Students Attend Leadership Conference More than 120 student leaders attended the annual leadership conference at Park City, Utah, just prior to fall quarter registration. Theme of the three-day conference was "Strength Through Understanding." The HEAD (Human Endeavors for Advanced Development) sessions were introduced and directed by WSC faculty member James B. Condie. Under the HEAD system, students were divided into groups of ten and they met twice each day to discuss personal and general problems. Highlighting the conference were speeches by President William P. Miller and Pat Murray, a forestry expert from Albuquerque, New Mexico. A total of 25 sports trophies were awarded for horseback riding, volleyball, and golf. Unofficial contests included midnight races down the hallways of Treasure Mountain Inn, elevator stuffing competition, and a poker game which was never located. A final activity included the arrest of 50 students for trespassing on private property. They were released to the custody of Curits Smout on 15 cents bail. Nearly 50 students stand behind bars in Park City's "old west" jail, on charges of haunted house trespassing. Tom Welch, leadership committeeman, models his bright red birthday present as he dances with Dick Bowman. Lectures on leadership were held in general sessions of the conference. Volleyball was one of many activities during recreation day on the mountain top high above Park City. |
