Show VOLUME XVI MAY 1, 1953, OGDEN, UTAH Nnmber 12 Student I - - ' , Facultv and students aid in the job of "tearinj; down" on the new Weber College Campus. Students are urged to come up and contribute a little of their free time by student Co-ordinator Kay Knowles. It may even prove worthwhile because around 4:30 p. m. a ear brings food to the workers. Certification Rites Set for Artisans Certificates will be awarded approximately 50 Ogden men at the sixth apprenticeship completion exercises at Weber College May 21, reported Wendell Esplin, coordinator.The men include a number of Weber night school enrollees and a number of other workers currently employed at Hill Air Force Base. Their fields of certification include electricity, plumbing, carpentering and sheet metal work. Mew Officers Face Newly elected student body leaders buckled down this week to study such vital matters as the WC budget for extracurricular activities of the students in the coming year. They expressed themselves as being appreciative of the trust and faith the student body had shown in them at election time, and promised to contribute their best efforts to the traditionally ''Greater Weber College." Meeting in Board of Control to orient themselves and study these problems are the people's choice: John Elzey, president; Myrna Larsen, vice president; Evelyn Bieler, secretary; James Wheeler, treasurer, and Gordon Clawson, business manager. Some of the problems which the outgoing student leaders are leaving them after a highly successful year are these: 1. Transition to the new campus. 2. Budget adjustments. 3. Conducting of activities on a split campus. 4. Readjustment of the budget after financial facts are available next year. H Attendance at activities. 6. Better school spirit. 7. Several projects related to the new campus.

Others are not and reportedly are somewhat aggravated now perhaps more than they have been in the past. Although in offering these problems in response to questions, the retiring officers did not go into details, it was felt by other sources that now with the transfer to a new school plant and a fine new campus is the time for a reawakening of Weber spirit as it has never been aroused before. These sources commented that the fact that such challenges exist is in no way a result of the work of the retiring officers, who have conducted their posts with considerable enthusiasm and dignity. Among the hopeful signs is the possibility of more funds for ac- j tivities next year. This year such activities as publications have ! been hampered by lack of assured financing for the full year. ; Another cheerful thing is the new campus, which visitors have greeted with amazement and declared, "Such things don't happen I but here it is." I Prexy Elzey said of this, "Possibly setting up on the new campus will fire everybody with a new I spirit. In this connection, the new J officers are going to cooperate in making it a great year a mem- I orablc year everyone can look back upon." on New v Nag h j1 Deferment Rule !

Elzey expressed the view also that "One of our biggest problems will be adjustment to the new campus. For one thing, I hope we can have cooperation of all our students to help with the labor problem. This contribution would be the greatest sign of good school spirit that I can think of. It would do a lot for us." "As far as I can see we are really going to have a fine year next year," he concluded. EVELYN BIELER Secretary , - - f Campus Urged Rush of Vorkers Asked for Campus To Clear Up Several Assignments Increased student body support for the odd-job assignments essential to completing the new campus was asked by Ray Knowles, chairman of the effort, as marked progress was made in clearing up some of the debris and planning other work. Knowles, who has been busy in overalls since the assignment was given him, expressed appreciation for the work of men students who have been up there several times and the college women who have served refreshments each afternoon at 4 p.m. So far the work has been done on a division basis, with instructors in each division calling for volunteers and going up themselves when classwork permitted, he reported. He indicated, however, that 10 students and five instructors have been about the daily labor force so far. "I think our appreciation for Weber and our liking for President Dixon's leadership are far stronger than that. And it is up to us to show it by some solid work," he stressed. "Recognition will be given to those who work on this really wonderful campus." Workers on the buildings and grounds staffs under Wallace D. Baddley, superintendent, have been laboring diligently on jobs outside their regular duties. As a result, the new, attractive tan and brick ticket office is now up, and dressing rooms are also under way at the stadium, with Richard Best of the carpentry department in charge along with John Crawford, school carpenter. Others busy on other jobs in this phase of the effort have been LeRoy Bowden, Clyde Painter, Merlin C. Edvalson and George Hyde. For the past week the schedule for students was to dig up about A..

Mr. Baddley has planned several essential projects on which patriotic students can do their bit until graduation time in June, said Knowles. As a terrific example of what the coeds are doing to help, he reported that 10 girls oiled all the bleachers in one afternoon Geology Field Trippers Go To Zion, Bryce Pleasure-packed education is in store for more than 90 Weber students engaging in the annual three-day geology field trip to southern Utah, which began Thursday.Zion and Bryce parks are destination for the two-fold purpose of teaching state geogranhy and Continued on Page 2 j Coming Events i jMav 1 Sigma Dance. i jMa'y 6 AWS Banquet. j May 7, 8, 9 Community Thea-j ! tpr- ' jMav 8 Lagoon Outing. j May 11-16 Cellar Theater. j I May 12 Sadie Hawkins Day. !
