Show Page 8 THE SIGNPOST Tuesday, May 5, 1970 Bell tower to chime at WSC ; 111 ' r fr it FV : " V Donnell and Elizabeth Stewart will provide the entire cost estimated at in excess of $100,000 for the erection of a bell tower at WSC. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, both alumni of the college, have been active supporters of the college and of the WSC alumni association for many years. The slender structure, to stand more than 100 feet high, will be known as "Stewart Bell Tower". It is expected that work will.begin on it soon and finished during next fall term. The tower is expected to become a landmark and physical symbol of the college, said Dean Hurst, director of the WSC Development Fund, who is handling administrative details of the structure for the donors. The tower will be topped by a four-faced clock. At the base will be a section housing a carillon instrument which will be the largest electronic carillon in Utah with its 61 Flemish bells, 61 harp bells and 61 celeste bells a total of 183 bells, Mr. Hurst said. As construction begins, parking space decreases The Contract for the new Social Science Building is in the process of being completed and construction is expected to begin within a few days. Included in the contract, in addition to the building are the following service facilities: The air conditioning pipes will be extended from the new Science Building, where the central air conditioning equipment is installed to the new addition of the Student Union Building, the new Administration Building, and the Social Science Building. This will require the construction of a trench beginning at the Science Building and extending to the south side of Building 4 and extending west past Building 1. When this construction begins the parking facing north against the sidewalk from Building 4 to Building 1 will be closed until construction is completed. Parking will be continued in the two south parking lanes south of the dividing strip. A new service tunnel will be constructed from the heating plant across Edvalsen street and extending to Building 1. This is necessary to provide utility facilities for the new buildings being constructed west of Building 1. Within a few days, as construction work begins on the Social Science Building, the fence on the east side of the Administration Building construction area will be extended north to EdvalsenStreet. This will decrease the available parking space in that area permanently. Construction may begin May 4. Sociology elects officers The Sociology club elected following students to office for next year. They include Billie Wentland, president; Lamont MacDonald, Vice-president; Judy Diamond, Vice-president; Linda High, secretary; and Nicholas Lamb, treasurer. The annual steak fry will be held May 20 at 5:00 p.m.. at which time the awards for outstanding sociology students will be presented. , Moss speaks in favor of 1 8 yr vote Washington, D.C. Senator Frank E. Moss, D-Utah, today told the U.S. Senate he "strongly favors" lowering the voting age to 18. He said he will support either a Constitutional amendment or an amendment to the Voting Rights Act to accomplish the objective. He pointed out that Congress lias the power to set the voting age at 18 under the 14th Amendment."Young people today are better sducated, more mature, and nore sophisticated than ever )efore," Senator Moss said. "At 18 they can be drafted to fight for Jieir country, marry, make a :ontract, and are legally esponsible for their actions, both ;riminal and civil. "But because of tradition going ack to 20-year-old maturity of 'eudal times, they cannot vote." "To treat our 18, 19 and 20 year- )lds like children, not to trust :hem, can only deepen their alienation and drive the generations farther apart," he said. The instrument can be played manually at a console or it can be programmed and operated by automatic playing devices, amplified electronically. Four large bronze bells, which are being cast in Holland, will be visible under the clock. The Stewart Bell Tower will be erected at a point west and north of the college library. Sound of the carillon can be controlled and the instrument will be played discriminately so that it would not become a nuisance to residents surrounding the campus, Mr. Hurst said. Mr. Stewart was student body presi 'ent at Weber in 1926 and his wife attended also, and became a noted pianist and organist. In recent years, gifts to the college from Mr. and Mrs. Stewart exceeding $100,000 have been applied to nearly every segment of the campus, including scholarships, student loans, purchase of equipment such as a major contribution to the museum in the new lecture hall building, building programs, library grants, marching band and other programs.
