Mr. Sorensen stated that the new campus was still in the planning stage, but the master plan has been narrowed down from 15 or 20 to 3. It is felt by the Executive Steering Committee that the new Utah Technical College campus should be different in design. Most of the proposed plans were basically the same. The committee wants to have the college as a focal point of interest and learning in Utah County. The college must be functional, yet with proper planning, it can be one of beauty, very attractive and neat. This is necessary to make the students feel warmly welcomed as they enter the college. Dig Impart In a meeting with Mr. Bruce Jensen, Coordinator of Master Planning of Utah's State Building Board on January 22, plans were discussed as to the preliminary work involved in wheelchairs to get into the trailers. This problem has discouraged the Veterans in wheelchairs and with other handicaps and has caused some to drop out They are concerned with establishing contacts not only in the school, but also in the community. The Veterans' office has enrolled 140 Veterans in the school. It has been concluded that the increasing enrollments are due to the services available and the many fine educational opportunities available. COLLEGE PROVO President Sorensen said that the basic and most economical approach would be to move the entire college at one time. In order to do so however, we need the eight million dollars the State Legislature is debating about. If the college is allocated the needed money the school as a whole could be moved together. This definitely has many advantages, one of which is that the money would be a one time expenditure. Also, with the cost of construction going up it would seem wise to get the new campus built as soon as possible. Interest rates are skyrocketing, so it is certainly feasible to build now when the costs are lower. When asked about the sale of the present campus, Mr. Sorensen said that offers have been made to buy it so that issue is not a problem. The money from the sale would be used to help finance the facilities at the new campus. On Orem the building of the new UTC campus in Orem. Mr. Jensen said that the first thing to be done toward the building of the new campus was the accumulation of all facts so that the program could be smoothly initiated. There have been many stepping stones since the first step was taken. All material is transferred into a physical plan. Many facts are taken into consideration and a lot of experimentation is being done.. .Mr. Jensen stated "It's just like a jig-saw puzzle, every piece must fit into it's proper place." There is input from the Executive Steering Committee, the advisory Council Faculty, Studentbody, and the Community leaders. All of this "information is received and analyzed. Only the suggestions that seem feasible to the planning of the new campus are retained. The various committees want the wishes of all concerned people made known, so that all approaches to the planning of the new campus can be taken into consideration.The impact on the com-(continued topage3) At the conclusion of the interview, President Sorensen was asked when the ground breaking of the new campus would take place. He replied "The ground breaking for the new campus will be held in 1974. With what money we now have, we can plan on this." He went on to say "I feel confident the state will see the needs of the college and allocate the Planning Advisory Council Explained The members of the Orem Campus Planning Advisory Council were appointed by the President and serve under the direction of the Steering Committee.
