| Description |
The Weber State College Oral History Program was created in the early 1970s to "record and document, through personal reminiscences, the history, growth and development of Weber State College." Through interviews with administrators, faculty and students, the program's goal was to expand the documentary holdings on Weber State College and its predecessor entities. From 1970 to 1976, the program conducted some fifteen interviews, under the direction of, and generally conducted by Harold C. Bateman, an emeritus professor of history. In 1979, under the direction of archivist John Sillito, the program was reestablished and six interviews were conducted between 1979 and 1983. Additional interviews were conducted by members of the Weber State community. |

| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is an audio clip from an oral history interview with Christian P. Hansen. "Most of our merchants they closed their stores at 6:00 Saturdays. But, Sears Roebuck they kept open until 9:00. So I tried to get Sears and Roebuck to quit at 9:00 [6:00] like the rest of ‘em. I went to the management there, at the Sears and Roebuck, and they said, "We don't know what we can do about it because that's our policy all over the United States. We keep all our stores open until 9:00. Well I says, “I wish you'd cooperate with the ZCMI and Auerbach’s and Walker’s and all the rest of them that closed at 6:00pm. I think you oughta go along, do the same that they do here in Salt Lake But, anyway I sent a telegram to San Francisco to the coast, to their office and I didn't seem to get very much cooperation and they had made a rule that they kept open until 9:00 and that was it." |
