MARY MESSINA EDITOR By JOANNE JOHNSON KEN KOEPPER EDITOR MARK BECKER BUSINESS MANAGER Thanks to a gift from one of the state's commercial greenhouse companies, UConn will now be able to establish a graduate assistantship in floriculture research.
According to Dr. Jay Koths, professor of floriculture, 31 STAFF greenhouses covering four and a half acres (or 181.000 square feet) were donated by A.N.Pierson, Inc. florists and DAN HATCH STEVE STRAIGHT nurserymen of Cromwell. The houses have been sold to an RICH DePRETA LOIS McLEAN operator moving out of state .

A great deal of material from the hcjses will also be used to upgrade facilities on campus, he said. CHARLES MOORE Koths said Pierson chose UConn because he considers it one of the best four or five agricultural schools in the country.
' Construction problems stall Fine Arts Center opening ■ ■ .
The installment of "skylights'" in the Fine Arts Center now under construction may delay the opening of the building until Jan. 1, 1980. Harold Lewis of the Physical Plant said Tuesday. The translucent panels that form the skylights have not yet arrived. Lewis said, and may delay the opening of the : ifiisi■'•'■.■ i I building past the target date of November 1979. "They're progressing on schedule right now." Lewis noted, adding that interior plumbing and the walls within the building are still under construction. He said plans are being continued to install solar panels on the south side of the complex to provide an energy source to heat water in the building. "This is the only building on campus where solar panels have been installed outside of a purely experimental basis." Lewis said. Barring any labor strikes, Lewis expects the building, which he said is "designed functionally with high ceilings for artistic purposes" to open by the first of the year, but added strikes "are always a possibility."

SUMMER CAMPUS, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1979 PAGE 7 "Happy End" entertains at Nutmeg Playhouse BY ERIN McCORMACK For its second production, the Nutmeg Summer Playhouse presents "Happy End," by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill. The muscial, under the direction of Jaroslav Strzmien, is zany and dynamic as the Chicago gangsters of the 1920's match forces with the Salavation Army at Christ- mastime. The characters, while not developed beyond stereotypes, are uniformly well portrayed with color and energy. Strezemien fills the stage with action as the city streets come alive in vigorous, slapstick chase scenes. The production lacks only in the lackluster renditions of some of the musical numbers. At times the words are not clear and the melodies rather uninspiring. Fortunately, the dancing and the comic antics help relieve the disappointment. The story opens with a group of screwball gangsters practicing a heist.They receive their orders from a mysterious woman in gray, called "The Fly" who rules with an iron a conscience.
