Show UNION STATION a coffeehouse featuring live entertainment on weekends in the Union, opened January 19, 1974, after a quarter of inactivity and vandalism. Entertainment ranged from folk blues and bluegrass music to contemporary rock. Several outside groups included "Sunshade 'n Rain" and "Silver Mind Mountain Band", although Union Station committee chairman Paul Cannon stated that the majority of performers would be WSC students. The Union Station was designed to provide inexpensive (only 75 per couple and 50 per person) entertainment for students who were tired of going to the usual movie or concert. Environmental conditions of the WSC campus and surrounding community were the main concerns of the ECOLOGY COMMITTEE. Meeting with ecology committees of U of U and USU, the group compared notes about local problems and the ecological problems of Utah as a whole. The inter-college discussions also included formulation of ideas for the celebration of Earth Week, held April 22-26. President of the Ecology Committee, Scott Barney, stated that the committee's primary goal was to educate the people of the campus and community and bring them to a better understanding of their environment. The FILMS COMMITTEE worked to get popular films available for viewing by WSC students. Committee members advertised and ran the projectors for such movies as THE GODFATHER, FRENZY, CAMELOT, THE CANDIDATE, and THE FRENCH CONNECTION.
