Tradelotncls VOLUME TWO NUMBER FOUR TRADEWINDS December 15, 1972 FdaoDdls Smooth) ft Pot y.T.C Members of the State Legislature were invited to attend a special dinner called by the U.T.C. Advisory Committee and sponsored by Pittsburg Des Moines Steel Company of Provo. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ways of appropriating money for the new U.T.C. campus in Orem. The dinner took place in the faculty lounge' on Wednesday, November 29,,' at 7:00 p.m. The host for the occasion was Mr. Richard Dejong, of Pittsburg Des Moines Steel, who also serves as chairman of the Advisory Committee at U.T.C. Following the dinner, Mr. Dejong called the meeting to order and introduced the distinguished guests and all present. The theme was then established with a slide production by Mr. LaVar Rockwood, of the U.T.C. administration. The presentation pointed out several discomforts which the old campus will be plagued with until new facilities are provided. It came to the attention of the Legislature and Advisory Committee that Utah Technical College at Provo has less assignable space per student than any school in Utah's system of higher education. As opposed to Utah State University, for example, with 190 square feet per student, and Snow College with 109 square feet, U.T.C. has only 30 square feet per student of usable space. The present facilities are planned to accomodate 1200 students and we have well over 2000 enrolled. In order to keep up with the overflow, U.T.C. has had to rent 53,000 square feet of off-campus space, as far as two and three . miles away from the main building.The point was made by President Wilson Sorensen that the need for vocational - technical training is in greater demand each year. The enrollment at U.T.C. has increased by hundreds over the past several years. A recent study proved that of 100 students now enrolled in the ninth grade, only 25 will secure a Bachelors degree. The remaining 75 will need some type of career orientation and training.The material presented made it obvious that a new campus was in dire need, and the point was well taken by all. The general expression at this time was not a matter of need, but where to acquire the money to fill the need. The Legislature was reminded that according to the time element involved, it is 'our' turn' to recieve funds for a building project. The state has only a limited amount of money to devide between all the state supported institutions for improvement. The Governor told U.T.C. to wait six years and it would be time for this school to take advantage of these funds. U.T.C. at Provo has been pa- tient in this matter, but President Sorensen stated that our time is up and now is the time to move ahead. Before student enrollment gets larger and young citizens employment rates increase. It was also made aware to those Legislators there that building costs are rising by 12 each month. The members of the Legislature were happy to assure the Advisory Committee and School Administration that the new Orem campus of U.T.C. has number one priority with the Governor and he gives his full support. The Legislature also obliged their full co-operation and support in this matter. Three sources of funds were Coowrttesy D November 28. Gov- U Tuesday, November 28, Gov ernor Rampton presented Kathleen Savage an award proclaiming her the Utah Employee of the Month. An application was sent to U.T.C. to nominate a person or persons deserving this award. President Sorensen finalized the nomination form, which named Kathleen for the honor. A committee appointed by the Utah State Public Employment Association made the final decision.A surprise visit to the Cap-, itol Building was Kathleen's 1st. realization of what was at hand.' I was very surprised and honored to be chosen," was Kathleen's reaction to this honor. Along with a certificate of recognition, a $25 bond was given to her.

Second, the state expects to receive several million dollars from Kennecott Copper Corporation on a law suit concerning taxes. The third source may come from FederalRevenue sharing.
