The work” of With the arrival of spring it comes time again to clear off the diamond and get ready for the baseball season. For many years baseball did not enjoy the prominance on the college campus that basketball or football did, however in the last few years, the pro scouts have been going more to the college teams for their major league material and college baseball has enjoyed a renewal of interest both from the competitor and the spectator. Weber State has one of the finest baseball programs in the area and is fortunate in having an excellent coach who has spent better than a dozen years in baseball as a coach and player. Blaine Sylvester, head baseball coach at Weber State played his high school ball at East High School in Salt Lake City where he caught the eye of coaches from the University of Utah. At the U. Blaine played both freshman basketball and baseball and in his sophomore year was a starting pitcher on the baseball squad. A good left handed pitcher with size and strength, Sylvester was named to the All-Conference team and the All District Seven team his junior and senior year. After graduation from the University of Utah he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals and played in their system for four years. After tising to the AAA International League where he was pitching for Rochester, New York, Blaine developed the curse of all pitchers — a sore arm and retired from active player status. pone Sylvester believes strongly in teaching the Pe mentals of the game of baseball, and in teaching . properly. As a former pitcher he can understand the ms of the boy in the little league or the high school ue who has some promise but is mishandled and in, a izes his full potential because he has been 1 to throw too hard and too often during his Papi shown will be his “Hoffmann Suite”’. 7 eee The exhibit schedule for 1970-71 is not completely set up as yet, but we are able to tell you that there will be the annual Alumni, Faculty and Student shows and that Farrell Collett our Department Chairman will have 4 one-man show. Also definite is an exhibit from the California Watercolor Society and an exhibit of Korean Painting. Next fall we will publish and mail the completed” ; exhibit schedule for the school year 1970-71. It should be the best yet. , Our plans for the future include hosting a nationé invitational exhibit and inviting artists of national an@ international reputation to show their work at Weber” State College. It is also our goal to purchase excellent: works of art in order to build our permanent collections” Occasionally someone makes a donation that brings art A the college.
