Other events such as Homecoming, Mardi Gras, and Conventions will have to be paid for through student funds. There is a possibility of some administrative support on cultural events and speakers, but these also will be mainly supported through SGAC funds. Dean Stewart reported that he and Mr. Sims are working on a student handbook which, among other things, will include all college rules and regulations. The book will be ready by fall regisSGAC officers had the third tration. The final point of business was a report by Dick Paff on the meeting the lounge building committee held with Mr. Cox.

The roads commission has used the excuse about the bad weather for untold years. It appears that if the road commission has a deal going with the local garages in town. It seems strange that very few other states with the same climate have this overwhelming problem of bad highways. The reason behind all of this is bad planning. The interstate highway from Salt Lake City to Bountiful didnt make it one year before it had to be refinished again. This is costing the taxpayer untold amounts of money that could have been spent better if the job had been done right the first time. A new planning commission or better contractors are desperately needed to solve this problem. Someone offered a brilliant suggestion as to how to solve the problem.
