Show CSU Students, Faculty Join Forces in Planning Campus Improvement By Sallie Lee Williams ' Annual Beautification Day at the College of Southern Utah, scheduled for Thursday, April 19 under direction of Gerry Bragg, student body executive president, and his co-chairman, Steve Stephenson, has in recent years developed a tradition tra-dition instilling close relationship between students stu-dents and faculty unsurpassed, and probably unequalled, on any college campus. Unlike the high school B-days, B-days, filled with washing windows win-dows and cleaning school yards, CSU's B-Day finds the students and faculty members working together on specific projects designed to enhance the beauty of the campus and improve the physical school plant. CSU's B-Day is particularly partic-ularly unique because all stu-dents stu-dents attend regular classes (although in "grubs") and work on these projects during their free time. Emphasized are campus-wide projects with faculty members as co-workers. Working alongside the third-quarter third-quarter freshman, chopping trees or pouring cement in sloppy sweatshirt, dirty Keds and Levis, may be his English. History, or Chemistry I teacher. teach-er. Selected as the major project proj-ect for the 1961-62 B-Day is erection of a marquee in front of the auditorium bearing bear-ing the college emblem (Thunderbird) and enscribed with the words "College of Southern Utah." Cost will be well over $300 and the project will be financed fi-nanced by "selling" shares of the marquee to the students. Other projects to be completed com-pleted with student executive officers in charge include repainting re-painting and repairing curbs at the men's residence hall, con-sturcting con-sturcting a fence between the Arts and Crafts building and the old Chemistry Lab. digging a trench for a sprinkling system sys-tem at Manzanita Court, the new women's dorm; constructing construct-ing a walk between the Library Li-brary and the new Student Center, and cleaning up eyesores eye-sores around the student center cen-ter and other portions of the campus. To complete these projects, 700 students will work three hours each, which adds up to the equivalent of one man working a full year, 40 hours a week, or a total of 2040 hours. Which is ample evidence that students of the College of Southern Utah not only strive for academic excellence and the cultural advantages of college col-lege life, but contribute voluntary volun-tary physical labor to round out and insure continuation of the high standards stressed at the College of Southern Utah. |
