We do not advocate a College Building for our benefit alone, Ogden would receive as much, if not more, benefit from the new building than would the students. Ogdcn's lack of appreciation for the finer things has been thoroughly discussed, and we have all been made aware of this deficiency. But merely being aware of this fact does not bring these finer things to us. A college building with College men and women every where, would tend to change our educational tone and develop appreciation.Then too, with a new college building Ogden would receive financial development. Secretary Jesse Richards of the Chamber of Commerce said that to encourage people to come to Ogden it will be necessary to be able to point out to them the commercial, social, political, religious and educational advantages. A new college building would mean added educational facilities. It would be conclusive to new settlers. Do not new citizens mean more money and more prestige for Ogden? From the students point of view a college building in the very near future is an absolute necessity. The building we now occupy is not large enough to accomodate the increasing number of students. We want to build for the future. The college and its equipment must be of a certain standard before the work it accredits will be accepted by the universities. With a new building and new equipment more efficient work would be done at Weber and her credits would increase in value. An enlarged building and modern equipment would add an enlarged curriculum. Weber's present curriculum lacks a number of important subjects because we have not the buildings and equipment necessary for such subjects. A new college building would remedy this condition. To build a greater Ogden and to increase the efficiency and worth of Weber we need a new college building. We are determined to have it, so let's go. LESTER PARK AS WEBER'S CAMPUS Weber has at last obtained the rights and privileges of a full fledged Junior College. Her different courses of study, and varied student activities demand greater building facilities, and a bigger campus. The College measures up to all the required standards of a Junior College except in athletic facilities and to have the necessary requirements for athletics we must have a larger campus. At present, we really have no campus and what little practice the teams do is performed on the Tabernacle Square. Why not a big campus for a bigger College? Directly east of Weber is a beautiful spot for a large campus. It is only a few hundred feet from the school which makes an ideal practicing ground for the teams. The size of the Park is official for a College campus. Therefore, we must strive to get possession of it for our athletic field. The question immediately arises, "How are we to obtain such a campus? The Church owns the tabernacle square, now if they could exchange it to the city for Lester Park, we would be given our large campus. In many ways this arrangement HERALD the Weber College Weber Herald, Ogden, Utah. would benefit both Ogden and Weber College. The Tabernacle park is an ideal spot for a beautiful court house. It is a con-spicious place for a city and county building which would materially aid in beautifying the city. Weber College with a big campus and a full curriculum of athletic activities would attract many more students. The underlying fact of this change would be to develop a more efficient College that would eventually mean a greater Ogden. Therefore, let this be our slogan for 1924, "Lester Park For Weber. College Campus. A GOOD BEGINNING There is nothing so essential in winning a race as hav ing an even start with the rest; starting out with e-nough speed, or it might be: purpose, to create sufficient velocity to carry you through. Race horses for some reason have an especially noticeable aversion to not getting a good start. You have seen them straining at their bridle reins eager to get into the race and you have also seen horses who, when they did not get off immediately on the signal would not go at all. We are just at the begin ning of another quarter, most of us familiar enough with the procedure that we can avoid blunders and mistakes made previously and go with smooth running right from the first. Nor will it be dit ficult to those who have just entered for things are on a firmer basis, precedents are well established and things can now proceed with fewer squeaks and jolts. One of the advantages of the school term being divided into three divisions lies in the psychological effect it has on the students. Winding things up with a feeling of satisfac tion after twelve weeks of strenuously pursuing one sub ject and then beginning' a nother. or continuing the same subject with new en thusiasm has the result of helping the students to make better records. The atmos phere of the institution at the beginning of a new quarter is an impetus to the students The rearranging of things breaks the monotony that may have settled down in the last few weeks of rush; and with a new start there is new purpose, new enthusiasm and what really helps most renew ed interest. TEN THINGS WE HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR That examinations ar over. That all teachers are not as hard on us as some. That Chemistry notebooks are in. That examinations are over. That Zoology notebooks are in. That maybe, just maybe, we will not Hunk in every thing. That Thanksgiving comes but once a year. That English is finished. That examinations are over. THAT CHRISTMAS IS COMING! ! ! ! ! ! AGAIN Mr. Alton Halverson has acquired a new crush, so we are told. This pleases us very much, because we were bc-gining to get very worried about Alt, not having seen him with anyone special for about a week. Mr. Halverson has given out an official statement that according to his secretary's closest report, this is 129,078th this year. We wish you luck, Alt but we do wonder why you can't keep-'em longer. Horses and telephone users art the only animals who sleep standing up. SEMINARY NEWS The two following articles are representative of the lessons being developed in the Seminary. PROFANITY Profanity, an outstanding evil among us. is doing more harm than we realize. It is one of the cunning methods used by Satan to influence the lives of boys and g"irls into the downward path of wickedness and sin. Its use is a habit easily acquired and extremely hard to overcome. The effects of this evil are far reaching and alarming. Profanity reduces our spiritual sincerity to such an extent that we lose our regard for Diety. Most of the finer and worthwhile things of life are lost to sight and our social life and standing are injured by it. A well-bred person avoids the company of one addicted to its use so a profaner is denied the company of the best of people and hence is denied social intercourse. Profanity will surely cause a drifting away from the use of good English. When they start substituting base and vulgar words and expressions for the English Language, then the civilization of those people will vanish beyond recognition. Excuses made by users of profane language are absurd and foolish. For instance, we hear some say, "It adds emphasis to my speech," others say "It is a safety valve by which we rid our system of the canker of ang'er or the ugliness of disposition.' The former statement is only voiced by the ignorant and uncultured class. The English Language is amply supplied to furnish the words with which to say anything, any way, at any time. In the latter statement, that escaping steam or energy can be utilized in a much better way. Words most disgustingly used are those of Diet5r. The Lord warns those who do this that the' will not be held guiltless before him. Why shouldn't he be wrathful with those who use his Holy Name in curses? Knowing what an evil habit this is, would you sanction the use of profanity before your small brother or sister? Children are very quick to learn words and phrases used by their elders, and swear words once learned are very hard to forget. The rising generation will learn just what is taught them, whether this be good or bad. Let us then improve our speech and eradicate profanity. We cannot afford to let this evil come into our midst. It means a much safer, better and more progressive Ameri ca, if we erase this evil practice. Keith Wilson. "JUDGE NOT, THAT YE BE NOT JUDGED" All Christians believe the Bible to be the word of God. As Latter Day Saints we believe that we should obey the commandments given, in the Bible. In order to live and obey them, however, we must love them and their Maker; in order to understand we must study. Pronouncing judgment upon someone denotes the exercise of many virtues: justice, equality, truth and fidelity. When Christ said to the people in the sermon on the Mount, "Judge not that ye be not judged," he meant that this command was to be taken into their lives and obeyed. Many of the people, however, did not understand him so he explained further by saying, "First cast the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye." Once while Jesus was in the temple the Scribes and the Pharisees brought him a sinful woman. They told him that according to the law of Moses she should be stoned to death, and asked him what he thought. He answered, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." One by one the men left and when Christ looked up he was alone with the woman. Then he asked, "Woman, where art thine accusers, and has no man condemned thee? She answered, "No man." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn thee, go thy way and sin no more." Are any of us without sin? Then we are not worthy to accuse or make fun of others who make mistakes, Christ says, "Only he that is all spiritual judgeth things." The commandments that Christ made are in force today. When we have studied them and have obtained an understanding of them, then we must obey. The command has been given, "Judge not that ye be not judged." We understand it, therefore we are required to live it. Maurine Hinckley D. C. H. S. The Davis High gridders lost their last game of the season to the Westminster "Parsons" by a 26 to 6 score. The Davis lads went through the season with 2 victories and 5 defeats. They won the annual game with their traditional rivals, the Ogden "Tigers." ATHLETIC BANQUET Friday an Athletic banquet was served in honor of the football players. It was followed by a dance at which the boys were guests of the student body. G. H. BRIMHALL SPEAKS President Emeritus G. H. Brimhall of the Brigham Young University was the speaker at the Chapel exercises, Wednesday Nov. 21. BASKETBALL STARTED The class Basketball series is in full swing. Each class is represented by three teams. In an elimination tournament all the teams will be eliminated except one from each class. These remaining teams with the faculty will compose another tournament and will play for the school championship.FIRST TERM ENDED The first term of school ended at Davis High Friday, Nov. 16. The grades were delivered to the students Tuesday. This year the Bell system of marking is being used. NEBRASKA WOMEN CAMPAIGN AGAINST ILLITERACY Under the leadership of Mrs. Cora Wilson, Nebraska Women have started a campaign against illiteracy. The slogan being "No illiteracy after 1930." One of the arguments used to further their cuse is that out of the first one and one-half million registrants in the draft for the U. S. army during the World War about 375,000 or one fourth could not read a newspaper or write a letter. In France there were only three illiterate in one hundred, in England there was one in one hundred and in Germany one in five thousand.In 1922 there were four million illiterate voters in the United States. Such a condition needs to be remedied. Similar movements to the one in Nebraska should be started in other states, and a nation wide campaign should be organized and directed a-gainst this dreaded foe, illiteracy."Piano Madsen "Says-Business is Great There are 6 Reasons why we Save You Money Come in and see our fine Pianos and Players it's a Its the most valuable'Piano in tJie World Lyric Music Co. 2524 Washington Ave. With Jones Phonograph Store Tailoring, Cleaning and Pressing 15 DISCOUNT To all students having work done up to Feb. 1 JOYCE WILLIAMS 2477 Lin, Ave. Marion Hotel BIdg. Musical Notes Invitations have been extended to the Ladies' Glee Club by the Third and the Fourth Wards of Brigham City, to give programs in their respective wards some Sunday evening. It is expected that in the near future members of the music department will make the trip and furnish them with appropriate programs. A few days ago, during devotional exercises, the students were favored with a violin trio, Lolabell Garner, Katherine Cannon, and Josephine Mansel, Louise Fisher accompanist. The School of Music gave a concert at West Point, on Wednesday, November 28. They were received very kindly. Those appearing on the program were: Professor Oborne, George Manning, Araminta West, Lillian Eastman, James Lindsay, and Irna Cram. A BETTER BAND Within the last few days a double bass viol, kettle drums, and a number of other band instruments have been repaired. It is anticipated that the band will be materially increased for the Winter Quarter. OPERA INTERESTS The Girl's and Boy's Glee Clubs are working daily on the opera "Carmen." The chorus work for the first act is almost completed and the cast will be prepared m about a week to work on the staging of the opera. There will possibly be several students working in each part. iJroiessor Manning anticipates taking the cast to several nearby communities, there by giving more than one student an opportunity to play the principal parts. "Tentative Tannhauser' will be ready for the students to work on just as soon as "Carmen" is mastered. The Music Department is preparing" to have these two operas ready, and also the "Bohemian Girl," so that they can be presented during opera week, the first part of March. SOAP SUDS The problem of the modern mother is to have dinner on time for a cook who wants it at five, a son who wants it at six, a daughter who wants it at seven, a husband who wants it at eight, and herself that doesn't want it at all. Mr. Manning: (to wife) "Of course, dear, it's only a rough idea of mine, but do you think it is possible that there is such a thing as a printer's error in that cookery manual of yours?" "Then this," said Tom, "Is absolutely final?" "Absolutely," was the calm reply, "shall I return your letters?" "Yes, please," answered the blighted one, "There's some good material in them that I can use again." Adrian G. "Leroy, learned to play the piano in no time." Clyde F. "Yeah, I heard him playing it that way the other day." Our reporter (a lady of course) says that men are like the moon; Shine best at night and are down to their last quarter a good part of the time." The maid, "I've often wondered, mum, why you don't get rid of that piano and 'ave a wireless put in just think what a lot of dustin' it'd save." "What makes you so happy this Thanksgiving, Mister Turke3'?" "That's easy, I just collected my life insurance on my eight children." Irma V. "We have 74 keys up to our house and none of them will fit a lock." Lenore C. "If they are no good why don't you throw them away?" Irma V. "Oh we couldn't play the piano without them!" Rumjor has it that Yern will soon be able to take Tom's place as the champion "Lady-Killer" of this institution. I O. H. S. HIGH'S LIBRARY Starting- from a very small and insignificant collection of books made about three years ago, the High School Library has grown to be one of the largest and best equipped high school libraries in our state. Its growth has been due to successful book drives, donations and purchases, and has finally resulted in a collection of three thousand five hundred volumes of literature most helpful to both students and faculty. The library boasts of excellent and complete magazine files dating back three years. Twenty five weekly and monthly mag'azines are received making helpful reference works for collateral reading. Among those who g'racious-ly donated books during this year is Mr. Carl Allison, who gave his entire library valued at four hundred dollars. This collection contained books on all subjects including some excellent ones on science. Mr. Sherman gave to us an entire set of valuable reference books which add much to our literary wealth. Supt. Hopkins contributed a dozen volumes on gymnastics and sports. These are of great value to those interested in athletics, especially outdoor games. We owe much to Miss Smith, our Librarian, who toils long in such poor and dingy quarters and whose only enlightment comes from Mr. Stewart's beautiful art exhibitions. It is because of her labor and splendid spirit that we have acquired such a complete and valuable li brary. She deserves much credit and praise for without her hearty co-operation and splendid work we would not possess the wealth of litera ture that we are so proud of. PASSING SHOW The Music Department of the School has promising plans for winter entertainment. Among numerous matinee dances and assembly programs, they will present the main feature of the season, an excellent vaudeville show entitled "The Passing Show of 1923". Because of what the department has already done we are expecting a very fine entertainment when this is presented. GAMMA KAPPA The Gamma Kappa Club was recently entertained by Miss Olive Reynolds in a get acquainted party. Through the cleverness of our fair hostess bashfulness was overcome and a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. After thte serving of delightful refreshments the party was concluded with a few selections from the Famous High School Quartet. HOORAY FOR THE IRISH Weber has at last acquired almost as many fellows as girls! This startling fact has come to light since the registration for the fall quarter has been nearing completion. For some time many of the students, (girls, of course) have been worrying for fear that Weber would "deteriorate" into a Girls' Seminary. However, we now feel sure that we are saved from this dreadful and haunting possibility.Judging from the number of fellows who are supposedly "unattached" and taking into consideration the fact that 1924 ushers in "Ladies' Year," we predict a gay time for the colleg'e. Revising a popular song, we would sav, TO THE FELLOWS (may your tribe increase:) "Though seven days of heaven aren't enough we don't get sore. For next year will be Leap Year, then we'll love you one day more." THE GIRLS. Inspector of schools: "Are there any abnormal children in your classes?" Prof. Winsor, (sadly) "Yes, two of them have good manners." Statisticians say that the married men live longer than single ones. Perhaps it only seems longer. THOS. YOUNG SIGN CO.
