Show Published By The Associated Students Of Weber College Vol. 1 April 3, 1934 ; No. 12 REVOLUTION NUMBER TWO: $15,000 has been received for the remodeling of the gymnasium. Bids will be opened on April 6. Work will begin immediately thereafter. The project calls for a stairway of brick and terra cotta to rise from the present west terrace, with ramps leading to each floor. A direct entrance will be provided to the men's locker rooms, to the ballroom, and to the gymnasium floor, so that the public may forego the preliminary journey through our present intricate system of corridors. These corridors will be removed to make available more space. The street entrances to the present lobby will be closed, to permit beaut i f i cat i on of that room. The project calls also for remodeling of the men's locker rooms. An attempt is being made to spend the entire amount on materials and secure CWA labor, thus making possible more improvements. DRAMATICS: Dramatics this quarter will be confined to the presentation of one-act plays in the assembly after the completion of the auditorium May 1. Production of the annual three-act play and entrance of one acts in the Provo contest are impossible, however, because of the condition of the school, lack of a stage for rehearsals, and the ill health of Mr. Allred. Mr. Allred left last Friday to take a rest cure in a Salt Lake hospital. For some time he has suffered from an infection on his face and has been unable to find an efficacious cure. CAMPUS VISIONS: Four crews of three engineering students each are surveying the college campus and mapping its topography for the purpose of determining the best plan. for rearrangement. They are to decide the problems of filling in the northwest corner, the leveling of other sections, the number and location of terraces, and the position of sidewalks and driveways. Each crew works one night a week under the supervision of Mr. Li ttlef ield. One basic plan, drawn from all four, is expected to be completed within three weeks. The work was begun after being suggested by President Tracy. Using the engineer's plan as a basis, the forestry students will decide the location of flower beds, grass plots, and shrubbery.

The debating party which participated in the Junior College debating tournament March 22 and 23 in Pasadena, Cal., returned home March 26. They talk a great deal about experiences other than debating, and it is rumored that one of the girls has written a poem, "Ode on the Intimations of Immorality." SOLICITATION: The Weber college faculty set out last week to contact high school graduates, with a view to persuading students to attend Weber next year. Mr. Benson went to Box Elder and Bear River high schools. 42 students at Box Elder listed Weber as most likely choice, 40 as second choice. 20 students at Bear River will probably attend Weber. Mr. Benson predicts we will have probably 60 new students from Box Elder county next year, as compared with 40 this year. Mr. Croft, Mr. Stevenson, and Mr. Thatcher went to Weber high school and found that of 175 graduates we are likely to get 60 or more. Altogether in our area 950 students will be graduated this year. From all indications one-third of these will attend Weber. THE CAMPUS UNIQUE: A new campus phenomenon is exciting the interest of scholarly minds. Geologists are attempting to discover in what geologic period that immence pile of sediments west of the new excavations was laid down. Zoologists are attempting to identify the animal tracks found exposed on the surface. It is reported that one couple in the composition class have used it for poetic inspiration. |
