Mount Ogden Campus Enters Building Stage With appropriation of another $100,000 by the state to add to the original $1,000,000 grant, and with allocation of essential steel to commence building, the Weber College dream of a new campus at the base of Mt. Ogden is "in the construction stage." "If all goes well, the buildings will be ready for occupancy by the student body and faculty a year from next fall," said Dr. Robert A. Clarke, dean of the faculty. For this long-awaited time, the present balance of $1,167,000 in the building fund makes possible construction of four buildings. Three of the four are to be one-story structures and one is to be a two-story structure. They will house the Social Science, Life Science, Physical Science and Humanities divisions, the Home Economics department and Veterans' Administration office. A temporary library will be opened and a book store and a cafeteria will be operated at the new campus if space can be found. Remaining on the present campus will be Evening school, Technical Science division, Physical Education department, photography laboratories, drafting rooms and auditorium. At the new stadium the grass is in. Foundations for seats on the east side are nearly finished. On the west side of the stadium, temporary bleachers will be used. Work is progressing on the heating plant. Foundations are in and much of the equipment has been purchased. Olsen Construction Company of Salt Lake City as successful low bidder will be builder of the four classroom structures. 26 ALUMNI MANS OUT By Perry Raleigh and Carol Lee Anderson Fred Nickson, '37, is one of the foremost young actors developed at Weber College and in Ogden Little Theater. He later attended the University of Utah. Recently he has lived in Los Angeles and has been active in the professional theater, notably The Drunkard during its long run. Fred was a serious minded, lanky, square jawed fellow around Weber who seemed in the English stage and English gentleman tradition. Edward P. (Ed) Anderson, '42, shows what an all-around education a fellow gets in chemistry at Weber College. After playing around with sulphur dioxide and other uncertainties under Ralph Gray for a couple of years, Ed entered the U. S. navy during World War II and served as a radio technician, afterwards decided to major in radio at the University of" Utah and then ended up as an electrical engineer. Equipped with master's degree and prison pallor, Ed is now a distinguished instructor at the "U." At Weber he was Signpost editor and Phoenix man. Dr. John A. Dixon, '43, graduated from the University of Utah college of medicine in 1947, now is on the staff of the Veterans' hospital, Salt Lake City. Activity man in football and debate at Weber, smiling John was a strong competitor in both. As budding surgeon, he passed first among 309 physicians taking the tests of the National Board of Medical Examiners in 1948. Dr. Henry Aldous Dixon and Mrs. Dixon were justifiably pleased with their son's attainments. Another physician, who attended Weber in 1941-43 but did not graduate, is Dr. Dee Dickson. Dee specialized as anesthetist, a physician who administers anesthetic for an operation and watches the patient's responses hawklike to see the patient is able to respond to the dosage and the operation. It is a highly essential specialization but at present there are not too many anesthetists available. Dee is practicing in Wyoming and recently restored a man to life by heart massage. He is the son of Delmar and Mrs. Dickson. James Sundquist, '34, is now statistical assistant to Charles E. Wilson, national defense mobilizer. Around Weber Jim was an exhaustive writer and English student and served as Scribulus editor under the now Salt Lake postmaster, David R. Trevithick, who was adviser to the mag. One of the bright moments Jim imparted to college life occurred when he went to sleep and fell off his chair during a seminar session in which Trevithick was narrating his master's thesis on Nathaniel Hawthorne. Howard Coray, '38, is a big time attorney in Salt Lake City. He is on the legal staff of the Union Pacific Railroad Company at an undisclosed but fabulous salary. For the past few years he was at various times on the staff of the Salt Lake county attorney and was a member of the legal corps of the celebrated firm of lawyersRawlins, Wallace and Black. At this school Howard went around in cords, shirtsleeves and with hairy arms exposed and braced for any and all verbal encounters. He was a crack debater for Leland H. Monson. You wouldn't know him now, all slicked up in natty duds at $75 a suit. But his logic is just as hardheaded as ever. Claude, his brother and "last of the Corays," is now attending Weber and studying chemical engineering. Chester Christensen, who attended from 1935 to 1937, now a Southern Pacific Railroad Company engineer on the Sparks-Carlin run, is rated one of the most popular men in Nevada. In the Reno area he is even more active in music than he was at Weber, if possible. His high tenor voice is now "Caruso-like" and his Reno Lions club quartet was awarded first place in the United States in 1949 and 1950. Legislator Chet, running for reelection as representative to the Nevada legislature from Sparks district in 1950, polled 2200 votes out of 2400 cast in his district. Music hath powers, but barrel-bodied Chet has branched out into a new sideline as public speaker and lecturer for community occasions in the Reno area too. At Weber Chet confined himself to his many musical activities but since has found what a power such a talent can be in civic life. Oliver Parsons, '39, is a big art man in Utah these days as curator of art at Springville art gallery, which ranks as one of the art centers of the West. Oliver is also an art teacher in Springville high school. He has participated in several exhibits around the state and is scheduled to display his work at Brigham City. 27
