"This will be a spectacular display of music and - fireworks," said Daniel L. Martino, director of the WSC Office of Cultural Affairs. Martino said that the symphony is sponsored by Weber State, by Ogden businessman John Lindquist 1 and the Utah Symphony, and will feature an hour long concert followed by the fireworks display.

The orchestra for the July 28 concert will be located just south and east of the Miller Administration Building of the WSC campus, with the fireworks going off in the large field just north of Promentory Towers. Martino said that speakers will be set up in the area around the plaza and in the parking lot east of the Browning Center for the Fine Arts. Seating will be in those areas as well as to the north of the orchestra and towards the Bell Tower. No one will be allowed in the field used for the fireworks. The Browning Center, the Allied Health Administration Building and the Information building will be open for rest room facilities and WSC Food Services will have concession stands.

Wsc security said that, because of the large crowds experienced in the past, spectators should plan on coming early and should not be in a hurry to leave. Martino said, "We have not had a serious accident at this event because people have been courteous and patient. We hope they can be the same this year." The concert is free and is a part of Pioneer Day Celebrations.

The Marriot building as it appeared last winter. Completion date is scheduled for June of 1986. Dial-in-registration rings loud and clear Students at Weber State College will be able to register by phone for autumn quarter Aug. 19-21 from 8 a.m. to noon and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. According to Dr. Winslow L. Hurst, director of admission and registration, the college is trying the phone-in registration for the first time to make it easier for students to register for course work. Hurst said, "This is an effort to make it more efficient for the student and to take the hassle out of registration." The phone-in registration is only for students who have already attended Weber State. New freshmen must register in person or during freshmen orienta tion which goes through August. Hurst said that students registering by phone , should have a list of classes they want with alternates in case their first choice class is full. Once on the phone they will simply give the registration personnel the reference number assigned to the class. Courses that require departmental approval must still be registered for in person, Hurst said. After registering by phone, students will have five wroking days to mail in their tuition and fees. Hurst said that the phone-in registration is being used on a trial basis and if it proves effective, the college will look at making it a permanent practice. Time drags on for Marriot building by David Oswald Staff Reporter The major problem is time as far as the Marriot Allied Health Building and Dr. Reed M. Stringham are concerned. According to Stringham, Dean of Allied Health, the new Marriot building isn't scheduled to be completed until June 31, 1986. He said that he would like to be able to move into the building by June 1st in order to allow time for the programs(departments) to get set up by fall quarter of 1986. He said, "We will need the extra month or it could be critical as far as putting anybody out." That includes the departments as well as well as the students. The move will entail all furniture and equipment which is "still serviceable," according to Stringham. He said that the school of Allied Health has the main responsibility of furnishing the basics for the new building. That means the school is responsible for student learning facilities such as desks, as well as other equipment basic to each course. "We are still determining what is serviceable in furniture and equipment," he said. According to Jim Cox of Campus Architectural Services, the school will send out bids to acquire any new furnishings and equipment for the building. The bidding will be handled through Architectural Services, Cox said. The office and student furniture, in addition to any equipment purchased from leftovers in the State Appropriations fund, will fit into the new buildings special design. Stringham said that the building has been apportioned to the different programs that will occupy it from the planning stages and that there will be specialized designs to accommodate each programs specific needs. He said the places for equipment, office, and student facilities will enhance the learning environment, which is currently not present in Building 3. sec TIME on page 5 |
