Trade Tech Opens Oicls, Set Partial Move of Campus Fall of 1976 is the target date for moving classes in automotive trades and business instruction on to the new Orem campus of Utah Technical College at Provo, according to President Wilson W. Sorensen. His announcement came after four successful bid openings over the last several weeks on three buildings and a canal the first phase of construction on the new campus which will ultimately house the entire college. President Sorensen pointed out that instruction in the several other departments of the college will continue on the Provo campus until suf-ficient funds can be obtained to construct the necessary buildings in Orem to house the entire institution. President Sorensen noted that all four of the first-phas- e low bids were well under ar-chitects' estimates thus clearing the way for formal letting of the bids which is expected in the not too distant future. Low base bid for an automotive trades building was $2.3 million. Low base bid for the business building came at $2,007,000. The heating plant came in with a low base bid of $1.1 million. And a small but necessary project to n canals now on the Orem campus was bid low at $46,900. There will be some alternates added to these base bids, said President Sorensen, however, the four low base bids were under the acceptable ar-chitects' estimates. This leaves the initial phase cost just below the $8 million appropriated by the 1972 legislature to start construction on the new campus, and this amount has been drawing in-terest since the 1972 allocation, interest which may be added to the fund under terms of the appropriation. The automotive trades and business buildings were given priority on the new campus, according to President Sorensen, because these two departments are now being housed either in rented quarters or temporary classroom trailers moved onto the overcrowded campus. The heating plant was, of course necessary to go along with any initial con-struction. Low base bidders on the projects were Culp Con-struction Company of Salt Lake for the automotive trades building, Cannoti-Papauikola- s of Salt Lake City for the business building, Max Gammon Construction Com-pany of Provo for the heating plant, and L. C. Nelson Con-struction Company of Orem for the canal "Construction caji begin on some phases within 30 days," said President Sorensen, "with complepon slated by the summer of 1976. This means we can begin classes in the two departments automotive trades and business for the fall quarter of 1976." Complete removal of the college to the Orem campus will undoubtedly come in stages, said the president, as fast as sufficient ap-propriations can be obtained from the state legislature. Meanwhile, he said, while a split campus will entail in-convenience, it will be necessary to operate the Provo campus for remaining facilities until they are transferred. The Orem campus is located in the elbow of and Orem's 12th South east of the freeway and north of 12th South. It consists of 185 acres purchased many years ago by the state in anticipation of meeting the growing needs of Utah Technical College at Provo, now boxed in on a e Provo (Continued on page5) Timp Stake Relief Society Sets Class For 'Make Overs' The Timpanogos Stake Relief Society is inviting ladies in the area to attend a demon-stration of "Modern Make Overs."

Sixteen people havebeen arrested in Utah for cutting copper wire from telephone lines during the past year. The wire is generally sold to salvage yards or taken out of state. This year wire valued at $38,000 has been stolen from various Utah lines adding up to over one million conductor feet of wire. Some of the thefts have been committed by people iden-tifying themselves as Mountain Bell employees according to Andrews. In a recent incident in Tooele County three men told ranchers they were under contract to remove the lines. One rancher became suspicious and called the Tooele County Sheriff's office. The three men were arrested and charged with copper wire theft. The rancher who reported the theft was rewarded by the telephone company for getting involved. Andrews said the copper thefts sometimes isolate towns. The city of Manti was entirely cut off from long distance telephone communications earlier this year when wire thieves cut the lines going out of twon. He pointed out the danger to residents of small com-munities w ho depend on phone service to summon emergency help from neighboring tow:ns. Andrews asked the public to help protect the telephone service of neighbors by reporting any suspicious ac-tivities near telephone lines to local police or sheriff's office. Mountain Bell linemen can be identified by their vehicles or company I D. badges when they are working on the telephone lines.
