the Associated Students of Weber College, the Sophomore Class, the Freshman class, A.M.S., A. W.S., and the various committees, councils, and clubs. The following committees were active on the new campus: assemblies, publicity, standards, social activities, awards, eligibility, elections, Inter-Club Council, A.M.S., and A.W.S. Each of the above committees had faculty representatives. The Standards Committee had a majority of its membership from the faculty. With the move to the new campus, student government and the administration set in motion the collection of funds to build a student center on campus which would house student government and student activities. There were many reasons for the changes taking place. Education is dynamic and must change in order to be of value. This was an era of change in activities and on the emphasis of activities as a vital part of the educational system. The change from a junior to a senior college added responsibility to student government. The move to the new campus gave additional responsibility to students in planning and executing activities. When the Union Building was approved and students had an investment in this facility, they looked forward to using it and assisting in the management of the facility. Although the concept was new on the Weber campus, the students soon realized that they would have a facility which could be used as a laboratory for out-of-class activities. The old C.I. now became known as the T.U.B. or temporary union building. Porter Butts was hired as a consultant in the planning of the new Union. Mr. Butts was director of the Wisconsin Union and was known as the foremost authority on unions and their purpose in the world. A planning committee was organized on April 23,1950 with Dr. Robert A. Clarke as chairman. This committee was to tour all the western United States and visit various campuses studying the various unions and their operations. Keith Wilcox was hired as the architect for the project and the building was now becoming a reality. On May 13, I960 the first shovel of dirt was turned over at the site of the new Weber College Union Building. Those participating in the ceremony included Dr. Robert A. Clarke, Dean of Faculty; Dr. William P. Miller, College President; Paul Child, Student Body Treasurer; Kathy Kit-tock, Vice President of the Student Body; and Lynn Taylor, Business Manager of the Student Body. James C. Hurst, former Weber Student Body President and student member of the Weber Union Building Planning Committee, gave the dedicatory prayer. M. Morrin and Sons was hired to construct the Union. On April 14,1961 two new administrative posts at Weber College were created. The office of Dean of students and director of the Student Union Building. Dr. Merle E. Allen, Associate Professor of Education and former Director of Student Guidance Services and Counseling, was appointed Dean of Students and J. Farrell Shepherd, manager of the College Bookstore since 1946, was appointed Director of the Union Building. Dr. William D. Stratford resigned as Dean of Men and Milton C. Mecham was appointed to that position. The appointment of a Dean of Students was patterned after other senior institutions, and the office was responsible for all student affairs. Although unofficially the C.I. and T.U.B. had carried out many of the functions of a union, April 14,1961 was the first official authorization to move ahead.On August 11,1961, Gerald L. Shupe was hired as Program Director. Monty, as he was known, was a very creative and dedicated person and related well to the students under his direction. Two boards were chosen to direct and conduct the affairs of the Union a Policy Board to determine policy and an Activities Board to plan the activities. The following members were chosen before June 28, 1961 to serve as the first Activities Board: Larry Bryant, Tom Yea, Carole Fisher, Kent VandeGraff, Carrie Lynn Osborn, Val Parish, and Lorilee Hayes. These students were approved by the Policy Board. Plans to occupy the building in September of 1961 were rapidly completed. The Activities Board held regular meetings during the summer and assisted with the dedication program scheduled for September 25, 1961. Duane Hedin was hired as Games Area Manager, and his responsibilities included the bowling alley and the promotion of the area in general. He was also to organize student bowling teams to compete with other colleges and universities. A faculty and alumni bowling league was also organized. Duane was followed as manager of the games area by Tom Kiernan. The Prophet Company was contracted as the catering company to provide catering on campus. Charles Smiley was the first manager of Food Service, he was followed by Peter Marker, and later by Joe Mallory. Glendon Jensen and Lamar Davis were in charge of the custodial work. Ross Kennedy was hired to run the barber shop, and Lyle P. Richins was hired as manager of the bookstore. At the dedication of the first phase of the Union, President William P. Miller said: A college education should not only assist individuals to make a living but in addition, it should assist these individuals to make a life. This dual purpose of higher education has been accepted by the many higher institutions of the country for many years. As a result, in addition to academic classes, colleges and universities have incorporated into their total offerings a rich program of out-of-class activities. Through participation in these activities, students have been given opportunities to develop personal qualities that lead to good citizenship. The Weber College Union has been constructed to provide facilities for these out-of-class activities. It will be operated primarily by students for students, although it will also be available to Weber College faculty, staff, alumni and the community. Many students undoubtedly remember the temporary union building (T.U.B. as it was more affectionately referred to by some of the sentimental groups on campus). Just as the T.U.B. served as the center for leisure activity, the magnificent new Weber College Union rapidly became the axis of campus life. Even though its overwhelming popularity necessitated the designation of pedestrian lanes to accommodate Union Building traffic, no one can deny the contributions the Union has made to life on campus. They have been worth more than their weight in gold. The students now looked at activities which expanded the boundaries of the campus and community. On November 15,1961 a nationally known group of singers called The Hi-Los were brought to the Weber campus. The concert was planned and carried out by a student committee. Franz J. Polgar, a hypnotist, entertained the students with his skill. Max
