Architects Deliver Sketches of New University Medic Center An exterior view of the new Universtiy of Utah Medical Cen-ter came off the architect's draw-ing board giving Intermountain residents a clear idea of what the multi-millio- n dollar Center will look like. A spokesman for the firm of Ashton, Evans and Brazier, pro-ject architects, said: "The Medi-cal Center is designed to conform with the overall pattern of the University, and to blend with the mountains in background. The exterior is of nice, clean, modern and attractive design. It will definitely be an attraction on the campus. "At ,the same time it will not be a fancy or costly structure. Instead it will be a rather plain, highly functional service unit fitting ' the budget . set . for it. It is designed primarily, to serve present and future needs of the medical education efficiently and economically." Dr. Phillip B. Price, dean of the College of Medicine, said he was pleased with the exterior of the building and that the Center will be both attractive and func-tional. The Medical Center will ' be situated on a 43 acre plot of ground high on the Fort Douglas part of the University campus. It will look out over the lower campus and Salt Lake valley, with the towering Wasatch in the background. The present Cancer Research Wing and Ra-dio biology Laboratory on the site will be part of the Center. There will be plenty of parking space and transportation facili-ties will be adequate. The Medical Center will house the College of Medicine and Nursing, their facilities and re-search staffs, more students than at present, research laboratories, out-patie- nt clinics, a rehabilita-tion unit, medical library, and other facilities necessary to the College of Medicine and Nursing. A public campaign for $4,010,-00- 0 to supplement state and fed-eral funds for construction of the Medical Center is underway. Ground-breakin- g for the Center is tentatively scheduled for mid-Apri- l. The project is expected to be ready for use in 1962 with the present freshman class of the medical school scheduled to be the first graduates from the new Center. The Medical Center is needed to replace the medical school's present inadequate facilities. In a recent drive, students in the College of Medicine and Nursing pledged a combined total of $236,550 to the campaign indi-cating student awareness of the need for the new Center. A committee comprised of public spirited individuals in the entire area is now busy on the campaign for funds. Com-mittee chairman is Leland B. Flint, Salt Lake businessman. Rep. King to Push Inquiry Into Indian Lands Laws Rep. David S. King Saturday said he has "no intention of drop-ping" his inquiry on legislation passed by the 85th Congress that fives the Navajo Indians title to "islands" of mineral rich public domain in San Juan County and may cost Utah millions of dol-lars in oil royalties. His statement was a reply to the Department of Interior re-lease warning that any attempts to disturb the provisions of Law 85-86- 8 would raise "grave moral issues." Congressman King declared: "Certainly grave moral issues have been raised. They have been raised not by my inquiry, but by the law itself, which has the effect of stripping the state and people of Utah of potential oil wealth without "due pro-- ; cess." . "I cannot simply drop the mat-ter. Utah's stakes in it are too high." v The revenue from oil produc-tion on these lands could pour millions of dollars into schools and reclamation projects within the state. "As one of the faster growing states of the nation, a state faced with critical school garded the release from Interior as a "concession" that the lands were, in fact, public domain un-til Law 85-86- 8 was passed. He said his concern has been deep-ened by Interior's observation, in, the letter, that the lands were the center of a mineral right con-test at the time the law was passed. Mr. King referred to a section of Interior's letter which ob-served: While it may well be that absent provision of Section 1(d) concerning which you write, the state of Utah, under the Mineral Leasing Act, would receive re-turns in the form of a 37 Vz per cent share of any oil and gas lease revenues accruing, it is equally true that the asserted claims were the subject of vigor-ous contest and it is by no means clear that such claims would, in the final analysis, have been sus- - tained." The "moral wrong" in the law, he said, "is the effect it has in killing the contest on asserted mineral rights before that con-test could be carried to an equit-able and final decision. building needs, Utah can ill af-ford the loss of this mineral wealth. I am obligated, as a rep-resentative of the state, to do all in my power to restore to Utah an interest in this wealth." Rep. King wrote the Depart-ment of Interior in mid-Decemb- er asking a clarification of In-terior's position under the new law. He voiced concern over a November decision from Interior which held that the law has the effect of killing oil and gas lease applications which were pend-ing before the department at the time the law was passed. The Congressman received a reply in a letter from . Interior Assistant Secretary Roger Ernst. Mr. King said he is "not en-tirely satisfied with the informa tion Interior has presented. My concern has not been quieted by Interior's delay in drafting a reply. I deplore the department's strategy in making its reply pub-lic before I saw it." -- The press received mimeo-graphed copies of Interior's let-ter 24 hours before the original reached my office. Copies of the letter were contained in the re-lease which Interior made last Thursday. The Congressman said he re- - Printers in Utah I Observe "Week" During the week of January 11-1- 7, Printing Week, sponsored by the International Association of Printing House Craftsmen and cooperating graphic arts organi-zations, was celebrated in the U. S., Canada and several for-eign lands. Printing Week is observed partly that we may nemind our-selves of a debt to the past, that we may recall that printing both grew out of and sustained the great rebirth of western civili-zation as we all know as the Renaissance, that it has been the" means of propagating all the subsequent ideas embodied in the institutions we live by to-day. , It is well substantiated that, after Gutenberg showed the way printing spread so rapidly and ,'so accelerated the exchange of knowledge as to have had a di-rect influence on the dream of Columbus: colonizing our coun-try, and its development. As Thomas Carlyle wrote: "He who first shortened the labor of copyists by the devise of mov-able types was disbanding hired armies, cashiering most kings and senates and creating a whole new democratic world." .Above all, Printing Week paid tribute to a pride of craftsman-sho- p that is a tradition among printers but all too rare in other industries. But if the printers today have retained their pride in their heritage, their work and the product of their labors, the pub-lic, in an age when printed mat- - ter has become a commonplace, is quite naturally inclined to overlook the place of the printer in our society. Every school child knows that printing is the bulwark of our culture, and every businessman realizes that it is the mainstay of our mass distribution econ-omy; yet, with our way of life more than ever responsible to printing, nothing is more taken for granted. Yet printing re-mains the number one method for disseminating information and for recording it in perma-nent form. Printing week is a . reminder. Printing is vital to our econ-omy not only as a tool of other forms of commerce, but because of its enormous employment rolls and its position as a buyer of goods and service from other industries. Among the 20 indus-trial groups covered by the U.S. census of manufacture, printing ranks third in number of estab- - lishments, eighth in total wages and salaries, eighth in value added by manufacture and ninth in number of employees. For every 200 of our population, one is an employee of printing. Ex-- S. L. Newsman Describes Atlas Guidance System Whether it be guiding inter-continental ballistic missiles or guiding industry, speed, accu-racv- y and availability of infor- - and fuel. Kizer quoted an Air Force of-ficial as crediting the Atlas guid-ance system, developed jointly . by Burroughs and General Elec-tric, with the success of the satel-lite operation. Originally sched-uled to circle the globe for about 20 days, the Atlas, launched on Dec. 18, is now believed to have . life until about Feb. 1. Kizer, former Salt Lake news-man, addressed a joint meeting of the Salt Lake Rotary Club and the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, the Salt Lake Ad " Club and the Salt Lake Kiwanis Club. I have never in my life thought things out, nor have I known anybody who ever did. I have always had to live them out, thinking as I went along. Carl Van Doren. mation is the keynote in the space age. This was the theme of three talks Ken Kizer, member of the public relations staff of Bur-roughs Corp Detroit, gave to members of Salt Lake civic clubs this week. "Successful businessmen must know now, not tomorrow or next week' Kizer said. Burroughs, the maker of the Atlas ICBM ground guidance computer, is a world-wid- e leader in research, development and production of business machines, data process-ing systems and large scale com-puters. Discussing the Atlas satellite now hurtling around the world every 101 minutes, he said it was the cn"y satellite steered into orbit.
