cheaper on campus. Ii could be placed east of the Peripheral Acces » Road and north of 4100 South Street. WSC already ).x this land available and if it were then used. WSC could finally 9et some use out of the Access Road. This would save monev and bring WSC buildings into a more centrally located l sHion where students and visitors could use parking on campus instead of paving parking lots some place else. The second negative aspect is funding. Weber State Col- lege is using money for the Special Events Center from stu- nts who are attending the school now. Figuring an average enrollment of only nine thousand students, each paying nine extra dollars per quarter for the Special Events Center. $810,000.00 will be collected from students who will possibly never use or even see the Center. If students ore to pay for the construction of the Center, only those students who are on campus when the building Is completed should have to pay for it- The students who are here now are paying for some- thing that means nothing to them now and WSC could prob- ably use student money for things of higher priority. In my opinion, the Fund Rising Committee is not going for enough in its efforts to raise money. It should look into the possibility of sell- ing leases for food and drink concessions in the Special Events Center. Companies will surely be willing to pay for the advertisement and exclusive rights to sell their products In the Center. These com- panies could probably also be persuaded to pay for the construction costs of putting in their booths and stands. The Fund Raising Committee should also be getting hinds from the Athletics Depart- ment. since they will be using it the most. The Committee should also check with the Big Sky Conference Athletic Association to see if they could secure money from them, since the Special Events Center will surely enhance the Con- ference and its member school The third negative aspect of the Special Events Center Is th.it there has been little community Involvement In efforts to raise money for it and little community support for h. Weber State College will remain Harrison High School if it does not acthvjy tTy to enhance h stature in the community. WSC should go out Into the Ogden community and promote the Special Events Center. The Center is not just for Weber State College’s use and it should be stressed that the community Is always invited to use it. If this is done, Weber’s image In tbe community should grow and more funds should come in lor not only the Special Events Center, but also for the devel- opment of the entire WSC campus. One good aspect of the proposed Center is that it should bring greater support for Weber State College from the com- n,unity. This can be accomplished if WSC is willing to sac- rtfice and think of Its students and the community before it- lf. The $7.7 billion needed for the Special Events Center is a small amount to invest for the future support and good will that can be obtained from not only the community but also from the students of today who will be the future alumni. The response by the community so far in donating funds for the Center has been very promising and is perhaps aft indi- cation of the community’s interest in WSC. If more of the Ogden community showed this much interest In Weber State College, perhaps the college would have fewer problems In receiving funds for all the many worthwhile projects needed on this campus. Even though the Special Events Center could have had better Ideas in the planning stages, it is still a very worth- while project that shows the foresight and knowledge that can help Weber State gain wider recognition as the only school in the West that is the “total” college, the only school that has everything to offer its students. The Center should help not only WSC’s athletic program, but also Ogden’s en- tertainment and cultural programs by allowing these pro- grams to have a greater freedom in the selection of acts that can be brought to Weber State and Ogden. Addendum On Saturday evening. March 23. a special recognition banquet was held in the Union Skyroom Restaurant. An an- nouncement was made at this time that two families were donating $1,000,000. each to the Special Events Center. Mr. and Mrs. Donnell B. Stewart had pledged $500,000. but at the banquet they doubled their donation. In connection with the Stewart gift. Mr. and Mrs. Laur- ence T. Dee made public their donation $1,000,000. Consid- ered to be a $2,000,000 family gift (Mrs. Stewart’s mother was Elizabeth Dee Shaw, a sister to Lawrence T. Dee: they were son and daughter of pfoneer industrialist Thomas D. Dee) the new name for the complex is the Dee Events Center. Weber State College President. Joseph L Bishop, comment- ed that the $2,000,000 is believed to be the largest cash gift to a Utah public Institutfon of higher learning in the State's history. A resolution was passed by the Weber State Institu- tional Council officially designating the structure as the Dee Events Center. The resolution said in part ... “In recognition of the common ancestry that unites these two donor families (Dees and Stewarts) and symbolizing a proud heritage in the community and state, the Special Events Center... be official- ly designated 'Dee Events Center and so memorialize one of the community's proud pioneer families long associated with industry, integrity, charity and honor. ‘CThH cdtaofbl dor» not n r t«ari)y rrikvl «he opinion ot ih mt ol i hr RETROSPECT «ul o« of the WSC •dtninkUMion)
