Quarters can get STUDENTS EVERYWHERE By TOM BUSSELBERG OGDEN If legislative proposals make it through both houses to a plus vote Weber State College could be sitting in better shape financially. THE legislatures higher education appropriations committee has okayed a $24.7 million budget for the four-yea- r school, nearly $300,000 higher than the legislative analysts recommendation and more than $500,000 above Gov. Scott Mathesons proposal. That, obviously, would please administrators at the college where enrollment has riipn nearly nine percent plight has BUT ANNUAL allocations havent reflected that trend, said Dean Hurst, assistant to College Pres. Rodney Brady for college relations. We're a victim of our own success, he noted, listing the colleges enrollment at about 10,800, placing it second in state schools behind the University of Utah. But it isnt enrollment tuition that pays the bulk of operations, Mr. Hurst said, noting that tuition only covers 15 percent of the bill, with the remainder coming from state funding. apparently re- ceived ground swell support in the legislature. Ahother definite plus to Weber State could come in the form of the old St. Benedicts Hospital. The state had earmarked $2 million for the hospitals conversion to a con- valescent center but those funds have since been designated to go towards construction of a new business education facility at WSC. NEED FOR that building was listed by Mr. Hurst as one of the major concerns at the college. In addition, he cited HE SAID the college went to , the need. for a new allied health fields facility; but emphasized the Board of Regents seeking a $1 million appropriation in- above that of the 1978-7- 9 year. project funding has been slow in coming for a school that has crease but they countered In fact, Weber State was the shed the old slang title of with only $250,000.

"We need $5 million in funds and if we receive $2 million from St. Benedicts we could apply to the building board. We would still need a couple million dollars. WEBER STATE has been given a "unique role" by the state to provide both liberal arts and vocational education, he said. Our mandate includes vocational and also allied health. In these roles we would hate to have to come up with any program to limit enrollment. The school already has the highest room utilization of any state school, Mr. Hurst added. He said overall the college is in an extremely healthy position and added that Pres. Brady feels the college could reach 15,000 students by 1990. BUT SUCH growth will require additional space, he Allied health sciences stands next in line for new facilities, he said. That is probably as critical a need as any on campus. The students are severely limited. They have to stack equipment in the halls. That makes it rather difficult. needs of the nation and the state indicate a great need and the building should be more than justified, he continued. An addition to the physical education building is also in the offing, he noted. So many respond to physical education as fun and games but it is a key factor under the direction of the educational department to the college program. We have had tremendous success with our intramural program but the facilities are really being taxed. the next (legislative) session (for funding)." building and Building Four for technology department use. ALLIED HEALTH sciences could receive funding at the same time if a state bond election is held in 1981 and funding is sufficient. Dr. Storey added. Right now theyre looking at maintaining and taking care of the existing buildings rather than new construction. Part of that includes $1.9 million in remodeling taking place in the old technology WITH THE main campus area pretty much complete" one of the few additions to that area will be noticed particularly by visitors. Built west of the administration building, a new' completion will provide visitors w ith maps and other aids, Mr. Hurst said. It was built with about $50,000 in donations. MORE HANDBALL courts, swimming facilities and other supportive areas may be included in the new portion, he indicated. Immediate action on any of these proposals isnt likely, however, said College Vice Pres. Dr. Jerald Storey. The Board of Regents in their latest official list included the building but business-- THAT IS in the talking stage with cost projected at million.
