Show V VMC halls decked out for holiday CEDAR CITY - Halls at the Valley View Medical Center are decked in holiday finery thanks to a group of Southern Utah State College business students. SUSC's 40-member Chi Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Lambda, a national business organization, met at the hospital recently to decorate trees, string tinsel and dress the halls in Yuletide gaiety. According to Ronald Bliss, Chi Alpha reporter, this is the fifth year that the SU5C- club has decorated the medical center.

Doris Williamson, associate professor of business, is the Chi Alpha Chapter advisor. Chapter activities this year are being directed by A. True Ott, a senior accounting major from Tropic. The chapter president was Chi Alpha service chairman last year. Preparations are now underway, Ott said, to select Chi Alpha's annual Businessperson of the Year and for chapter participation in the State PBL Leadership Conference Con-ference that will be held at Dixie College in May. Fall quarter activities, he said, included attendance at-tendance by several members at the Western Regional FBLA-PBL Leadership Conference in Salt Lake City, fund-raising fund-raising dance and a turkey raffle.
