Ilding Welcome to the alfalfa fields of Weber College. I want to congratulate you for having made it through the first major trauma of your college careers, registration. It's unfortunate that such scars can't be erased, but then, to coin a phrase, "time heals all wounds." Next on the agenda of your nervous breakdown is the actual experience of scholarship. Those of us of the Baby BYU'er world like to give some suggestions as to the most advantageous way to get the very most out of your great learning experience. After years of experience, we have distilled the very essence of scholarship into a few truths that, if used wisely, will most certainly make your stay at our "Institution" meaningful. 1. Follow the example of those freshman girls who, in spite of their unquenchable thirst for knowledge, are going to sacrifice and give of their time to a social unit. 2. Neve'r do today what can be put off till tomorrow. When your professor asks you to read three chapters for tomorrow, he can't be serious after all, they never did that in high school. Wait till dead week and read the' really important parts of the course like the final exam. 3. Do not participate in class discussions, for such action would differentiate you from the faceless blob in the classroom, and after all, anyone can te'll you that no one wants to be different. 4. Don't ask why in some instances the instructor seems to be talking about something- totally unrelated to the course. There is really nothing to worry about, for in all probability, he will test you on neither. 5. Never take a five-hour class if you can get a three-hour instead. Everyone knows that the work is cut down proportionately, and that the rumors about three-hour classes being- a teaching convenience are unfounded. 6. If asked by a foreigner why there isn't smoking in the union building, give one of these stock answers: a. Smoking discolors paint b. It causes cancer in white rats c. If Nature had intended people to smoke! in union buildings, it would have put ash trays inside instead of on the steps d. Smoking is evil, and after all, smokers aren't really part of the student union except at registration 7. Don't ask why the best parking is marked "Faculty."

VERNE NIELSEN 3225 Washington Blvd. The 1963-64 school year promises to ba an interesting and exciting one at Weber State College, as students, faculty, administration and alumni prepare to celebrate the institution's Diamond Jubilee anniversary. Special commemorative events will take place throughout the year with several major activities taking place around Jan. 7, 1964, when many state and local dignitaries will be present for the1 ! Founders' Day program, i One of the year's highlights will , be an alumni-sponsored "Diamond ; Jubilee Ball," which is tentatively : set for December 27. Those attend-ing are invited to wear costumes i reminiscent of the earliest dances held at Weber State. On display at , that time will be1 a collection of memorabilia taken from the j school's first publications year- books, catalogues, etc. including I scenes from dramatic productions, i pictures of the basketball team, and group photos representing some of the first social organizations, i These items will remain on display ! for several days in order that the ! general public may have an oppor-' tunity to view them. The college has shaped the Dia-, mond Jubilee program withcommunity-wide participation in mind.. I Now that Weber State' is becoming a four-year institution, its cultural ! and athletic activities will begin I to take on greater meaning for Ogden's citizens and we sincerely hope the result will be a continued ' growth of college-community cen-j tered activities. I When the college first opened, on ; January 7, 1889, it was known as ! Weber Stake Academy, of the j Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-I day Saints. The school's ninety-eight students met in the LDS Second Ward Chapel on Twenty-sixth and Grant Avenue, under the supervision of Louis F. Moench, the first principal. As part of the Diamond Jubilee program, a new statue honoring the memory of this early educator will be unveiled at a ceremony tentatively scheduled for noon of October 10. The new statue, nearly twice as large as that we now have, has been done for Weber State by the nationally known Utah sculptor, Avard Fairbanks.In 1X91, the college moved to its first permanent location) in the Moench Building, at Twenty-fifth and Jefferson. Gradually the curriculum was adapted to include high school courses, the school expanding later to assume the status of a junior college1 which it remained for forty years. Blut the college has grown with the city and perhaps the most fitting addition to Weber State's Diamond Jubilee celebration will be the graduation in early June of its first senior class. 1 |
