Kent Randall TECHNICAL EDUCATION The opportunity for young people is in the West. Young people should prepare themselves for that opportunity, says Lorenzo E. Peterson, chairman of the Technical Education Division. The buildings and equipment needed for the four-year tran- sition are already supplied for this division, because of its simt '- taneous growth with the rapidly developing space age. Young people really need to be a part of the space age rather than just to talk about it, appeals Mr. Peterson. The community is served by supplying it with a sufficient amount of highly skilled workers. During the four-year transition a considerable expansion will take place in areas ranging from electronics to instrumentation. One new type of equipment to be used in the four-year program will be three-dimensional microscopes. The highly skilled and completely honest technician of today must do work within one millionth of an inch; otherwise, work is considered scrap, slates the division head. Don A.

The Grecian ideal of the sound body for the sound mind summarizes the basic aim of the four-year program in the Physi- cal Education Division, points out Dr. Reed K. Swenson, chairman. The magnificent new gymnasium now under construction, to- gether with spacious playing fields adjoining, will be the spring- board to this enlarged program. The thoroughly modern conveniences afforded in a bigger, newer gymnasium will offer the students a physical challenge and an opportunity to develop mental and muscular tone in stimulating menti-motor activities. Since majors in highly academic areas, such as history and engineering, sometimes lose sight of the significance of satisfying and essential health requirements, due to their intense pursuit of specialized knowledge, they will find it convenient to attain physical development and relaxation from the tensions which such a strenuous curriculum can produce when the new gymnasium is completed, and now.

Barton Chairman HUMANITIES The aim of the Humanities Division is to make man more humane, to raise his ideals and standard of human values ' states Dr. Leland H. Monson, chairman. This division is interested in disciplining the human mind and mastering the human emotions to help people to have better family relations with the family, the nation, and foreign countries. The four-year fine arts program will bring to Ogden an air of culture which it has never before had. Weber tries to tie itself to the community as the cultural center of the community. People from the community are used in certain plays and musicals. The division of humanities is more closely tied to the community here than anywhere else in the state, states Dr. Monson. English teachers will be in demand, for they are more greatly needed than any other type of teacher throughout the state. In the near future an auditorium, which will seat approxi- mately 1,800 people, and fine arts building will be erected just south of the new union building. The division sponsors the twenty-fifth Annual Weber College High School Debating Tournament this year with an estimated 1,400 people attended from Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming. A substantial increase in student growth is anticipated for the four-year program. 14
