It has had a basketball team for several seasons, playing in the Wasatch League which includes junior college and college freshman teams in eastern and southern Utah, along with both the Provo and Salt Lake Utah Technical Colleges. President Wilson Sorensen said the decision to get into athletics at Utah Tech was made when the studentbody grew to the point that students started requesting a competitive athletic program and it was felt one would help develop school spirit and unity. The program will include volume history of the Mormons. Tiie right-of-ways of both along the campus wili be cleaned too, with "the extra mile" theme taken from these plans.

In the afternoon students will relax at a double-header baseball game between Utah Tech and Dixie College in Provo's Umpanogos ballpark. The game begins at 1 jn. The clean-up job will start at 8 with hundreds of students determined to leave the Orem campus area free of any weeds or debris. The 171-acre future campus was purchased years ago by the state when it became evident that Utah Tech, boxed in as it is on its present 13 acres in Provo, could never expand as it will have to if it meets the growing vocational-technical education needs of Central and Southern Utah.

Permission to officially begin with the planning of the new campus although actual construction is still in the future was recently given by the Utah State Boaid of Higher Education. The 171-acre plot is located east of 1-15 and north of the Orem 12th South freeway en-trance, adjacent to both roads. May 13 Date of Lecture professor of geography at BYU, Brigham Young University.

As bankers, we understand money. We think that BankAmericard is the most convenient form of money that anyone has come up with yet. We think of BankAmericard as money.

And we want you to think of it in the same way. Since most people handle money wisely, they can handle a BankAmericard credit card wisely, too. Because BankAmericard is money that's a lot easier for you to control. BankAmericard helps you keep track of your spending, by giving you an immediate receipt with every purchase. And your monthly statement is a double check of where your money went.

BankAmericard also gives you the option of when to spend your money. You can either pay your monthly bill in full, or if you decide, you can pay lowest possible cost.
