Photo bj Stephen Mi low KEVl WHEATLEY, psychology professor, analyzes the different groups here on campus. Wheatley, 27, received his doctorate at the age of 24, and has been instructing here ever since. He received his doctorate from the University of Colorado when he was 24 and has taught at Weber State College ever since. Because of his youth he has an advantage over many professors. He can relate and "rap" with students in the UB coffee shop and elsewhere with both parties usually coming away benefiting from the encounter. Dr. Wheatley identified two large groups that contain the majority of the students. "True students," says Wheatley, "are up here to get an education. They ask good questions that interest them and the rest of the class. They always take classes that turn them on, not classes that friends take." "They're really after the knowledge. But I would guess this group only contains 20 percent of the students." Dr. Wheatley then identified the second large group. He labeled them the "Make Believe students." "They seem to understand what college is but do not have the motivation it takes to be a true student. They're not even the trimmings." Dr. Wheatley says, "They come up to school to get married, acquire prestige or because they're getting free money." "They can't get a good job so they come to school, which serves as a holding tank, to mature, or until they get tired and quit or flunk out." "Their friends are here, so it's a better place to be than home watching Captain Kangaroo:" Dr. Wheatley feels that this group is the reason the school has classes from 9 a.m. to noon. "They can't get up before 8 a.m. and have to be out doing Continued on Page 2 Weber State College president Dr. Joseph L. Bishop today announced the composition of the football staff for the coming season. The five assistant coaches named today complete the process of reorganizing the varsity football program after the resignation of Dick Gwinn earlier in the season. Named to assist Coach Pete Riehlman on the Wildcat staff were Art Calloway, presently an assistant at Chico State College in California; Edward Swartz, currently serving as assistant Athletic Director at Cal State-Santa Barbara; Charles Detwiler, presently an assistant at Olympus High School in Salt Lake City ; and Jim Fassel and Donald McCaulley, both of whom were on the staff at the University of Utah during the past season. "I feel very comfortable with my new assistants," Coach Riehlman commented. "They are the people I wanted with me at Weber State, and I feel we have the blend of experience and youth that is important on a staff. I know each of them very well, and have had pleasant and successful associations with them in the past. I am happy to be reunited with them." Art Calloway has been associated with Pete Riehlman on the staff at Chico State since 1972. The veteran Calloway will have as his primary responsibilities the defensive line and will also assist with the financial aids duties of the Weber State team. A Louisiana native, Calloway attended Grambling University on a baseball scholarship, but was enticed by the football coach to try out for that sport as well. He was the first Grambling player to start every game during his four years at the school. He was captain of the 1958 Grambling squad. He has earned numerous honors for his high school coaching, teaching, and community involvement during the past 18 years since his graduation. He will be Weber State's first black coach in any sport. Edward Swartz comes from Santa Barbara where he was associated with Riehlman on the staff of coach Jack Curtice. His main duties at Weber will be with the offensive backfield. He will also oversee the academic program for the team. A graduate of Northern Iowa University, Swartz has had extensive experience at that school as coach and assistant trainer. He moved to similar positions at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo before accepting a coaching position at the University of Santa Barbara. In 1970 he assumed additional duties as assistant director of athletics. He has also served as wrestling coach at the school . Chuck Detwiler is a familiar name in Utah football circles, having served as captain of the Utah State squad in 1968, and was named the Outstanding Player in the .1969 American Bowl game. After his graduation, Detwiler played for four professional football teams, the Green Bay Packers in 1969 , the San Diego Chargers from 1970-1972, the St. Louis Cardinals in 1973, and the Hawaiian WFL squad in 1974-75. He has been football coach and assistant basketball coach at Olympus High school for the past two seasons. It was with the Hawaii team mat Detwiler began his relationship with coach Riehlman. Detwiler's primary duties with the Weber State team will be coaching the defensive backfield a logical position for the man described as "one of the best hitting safeties ever to play collegiate ball." Youngest member of the new staff is Jim Fassel, the offensive coordinator of the staff. Fassel, 26, is a former pro football quarterback and coach. He has served the past season as the quarterback and receiver coach at the University of Utah. Fassell played at Fullerton Junior College, Long Beach State, and Southern California. He earned numerous honors at each school, and led the 1969 Trojans to a PAC-8 championship and a Rose Bowl victory over Michigan. Fassel played professionally with the Chicago Bears, who drafted him in the fourth round, and also saw action with San Diego and Houston. He coached at Hawaii with Riehlman. Don McCaulley will be defensive coordinator for the Wildcats, a position he has held at the University of Utah. McCaulley first became associated with Coach Riehlman at Chico State, where he spent six years before coming to Utah. McCaulley is a graduate of Buena Vista College, and has obtained post-graduate degrees at Indiana University. He has coached high school and college levels with stints at Indiana and Richmond University in addition to his experience at Chico State and Utah. "We think the caliber of our coaching staff will be an attraction in our recruiting efforts," Coach Riehlman said. "They are especially knowledgeable of what it takes to play professional ball, and I believe that youngsters will appreciate being instructed by a coach who can help them in their future professional careers. It is another real strength of this staff." Three of the assistants are currently on the road in their recruiting efforts.
