Handicap Awareness Day The First Annual Handicap Awareness Day was created to increase understanding of the disable person's world. It was sponsored by the A.S.W.S.C. Student Services office in cooperation with the Social Work Club and the Weber State College Disabled Students. A variety of people participated, both handicapped and non-handicapped alike. Administrators, faculty and students combined efforts with guest speaker, Barbara Smith to make Handicap Awareness Day the first in the state and a new Weber State College tradition. Chairman: Stephanie DeGraw, Student Services Vice President Assistant: Michelle Blake Students were able to play Wheelchair Basketball and Beeper Baseball. Social Science Week Social Science Week was topped off with the convocation appearance of William Colby, former director of the CIA. The convocation was one of several activities held in conjunction with the week. The week began Tuesday with a debate featuring two members of the Weber State Debate Team, David Allen and Bill McGaha, who discussed the rights of accused persons in the American judicial system. A faculty/student brown bagger was held, in which Captain Robert Dabling of the WSC ROTC Program showed slides and discussed his recent fact-finding trip to Communist China. The Academic Senate, in conjunction with the Social Science Area Council, sponsored an essay contest on "Career Opportunities in the Social Sciences." The first place prize of $100 cash went to Therese Allen. Second place in the contest went to Bill McGaha, with the third place going to Sheryl Chase-Chapman.
