Librarian, receives the Golden Spike Proclamation from Blue Key officers Mike Lyon, Art Jones, Lynn Bailey, Clifford Vellinga, Dr. Quinn McKay, Blue Key advisor, and Dr. Levi Peterson. Blue Key initiates Railroad book fund "Someday , researchers may come from around the world to gather information at the Weber State College library," said Art Jones, president of the WSC chapter of Blue Key National Honor Fraternity. He made the statement Wednesday as Blue Key announced its intention to initiate a fund for a unique collection of western railroad literature. The literature, which will consist of factual history and some novels, will become part of a special western section to be established in the WSC library. "Our fraternity will contribute annually to the permanent fund as long as Blue Key remains on campus," Jones noted. He presented a formal proclamation to Pres. William P. Miller and college librarian James R. Tolman. The document contained the signatures of all 18 members of the Blue Key chapter. Dr. Levi Peterson, department of English, has offered to assist fraternity members in acquiring old western railroad volumes from antique shops, stores and individuals throughout the western states. "As the collection grows, it will become increasingly important to historians seeking information about the great saga of the Golden Spike Empire," said Jones. He indicated the library's western section will be one of the few of its kind in the world. The collection will be particularly important in a geographical sense. The nation's first transcontinental railroad was connected with the driving of the Golden Spike at Promontory, Utah nearly 100 years ago - - May 10, 1869. Promontory is about 30 miles north of Ogden. Members of Blue Key who signed the document, establishing the library fund are Jones, Nolan Archibald, Lynn Bailey, Clyde Black, Howard Collett, Dennis Heiner, Bob Hunter, Mike Lyon, Dr. Quinn McKay (advisor), Jerry Nebeker, Bruce Nilson, Perry Perea, Jim Smout, Mac Stevenson, Jack Sut-tle my re, Clifford Vellinga, Brent Wilson, Roger Wise and Steve Young.

Policy meeting held The Union Policy Board approved interior designs of the new $2.5 million union addition this week. Color sketches and samples of interior materials were presented by architect Keith Wilcox and interior designer Larry Larsen. Entrance to the new structure will be carpeted and panelled in tones of dark brown and olive. The panelling and olive will accent most rooms in the building. One feature of the new addition - - the students' snack bar and smoking lounge - - was unani mously disapproved by the board. Larsen had named it The Wildcat Cate. The walls were covered with what one student officer described as leopard skin. "We are not the Weber State Leopards. We are the Weber State Wildcats," said financial vice president Brent Wilson. Other speciapareas of the union addition will include a sky room. It will be decorated in red, navy and purple.
