people now enrolled in our colleges and universities, and in the dedicated educators that staff and administer them, his speech was offered as a somber warning of what may happen should morality not be given equal time in our programs, and the minority of vocal activists be allowed to dictate policy while they are Wirber State briefly “tenants.” This year’s celebration also saw the presentation of the Offers second annual H.

Packer a The 1971 Founder’s Observance luncheon was held Friday, May 8th in the Union Ballroom on the Weber State campus. Dr. Boyd K. Packer, former Weber student and member of the quorum of Twelve of the LDS Church, was the featured speaker. Approximately 200 people from the campus and the community attended the affair to hear Dr. Packer and witness the presentation of the second annual H. Aldous Dixon Memorial Award to Dr. Reed K. Swenson. The general message of Dr. Packer’s address centered around the word “‘Founder” as a noun and as a verb. A point was made of the fact that ““Founder” as a noun referred to one who founds or establishes and is a very positive word. On the other hand “founder” as a verb means to falter, to stumble, to collapse, to give away, to come to grief, to fail. Dr. Packer went on to speak of the role of students on campuses today, and the situation we presently find ourselves in. The speaker referred to students at our institutions as tenants, and compared the rights they should presently enjoy with the privileges of the rentor, as compared to the landlord. The audience was also reminded of a number of points of history that should have special meaning to us. Dr. Packer quoted extensively from the writings of Sir Winston Churchill, who had stated that every tie between man and man had been destroyed during World War II, and that we were presently entering one of those times in history when the basest thoughts and ideas pass without notice and become acceptable. Dr. Packer stated that there is a great deal of evidence at many of the colleges in our country that the word “founder” is used as a verb. He spoke of the trouble now in the world that we have never known before, but also applauded the greatness of our youth and the bright hope they offer. He then reminded the administrators that the colleges were here long before the present students and will be here long after their brief stay. He further stated that there ought to be prime and conscious responsibility to maintain moral stability on college campuses. Time was given by the speaker to the past decision of the Supreme Court forbidding prayer in public schools, and he spoke of Athiesm as a religious expression that should get no more consideration on the campus than other forms of religious expression. He stated, that we ought to have more protection from the agnostic and from the tenant who is only here for awhile, but wants to burn the house down while he is here. He closed, by quoting again from Winston Churchill in commenting on the agression of the Second World War, and stating “That the success of the aggression was due to the fact that the malice of the wicked was fortified by the weakness of the virtuous.” Although the speaker assured the assemblage that he had great faith in the young Sate VO FOUND OR LO FOUNDER During Fall Quarter 1971 Weber State College will embark on a new educational experiment in international travel-study. A group of students from the school will depart Ogden during early September for Europe where they will spend the fall quarter studying a variety of subjects in Weber State’s first quarter abroad. This program, conducted in conjunction with the Foreign Study League of Salt Lake City will allow the students to take credit courses in such varied subjects as Comparative European Governments, Geography of Europe, Art History, and the German Language. The object of this program will be to give the students a chance to study in a foreign environment and see firsthand the object of their scholarship. The program will include stops in Luxembourg, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria. The majority of time will be spent in Vienna where classes will be conducted in English, in classrooms made available through an institute there. The faculty size and variety will depend upon the number of students enrolling in the program. One additional faculty member will be added for each twenty students enrolling in the program. Dr. Deon C. Greer will direct the program and will also teach classes in Geography and Political Science. Mr. Arthur Adelmann will also accompany the program if sufficient enrollment is achieved and will teach courses in Art and Art History. Dr. Joseph Dixon will also accompany the group if an additional twenty enroll for courses and he will teach courses in European History. German will be made available through a native instructor using a Weber State syllabus. The group will visit the major art and governmental centers of Europe and will see firsthand the dynamic changes which are taking place in the continent. The entire experience will cost $1378.00 plus Weber State tuition whose price is about $400.00 below comparable semesters abroad conducted by other schools in the country. In order to help scholarly students attend, the Foreign Study League will offer a $125.00 stipend to any student with a 3.5 cumulative grade point average. An attempt is also being made to obtain a few full scholarships for economically disadvantaged students who would not otherwise be able to participate in the program. Members of the group will arrive back in Ogden just prior to Christmas so that they may spend the holidays with their families and rest up for winter quarter. Registration for the Autumn 1971 quarter abroad is still open and any Weber State college alumnus is eligible. Any interested parties should contact the Division of Continuing Education at Weber State for details and registration forms.
