We hope construction will begin by July of 1965. It will take one and a half to two years to build. The administration will be housed in new offices at a cost of only $570,000. The new building is still in the planning stage, and if funds BAA Comes to WSC The growth and development of Weber State will be marked with substantial additions to the campus. Five buildings are to be completed within the next few years. Construction of dormitories began in January, 1963, and they will be ready for use in the summer of 1964. The architect is Sterling Lyon and the contractor is M. Mor-rin and Son. A loan of $1.6 million was made from the Housing and Home Finance Agency and is to be repaid in the next forty years with revenue from rental of the facilities. Dormitory capacity includes 111 men and 111 women in regular dormitory facilities. These will have food service in the Union Building. Also included will be 72 men and 72 women students assigned to home living units. Six students will share each unit and will do their own housekeeping and cooking. The auditorium and fine arts center will be built in two phases. The first is the auditorium now under construction. The Utah Legislature has appropriated $1.8 million for the stnacture, consisting of an 1,800 seat auditorium and twelve classrooms for the music and spes'ch departments. The second phase is estimated at another one million dollars and will include a small theatre for drama with seating capacity of 400. A separate building will also be erected to accommodate the art department. Both phases will be built by Alfred E. Brown Co. with Keith Wilcox and Associates as architects. The auditorium will be completed next summer, but the theatre and arts buildings are still on the drafting boards. With Hodgson and Holbrook as architects, and at a cost of $1.5 million, a new library will be built. It will provide" room for 300,000 volumes. Funds were made available by the 1963 Special Session of the Legislature. Plans should be ready for bidding by the end of the 1963-64 school year. Construction will take one1 and a half years. Another building, on the boards of Arthur Mueller, architect, is the science building. The cost of this are granted by the 1965 State Legislature, construction might begin by July 1, 1965. The architect is John Piers. If future legislatures are generous, we might have at least one major classroom building within six years. It alone will cost approximately $2 million. All of these buildings are necessary to accommodate theever-increasing number of students enrolling at Weber State. Weber State College started its first class in electronic data processing with the opening of the term. Installation of an IBM 1401 card-compTiting system has just been completed in the Technical Education Division. L. E. Peterson, professor of Technical Education, said that Weber is the first college in Utah to offer the course. "Growing demands for trained personnel to operate the electronic equipment in government, financial olas said. and industrial, firms of the area induced the college to set up the training program for college students," he said. The IBM course is a two-year Technical Education offering. Students will major in the course and will take other required college work on the same basis as other students, Mr. Nicholas said. Those who take the course will find job opportunities at defense and government plants, banks, and in private organizations, Mr. Nich- o ; , , , - j - By Ryan Rees Sports Editor Last September 14, Weber State opened its 1963 football campaign with an impressive 13-7 win over Eastern Montana. The score is misleading to the quality of the win. The Wildcats gained 416 offensive yards to 146 yards gained by Eastern Montana (see "On the Sidelines" for more information). ' Defensive play highlighted the first half of play as the score was 0-0 at the intermission. Weber was hurt by three nullified passes in the second quarter that stopped a touchdown drive. In the second half the Wildcats went wild as they rolled two touchdowns and 316 total offensive yards. The second half was sparked by quarterback Lynn Smith's passing and Frank Kaa's brilliant running as they grounded out a 97-yard scoring drive1. Smith passed for 132 yards on 11 of 16 completions. One completion was a seven-yard toss to end Lynn Corbridge for the game's first touchdown. Kaa gained 96 yards, mostly up the middle of the EM line. Kaa scored the decisive touchdown, a two-yard plunga in the fourth quarter.Second best ground gainer was Curt Wilker as he replaced injured Dick Pruitt midway through the first quarter. He gained 54 yards plus a 29-yard pass reception to set up Kaa's tally. Pruitt had gained 37 yards before his injury. Another injury to Frank Bentley in the third period ended his attack after he had rolled up 44 yards and two pass receptions from Smith. Corbridge was the leading pass catcher with three receptions for 26 yards. Ron Leslie, a Boise J.C. transfer, was good for three catches and a fine defensive game. Joe Lalli and Tony Hassk were given recognition by Coach Nalder as top defensive performers in the contest. IrsgMii Hosts "A man is not a leader just because he is elected to an office," was the theme of this year's Leadership Conference held last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Brighton ski resort. The object of the1 conference was to teach the mechanics of leadership to student officers. Major General Don Coupland, Commander of the Ogden Air Materiel Area, was the keynote speaker. Major Coupland, a military leader, spoke on some of the fundamentals of good leadership. The conference was highlighted by a banquet Thursday night, lectures and panel discussions on some of the different aspects of leadership Friday and Saturday, a ski lift ride followed by supper on the mountain and a dance in the lodge ballroom Friday night, and a football game Saturday night at the Weber State campus. Mr. J. Farrell Shepherd and Gerald L. Shupe acted in an advisory capacity and Brian Florence did an outstanding job of directing the conference according to Judy Jeppson, Activities vice president. Jackie Miller and Gary Bell assisted Brian in every way possible. The conference was attended by approximately seventy students and twenty guests. Everyone added their efforts to the spirit of effective leadership. 'This year's Leadership Conference was one of the most successful conferences Weber has ever held," said Miss Jeppson. "Everyone who attended came away a better person for it."
