However, without the pledge of alumni, many programs will not see their end result. One such program is the completion of the Alumni Center, presently under construction. The center is funded entirely from private donations. It will truly be a positive part of the WSU campus and the community, strengthening the foundation of the alumni and building on the future goals and mission of the school. Although construction has begun, the alumni still need donations, but more importantly, the support and vote of all alumni. I strongly urge all alumni to become active and have a voice in this organization. A Values-driven Company Composed of Values-driven People INTEGRITY ».EXCELLENCE SERVICE - AMOR NB.

SENSITIVITY “INTEGRITY fe Necia Palmer ALUMNI INTEGRITY BUSINESS It seems ironic that I learned the true power of the press while in a country that doesn’t officially have “freedom of the press.” It was during an excursion to the Soviet-seized press building and radio station and to the fortressed Lithuanian Parliament building last January that I learned how accurate reporting stopped killing at the radio tower and prevented the mass murder of some 80,000 people who surrounded the Parliament building. I hope alumni become part of Project Lithuania through correspondence with Vytautas Magnus University and through donations to Weber State to help defray the costs of maintaining contact with the Baltic university.

We know you will give our alumni and friends wonderful news about WSU and also about what we in the Alumni Association are doing. We look forward to future issues. - SERVICE IRE We say that athletics benefits students and the community, but it’s a lie. The major purpose of football and basketball in today’s colleges and universities is commercial entertainment. When a university promotes athletics, it’s the athletes who really lose. We cheat the student-athletes, the regular students and the taxpayers. It is estimated that in the early 21st century, America will be short 750,000 scientists and engineers, but we will have an abundance of TV spokesmen for basketball shoes. Weber State needs to have the courage to drop out of the NCAA, end intercollegiate sports and put money back into physical education, club sports and real academics. - EXCELLENCE ATHLETIC = he - - - LEADERSHIP INTEGRITY
