Show WEBER STATE GENEROUS Recently Elizabeth Shaw Stewart (class of 1925) was proud and thrilled to play the organ for the first annual David O. McKay memorial program, sponsored by the Weber College Institute and Choir. She was a graduate of Weber High School and Weber Junior College. While attending Weber she worked on the staff of the Acorn as associate editor and had the lead in “Rollo’s Wild Oat.” Mrs. Stewart taught until she married Donnell B. Stewart who was formerly an athletic manager, a member of the basketball and track teams and student body president, and presently a Weber State College student and a member of the Alumni Board. In a recent note from Elizabeth Stewart she wrote: “Life is wonderful if it is full of challenges, rich memories, good health, and good friends. We’d love to hear from our friends from far and near. We live at 4226 College Drive, just around the bend from the wonderful new Weber State College campus.” 1919 Dr. Russell B. Petty is a dentist with his practice limited to oral surgery.

We still have this philosophy and will do all we can to mee the vocational and technical education needs of the community, the state and the nation. The division has the responsibility for the Manpower Development Training Act Programs. We have completed training programs in the following areas: Clerk Office Worker, Carpentry (3 _ programs), Power Sewing, and Licensed Practical Nursing. We are presently conducting programs in Bookkeeper 11 and Licensed Practical Nursing and we have just received approval to train dental assistants. Evening School programs are offered according to the needs of the students and of the community. The division offers trade extension or evening programs as follows: 1. Related and technical instruction to apprentices who have not yet received their journeyman certificates but who are employed on the job and must complete a program of related training; 2. Instruction to journeymen in the recent developments of their fields or to give refresher experience in their chosen occupations; 3. Short term retraining programs for those individuals or displaced persons who must learn a new skill because of the _ technological Togetherness . . . For the first time since Weber State College moved to upper campus 12 years ago, all commencement period activities will be centered on the campus.

This also is a break from tradition. Heretofore, the Baccalaureate services have been held on a Sunday morning. Due to the large crowd involved—students, parents, and COACH DICK . notes good MOTTA progress Coach Gratified By Record of Basketball Team The past basketball season has been a most gratifying year. I have stated many times that this has been the shortest season of my career. We made strides and accomplishments that were beyond even my expectations. We had two returning lettermen from last year’s second place Big Sky team, Jerry Trice and John Silbernagel. We were counting very heavily on Jon O’Dell but he signed a baseball contract half way through the summer and this presented us with a major adjustment. We knew that Greg Harrop was definitely a varsity prospect from the freshman team, but there was some question as to when he would reach the maturity to accept the responsibility of main-string status. Eddie Tillman had been in the service for two years. He had to come through. Also we counted very heavily on Bob Belka who had been on a two and a half year mission in Germany. There was really some question as to whether we would round out into good player shape or not. We were very fortunate in the fact that Gene Visscher decided to come to Weber State and play basetball; he has certainly been an asset to our program. During the summer it looked like a big jigsaw puzzle we had to try to put together and as things did turn out, as you well know, the cohesiveness of this group is almost impossible to explain. Looking ahead to next season Coach Phil Johnson and I feel that we have a definite challenge to meet the expectations of a very difficult year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the alumni and other interested people in our program for the support they have given us through the past season. We feel that Weber State College basketball program is just on the threshhold of attaining the greatness that the community so deserves. Drop into the office at any time, especially if you have a tall prospect in mind. —Coach Dick Motta others—it is considered impractical by the college administration to try to hold the commencement in the Fine Arts Center. Registrar Milton C. Mecham estimates some 600 students will be in the graduating class, including more than 400 candidates for bachelor degree diplomas. As a member of the WSC Alumni Board, I recently had the pleasure of visiting the campus resident halls. The majority of we alumni are desirous of sending our children to college. It will be necessary for many to send their children away from home to school. Where our children are going to have to live will have a definite bearing on which school is chosen for their education. Three beautiful resident halls are now a part of WSC campus. These halls, LaSalle, Wasatch and Stansbury, acquire their names from the range of mountains that surround this vicinity. LaSalle Hall is occupied by women only, Stansbury by men only, while Wasatch Hall has one wing occupied by men and one wing by women. These halls have what is known as four apartments to a floor, with six students sharing an apartment. These are divided into three bedrooms, with two students sharing a bedroom. Each apartment has shower facilities and each apartment in LaSalle Hall has a large kitchen where girls do their own cooking. A personnel assistant (counselor) occupies a bedroom on each floor and is responsible for the conduct of those living on that floor. Just inside the entrance hall is the apartment of the head resident and his wife. He must be a student on campus and assumes the responsibility of the entire hall. On the ground level is a large lounge beautifully furnished for students’ relaxation, entertainment, study, etc. Also on this level is a laundry room equipped with automatic washer and dryer and ironing facilities. These buildings have heating and air conditioning throughout. Each hall has its own student government and there are rules that must be abided by. For instance, girls must be in by 10:30 p. m. on week days, 11:00 p. m. Sundays and 1:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Penal- Eventful (Continued Year .. from Page 1) inadequate. One of our great needs now will be to increase other members of the division our library volumes of 64,000 by an additional 100,000 as rapidly as possible. The 1965 Utah Legislature provided $9,805,000 of funds for additional buildings and campus improvements. The $3,000,000 science building should be under construction shortly after July 1, 1965. Other buildings will include an administration building, a maintenance building, and $4,750,000 for additional classroom space. These will be under construction as soon as plans are ready. ACCREDITATION Weber State College is accredited as a four-year degreegranting institution by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. This is the agency that accredits all public and private colleges and universities in Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. —wWilliam P. Miller, President. ties are given those not abiding by the hours, untidy rooms, disorderly conduct, ete. and may result in dismissal if overdone. The front doors are the only means of entrance into the halls and when visitors arrive stu- dents are and called inter-com by a buzzer system. Upon entering school each student chooses a physician and he in turn is notified or summoned in case of illness. Arrangements are made through the contract price for living at the halls, for students to eat at the campus cafeteria. Students from Wasatch Hall mainly, take advantage of this. Wasatch Hall differs from the other halls by its housing of both men and women. The two wings are separated by a large lounge and each floor also has a lounge. I found these residence halls to be neat and clean and run in an orderly manner. I would send a child of mine here to live with the utmost confidence. Library Building 60% Completed Work on the $1.5 million library building is approximately 60 per cent finished, librarian James R. Tolman reported this week. First phases of the ornate structure include two stories and a basement, with provisions for adding two floors at a future time. The schedule calls for completion of the building in time for the opening of the fall term next September. The edifice will have 71,000 square feet. Facilities include 13 temporary classrooms, which will be closed out as the book stock enlarges from its present 60,000 volumes to 200,000. Other facilities include the main library space, reading areas, an elevator, and an air conditioning system. The bricks will be in a dark tan mixture that will both harmonize and contrast with the masonry on surrounding structures. When the books are removed into the new library from their present location in the Life Science building, the vacated space will be converted into badly needed classrooms.
