OKI AHOMA CITY (AP) —
The president of the Okla-
homa Arts Institute said the
group will move its Summer
Arts Institute because the
Quartz Mountain lodge is not
finished
Last year, the institute’s
Fall Arts Institute had to be
moved at the last minute to
the University of Tulsa be-
cause the lodge wasn’t fin-
ished This year, the summer
institute, scheduled for June
10 28, is being moved to the
University of Oklahoma.
"What has this cost us?"
said institute president Mary
Frates. ‘We have told our
clientele we were going to be
at Quartz Mountain. Twice we
have had to move them to an-
other place. That’s not a way
to run a business.
"We are concerned about
our reputation. I hope we will
be at Quartz in the fall, but I’d
"I thought I could do it this
week," Garmon said. "But I’m
still on crutches and doing
more sitting than moving.

Break a leg!
Anybody who has ever been
in a theatrical production has
heard it and said it. Few
would actually wish it upon a
fellow actor or expect such as
painful event to happen to
him.
Altus High School drama
director Larry Mike Garmon
didn’t break his leg, but he
came close.
What he thought was a
simple sprain was actually a
torn calf muscle that has side-
lined the English and drama
teacher for a few days. Be-
cause of his injury, the last
drama club production of the
year, Ramona Quimby, has
had to be postponed twice.

a licensed veterinarian.
"We think this will make it
easier to identify the owners of
the animals," said Animal
Control Supervisor Steve
Ross. "And hopefully it will
encourage the owners to do
that."
The law also prohibits peo-
ple from owning more than
four cats or four dogs over the
age of four months.
Persons convicted of violat-
