influence, he says, "l am very much inter est ed in the sculptural pottery form and have a high regard for the work of Mr . Yagi, a Japanes e artisan who does sculptural ceramics.'' It is easy to see Larry Eisner's deep respe ct for Japan and the people . He loves and under stands the culture . Very well, in fact. At only one point did the customs of J apa n ca tch him off guard. NAMING ART Japanese artisan s give each piece of pottery a name. Larry r ealized this just prior to the opening of the show and spent a hecti c few hours naming each of the 100 pieces. "Fortunately my wife and fr ie nds were ther e to help. As we looked at them, most of the pieces suggested names and it was not as difficult as it seemed at first. Many of the names we chose were related to Japanese traditions. Actually it was quite interesting," he r emembers .
What about the next exhibit two yea rs from now? Will it be significan tly different? 111 don't think so. I will begi n working on it quite soon and even though I may develop a few more things ii will be fairly close to the work in this exhibit. I want to narrow the range of things I take but the forms will be similar .
