Show Page 2 July 14, 1967 COLLEGIATE WEEKLY (CnllrntatP mion I -Si' 11?-; 1 Parking Problem Grows Something happened to student parking at Weber State College this week: a good portion of it disappeared and was replaced by traffic chaos. At first blockades were placed across the road . . . then fences were erected as the construction trucks began rolling in . . . and in less than seven days, many of the student parking places were gone. Weber State, in the past three years, has never had enough parking spaces to theoretically accomodate every student enrolled at the school. Everyone managed to find a parking placeeven if it meant circling the campus three orfourtimes-butthatis all in the past As the studentbody increased and construction projects increased, the parking spaces began to decrease. Now that a good section of the Union Building parking lot and spaces near buildings one to four have been sliced away-parking is a serious problem. Much of the student spaces were lost several months ago when construction began behind the Technical Building-parking is a serious problem. New spaces are being constructed beside the stadium, a hearty hike from the top of the hill-practically a no man's land built up the slopes of the Wasatch Mountains. Students will park there, but they won't like it They will see that their is no land for parking closer to the buildings, except behind the Art Building, but they will still ask why. "Why" is simply because the college is busy growing-at a rate that the parking spaces cannot keep pace with at the present time. Next year, to avoid serious automobile accidents resulting from the mad scramble to find a place to park, students and faculty are going to have to know and observe campus traffic regulations. No one will be able to make himself "an exception to the rule;" parking is a community and campus problem. You may be disgruntled and dismayed-at times you will be infuriated and upset But you and I and the rest of the college will have to learn to live with this temporary thorn in the paw. This is one problem that cannot be solved by harsh words and foolish actions. y Published weekly by Dennis G. Heiner and edited by students of Weber State College.

IVeber State Given Funds Weber State College has received an institutional grant of $2,000 from the National Science Foundation, Administrative Vice President Robert A. Clarke said today. "The money can be spent for scientific purposes as determined by the college," Dr. Clarke said. "It may be used to strengthen science education in its several fields, Including social science, life science, and physical science, and can be used for equipment, salaries, or research." "I finally qot down to my friend, Antinion, the local carpenter with some plans for a wooden washing machine which would be hand-operated but far superior to beating clothes on stones." Peace Corps Copied By Other Programs He added the sum was made available to the college on the basis of need. .Matching money is not required. Several days ago Weber State received from the National Science Foundation a grant of $13,-300 which will be matched by the college for a total of $26,600. That sum will be used to equip a solid state laboratory and a special project laboratory in the new Science Building scheduled for completion -in early 1969. The organization most often described as the real prototype of the Peace Corps is the International Voluntary Service. TVS was formed in 1963, to some extent as an effort to reorganize and give specific direction to all American monitary programs. It is, however, essentially a non-religious as well asnon-denominational operation: the volunteers who go abroad make no attempt to proselytize foreign citizens.Just as TVS was in many ways the logical culmination of the work of American missionary groups, the formation of numerous non-religious organizations to send volunteers abroad was a logical outgrowth of the increased interest on the part of universities and' foundations in the underdeveloped areas of the world. Since World War II, and especially since the launching of the Marshall Plan, dozens of private organizations have been formed for the purpose of brining America closer to the people of foreign countries Also, many universities organized their own programs for sending students to underdeveloped countries to work - whether in the summer, during their junior year, or during the graduate work. As a matter of fact, organizations pioneering in one phase or another of the kind of work the Peace Corps does seems almost endless - - Care, Foster Parents, the Near East Foundation, Experiment In International Living, the American Korean Foundation.
