Show July 14, 1967 Page 4 COLLEGIATE WEEKLY Dormitories Given Funds JUULSUUL RADCLIFFE College it's a summer course for secretaries. Job hunting can be blissful for the girl with a college degree and secretarial training. Employers seek you, instead of you trudging from office to office, because you're one of those rare females who didn't use the hunt and peck method to type your English term papers. But how do you get the training?For those who shy away from a year-long program at a secretarial school, Radcliffe College offers a special concentrated summer course. It is open to graduates of any four-year or junior college. The course includes typing, shorthand and some office procedures. Radcliffe provides the facilities and administration of the course, while the teaching staff comes from a secretarial school In Boston. Students who come to the course with typing ability, can hope to reach a speed of 65-90 words per minute, and most beginners reach 35 to 50 words per minute. In addition to Intensive drill in alphabetical shorthand, the girls learn how to operate the IBM electric machine, the Ediphone, to cut stencils and run a mimeograph machine. The course is limited to 225 students, and it's on a first-come, first served basis. No straight commercial students are admitted, and it is conducted in an academic manner, although no credits are given. Classes are held from nine to three every day, except Friday when they end at one. But most girls spend at least three to five hours every night, say they find the course more rigorous than college work. Few, if any, drop out. Because the work is so demanding, the girls are not permitted to take additional courses. Although the course Is certainly not a guarantee of a future job, every year representatives of hospitals, educational instutions and industry come to Radcliffe looking for employes. The Boston area has become a mecca for the working girl and publishing houses, Harvard, M.I.T. Arthur D. Little and other concerns all take a number of the course graduates every year. The Radcliffe Appointment Bureau also assists the girls in their future job plans. If interested, write to Radcliffe, Boston, Mass. for details on the course. Although classes have closed for this summer, it's never too early to be thinking of next year.

James R. Foulger, WSC business vice president, said the loan was approved last September by the Housing and Home Finance Agency in Washington, D. C. Loan Released The loan could not be released by the board until federal officials in San Francisco, California gave their approval for release of the loan, he said. Construction of the dormitory will be financed with a $2 million in bonds to be redeemed at 3 per cent interest over a two year period, Foulger said. The college, at present, has allowed $1.8 million for construction costs and $200,000 for contingent expenses, he said. Foulger said these plans could be altered, as low bid for the project is $1,896, some $96,000 more than the college anticipated.Bond Revenues Repayment of the loan will be made with revenues from the housing facilities, he said. Site clearance for the dormitory has been completed by the Horne-Zwick Construction Company of Salt Lake City, low bidders on the project. The 12 story structure will be erected west and slightly south of the three existing dormitories, and will include 10 floors for living quarters for 366 male students and two floors for dining facilities. Landscaping around Wasatch, La Salle and the other women's dormitory is now being completed by work crews. Director of housing at Weber State College is Karl G. Wood.

A local sporting goods store in Ogden as itappeared in the late 1800's. "Buffalo Bill" Purchased Harnesses at His Store In keeping with the "Pioneer Days" spirit now a part of community and college life this week, the owner of the Cross Western Store in Ogden remembers when "Buffalo Bill" purchased harnesses and bridles." . C. W. Cross, now a retired businessman, gazed at people wearing "western duds" in celebration of "Pioneer Days" and said, "Buffalo Bill was a friend of my father's and he and his gang used to come to the store regularly. Saddles The name of the store at that time was the "C. W. Cross Harness and Saddlery Shop," which first opened its doors in 1878. "I took over the store in 1913," he said, "about the time the cut-off over the Great Salt Lake was being built." People in those times didn't have wallets or purses, he recalled, Bob Hope f 8 ON THE LAM ! Shows: I 7-9 Fri.-Sat.

"The harness business was good," he said. At one time, nine leather workers were employed by Cross, even though his complete stock consisted of one horse and a buck-board wagon. Harnesses He even dabbled in the motion picture business, furnishing the directors of the "Covered Wagon" with 75 sets of harnesses in less than two weeks. "Times changes and suddenly the horse became a very unimportant part of everything, he said. "Farm machinery replaced the tradition work horse and gradually the harness business began to slack off and finally die." Cross said that modern times have demanded they add sporting goods to the store's line of stock - - "but it's good stuff," he said. Rural ranchers in Farr West and North Ogden help "keep the spirit of the west alive," he said, "but it's when everyone dresses up that I'm reminded of how Ogden used to be." "I'll be wearing my ten gallon hat during the next two weeks," Cross added, "and I hope a lot of other people will be wearing hats, too." 2343 Kiesel Avenue 3717 Riverdale Rd. IllUml II I I I |
