L.J. Burton; honors lecturer The face of hope, Cheer- leader U.S. Congressman Laurence J. Burton, a distinguished Alumnus and former Weber faculty member recently returned to the Weber State campus to deliver the second address of the John J. Cortez Family Honors Lecture Program. Mr. Burton’s lecture was entitled “The Inner Workings of Congress” and was delivered to a capacity gathering in the Fine Arts Auditorium. The lecture was attended my many college officials and faculty members, as well as by Mrs. Inez Truscott of Salt Lake City, a daughter of Mr. John J. Cortez. It is through a trust presented to the college last year by Mrs. Truscott that the Honors Lecture Program is made possible. Mrs. Truscott first became acquainted with Congressman Burton while he was campaigning for the Congress. She has been a strong supporter of the Congressman and stated her pleasure in his selection as Honors Lecturer. The purpose of the John J. Cortez Family Honors Lecture Program is to give recognition to outstanding individuals who have excelled in various fields and also to increase the cultural offerings of Weber State College. Dr. Jennings G. Olson is honors program director at the College. After Mr. Burtons address he and members of his family were honored at a luncheon in the Union Building. Representative Burton and his family were joined at lunch by Mrs. Truscott, members of the administration, faculty, Institutional council, student government, the press and friends. At the informal luncheon Representative Burton voiced his appreciation to Mrs. Truscott for being selected to give the Cortez lecture and spoke again of his great devotion to Weber State College and the influence it has had on his family. Representative Burton was freshman class president at Weber in 1944-45 and student body president in 1948. Mrs. Burton, the former Janice Shupe of North Ogden, was vice president of the student body during her undergraduate days at Weber. The Burton family is presently represented at Weber State by the Congressman’s daughter Carol. Prior to the luncheon Representative Burton appeared at a press conference for students where he answered questions posed to him on various topics of interest to students. The Congressman made no prepared statement but gave students the benefit of his views on the Vietnam war, new draft laws and campus and civil unrest. In answering questions concerning the latter Representative Burton took a firm stand against campus riots and attempted college take-overs, re-emphasizing his view that such actions constitute civil disobedience and should be met with force.
