Show In the fall the changing face of Utah was due to a multitude of events. The campus was changed physically with the erection of new buildings. New faces were visible in Uteville, while some of the old ones were noticeably miss-ing. Further changes were wrought in student government through various investigations by the student Senate and the ASUU Exec Council. The faculty was an ever-changing body as many of its members accepted promotions.The first change was brought about by the influx of freshmen to the campus to begin their first year as Utes. The frosh brought with them a youthfulness and vitality that erased many of the age lines in the University's rugged countenance. Even the Utah royalty had a new look as Barbara Daines was crowned Freshman Queen. The University Theater began its varied season with its presentation of the Broadway hit "Redhead." The face of the campus visitor changed, also. Al Capp began the visit of famous lecturers, followed by Walter Reuther, Drew Pearson, and Wallace Stenger. In football the Utes drew third place in the Skyline Conference race. The student Senate, always bringing about alterations in the campus way of life, began its year by setting up a research program in two areas: student attitudes toward the University and the machinery of student government. Student-Faculty Sounding Boards made a successful debut to assist the governing bodies in improving upon the weak areas. Homecoming brought former collegiates back to the University to mark the changes that had taken place since they walked the campus greens. A pseudo-political facade was assumed for the event with the slogan, "No Dick, No Jack, Hoyo Wantum Country Back." House decorations, skits and quartets, the Homecoming Dance with the Mills Brothers, and the big game also contributed to the homecoming look. Lucretia Wray, a recent addition to the campus population, reigned over the activity as Homecoming Queen.Fall quarter brought the crispness of Autumn to the Utah campus, which meant football season to the Utes. The team, playing the toughest season in the Redskins' history ended the year with a seven win - three loss record to take third place in the Skyline Conference, behind Utah State and Wyoming. Meanwhile the Sig Pi's were among the many Greek groups which were busily engaged in the building of house decorations for the politically toned Homecoming festivities. To the theme, "No Dick, No Jack, Hoyo Wantum Country Back," the groups spent days designing and building suitable decorations for the alum fete. |
