ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
The rugged skyscrapers of the
Wasatch mountain range nudge the
eastern edge of the University of Utah's
1168-acre campus. No gently rolling
hills or grassy knolls here. This is
canyon country with a four-season climate
and ready access to the outdoors.
Six world-famous resorts within 45
minutes of the campus become Winter
and Spring quarter classrooms for the
largest college ski program in the nation.
Salt Lake City, a progressive urban
and industrial center (population
565,759) at the crossroads of the West,
is five minutes away. Campus and community
are complementary. Students
relate to the social, political and cultural
life of a growing metropolitan
area, and citizens share in the varied
activities of the "city within a city."
The University of Utah perpetuates
the state's tradition of excellence in
education — in innovative rather than
conventional ways. Although it is the
oldest state university west of the Missouri
River, it is invigorated, not encumbered,
by this heritage. It is free
to experiment — to implement new
ideas in structure, curriculum and policies.
The University functions as a
participatory democracy. Decisions
which affect its course are cooperatively
made by faculty, student and
administration representatives. This
31
open communication, tempered by
sound dedication to rationality, makes
the University of Utah a good place to
grow.
University, of Utah life is a diverse
as the 24,000 individuals who live it.
Students from Utah's 29 counties, all
50 states and 71 different countries
make their own happenings in an atmosphere
of responsible freedom.
Within a world as personal as their
circle of friends and chosen outlets
of self-expression, students contribute
individually in student government,
sports, theatre, music, dance, art, political
and social groups and religious
programs. The Utah student body enjoys
traditional events like Contemporary
issues, weekend stomps, football
cheering sections and Sunday concerts
— jazz and otherwise, and is intrigued
by the here-and-now-world of Ralph
Nader, Bernadette Devlin, Maxwell
Taylor, Coretta King, Burt Bacharach,
Dionne Warwicke and scores more
newsmakers. In a climate of dynamic
independence, strongly supported by
staff and faculty interest, University of
Utah students work in individual ways
toward the goals of self-reliance, economic
self-sufficiency and the critical
judgment crucial to the decision-making
life ahead of them.
