Dry - Jest By MARY PETERSON and EVEREL HARRIS This week's column is fondly dedicated to the freshmen, whose immature intellects have not previously been exposed to the mystifying elements of higher education. At random we have chosen a few terms which you will hear used a great deal. We will define them ao eording to our conception after spending a fool year at Weber. Botany Science of buying. Business Where you go to get honey. Chem. Past tense for come. Lab. Something that baas. Freshmen Simplest form of animal life. Sophomore The freshman plus. Squash The female Indian. Hygiene A greeting. Accounting A dollar down Pay the rest if they can catch you. Elementary Swimming Two showers and drinking half the pool. Intermediate Swimming One drink calls for another. Life Saving A subtle way to seitle old scores.

For a time now Weber has striven to further its musical accomplishments with the band and orchestra under the capable leadership of Mr. Clair Johnson. The band has been particularly handicapped by having to appear without uniforms. Now the uniforms are on their way, they will make for a bigger and better band. t Weber will be proud to have its band at the games in its new black serge uniforms with white belts, and ornamented with silver and purple braid on the sleeves, silver buttons and buckle, and a white and purple monogram. The officer hats will give additional style. The band made splendid progress last year and now with the new instruments which have recently been purchased and the additional registration which doubles that of last year, we feel that the band will be able to accomplish even finer things. Mr. Johnson has already received requests for the band. Among them was an invitation to appear at the Utah State Agricultural college home-coming and the Utah State Fair. Lyceum Program Announced Lyceum numbers for the coming vear have been secured bv Guv H. Flurst. Oct. 4 John Clair Montieth, illustrated lecture. Oct. IS Geoffrev O'Hara, com poser-pianist. Nov. 1 Welsh Imperial Singers. Jan. 23 Dr. Ethan Colton, lecturer.Feb. 1 Luther King, tenor. March 6 Percy Grainger,pianist-composer. March 12 Deep River Plantation Quartcet. There are also other numbers awaiting confirmation, last year's, says Mr. Hurst. The money that was used to secure tickets to the Ogden community concerts last year had this season been used in securing new lyceum features.Students and the public are invited to the programs, which are free. Faculty Turns Dude Comes news that Coach Bob Davis, the perfect host for Weber College, has one of the best dude ranches for sheer beauty, excellent fishing, and college professors that vou could want to see. Friday, George Hvde, Wally Eaddley, Ler-ron Losee. Thatcher Allred, and Reed Swcnson all went to this primitive spot at Chain lakes in the high Uintahs. The cabins nestle at the base of Mount Kmmonds, which towers 13.45(1 feet. The dudes pack in (or up) fourteen miles by horses also provided by the coach levels. And there really were fish, too! The limit was pulled from the icy water every day in spite of the rain. "Swensou was the luckiest fisherman, but it was only because he used the most bait," says Mr. Allred. "Allred was just lacking in fishing skill,'' retorts Mr. Swcnson. "Coach Losee and I were the chief hotcake concoctioneers." says Mr. Allred. "They were more like scrambled sinkers," sums up Mr. Swcnson. It is said also that Mr. Allred and Mr. Hyde had one fine time paddling around on the raft. Mr. Hyde asserts that the gruel-(Continucd on Page 2) OvV 1 1 I-, .a (faiduuaai-xamiiiL'i' biaii Photo) President H. A. Dixon, left, president, right, head Weber biggest year, President Notes Increase Has Quality By PRESIDENT H. A. DIXON I am pleased beyond description to welcome to Weber College the best and the largest group of regular students in the history of the institution. Our present registration shows an increase of 40 per cent within the last three years. The cpjality of our student body is outstanding as evidenced by the results of entrance examinations and r-Jr by the transcripts of credits received 11S111 lllC lllgll 3inJi3 ill linj aia. I am satisfied that few, if any, colleges in the West are admitting students of. such uniformly high scholastic achievements. Behind this remarkable growth, which I think is unparalleled in the state this year, are many factors not conspicuously apparent. Among these contributing factors are: 1. The outstanding loyalty of our student body with its determination to build for Weber a place in the "sun." 2. The loyalty and sacrifice on the part of the parents. 3. The aggressive support from community organizations and clubs, and particularly the support from the superintendents and high school faculties of this area. 4. The achievements of our graduates who have gone on to universities, and the reputation which they are winning for Weber College.5. The enlarged offerings of the college, such as the clothing laboratories, art, office machines, technical and trade courses. Student activities arc a definite part of the offerings of the institution. They foster personality development train leadership and promote an enlightenedself-government which contributes directly to the success of the democratic way of life and the strength and permanency of our country. Now, as never before, we need leaders of vision and integrity, unselfish men and women who stand for principle and the happiness of humanity. On behalf of the faculty, I pledge our full support to the student body organization and to its activities. During this year by planning together, working together, playing together as one happy family, we will experience Joy in living and pride in doing. Instructors Employed Others Attend School With the opening of the fall quar ter. manv new teachers were em- ployed by Weber College.

This fall the situation is gratifying. From an enrollment of 619 in the autumn quarter last year our registration has jumped to 735, with the possibility of more students through further late registration. This increase of itself yould not be a significant reason to label 1938-39 a successful year. It isn't quantity that makes a school but quality. The increase in enrollment of itself would not be sufficient reason to label the year 1938-39 a success. But these students have wdrat it takes to do big-things. Already many have shown their merits in assemblies, social activities, and in classes. I am anxious to see more of this, students. I invite you to enter school affairs and to resoluve to be a real Weber-ite, who boosts for .his school, enjoys its games, dances, and fraternal advantages. Ekins Heads Broadcast Radio work will play a great- er part in the outside curric- ulum of Weber college than it did last season. Once each week through the facilities of radio station KLO will be broadcast a program prepared and presented entirely by students of Ogden's fast growing college. These programs will be broadcast by remote control direct from Weber's auditorium and will feature outstanding students from the various departments. A radio staff, to be in charge of these programs, is now being organized. Any student of Weber who is interested in radio work of any tvpe is asked to communicate with Thatcher Allred or Ross' Fkins, student chairman. Five Feminine Favorites Found . Five favorites, tops in fem- 1 inine beauty, have been brought to the limelight by Phoenix, one of the college's ranking fraternal organizations. Final tabulations, given lit by Harold Benson, show that Isabelle Fdwnrd-. Yivian Pollidorce. i Beverly Briem. Phyllis Car-Ion and Irene Coombs are the five finalists in the contest.

This autumn quarter has seen an increase of llo over last autumn quarter. A new high of 735 has been tabulated. Many students have been brought here by the new vocational education. Other factors have aided : the motivating personality of President Dixon, an inspirited faculty and student body. These influences passed the word along, produced the work of the pub'icity committee and the pre registration Signpost. The summer issue of the Signpost was mailed to nearly 1,000 students and this helped with the present increase. The student body officers had charge of its publication.Mr. John Benson, Air. Thatcher Allred, Mr. Reed Swenson, and Mr. C. Ft. Anderson handle the publicity for the college. Mr. Swenson is in cnarge ot all athletic publicity and Mr. Allred has the radio. Mr. Benson and Mr. Anderson collaborate on the news in The Standard-Examiner and other publicity forms. "We feel that TheStandard-Examiner is very instrumental in helping us to advertise Weber College to the public," stated Mr. Benson. ''The strength of our advertising is shown by the fact that we have a few students enrolled from Kansas." ' Business courses have enlarged m the new building. Right now there are approximately 175 business majors. This group has been divided into shorthand, typing, office machines, accounting,' and courses in economics. A newRemington-Rand filing and index system is in use in this department. Trade courses include air conditioning, auto body and fender work, auto service and repair, machine and shop work, and welding. Courses in woodwork and electricity will be offered during the winter" quarter. "By that timp all ran.'nmm,i ,..;ii be in and the building will be able to take its full quota of students," said LeRoy Blaser, vocational director.Mrs. Clarisse Hall, registrar, pointed even more optimistically toward future increases. "An even higher number will be enrolled by the end of the year," she stated. Time Fails By JACOB WEESE Time mellows everything. Daughters of the American Revolution have decided to place the name of Benedict Arnold on a marker at the Saratoga battlefield where be led a wing of the American army in a decisive victory during the antique year of 1777. " When I was fighting tip through the grades, 1 was told that Benedict Arnold was a fellow not to go around with. He was always classified with horse thieves and women beaters. He had betrayed his country to the British. Today, he is regarded differently.He was a man like the rest of us. with many sides from which reflected many lights, not alwavs rose-colored neon.
