However, she said the way they have the grill set up now is an improvement for deaf students because people write their orders on paper and submit them that way. Morris agreed. "They see the new building and everything," Morris said, "but their access problem still exists. People don't know sign language." For the most part though, the students at the disability center agree the new Union Building is superior to the old one. "You give a little," Price said, "and you get a little, if that makes sense."

As long as they're involved that's what our goal is." Schwab said he felt Greek council is moving in a positive direction for student involvement. "Our biggest goal is to engage students in Weber and what Weber is doing. Whatever programs are going on are positive for Weber State," Schwab said. "We made a big push for students to get involved in whatever activities are going on at the beginning of the year. We're trying to get students a broader experience."

"Yes, we do have fun as you can see, but our main goal here is to help integrate students into the community here." WSU Student Body President Dan Schwab made an appearance to help show his support for the Greek Council and the. student body as a whole. "I got an invite from Brad, and I decided to come," Schwab said. "Our goal this year is to work together so that everybody is successful and having a good year. "Students typically do better academically and stay on the CO size of the wall from famous Swedish waltzes. Two stereos bounce the mood along the walls as artwork depicting Sweden's rich landscapes and many moods are canvassed throughout the exhibit. Akebrand traveled to Sweden this past July to sketch the landscape and listen to the music. She created a portrait of the songs and landscapes of Sweden. The exhibit features two songs by Evert Taube, Sweden's national poet and famous Swedish singer. Both songs played on the stereos are Swedish waltzes. The words on the walls are lyrics from the featured songs "Kom i min Famn" and "Calle Schewens Vals." She said art viewers should be open-minded and not worry about putting too much pressure on themselves to understand everything. "(Don't) be afraid to be confused," Akebrand said. "Sometimes people, they want to get the truth out of it, as if there was one ultimate truth out of it." The artwork depicts her impressions of the waltz, because as she sees it, "The entire thing is like a dance." She said some parts of the songs are blooming, depicted in a colorful painting of flowers. Other parts are meant to be very simple, expressed in a graphite line drawing of a farm. Sweden also has multiple dark themes of music, which Akebrand wanted to incorporate into her artwork but decided to showcase more when she went there this past summer. She realized Sweden is also about happiness and blooming, and said she felt like she had to have both sides of emotion in the artwork. The writing on the walls took several days in a series of many hours at a time. Writing on the wall was a new experience for her because, although she grew up speaking it, she never learned to write the language. She said she used a reference to make sure she spelled everything correctly because Swedish is a language that sounds very different from the way it is spelled. The most exciting part for Akebrand is the creation of artwork with song. "When you listen to music," she said, "it comes as this image in your head." The Union Gallery rotates different artists and installments throughout the year. "I think what's most interesting is that it can be dedicated to one artist," said Randy Wood, a student from the University of Utah. "It's just one particular style of Amanda's that you can really see what she's thinking. It think it's really moving." Wood stopped by with the Union Programming Council. As part of their gallery stroll, Wood and a friend came to see what Weber State had to offer. The two students offered to house Akebrand's exhibit on their campus after it is done at Weber. The exhibit has been up for a couple of weeks. Typically artwork stays up for about a month and Akebrand's work will be up through the end of October. She was quite excited to have her work up in the exhibit. "Having to make something that makes sense has really pushed my artwork further," Akebrand said. "It's not like I just made some stuff and put it up. I had to figure something out." The Greek council has been successful in their efforts to raise awareness about Greek Life, and include and support students at Weber. "It's a lot better than it was four years ago," said Adam Perkins a WSU senior business major and former Pi Capa Alpha president. "We've gotta get the Greeks to grow." Activities that the council has held to not only raise awareness about their organization but also to serve the community include Relay for Life, which they held last year and will again next semester.
