While the band played in the lobby of the capitol, the Junior College Bill was being debated in the chambers of the legislature. Girl debaters, of Weber, presented the five women members of the legislature with roses and discussed the college bill with them. Most of them believed in junior colleges as an important part of our educational system, and promised to do their best for us. One member said she would like to be in the legislature when there was no depression in order that she could vote for a generous appropriation for so worthy a cause. The students made such a favorable impression that the legislators did not think it necessary to make a trip to the college for inspection. The bill, providing for the continuation of junior colleges in Utah, has been approved, providing appropriations do not interfere with the state's economy program. Judging by its favorable results, the trip may be said to have accomplish ed its purpose. legis-altu- state-support- ACROSS THE SEA w Taggarfs Music Brown Derby In Berthana Ballroom Winner Chosen Committees Active Campus Personalities i be-4j-- Jt Frosh President Is Improving After Operation Martha Holt was chosen queen of tne Brown Derby by popular acclama tion in Devotional last week.

"This is the greatest junior college bill in the world," said President Tracy enthusiastically in Wednesday's asi sembly. Mr. Monson, who enumerated the highlights of the six year battle, stated, "I think this is the greatest victory Weber college has known." Mr. Monson told how, six years ago President Tracy at a convention in Ogden, met Mr. Morgan, a prominent California educator who was ' very much in favor of independent, state support for junior colleges. He convinced President Tracy of the advisability of the plan and on his return he commenced the work which ended in Tuesday's victory. President Mr. Monson compared advanced whose to Columbus, Tracy ideas were ridiculed because they were new, for at a meeting shortly after his return, he stood alone in his advocation for junior colleges as instituindependent, tions. All others were in favor of university control or some other system. ..His idea was opertiy or by many. Nevertheless, he spoke in many of the Lions clubs in the southern part of the state where he gained much prestige. A bill to make Weber a branch of the university of Utah failed in the state legislature. Two years ago, a bill providing for state support had an amendment by which partial support was to be given through local taxation. This amendment was removed in Tuesday's vote, and only minor ones provided, such as uniform fees for the three junior colleges. In speaking of the future of the institution and its changes, Mr. Monson concluded, "I should like to know what President Tracy is dreaming of, for his are the dreams that come true." Gives Views d |
