asking all the questions he can, and he must play, and play and play the game. The old ideas of learning by doing cannot be over emphasized in athletics. Couldn’t we apply this to some of our other fields and come up with better players in every game? Our hat is off to coach Blaine Sylvester and the other members of the Athletic Department for the concern of teaching a young man to do his job the right way. At specific seasons of the year our different athletic programs display their wares for us and practice their skills on competitiors from other colleges for the benefit of touring recruiters that will offer a “job” to a surprising few each year. What is not apparent is the fact that most athletes work more months out of the year preparing for their profession than students in any other discipline. Our colleges are theoretically set up to teach our young people how to compete in the world of reality and to prepare them, in many cases, for a specific career or occupation. Although many fail to realize it this is also true of our athletic and physical education departments. Professional athletics has become a major industry in the United States, one that each year attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators and, like any other occupation, also draws scores of new aspiring competitors. Very few graduates in business become president of 4 major company and a very small number of our college athletes will eventually make it to the top of the pro ranks in their specific sport, but we should begin to see collegiate athletic programs as preparatory to entering 4 professional area and not just as a form of entertainment for the community. When viewed in this light our athletic programs take on a different appearance and even make us wonder why some of our other areas don’t offer some 0 the same “‘practical application” opportunities evident 10 the athletic and P. E. programs. Bs have, however, been hurt by injury and eligibility losses that have seen half a dozen good players leave the team. This appears to be a team that is strong on defense, but as the coach put it about his outfield, “a little slower than I would like them to be’. The pitching is strong with eight men who could come in and throw a winning ball game. { pulled Sylvester out on a limb a little and asked him for some predictions on the Big Sky, what kind of baseball town Ogden is and what advice he would give to young ball players who are serious about baseball. He returned to an earlier remark in answering my question about the chances of taking the championship this year and mentioned again that this years squad was overall a stronger team than last year and that they had better pitching. “Yes, we could take it” ... the teams to beat would be Idaho State, a team that is tough and which we must play four times and Gonzaga with an added emphasis on baseball and some good J.C. transfers added to the squad this year. In a word, the Wildcat mentor described Ogden as a “Good” baseball town and said we have an excellent facility in Affleck Park. Now, about the young man who is serious about baseball and is hopeful about a career in it. Coach Sylvester, again, has some very definite ideas about preparation, and teaching a young ball player the proper way to play the game. As in preparing for any career, the aspirant must take a real interest in what he is doing or wants to do. He must also take an interest in himself and his ability to play the game, and he must work, harder than the next guy and longer than the next guy. Finally, according to Blaine Sylvester he should find someone who knows baseball and can teach it properly and begin learning the game and Donors Donnell and Elizabeth Stewart examine tower model with Dean Stewart. The Ogden area and Weber State College are soon to have ; new landmark.

The tower is to be erected at a point west and north of the library and is to be designated the “Stewart Bell Tower” in honor of the donors, Donnell and Elizabeth Stewart of Ogden. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart are both alumni of the school and have been active supporters of Weber State for many years. Mr. Stewart was student body president of Weber in 1926 and after a distinguished career in the military service returned with his wife to Ogden upon retirement. Mrs. Stewart, the former Elizabeth Dee Shaw began her musical career at Weber and became a noted pianist and organist. The entire amount of the Tower estimated to be in excess of $100,000 dollars is being donated by Mr. and Mrs. Stewart. In recent years, gifts to the college from the Stewarts, in addition to the tower, have been applied to nearly every segment of the campus, including scholarships, student loans, purchase of equipment, building programs, library grants, marching bands and other programs. The gifts total more than $100,000.
