We must also, tend to find the truth for ourselves and not to rely on people's "Propaganda beliefs," because propaganda is like fried chicken, all cooked up and ready to digest. The person who digests it quickly is the uneducated person. He tends to look on one side of the story and not to argue pro and con against a subject. Take a subject which you believe a problem, boil it down to many questions, then tear it down as if you dislike it and find the bad in it, otherwise you're against it entirely. After you have voted con on the questions, change your attitude and vote pro, or find all you can about the right side of the subject. After this is done, weigh it in your mind, then judge for yourself whether you think the question is right or wrong. There is no "right" or "wrong" until the person makes it that way. Do You Need Any Help? Don't be like that song "Do You Need Any Help, No Help Wanted." ' Each of us has problems and we are all looking for the answers to them. Sometimes it is easy to figure them out for ourselves. But, sometimes we run into difficulty and wonder where we should go for help. For Weber College students, the place for help can easily be found. The Guidance Center is open for your convenience. Here you may be able to decide your vocation trend by taking tests offered by the Center. Other problems, too, may be straightened out at the Guidance Center. Remember, take advantake of that which is offered, and perhaps some of your problems and troubles will be eliminated. Student Gripes and Praises Dear Editor: Last week I was one of the many students at Weber College who were mighty thirsty. Not only was the fountain in the Moench building out of order, but also the one on the main floor of the Central building. These two fountains are the ones most convenient and the ones most frequently used. The fountain in the Moench building was, finally restored to working order but in a couple of days it again refused to give up with that clear bubbling stuff water. The fountain in the Central building is still out of order. While I understand that Weber College is soon to be in new buildings which are equipped with water fountains of lesser antiquity and which will work, I can see no reason why the water fountains on the campus we are now using cannot be kept in, good working order. Sincerely, Claire Billings. Dear Ed: Twelve o'clock comes and everyone is hungry. So what! The only solution is to get something to eat. So you make a dash for the cafeteria and find a line a mile long. You're hungry, so you step into line and wait. And I do mean wait! It seems to me that a much quicker means of getting the food served could be made. Sometimes it is possible for a student to wait as long as half an hour in order to be served. I am sure there are many students who would appreciate a faster and more efficient cafeteria line.

Although the members of these groups may not be aware that they are blocking someone's way, they are actually causing confusion and delay to those who are pressed for time in moving from class to class. I think that all of us have been guilty of this misdemeanor at one time or another, and can therefore do something about it. What do you say, students? Let's all cooperate and move to one side when talking to our friends. I am sure that the effort will be appreciated by all. Larry Wilcock. To the Editor: In the past few weeks, I have noticed that increasing numbers of students are congregating in the halls, on the stairs, and on the walks between buildings. There is nothing wrong with this practice itself, in fact, it is probably a necessary function of college social life. However, we cannot overlook the fact that many of these stu- Dear Editor: The talent assemblies have been wonderful. I think the fine type of entertainment we have had is a good example of the Weber College way of doing things. These assemblies offer a wonderful way for students to present their talent. It could so easily happen that a good percentage of these students could go through college lost in the tide, never having an opportunity to appear on an assembly. These assemblies have also given a bright outlook for future assemblies. Knowing the great variety of talent there is to be chosen from, no one can fear that future assemblies will become monotonous with the same people appearing week after week. I hope everyone with talent is given a chance to entertain us. To Dr. Olson, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Allred, Mr. Knight and all of the rest of the assembly committee, we who have been in the audience say thanks. That is the way we like things done. Sincerely, Lyn Hadlock. Remember "WATCH THE BIRDIE" Let's Get Acquainted New Faces On The Campus (Want to know more about people you meet in the halls?)

To all club or organization reporters who haven't handed in articles for the Signpost, here is a little reminder. Give them to any staff member, Larry Evans, or co Signpost, Box 76, the following Thursday after each previous issue. Nothing will be printed about your organization unless you submit it. Please co-operate. Go! Go! Go! The beat of a drum and the blare of a horn and they're off! Boy grabs girl, shakes her up and down, flips her under over around, stamps his feet and gets ready for the catch. Girl does a few fancy contortions with her feet, twirls around and flies into the boy's arms. Sounds pretty passionate, in a violent sort of way, doesn't it? In case you have the wrong impression, it's not a movie love scene, a race, or a Mexican hat dance, but the latest dance craze at Weber the jitterbug. The boy's role in a jitterbug team is a cross between a chiropractor and a ball player, with a little bit of a soda jerk's technique when making a shake thrown in. In order for a girl to survive, she must be an acrobat, a top, and not be too concerned about what's showing, especially if she has a full skirt on. Maybe you think this is rough treatment on the jitterbug subject well, t is. You ' have to be a pretty good dancer and have a sense of rhythm to do it. And what's more, once you, get on to the routine, it's fun!
