Show Mistaken "Patriotism" is Labelled Merely Brutal; World Requires Tolerance Supreme over all things toward the re- ? body head, think how tortunrte the per Campus Life By Jack Mc Bride establishing of world peace is complete self-control over race prejudice. I is not uncommon t-t ner. a- uiiis z.mci"an college to hear radical criticism against non-whites. We have had the sad onpov tunity of hearing an American girl of Jap anese ancestry tell through bitter tears of vulgar words flung at her by a so-called true American. Wo appeal here for cultivation of the lovc-your-neighbor policy, whether he be of Japanese descent, Negro or oi any other race. Do not misunderstand. We are fully behind whatever punishment our leaders see fit for the dictatorial madmen that were the cause of World War II. Also there is the realization that some people have more than ample reason for holding grudges against our enemy races, but only by letting by-gones be by-gones may future wars be prevented. Granted, however, that retribution must be just and firm. It will not be easy for American people to look different races in the face and place them on the same level as they place themselves. But if we, being Americans and college students, plan to lesser-future controversies, we m u s t, even through desperate battles with our own conscience, rid ourselves of hate for peoples of enemy races. This is a private war within each of us.

Ads Bring In M oney Leadership Is Work Few people realize the work involved in being a student body officer. It is not an easy job to run a college and carry on with studies too. This statement will be quickly backed up by our own student heads who have spent many an hour and much effort in making this year the success it has been. Symbol of the long hours spent, after school planning activities for us is Keith Midgley 's Ford which can be seen parked out front of the gym building from early morning until late at night, showing that a school official has to put. in a full shift to fulfill his position correctly. Most everyone that attends college, at sometime or other wishes that he or she i could be a student leader, thinking that being such automatically puts you in the spot light, and somewhat releases you from the drudgery of studies. This is not true. As one of our officers said about those who back this idea, "If they could only live and learn as I have." Mirny students when they see a student ! Advertising, especially in a school paper, serves at least two functions. It brings additional money into the treasury, allowing your staff to have more pictures, thus beautifying the paper and making it more enjoyable to read. This is the second feature of ads. Many of the firms run cuts of their merchandise, and even those with straight type give the paper a personality of its own. A third feature might be added, which will give you a chance to find the merchandise that you wish without too much searching. The writer, contacting the merchants and securing ads, find it difficult at times to secure enough to make the paper pay its share of publication costs. As most of you know the student body officers allot so much money each year to help defray a portion of the necessary expendi ture. The rest must come from the ads that are run in the paper. One of the best ways to let the merchants know that they are getting value received from their ads is to mention that YOU saw the ad in the Signpost. Merchandise is short, but these firms that are supporting us deserve all of our patronage; not only now but also in the years after we leave Weber. Let's all cooperate and help us to get more and bigger ads in our publication this year. i I u H,, Oc (., y 3y i 2c c- , Hazard In Winter Traffic Traffic problems throughout the entire United States are definitely a hazard. Through some research and the keeping of certain graphs and charts by government departments, it is shown that the most fatalities through automobile accidents affect people between the ages of 17 and 35. The extreme toll of fatalities between these ages may be credited to the reckless driving of students and young persons who are not in a condition to drive. Winter is here and slick roads and highways will soon be dangerous. To prevent accidents and to save lives, these rules may be followed: Remain calm, cool, careful, and watch your driving!

Said he. "I'd like a good book." Miss Perry accustomed to such demands, smiled the cute way she always do;s and answered. "Just what kindof book do you want?" He looked thoughtful then studiously replied. "Oh, you know, fiction maybe, or something fun to read." Miss Perry (Ruth to all her friends, which includes everyone in school), shooed him out into the hall 1o look at the book covers posted outside the door. In a minute he came back in and asked for a mystery thriller "Gawdy Night." by Dorothy Sayers. one of the best For Your Popular, Classical And Semi-Classical Records Standard EleetMc Co. 2243 Washington Blvd. Also All Phonographic Accessories mystery writers of our day. "Next time." Ruth said, to find a book, first look on the hall poster and if you see nothing there of interest, come in and review the books in the book rack on my desk. A wide variety of books is listed on the board each month. Here ate a few of the fiction books. "Peter Domanig, Morning in Vienna." by Peter White. It is a story of an adolescent boy in Vienna. He labors against overwhelming obstacles, and finally overcomes them. There is a tri- , umphant melody of his achieve- ments. j Those who like the author Augusta Tucker, and have read her book, "Miss Susie Slagles," will be delighted with its sequal. "The Man Miss Susie Loved." : This is a vived heart warming story. These are all excellent books and you will have no trouble finding the kind of book you'd like to read. Dear Editor, I am one of the many students who are wondering why there is no enthusiasm among students to attend assemblies. Recently we held a nomination assembly for members to the board of control and I feel safe ir. saying that not over half the students attended this, one of the most important assemblies of the year. Why do the students dread coming to assemblies? One teacher explained it this way. As he came up the stairs to the assembly he saw a group of students leaving with the comment: "Oh, let's not go. It doesn't look interesting.' If this is the case, and it is a logical contention why don't we do something about it? Let's give the students something different in assemblies. Don't you think that if an interest is created and better attendance obtained that the whole school would benefit? Unhappy Me, D E J Dear D E J, Maybe the "Hidden Talent" assembly is the answer. Editor Dear Editor, I am a returning veteran. I have been at Weber since the beginning of the autumn quarter and I haven't heard anything yet of a Veteran club. There will be a lot of veterans come back and a club would help the vets to get ac quainted with each other. What I do you think? A Vet Dear Vet, Why not start organizing one yourself? Editor Dear Editor, How about putting a piece in the Signpost about the filthy habit of smoking? In all the years I've been here, this is the first time that I 'can smell the cigarette smoke, especially in the women's lavatory and the men's lavatory. The Custodian Dear Custodian, Smoking is absolutely prohibited inside the campus buildings. Years ago it was not even allowed on the campus. Today's policy is more liberal so there is no reason why students should smoke in the buildings. Editor Dear Editor, This is a complaint! Is not this a season of fall?

Now with frantic races up and down the corridors to keep my blood circulating, I try to wait patiently for 3 a. m., when heat will come. Is that the college system? If so, I object.
