the college were met in a variety of ways including a freeze on hiring and closing the campus for a two week period during the Christmas holidays to save on fuel, power, and salaries. Individual positions and programs were cut to meet budget needs and a surcharge on credit hours taken and tuition increases were other means of meeting budget problems and expanding revenues. Enrollments for the 1978 Fall Quarter hit 8,838. Athletics continued to be important. During the summer of 1978, the Weber State mens basketball team, the Chatonelles marching group, athletic department officials, and college administrators traveled to Taiwan and Hong Kong for a series of games and exhibitions. During the Fall of 1978, the Wildcat football team traveled to Rice Stadium to play the University of Utah, and the Utes won by a score of 30 to 7. For a period during the 1979-1980 school year, the Weber mascot, Waldo the Wildcat, was substituted for by Primo Peacock. The peacock proved to be unsatisfactory after a portion of the basketball season, and the fans cheered Waldos return. During December of 1980, Mike Price became Webers head football coach. Weber has won the All Sports Trophy in the Big Sky Conference eight times since the Conference was organized (1967-1968,1968-1969, 1969-1970, 1977-1978, 1978-1979, 1979-1980, 1982-1983, and 1984-1985). Through the 1987-1988 school year, Weber has won 38 team titles outright and tied for six more which places Weber at the top of the winners list in the conference with a total of 44. Thirteen of the conference championships were in golf, three in baseball, twelve in basketball, three in cross country, two in football, one in indoor track, eightin tennis, and two in wrestling. Women athletes at Weber enjoyed success in a variety of sports. The 1973, 1974, and 1975 womens softball teams won the state championship and each year went to the National College World Series. The 1981-1982 Lady Wildcat basketball team were the champions of the Mountain Division of the Intermountain Athletic Conference. The 1981-1982 Lady Wildcat golf team won the A.I.A.W. (Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women) Division II national golf championship with three team members, Heidi Wallin, Kerri Clark, and Lori Vegwert named as All Americans. The golf team won the Small College National Golf Championship during 1984-1985. The 1983-1984 Mountain West Conference Indoor Track Championship was won by the Lady Wildcats, and the Lady Wildcat tennis team won four consecutive Mountain West tennis championships in 1984-1985, 1985-1986, 1986-1987, and 1987-1988. Campus development continued as a 50,000 anonymous donation to the college made possible the construction of an information building located near the front of the campus during 1979. During the summer of 1978, a new phone system known as Dimension 2000 which was to expedite direct dialing was installed on campus through the Edith Dee Mack Green Foundation. Wade and Harold Mack donated 156,000 to the college for a marquee and west entrance way to the Dee Events Center during 1978. The old technical education building was remodeled beginning in 1979 to provide more functional space for the School of Technology. In October of 1978, the new college administration building was named in honorof former President William P. Miller, who responded to the honor paid him by noting that many had helped in the growth of Weber over the years. Miller suggested that developing a school isnt a one-man show ever. Miller had been president of the college while the student body grew from 1,500 to over 8,000 students. For a short period of time early in the 1980s the college experimented with possible uses of the old St. Benedicts Hospital Building for the college, and Weber became involved in the establishment of an Area Vocational Center in partnership with the Weber and Ogden School Districts. In 1982, announcement was made of a gift of 1,000,000 from the J. Willard Marriott Family Foundation to the School of Allied Health Sciences, and it was decided that the new Allied Health Sciences building should be named in honor of J. Willard Marriott who had been a student at Weber during the 1920s. Construction for the 6.1 million Marriott Allied Health Sciences building began during the summer of 1984, and the four floors of the building included 59,000 square feet of space. Completion of the building was delayed in part because of drainage problems and the unstable nature of the hillside on which the building was being constructed. In October of 1983, the Croft Arboretum was dedicated as part of Homecoming Week. A. Russell Croft, a former faculty member, and Irene H. Croft donated the funds for the trees which were planted on the hillside to the east of the Stewart Library. Members of the community and the alumni have provided much needed financial assistance to the college. Val A. Browning gave the college a one million dollar cultural arts endowment and morerecently, a charitable lead trust in excess of 1.5 million dollars which provided funds for the School of Technology, the School of Arts and Humanities, and unrestricted funds for programs of merit across the campus. Nearly one million dollars was received from the Dee Smith family for a variety of needs including business scholarships, family life programs, and athletic support. Businessman Willard L. Eccles provided 500,000 for an endowed chair in business and D. Wade Mack provided similar funds for an endowed chair in the School of Allied Health Sciences. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Evans Austad have announced a deferred gift of approximately one million dollars for the establishment of an art museum or gallery or as an endowment in support of such a facility. The Foundation for the Future was the name given to the colleges centennial capital gift campaign which was sponsored by the Weber State College Foundation and directed by Ogden businessman, John Hinckley. Gifts from foundations, alumni, businesses, and friends of the college are expected to total over 13.1 million dollars. The college continued to provide entertainment and culture for the campus and for the community. Plays and musicals included Androcles and the Lion, Kiss Me Kate, Measure for Measure, Hamlet, Camelot, Fiddler on the Roof, and As You Like It. Some of the performers and speakers who visited the college during the decade included Mark Russell, Kenneth Cooper, Eugene McCarthy, Phyliss Schlafly, Alger Hiss, Fleetwood Mac, Dick Gregory, Howard Jarvis, Seals and Crofts, Peter Nero, Elliot L. Richardson, Dave Brubeck, Charlton Heston, G. Gordon Liddy, Johnny Cash, Alex Haley, Olivia
