Ray Olpin looks at old copies of the university's yearbooks which will be on dis-play at Founders Day event. The oldest state university west of the Missouri River is planning its 110 birthday party. The University of Utah was established Feb. 28, 1850, as the University of Deseret. It has been known as the University of Utah since 1892 and has had its campus at the present site on the east bench of Salt Lake City since 1901. Among various activities com-memorating Founders Day this year will be "Operation 110" in the Student Union Friday, Feb. 26, from 7 to 10 p.m. for alumni, senior students, the latters' par-ents and friends of the university.

The evening will include a ceremonial lighting of the Uni-versity of Utah's birthday cake, exhibits, motion pictures, pro-grams presented by students, dancing, refreshments, and use of such Union facilities as bowl-ing alleys and the games area. A "happy anniversary' song and a new U. of U. pep song, both written by a student, Ronald L. Daum, will be introduced.

An opportunity to obtain funds at low rates of in-terest for construction of class rooms, libraries and laboratories will help us to train these high school graduates in our rapidly growing state," the Senator said. Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah announced Wednesday his co-- ; sponsorship of a Senate bill that would make $125 million avail-able for federal loans for college classrooms, laboratories, and li-- i braries. Sen. Moss said: "The formula in this bill is the same as the one used for the highly successful college hous-ing program. The money will be repaid to the federal government with interest. Eleven college housing loans have been made to Utah institutions totalling $11 million. Four other applications are pending. "The figures show that colleges and universities will double en-rollments by 1970. If the nation is to have the benefit of adequate development of the skills and brains of our growing army of young people, we must act now to provide clasrooms and labora-tories. "Surely America realizes by now that we are in a race for intellectual leadership with the Soviet Union. It seems self-evide- nt that if we are to train the scientists and engineers we need and also provide a vast reservoir of educated men and women capable of leadership, we must provide not only college dormi-tories where they can sleep but also college classrooms where they can work and study. "Let me repeat the bill pro-vides money for loans only. It will be repaid with interest. "In addition to new construc-tion, loans may be made for 'rehabilitation, alteration, con-version, or improvement' of ex-isting structures. Repayment may not exceed 50 years, and interest will be determined by af ormula which is calculated to repay the government's cost for the money. "Utah is first in education in Legislation Would Protect Flag from Advertising Use of the nation's military uniforms and the flag in product advertising would be outlawed by legislation introduced this week by Rep. David S. King of Utah. :. If his bill passes, Mr. King said, the uniform and the flag I could be used for only two com- - mercial purposes: 1. Legitimate i theatre and motion picture pro- - I ' ductions. 2 Advertising of the ? uniform and the flag themselves 1 by firms directly engaged in sell- - ing them. I "I see no justification for the way in which our military uni- - forms and other sacred national j emblems are being exploited by ? advertisers," Mr. King said. i "The serviceman is being used in magazine ads and on bill- - I boards and aTV commercials to I boost the sales of everything from chewing gum and soft I drinks to breakfast cereals and j tobacco. "The uniform and the flag ( have been hallowed by the hero- - f ism and the sacrifice which have built this nation and its demo-cratic system into the greatest i institutions on earth. "Advertisers who use the uni- - I form and the flag are" simply trying to import to their prod- - s ucts the prestige, the tradition i and the good will which are in- - j herent in the national emblems. ;' I cannot see why this exploita- - tion of these emblems serves the ' public interest in any way. : "On the contrary, I feel that the public interest suggests that the emblems be protected from such exploitation." Mr. King's bill extends to the states the coverage of a District of Columbia statute which for-bids the desecration of the flag and its use in advertising. It provides a maximum fine of $1000 for the use of either the flag or the uniform in product advertising, and calls for the use of the injunction power to stop such advertising. Wayne Carlson Tells Plans to Seek Demo Co. Commission Post (Continued from Page 1) dersen, this week announced he would again seek the Democratic nomination for the commission. Mr. Carlson is a metallurgical tester for the U. S. Smelting, Re-fining and Mining Co. at Mid-val- e. He is a native of Salt Lake County and attended city schools and was graduated from the Uni-versity of Utah. During World War II he served in the Army Ordnance Department and at the time of his discharge held the rank of captain. He has served as night super-intendent and engineering assist-ant at the Midvale Smelter and for eight years held clerical and supervisory positions with a railroad. The candidate said in his an-nouncement that his objectives, if elected, would be: "Elimination of tax increases on city and county residents and restoration of old age exemp-tions; immediate action to rem-edy inadequate detention home facilities and to improve han-dling of juvenile problems; a positive civil defense program. "More emphasis on improve-ment of roads in heavily popu-lated areas and elimination of the practice of building super roads in sparce building con- - struction areas; establishment of job security for efficient and non elective employes. "Improvement of recreational and sanitation facilities; im-proved maintenance of county equipment, and provision of safety facilities to reduce haz-ards created by water and some bridges." He is married to the former Martha Rockwood and they have six children. George B. Catmull Asks Commission Post (Continued from page 1) county operations, has been a general contractor for 18 years. From 1931 to 1935 he was a trucking contractor. From 1935 to 1941 he was su-perintendent of Countv Roads under Commissioner James B. Mullins. He resigned in 1942 to enter private contracting. In his announcement Mr. Cat-mu- ll pointed out that he would be able to cut expenses in the Roads and Bridges Department because of his long experience in its operations. He said his knowledge of all chases of road construction would be of benefit to the county. Continuing, Mr. Catmull said, "Taxes are too high. County Uxo.s should not be raised next year, they are too high as it is. It is getting so it is almost too expensive for a person to own his own home. "I do not feel it is necessary for the county to construct a one million dollar incinerator. If the county and cities would coope-rate they could purchase swamp lamp and by dumping garbage and earth fill into the swamps improve the land and take care of the garbage disposal problem at the same time and at a mini-mum of cost." The candidate said his exper-ience in operating heavy ma-chinery would also prove valu- - able. "I can tell if a man is pro- - ducing since I have done every phase of work the county has to do," Mr. Catmull said. "I would hire men who know their job and pay them well. They will produce more for the county than less trained and poorly paid workers. "I think that the County Road Commissioner should coordinate with the sewer district, gas com-pany and telephone company so that all repairs and installations are made before paving to elimi-nate digging up of streets the following year, also the snow should be plowed and hills sand-ed immediately after snowing, and more attention should be shown to repair of chuck holes." Mr. Catmull recalled that un-der former Commissioner Mul-lins he helped establish the first garbage collection system in the county. A native of Salt Lake City, he is a son of William and Martha Catmull. He was the youngest of 15 children. He was educated in Salt Lake City schools. He mar-ried Florence Holberry and they have five daughters, and two grandchildren. He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints and the Salt Lake Elks Club, International Footprint Association and Ute Rangers. nWewTPrev I j Congress is studying a new! jair pollution law requiring ag new exhaust control devise j Ion automobiles . . .

Mountain States Telephone Starting point for prosperity A stone dropped in a pool of water is the starting point for waves that spread to every corner of the pool. Mining is the starting point for economic benefits that spread to every corner of Utah. Mining results in mill-ing, milling calls for smelting, smelting brings refining and refining attracts fabricating plants. These widening economic circles produce more jobs, bigger payrolls, growing supply purchases and increasing tax payments.
