Show ARTS, LETTERS, AND SCIENCE The newest lecture building on campus is affectionately known as "El Sombrero," and is the pride and joy of the Physical Science department of Weber State College. The Physics department is particularly happy with the building because ten large echo chambers form the building's main complex. Within these echo chambers the professor can very effectively demonstrate to the student the ability of sound to bounce off of walls, ceilings, and floors. These ten new echo chamber-lecture halls have also resulted in greater preparedness on the part of the Weber State College science faculty. The faculty member must now be better prepared to face his classes and can no longer show a movie to cover his unpreparedness. The echo chambers have precluded any possibility of showing movies - no one could possibly hear them. Most professors are especially happy with the small classrooms on the The School has been organized to bring about a greater integration, unity and meaning to the ever-growing and rapidly increasing body of knowledge. Students completing baccalaureate programs in the School will be granted either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree. They may have departmental majors in the following fields: Applied Physics, Art, Botany, Chemistry, Commercial Art, English, Foreign Languages (French, German, Spanish), Geography, Geology, History, Journalism, Mathematics, Medical Technology, Microbiology, Music, Physics, Political Science, Psychology Sociology, Speech, Theatre Arts, and Zoology. Dean Dello G. Dayton second floor of "El Sombrero," and are also happy with the cooperation given by the Buildings and Grounds department. An excellent example of this cooperation is demonstrated through Weber State's climatology course. When the lecture of the day is dealing with the tropics, the classroom temperature is accommodatingly set at 100 degrees, and when the lecture is dealing with polar regions, the temperature is usually in the thirties. This advanced planning helps to impress the subject upon the students, but has resulted in some drowsiness during tropical lectures and cases of double pneumonia as a result of polar lectures. In conclusion, the science faculty is quite happy with "El Sombrero" and invites the studentbody to make full use of its facilities, including its one drinking fountain! Don R.
