Representatives of the three bodies met regularly to plan their calendars and combine resources. From this, the various Ten Stake functions emerged, including the Roadshow in November, monthly firesides, and the Gold and Green Ball which replaced the junior prom this year. Student government and MIA shared labor and expenses in these functions, strength- ening the bonds between church and state. A survey was taken this winter to find out whether students involved in Church activities also become involved in school activities, why or why not, and how they make the choice. The results of this survey helped to determine what the needs are, how to meet them, and how to correlate the calendar from there. Another goal of the Activities Correlating Council is that of working together to reach the individual student, the Gertrude Gluttenfutch who knows few people and even fewer ways of meeting people. We want to find all the Gertrudes, reach out to them, and then pull them in to us, Alan related, but we have to work together to find her. The Council has also suggested the idea of sponsoring activities that do not require activity cards for the working husbands or wives of married students. This has been a serious problem, especially in the Sixth Stake, where most of the members are married, Alan explained. We eliminate a tenth of our students right there. ln meeting with the Board of Trustees, President Oaks, MIA boards, ASBYU officials, and students themselves, it has become evident that this problem of correlation, of working together, is a serious one, and will continue to grow. But it is hoped that through the Council, a feeling of credibility may be attained, to the great advantage of each student.

The New Provo Temple And verily I say unto you, let this be built unto my name, that l may reveal mine ordinances therein unto my people. Doctrine and Covenants 124:40 Since the restoration ofthe Church by joseph Smith in the early l800's, the Lord has emphasized through his prophets, the importance of work for the dead. Since the doctrines of eternal marriage, personal endowment, and baptism are essential for the exaltation of all people, it is necessary for living Church members to do their own work and the work of those deceased. Because of the sacred nature of this work, the Lord commanded joseph Smith to build a temple in which it could be per- formed. So, the first Mormon Temple in Kirtland, Ohio was built. It was later destroyed. However, as the Church grew, more temples were built, and with the completion of the new Provo and Ogden Temples, and the planned Washington Temple, work will be done in sixteen temples. Because of the great concentration of Church members in the Rockies, 52? of all the work done is done in the four Utah temples. During a busy month, as many as sixty young couples will be married per day in the Salt Lake Temple. Consequently, the First Presidency of the Church authorized the three new temples to be built, including the new structure in Provo.
