This time it is the receipt of an o il painting, the first such gift to the school in its 23 year history. The painting was presented to College Pres. Jay L.

I-- A I-- A New Utah Tech Off Campus Facility Utah Techs newThird Campus near Fourth West and Second South now is in full operation. The schools new educational facility, leased for one year for an undisclosed amount from Arnold Machinery Co., houses 75 first year students from an over flow enrolment in heavyduty mechanics and auto mechanics. Utah Tech Vice President Dr. R. H. Hansen, says the college may plan indefinite future use of the building until additional heavy duty mechanics class space is constructed on the colleges main campus. An auto trades building on the colleges main campus presently does double duty for both mechanics programs. The schools administration has urged construction of a heavy duty mechanics building on its main campus. Utah Techs other instructional facility is its original school location at Fourth South and Sixth East. Instruction in the newly leased building has been hampered due to lack of heat. Three regular mechanics instructors and three instructors in math, English and other related subjects, teach the students, who spend up to six hours daily at Utah Techs new Third campus. The American Bible Society, New York, has distributed one billion copies of Scripture since How do you relate to a locomotive? Something you waved to when you were a kid? Or something you waited for at the crossing? A train, to most people. Is like someone you meet in a reception line. A casual, passing relationship. Nothing personal. But a train is personal. It's deeply involved in your everyday life. The web of rails crossing our country is like a lifeline. Carrying nourishment from farm to city. Feeding raw materials to factories and manufactured goods to the marketplace. A train is quiet, out of the way, in the background, but always working for you in a very personal way. Bringing you the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the chair you're sitting in. Think about it the next time you see the UP shield. You might even want to start waving at trains again.
