Tags $250,000 For College The state building fund of $968,000 was tapped Tuesday, April 6 by the state board of examiners for $250,000, which was earmarked for development of the new Weber college campus on the foothills east of Og-den.Dr. Henry A. Dixon, president of Weber, said that architects would be hired immediately to draw up plans for a newclassroom-administration building. This building, which will cost between $700,000 and $800,000, will be the key structure on the new campus, he stated. State To Supply Funds It is intended that the rest of the money for this building will be raised through the next state legislature, which is scheduled to meet next January. The state board of examiners' appropriation came during a campaign sponsored by members of the Signpost editorial staff. Included among their efforts were articles published in the Signpost, and the Ogden Standard Examiner, local daily, attacking the state's"An-ti-Ogden" discrimination. Efforts are also being put forth to encourage student participation in the Republican mass meetings, April 19. Students are requested to appear before the mass meetings to inform the delegates of the college's desires and needs. The group, which calls itself the Student Committee for a Greater Weber College, urges all students to support its campaign. Boyd Knowles and Dick Layman can furnish further information on this subject. Dixon Comments In a comment to the Signpost, President Dixon stated, "I'm delighted with consideration given to Weber college by the State Board of examiners, and I am most appreciative to them for giving us this allotment. It seems that now we have a new campus paid for, money for architects, and some money toward buildings. It won't be long before some of our dreams are realized." we n '(LQIn) (SI SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE Applications are now being received by the Awards committee for scholarships available to the Agricultural college, Brigham Young University, and the University of Utah.

Board Recommends Manager Position Acting upon a suggestion of Dr. Robert Clarke, dean of the Weber faculty, the board of control this week recommended that the post of graduate manager be created by next year's student leaders. Duties of the graduate manager, who would hold a salaried position, would be the promotion of college activities in the fields of music, dramatics, speech, and athletics. Working in conjunction with the student business manager, the graduate manager would also share responsibility for publicity. It was suggested by Dr. Clarke that half the position's salary could be paid by the school, while half would come from student body funds.

The exhibit will be held in the Utah Power and Light co. auditorium, but the date has not as yet been determined.

Attend 'Greater Weber' Rally f7 Ml Student Aid Expanded, Says Dixon The recently expanded college student aid program wiB "provide an opportunity of this year's freshmen who display dependability and aptitude," said Dr. Henry Aldous Dixon this week. The Weber prexy revealed that a greatly increased program is being undertaken in all departments in an effort to employ more student assistants. Already, three divisions physical science, life science, and physical education have decided, after discussion an budget meetings, to increase their allotment of work for students, Dr. Dixon said. Their budgets have been increased accordingly, he stated. Budgets Enlarged The physical science division now has $3760 available to employ student assistants, it was revealed. Physical education division has been alloted $3375, and the life science division $2960. Budgets of other divisions will be increased in the future, Dr. Dixon said, adding "We want to be as liberal as possible in this respect." Student assistants in life and physical science divisions will be termed "laboratory assistants" in the future, it was reported, and will be paid at the rate of 75 cents per hour. Half their number will be composed of this year's freshmen, and half from next year's freshmen and sophomores. To Assist Students The increased student aid program is being carried out in an attempt to assist students who do not have sufficient funds to continue their education. It is especially directed at graduating high school students. Reports show that a large percentage of high school students fail to continue on to college because of financial inadequacy, arid the Weber program has been instituted to remedy this situation, Dr. Dixon said.
