Show ftmmmmiiakIllillllilllHiitiliiilSSiSi* ,„%>!»•''ASUU President, John Bennion, stirred up the year's first controversy when he proposed the abolishment of class officers. Everyone, including the administration and the alums, got into the debate. Later, much later, the problem was partially solved by abolishing the senators and giving class officers seats in the legislative body. Before the dust from the first controversy had even begun to settle, a new issue came before the student body. Should Utah withdraw from the NSA? After numerous Senate debates and letters to the editor, the University finally remained with the national group. Victor Jory, a fa-miliar face to Ute theater goers, returned once again to the campus to star in "Our Town." Once again the magical smell of greasepaint and the thrill of a curtain call was transmitted to Utes by a great actor in a great role.Frosh elections brought new faces to stu-dent government. The growth possible through active participation was once more evident as the policy-making bodies became fully staffed for the year to follow. The physical face of the campus was ever changing, also, as the Regents outlined a two million dollar building program. Plans included a bookstore, dormatories for both men and women, and the second and final stage of Milton Bennion Hall. The much disputed Memorial Theater and the second stage of the Engineering Hall were already begun. Greek Week of 1960 was also different from past years, as noon lyceums added extra interest and value to the yearly event. Fraternity activities and a gigantic banquet rounded out the events of the week. December saw the University Theater's troupe of thespians returning from the Far East after having been gone for eight weeks presenting the show "Damn Yankees" under the auspices of the USO. The face of the Ute became haggard and haunted as finals ended fall quarter. Following the ordeal, students headed home for a much needed vacation and the Christmas holidays.The freshmen in their green beanies began their college careers by whitewashing the U, and by the time that Greek Week rolled around, with the Lambda Chi Pushcart races, many had settled down to the "Greek" way of life, and all to their college studies. |
