Show THE SIGNPOST Tuesday, August 7, 1990 News Weber's new name causes changes to school's official logo Some oppose use of updated centennial logo, prefer new design for new name By Christine Rasmussen News Editor of The Signpost 2 With printing of the new stationery for Weber State University to begin in September, a logo selection committee will be meeting on August 14 to decide what will be the university's official seal. The current seal was developed in the mid-seventies, which features a full view of the Stewart Bell Tower and a letter "W." During Weber State's centennial year, Robert Winward, design manager for Continuing Education, designed the original centennial logo which features a close-up view of the Stewart Bell Tower. Currently, these are the main options for the university seal. "When I created the centennial logo, it was meant to be used only during the centennial celebration," said Winward. "I would prefer it not to be used as the university logo because that is not what it was created for." Winward said the reasons he opposes the use of an updated centennial logo to represent the university are reproduction problems, invalid representation of school, and the lack of bell tower recognition outside of the Weber County area. till Weber State 1 WSC current logo with university changes.

Cherrie Brown, chair of the committee, said the theme from "An Officer and a Gentleman" was selected to represent the change over to university status. "Nikki Bryant, a homecoming committee member came up with the idea, after weeks of trying to decide on one. With the accentuation on the U' and a forward 'W,' I think it emphasizes the idea that Weber is finally getting the recognition and status that we deserve," Brown said. "During the next three months, we will be planning the activities that will be occurring during the week of homecoming," Brown said. "Anyone who would like to participate on a committee is welcome to attend the Aug. 13 meetingat 10:30a.m. inroom325of the Union Building." The Homecoming Central Committees include: royalty, painting of the W, half time entertainment, parade, spirit competition, homecoming dance, outside carnival, daily activities and publicity. The WSC Alumni Association is also accepting nominations for their annual banquet that honors both distinguished alumni and service award. Nomination forms are available in the Alumni Office, and are due by Sept. 5. Peters named dean of Student Life J. Lee Peters will replace Richard Sline as Dean of Student Life at Weber State.

Other qualifications he obtained as director of Student Activities and Placement at Franklin University and as director of Residence LifeSummer Conference Coordinator at Dominican College. Peters was described by Marie Kotter, Vice President for Student Services at Weber State, as being an "innovative, energetic administrator who has a record of developing and implementing programs which have campus wide support and lasting, long-term, positive effects. His experience in campus recreation, student activities and residence life at several institutions provide a broad background in Student Life. He has extremely good communication skills and works well with faculty, staff and students." CZECH (continued from page 1) 20 "to meet with the leaders of the schools in those countries," Gunn said. Poland may also be on their itinerary. Toyn said their goal is "to organize distribution points so the books don't end up sitting in a warehouse somewhere." Plans have also been made to meet the minister of education of Czechoslovakia, Pavel Cimk, and the minister of education in Romania. Toyn said they hope to meet with the ministers of education of all the countries they will visit. Also, the U.S. Embassy in Czechoslovakia and the Czechoslovakian Embassy in Washington are trying to arrange a meeting for Toyn and Gunn with Vaclev Havel, the president of Czechoslovakia. Gunn will document the trip on video to show the need of the text books as requested by the National Association of College Broadcasters. The video will be broadcasted over learning and public service broadcasting stations around the United States to inform people of the situation and to solicit help. "There's an excess of text books sent free to get people to use them," said Gunn. "Nobody will have to give something that will cost them money." While there, efforts will be made to establish an exchange program with the eastern schools and Weber State. However, said Dr. Sherwin Howard of the School of Arts and Humanities, it is not sure whether this will be successful. Funding from the school and grants from McKay Dee Hospital, Matrixx Marketing, Joseph Albert Jewelers and other companies will fund the trip. PHOTOCOP police department said that the city has been looking at photo radar for several months, but until now has had higher priorities. When asked when the radar system would be put in place. (continued from page 1) Talbot said, "Right now, there are just too many loose ends. The publicity has overrun the actual event." Several legal implications, such as what to do if someone gets a ticket while borrowing a car, need to be finalized before Photocop can be used Talbot said. He said that in the future, higher technology may make adjustments to the existing Photocop, but that it is here to stay. |
