The center is not scheduled to be comp leted until Mar ch. The mild winter hurri ed the work so that it will be available for the first game according to Broadbent. The first shipment of seats in shades of orange is due October 19 and bids are being taken for the carpeting in the concourse.
Assembly center will be used for concerts as well as basketball. It has lighting and sound systems for television broadcasting.
Pools later
Unfortunately , the swimmi ng pools are not a part of the P.E. building yet. They will be a dded on to the north side of the building. Bids for the pools were taken over the summer a nd rejected. The difficulty of a second contractor workine: on the addition while the first cont ractor finishes the building made the bids unacceptable . Broadbent said the swimmi ng pools could be ready by next year if all goes smoot hly over the summer.

Academic issues
College councils to decide Ever have an urge to do away with centralized student government, or to do away with certain classes? . . Or to get a different professor for a certain class? Have you ever had an urge to do something about every class you want being taught at the same time? Now is the time for action. Proceed to the third floor of the UC Activity center , walk to a little wooden stand marked applications and fill one out for your college 's council.
Student-faculty decide These new college councils will be made up of students and faculty and will meet regularl y with the Dean regarding problems in each college. The senator from each college will direct the council 's efforts. The candidate filing deadling is Oct. 19, and the election is being held Oct. 23. Students never really before a part of the decision making process may now work toward that goal through the college councils.
Bruce Burtensha w, Academic vice-president , who is in charge of the new college council system stated that " never bef ore have students bee n given the opportunity to influence their educati on so directly. A student on his college council can intiate many reforms th at were never before possible ."
Push for students H aving student members voting in all department decisions is one aim of the college councils. The ph ysics depa,rtment now h as two students voting equally with facu l ty member s in departmental decisions. As the commissioner for the Utah Board of Higher Education G. H omer Durham puts it, "I see student government bein g abolished in favor of student leadership in academic departments." He states th at the real action is at the depart mental Ievel---the place where the facul ty member s are hired and the curriculum decided.
