Live music, dancing, and an array of special effects invade the Planetarium next week during a special series of five free presentations entitled "Flight." A product of Air Force Major N orman Sauvage, " Flight" is an aerospace multim edia show that d epicts the history of aviation from ancient "fowls in the air" through the sweeping space age psyched eli a. Picture, if you can, the s proutings of 16 slide a nd motion picture projectors, on-again-off-again kaleidoscoping the huge Planetarium dome with a historical montage of subtle flight images, while leotard-clad dancers s1mulating the motion of a bird are bathed in stop action strobes. Then add little girls dressed in Chinese costumes with incense wafting thro ugh the room; moon rocks growing to encompass the dome in blazing color; and live television featuring the audience. If this is beginning to grip your mind, consider stewardesses serving food and coffee; lunar walkers waltzing overhead while music from the most traditional to the most modern plays, sometimes at the same time. Although Maj. Sauvage has constantly updated his piece of art, this remains a fair depiction of"Flight." " We incorporated new films, light effects, musical changes, improved television, radio communications, revised choreography and visual script changes which enhanced an already vital show," explains Sauvage. " The enthusiastic responses we' ve received are most rewarding for the hundreds of people who have worked so hard to make the show a success." No reservations are needed for any of the fiv e performances; Wednesday , March 15 at 7:15 and 8:30 p.m. , and Friday , March 17 at noon , 7:15 and 8:30p. m .

in connection with an incident that took place two years ago. Burns and two others have previously been indicted by the Pueblo County grand jury on these charges, but both were thrown out of co urt on technicalities. Burns, who says that the charges against him are "groundless", received college staff support at the February board meeting. After the Board met in executive session they emerged with a statement in support of Bums, saying: " The Boar d of Palomar College is fully cognizant of the charges alleged against Dr. Bur ns. We approved a ppointment of Dr. B urns last J uly based upon the recommendations of two college comm ittees which fo und hi m to possess exceptio n al qualificatons for th e position. "We have leamed nothing t h at wo uld lead us to believe that Dr. B urns is n ot f u lly qu alified a nd able to do his job; i n fact, h is performance at Palomar has been outstanding He has our fullest support." Burns commented that he felt overwhelmed with the supportive response from staff members and student the last few weeks. He also feels that the matter will soon be disposed of without involving him further. Burns went on to say that the Pueblo District Attorney, Joseph LaSavio, has himself been indicted for malfeasance of office and has been censured by the Pueblo bar for misuse of the grand jury system and harrassment of citizens. LaSavio is presently up for recall as well. LaSavio did not deny the charges, but replied that he (LaSavio) had had few run-ins with some people, who as a result wanted to see him out of office.
