railroad centers and had many things in common so they became natural rivals. Many students traveled from Ogden to Pocatello to attend games between the two schools. In as much as both cities were railroad centers, it was natural that the railroad ought to be interested in this rivalry.We contacted the Union Pacific Railroad and made arrangements for a game train to run from Ogden to Pocatello. It was a great success and while the interchange lasted, trains carrying from six to nine hundred students made the trip. When the train arrived at Pocatello we were greeted by the student body officers and marched from the train to the University where we were all given lunch. When the train came from Pocatello to Ogden, we became hosts to their school and hosted the lunch. In route, baggage cars were turned into dance floors and much fun was had by all. The teams also traveled on the trains. It was during this time that it was thought appropriate that we should have a traveling trophy between the two schools. As the railroad was prominent in the two cities, why not a bell from an old steam engine. After contacting the railroad officials in Ogden, we were told that these bells were nonexistent. We made various efforts to try to locate our chosen trophy but to no avail. We gave up and started looking for something else, when many months later, I received a large box addressed to me at the Union Building which came from Omaha, Nebraska labeled electric motor. When we opened the box there was a well polished bell from an old steam engine all mounted on a frame. We now had our traveling trophy. Earl Pond and his staff from Idaho State University were very cooperative in sponsoring these events. Although the rivalry was sometimes bitter between the schools, I think these social events made them more pleasant. In 1966-1967 the Union Policy Board voted to ask for another 2.5 million for an addition to the Union Building. Although the present facility was so much larger than the space enjoyed by the students before and many skeptics said that we would never use all the space, we had now outgrown the new facility. Credit should be given to those of the Administration who had the foresight and fortitude to push for the new addition. President Miller was very supportive of the project and assigned a committee which was headed by R. A. Clarke to decide what additional facilities were needed. Keith Wilcox was hired as architect. James R. Foulger was given the responsibility to obtain the loans necessary for the addition. Through his financial expertise, many facilities are now in place on campus. I respect each of these great leaders for their foresight. Although there were skeptics, the theme of the day was full speed ahead which proved to be a wise decision. Later activities which had been sponsored by the student government and the Activities Board worthy of mention included Philosophy Emphasis Week. A bridal show was jointly sponsored by Z.C.M.I, and the student committees, and each Christmas a party was sponsored for children of the faculty and students. Another popular event was the annual dinner dance. In 1968-1969 the new addition to the Union Building was completed. The college now had facilities which could accommodate the largest activities in Ogden. The ballroom would accommodate twelve to fifteen hundred for dances, dinners or lectures. That year C.A.B. (College Activities Board) sponsored the Region 13 ACU-I Regional Conference. The schools involved were the University of Arizona, Arizona State, Northern Arizona, Southern Utah State College, Idaho State, Colorado, Colorado State, Northern Colorado State, the University of Utah, Utah State University, Brigham Young University, and the University of Wyoming. This was not the first involvement Weber State had had in the region. Each year the students traveled to various other universities to regional conferences. These conferences were at the University of Arizona at Tucson with a side trip to old Mexico, Arizona State at Tempe, University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado State at Fort Collins, University of Wyoming at Laramie, Brigham Young University, University of Utah, Utah State University, and Southern Utah State College at Cedar City. We were always well represented and respected for the type of students which attended WSC. Im sure the program that was produced by Dick Brown and company at Colorado State will be remembered by those in attendance. Weber College was well known throughout the region, and people no longer were asking who is Weber College? As the new addition was added to the Union other changes were taking place in the organization. Monty Shupe became Assistant Director of the Union. Ray Myers was hired as Coordinator of Student Activities. Ray was a very creative person and one of the programs which was organized at this time was the singing group known as Good Company. This group served as a high school relations group and visited most of the high schools in this area singingfor assemblies. They were an outstanding group and were the forerunner of the program bureau headed by Dick Davis. With the Colleges growth and expansion, student activities and student government were also growing and developing a new style and philosophy. In 1966 Curtis Smout was hired as Coordinator of Student Government under the direction of the Student Union. It was felt that more emphasis and direction should be given so student government became less interested in sponsoring activities and more active in their role of representation and addressing the many concerns of the students to the administration. The ASWSC (Associated Students of Weber State College) began to be more responsible to the students and provided better representation of the various areas of the College. The ASWSC constitution was revised and patterned after the national Constitution with an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judicial branch. Students were elected and appointed to the various positions. With the new constitution, Dr. Dello Dayton retired as the official advisor to the student government. Dr. Alan Dayley, the Dean of Students, became an advisor in addition to Curtis Smout. Although student government sponsored fewer activities, their interest in the quality of activities was not diminished. The student leaders became more involved in the political matters of the institution and were influential in many of the reforms they felt needed to be addressed. The student leaders developed a better process of budgeting the student activity fees and long discussions between the executive and legislative branches of their government were held with the people
