No wonder so many call it their home away from home. In so many ways it really Is the campus student center. We, as faculty and staff, are happy we can contribute to that feeling for This Week at the LDS Institute Letters, Congratulations, Mantiansl the Editor: Two of your Illustrious Mantl To by Barry Baker Associate Director The other distinguished citizen that I must mention Is Utah Mother of the Year, Helen Dyreng. What a classy lady! The Hollywood movie A Touch of Class might well have been filmed around her life story. Everything she ever does, she does well; whether It be helping to direct the pageant, raise a family of righteous children, assist the city, serve in the citizens have come to my attention in recent weeks. I cannot let another day pass without commenting on these two delightful people who do so much for your area. When the Salt Lake newspapers mentioned that Wilbur Bralthwalte was retiring from coaching, I felt a lump of pride that I had ever had the privilege of knowing him. Having lived in Gunnison for 18 years, our paths often crossed. In my heart I always referred to him as the gentleman's coach." I would have been delighted to have had church, or entertain in her home. I always found her to be a cultured lady and very dignified. My first reaction when I heard she had won such an honor was . . .But, of course! Who else? She too, has a marvelous spouse on whose face I have never failed to see a smile. a son train under him. He Imparted both the expertise necessary to win a game to his students and the moral character so much more vital to their personal lives. He truly was an example in all he did. With men like him and his wife, Mantl never needed a public relations department. I salute you, Congratulations to Sanpete County! Congratulations to Mantl City! Congratulations to Bralthwaltes and Dyrengs! Congratulations to Utah! We are all winners with people like this in our midst. Sincerely, Earl V. Elmont Hillcrest Seminary Midvale, Utah Wilbur Bralthwalte, for the good man that you are.

Even though we have Just come through a very cold and The other day, in conversation with a younger person, the challenging winter here in Sanpete, we do not remember it as dragging and drab." We honestly wonder where the time has gone so quickly. As the saying goes: doesn't the time fly when youre having fun! Were Just starting Into the final leg of the school year and we wonder comment surfaced that she thought It was spring." I suggested that she not be discouraged, that in fact spring did not always mean sunshine and flowers that over the years those ofus who have moved Into the middle and older years realize that this time of year means that we should not be surprized at any type of weather, that In fact If one does not like the weather, he should just wait awhile and It will change. Spring probably should be defined In Just those terms: do not be discouraged, things could be worse; and for sure they will change. Our college students seem to be so anxious to get out In the sun and get their Jump on becoming tanned. In the classroom we find better, more regular attendance during winter quarter than during the spring quarter. Perhaps It has something to do with the weather: most of us seem to think so. Our enrollment at the Institute Is strong In comparison to the spring quarter tradition of fewer students who choose to remain home and get an early shot at the Job market. We have over 500 students registered thus far and a daily increase Is expected for two or three more weeks, as Individual schedules change with college class likes and needs. We have a number of students taking multiple classes at the Institute, as they find empty slots and test their curiosity and Interests with Instructors and class titles. We are so where It has all gone so quickly. On Friday our weather was just perfect for some outside work. Our maintenance engineer, Mr. Ned Ericksen, was out on the east street In front of the Institute Building with his longstemmed push broom, sweeping the street of the build-uover the winter. The dust was flying as he cleared the street of all that unwanted matter. It looked so nice after he was finished. I p couldnt help making the com- ment: Wouldnt It be great If r in the city eveiy would sweep his adjacent street today? We look forward to this 1988 Snow College Centennial year as one where everyone In Ephraim will try extra hard to and keep-uspruce-u- p all of home-owne- p our surroundings. We at the Institute surely plan to do our part.

No one knows exactly how big the dinosaurs were. The evidence that has been found Indicates that there were a large variety of dinosaurs and a wide range of sizes. The earlier dinosaurs like the Thecodonts were only about three feet In length. He lived about 225 million years ago during the Triassic period. One of the largest groups of dinosaurs was the Sauropods. The Apatosaurus was 80 feet long and lived In the Jurassic period about 180 million years ago. Eighty feet is about the size of about six cars put together. He was a vegetarian. That meant that he ate a lot of plants. The largest known carnivore, that means that he was a meat eater, was the iyrannosarus. who was about 45 feet long. The average Daddy Is about six feet tall so it would take seven and a half daddies to equal the size of the Tyrannosaurus. -- TRIASSIC Dtwn to"lK Ikt dindif WMlM I itoul ikt tvtod mt Mk m mt, tod toff d d fMtCOOOffft, Ito to ntnMw I'kUimm f Im4 p mt tt, dw -4 I IM Ito 4 S 000 000 (tot itotow to i ito M tog ifiit toMmf to, ito MHttottotMt, m mtoti, ft towid toppfd Mfto. to dtodtd f tv I iMt t ff.
