Mrs. Carolyn Bishop stated that, “The very foundation of a democratic society is proper education of the individuals and opportunity of education to all individuals..... the reponsibility for the are who all to belongs education professional educators and all who adhere to the principal that people should have the ‘ young woman, who still exhibits much of the enthusiasm she displayed as a high school cheerleader, the new first lady will often be mistaken for an undergraduate rather than the wife of the president, and the mother of opportunity of an education.” He further stated that one of the first responsibilities is to alumni and former students, as they have been assisted in improving their own lives intellectually, morally and financially by their education. In this light Dr. Bishop sees a return opligation of alumni to assist in the training and education of those individuals who are now entering our colleges and universities. The college, in Dr. Bishop’s opinion, could not survive without the support of its many publics and that primary among them are the alumni. Therefore, the alumni do and will always play a critical role in the progress and success of the institution. In recent remarks prepared for newly arriving freshmen, Dr. Bishop noted that since Weber State is primarily dedicated to teaching, as opposed to research, the college is in a better position to help students individually and collectively. In his first few days as head of the institution, Weber State’s new president is taking every opportunity to make himself available to the students, to know them, to hear their problems, and give directon. Dr. Joseph L. Bishop, Jr. is interested in the student and is accessable to that student. We welcome Dr. Bishop and his family to Weber State and look forward to a long and successful administration under his leadership. 5. Mrs. Bishop has expressed her pleasure on several occasions at being able to return to her home state and being able to raise her family in the environment of a college campus. Having spent several years of her married life as the wife of a student, who had the demands of both a student and an educator upon him, Mrs. Bishop offered the words to student wives that “‘it is all worth it.”’ Realizing that when there is not as much time for husband and wife, or husband and family, to spend together, that the quality of the time spent together is important. She gave encouragement to married students to take advantage of every opportunity they have to grow, to improve themselves, and to make the time that they spend together more meaningful; ‘and all of these long years will pay off.” Another question frequently asked the new president’s wife is what she feels her responsibility will be on suddenly finding herself the wife of one of the country’s youngest college presidents. In response she has said, very candidly, that she feels her main. responsibility is to support her husband privately and publicly in his new position. During the months that he is getting his feet on the ground and orienting himself to his new duties and responsibilities, she also feels it is important not become too involved herself with activities other than support of her husband, and setting an example on and off the campus. Carolyn Bishop is the kind of woman who has goals. She has definate ideas about what she wants her life to be, and doesn’t really plan to make major changes in her life style or her personality. She feels that her life will be basically the same with her husband and family, although she looks forward to new experiences, meeting new people, and meeting more people in her present situation. While waiting for the official residence to undergo extensive remodeling; Dr. Bishop and his family ‘have moved into La Salle Hall, where they will be residing until the beginning of the school year. Dormatory living is nothing new to either Dr. or Mrs. Bishop, as they were head residents as Young at Brigham undergraduates University, and are well aware of the many great benefits issued to todays students in having excellent dormatory facilities and also the problems that can occur to students living in a dormatory situation. The five Bishop boys have been spending the summer in exploration of the many corners of the campus, and have become very well acquainted with the tennis courts, swimming pool, physical ed. facilities, the union building, and the foothills surrounding the campus. Medical Role to Expand at WSC A major expansion in cooperative programs between Ogden’s hospitals, Weber State College, and the University of Utah College of Medicine was forecast | Saturday. The forecast came from Dr. John A. Dixon, an Ogden native who became the dean of the medical school July 1. Dr. Dixon said resources of these and similar institutions in Utah can be “‘extremely valuable in training the manpower to meet our rapidly expanding health care needs.”’ He based the statement on the initial success of cooperative programs under way at the three Ogden insitutions. Dr. Dixon believes at least one of these could produce solutions to some of the more serious medical-health care problems facing the nation. He is particularly optimistic about family practice residency programs at the two Ogden hospitals. These two programs represent a “new and novel approach’”’ to solving the nation’s serious and growing shortage of rural and family physicians. The three Ogden insititutions also have established cooperative training programs school in surgical with the medical residency, nursing and a number of paraprofessional fields. Dr. Dixon expects these to be expanded and new cooperative programs to be developed in the next few years. He voiced this expectation during an interview in which he discussed some of the problems facing the medical college and some of his ideas for solving them. Dr. Dixon is the first Ogdenite to head the state’s medical school. He brings to the new assignment a wide of experience in medical background practice including public health, administration anu private practice. He had been executive vice president of the University of Utah for a number of years and previously served on its board of regents and as chairman of the Utah Board of Health. His plans for expanded cooperation with other state schools and private hospitals are ALUMNI, STUDENTS, FACULTY, BOOSTERS!

That 15-member board has called for cooperative programs between the state’s insitutions of higher learning, particularly in the more costly areas of education. And Dr. Dixon points out that medical education is one of the most costly. “It is unlikely that public or private funds will be available to build enough schools to meet our medical and health care manpower needs in the traditional way,” he said. “At the same time, we can’t lower our standard of training or professional ability of our doctors.” Dr. Dixon said. One of the more promising alternatives is the use through cooperative programs of facilities and personnel at hospitals and other state institutions of higher learning. Spokesmen at the two Ogden hospitals agree the programs already under way appear to be succeeding and promise substantial benefits to the hospitals and the community. St. Benedict’s Hospital is cooperating with the medical school in the family practice residency and nursing programs. McKay-Dee Hospital has cooperative programs in this area, surgical residency and a program for advance medical clerks. LN A college president will be asked many questions on his assuming a new position. He will be quizzed about his feelings and philosophies regarding the various publics and situations of the institution. In keeping with this interest, we asked about Dr. Bishop’s attitude towards alumni. In summarizing his answer to this query, Dr. Bishop stated first, very simply, that he believes the college exists for the community. He went on to elaborate by saying, “the dignity of man is based on his chances for learning. And if learning is restricted to the wealthy, or the elite we will only promote the caste system.” He further
