An 18-man UB Planning Committee has been appointed, with Dr. R. H. Clarke as chairman and Dr. J. R. Foul-ger as co-chairman. It is working overtime with architect Keith Wilcox in making preliminary plans for the $750,000 structure. Now that a $675,000 loan has been approved by the Housing and Home Finance Agency, it will be necessary for the college to submit detailed reports to the agency within ninety days. Beginning with fall quarter of 1958, WC students will be assessed $20 per quarter to construct and operate the building and to pay interest and principal on the loan. Faculty to Contribute Mr. Carl Green, president of the Faculty Association, reports that faculty members will also make contributions toward the 7,000 plus the ost of furnishing- which must be supplied by our college and interested organizations. The Planning Committee which is made up of administration, students, architect, and alumni has four chief functions. They must first define the program Qf activities to be placed in the Union Building. Much time in recent meetings has been given to this problem. Committee members have made careful studies of other student unions throughout the state in order to determine just which facilities other institutions have. Both the University of Utah and Utah State University have been consulted and were reported on in sessions. Consultant Hired A recent decision by the committee concerns the hiring of a noted consultant on student Union buildings. Mr. Porter Butts will visit hero during the summer and assist the Committee in making the best possible choices of facilities to fit Weber.

This survey will be taken before the end of this quarter. A third duty of the Planning group will be to work closely with the architect. Mr. Keith Wilcox, architect for the job, feels that if the interested groups work closely with him during the formative stages then all should be satisfied with the finished product. The long range goals of the committee is to plan a Union Building under a balanced budget. Dr. Clarke stated that the UB is the one unit on a college campus which must be self-supporting. Profits from the book store, the cafeteria, and recreational facilities will likely be used to help pay back the loan and to provide for maintenance of the structure. The enthusiastic Planning Committee is moving ahead rapidly under these four major objectives. If this vigorous attitude is sustained, the next ninety days-will certainly see the college make great strides toward a Union Building reality which has for so long been only an illusion. 'gfoadSsiows Are Best Yet "This has been our most active, most successful year for Traveling Assemblies in some time." This is the report of Dr. Clair Johnson who is chairman of the Assembly Committee. Those assisting Dr. Johnson were Glenn Hanson who directed vocal music, Ralph Marsden who arranged all instrumental numbers, and HED Redford who coached the social clubs in their performances.The traveling troupe visited nine high schools in Weber area. Entertainers for the assemblies included vocal soloists, Mickey Pemberton, Wesley Bowman., Ed Schaeffer, and Claudette Cook; instrumental soloists Marilyn Anderson, Brent Van Kampen, Carolyn Young, Clair West and Steve Old-royd; instrumental groups such as the cornet trio and clarinet quar-tea; and vocal groups including the WC Male Quartet, Voce Coeds, and Musettes. Larry Price had audiences rolling with his record pantomimes, and La Dianeda and Otyokwa presented programs patterned after their competitive assembly numbers. Student Body officers acted as announcers for the good-willprograms. President Gites Progress Carolyn Heiner "Progress and Support" were cited by WC President William Miller as the theme for the annual president's Assembly held recently. He expressed his appreciation to the staff, faculty and students for their contributions toward making a progressive year. He reflected on his own experiences as a Weber graduate, and the years it takes to make one appreciate the importance of education. He mentioned that in his five years as president of this institution many problems have been met' and overcome. Among these were the classroom buildings, the move to upper campus, the ownership of property, and landscaping. Education Valuable President Miller quoted from a V.)iV National Bureau of Census report published in a recent issue of U. S. News illustrating the value of an education. An individual graduating from college earns $3,-100 more per year than one having a high school diploma. Our president emphasized the importance of scholarship in addition to monetary returns of an education. A significant part of the president's speech was spent in discussing the expansion problem which faces Weber. By knowing the num ber of potential college age students in this area and the percentage which normally attend Weber, one can easily see that the College enrollment will double within the next ten years. Enrollment (o Double This is by no means" the whole story. A report issued by the University of Utah in January of this year points out that those counties from which Weber draws her students will double in population by 107") because of people moving in. Within the next ten years our institution, as a junior college, will have to handle from 5,000 to 0,000 students. If Weber is made a four-year school, estimated enrollment could double those figures again. Naturally, the president stated, plans have been made for this influx of students. Last October, thirty more acres were purchased to bring the total upper campus acreage to 240. UB and Gymnasium Next The Union Building and gymnasium are to be the next building projects. A building housing speech, music, and art, will follow on the agenda preceding- a library and classroom building. A very noticeable improvement will be made in the immediate future. The parking lot in front of the Technical Building will be paved this summer. The location of the canal will be changed. The president closed with an appeal for complete cooperation and understanding between faculty and tudents. Ait Conditioning-temperatures made to order.
