Show TRANSIT CHANGE INVADES CAMPUS FOR the first time within the memory of this year's students, Weber College has opened its doors while the nation is at war. The war-time enrollment brought about by world conditions has created many changes and revisions in college life as it has been known in the past. One of the outstanding contributions to the new era has been the appearance of men and women mechanic learners, whose uniforms have added new life to the campus. These students are contributing a great and important addition to the defense program and to the nation's war effort. The presence of such an industrious and essential group of workers is welcomed by a patriotic student body and faculty. The shortage of labor is being felt all over the school, but determined students and instructors are redoubling their efforts in order to keep Weber functioning as smoothly as possible. Cooperation is becoming more and more essential if school is to go on as usual. Below, President H. A. Dixon takes waxing tools in hand and sets out to make matinee dances successful, regardless of labor shortages or official duties. Such is the spirit of cooperation. 26 AUTUMN, 1942 Collegiate minded freshmen are finding individual instruction a definite aid in straightening out the problems that puzzle their unoriented minds. At upper left, freshman Carolyn Clayton receives the personal attention of Instructor R. S. Gray. Sophomore Marian Lund is shown, upper center, taking an afternoon stroll with freshmen Gordon Smith and Dee Anderson an illustration of this year's "two to one" ratio in enrollment. A chemical experiment and lab technique are displayed at upper right. The science classes have not felt the decreased enrollment felt in the other departments, but are kept busy fostering the talents and determined efforts of many untiring students. While all departments throughout the school are suffering from the labor shortage, the library is a typical example of the adjustments and changes which, out of necessity, have arisen Library hours have been limited and the two librarians are most competent, but it is nevertheless difficult to be in five places at once. 27 |
