              FRADEWIND VOLUME 1, NUMBER 8 UTAH TECHNICAL COLLEGE OF PROVO MONDAY. JANUARY 27, 1975 Focus On Women Utah Women Stronger Than Any Other Women tr BY Ruth Mikkelsen "The women of the United States harbor the strength to change the future of the world. But we need to raise the level of consciousness and awareness of what their roles can be," said Dr. Virginia F. Cutler, whokey-noted UTC's AWS Focus on Women. Dr. Cutler is the Chairman o f Major Appliance Consumer Action Panel and also Dean and Distinguished Professor Emeritus, BrighamYoung University. Dr. Cutler stated, The United Nations has recognized women on a world-wide basis. The year, 1975, is International Women's Year, which will strongly be represented by the United States. President Ford has said he would be president of ALL people in the United States." "The greatest role of woman is in the home, although, the same woman may have roles in other places and areas at the same time. In Utah, women should be stronger than any other women in the world because they are descendants of the poineers. Women need to be worthy to develop and create ideas for the world. Right now, is the best time to be a women," commented Dr. Cutler.According toDr.Cutler, women out number men in the Uni- UTC Dental Clinic Taking Appointments Sheron Lowery announced last week that the Dental Assistants at the UTC are offering their annual free dental clinic. The clinic is open to all UTC students, faculty, and staff. It will be necessary to make appointments in room MHO prior to your checkup. The clinic consists of three fifteen-minute visits.The first visit is to teach you some facts about care of your teeth. The second will include cleaning the teeth. And the third will be for X-ravs. A treatment plan for other dental) work .such as fillings may also be set up. The clinics will be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, from 8:30 to 11:30 in room M-110. ted States, thus, women should be on the local, state.and federal levels of government. Eighty per cent of the million people in nursing homes today are women. It is up to us to motivate ourselves and continue to be able, keen, and awake. We must plan now, to stay vital and make the most of our life when we get old. Work for women which was in the home has moved out into the community. Women have always worked, but not for a wage. Women doing this type of work contribute to the economy of America. Dr. Cutler said, "Each woman can develop her personal, definite role as a woman by getting rid of the sex stereo type. "Women are strong not weak and fragile as tradition suggests. Counteract prejudices, they must be eliminated. Women are not inferior; women are special individuals, too, Develop greater understanding about marriage and partnership, and remember the most wonderful privilege a woman can have is to bring a new life into the world." Dr. Cutler closed with these remarks, "We must know where women's rights come from and are in the Constitution of the United States. We must have am-mendments that provide for and relate to those rights of the Constitution for women." " i UL . r " i-- i 1 t 1 - , - -V . v i I , i ! 1 ' !' ... - H; 1 : i l ? $ .

Photo by B. Harmon President Sorensen Outlook Good For '75 Utah Students Pay More Utah taxpayers generated only 38 percent of the revenue needed to finance Utah's system of higher education during 1973 - 74, according to the Fifth Annual Report released today by the State Board of Regents. The report says Utah taxpayers contributed 65. 6 million through the state's General Fund, while $107.8 million came through student fees. Federal vocational funds, Federal grants and contracts and other operating revenues available. G. Homer Durham, commissioner of higher education, said the statewide picture was not true of every institution. The amount the state contributed to each of the institutions varied, because of differing services performed by each institution. The students carry an important part of the burden, according to the Commissioner. Student fees accounted for $16.6 million or 9 percent of the total revenues for the year. "In many cases, Utah students pay more of their educational costs than do their counterparts in surrounding states," Durham said. He explained that many of the states provide community college or technical college education tuition free. "Utah students traditionally have sacrificed to carry a significant portion of the financial burden. Their enthusiasm and willingness to sacrifice has been one of the strengths of the Utah System," Durham said. 1975 has started out to be a banner year for Utah Technical College. During the first two weeks of the year, we opened bids for new buildings and site-work on the Orem campus. All of these bids were far below the engineers estimated cost, and because of this we will be able to proceed immediately with the construction of three new buildings and the realignment of the west union irrigation canal. The first buildings to be located on the campus will be the automotive building, the business building, and the mechanical-electrical building which will house our heating plant and be the nerve center of all the utilities on campus. We will also be able to include considerable amount of landscaping and parking areas so that by the fall of 1976 we will be able to accommodate at least 1200 students on the Orem campus. Planning is underway on the new student center and this building will be bidded in June of 1975 so that work can be going forward on this unit the same time the other buildings are being built. The House of Representatives of the Utah Legislature passed the authorization for us to fill revenue bonds to construct this building. It i s hoped that the Senate will also concur in this action. We feel very fortunate to have a quality studentbody on campus who are enthusiastic and vitally interested in preparing themselves for the world of work and by their actions in and out or class are a real credit to this coUege. We hope that you will be watching with us the progress and development of the new buildings on the Orem campus throughout this coming year. President Sorensen
