Show Vs $600,000 2 YR. BUDGET A $600,000 biennial budget for Weber college was approved tentatively by the joint appropriations committee of the Utah legislature last Saturday. This amount was only $6,406 less than the college requested, and considerably larger than Gov. Herbert B. Maw's budget allotment of $450,000. Of the approved amount, $50,000 is for vocational education. According to a committee spokesman this amount is the general fund appropriation and would be exclusive of all school fee collections. Approval of the general appropriation for Weber college is entirely exclusive of House bills 166 and lo7, and Senate bills 133 and I 34, which provide for expansion of Sec 562 P. L. & R. Weber College Signpost Volume 10 'Sister' Play Scheduled March 6-8 Garfield Cast in He-Man Role of Irresolute Wreck By Charles D. Carver "My Sister Eileen is entirely devoid of Ideas worth quoting." So says director John G. Kelly, and he adds, "but if any student is genuinely interested in an escape from lectures, studies, or reality; if anyone really wants a hilarious outlet for suppressed steam the play is the thing." Additional casting for the comedy to be presented in the Weber college auditorium on March 6, 7, and 8 was announced Friday. Culminating an exhaustive search for the he-man,halr-on-his-chest type, Rulon Garfield, freshman class president, was (paradoxically) selected and assigned the remaining principal lead. He will portray the rather irresolute "Wreck." Additional Members Additional new members of the company include John Murphy, George Stromberg, Brent Marriott, Glenna Jo Cutler, Lewis Nord, and George Bell. Aiding and abetting rehearsals Monday through Friday is assistant director, Marilyn Mills. Heading the property crew, Avice Mathias is assisted by Bernice Anderson and Nancy Beach. Doyle Strong of the Art department is responsible for designing and constructing the various realistic settings, while Max Parker is in charge of lighting effects. Community Theatre The play is the second in the 1946-47 Community Theatre series. It is being presented in lieu of the previously scheduled "Desert Song" and is a cooperative undertaking of the Ogden City Recreation department and WC student body. "Eileen and Ruth Sherwood are sisters who share a joint apartment not only with each other but also with a large proportion of the New York City populace. The confusion which results from this arrangement is cause for considerable merriment," Mr. Kelly said. Technical Difficulties "Among various technical difficulties of production are: teaching stage presence to four dogs (who are yet to be cast), fluent Portuguese to six performers, and a recognizable Conga to a majority of the company," he continued. Admission will be by ticket only. Tickets will be made available at the Treasurer's office on Thursday, February 27, Friday 28, Saturday, March 1. and Monday 3. They may be obtained free of charge upon request and upon presentation of student activity cards. "Students are urged to get their tickets early," Mr. Kelly said. "While half of the entire auditorium seating capacity has been reserved for the student body, a much higher percentage of student attendance is anticipated than in previous years," he concluded. Engineering Club Plans 3-Day Tour Plan for a trip that will take Engineering majors to Grand Coulee dam are being formulated by the Weber college Engineering club, according to club president, Cal Lucy. The three-day trip to the world's largest dam will be taken during the period between the Winter and Spring quarters if arrangements can be made by that time, the club president said. OGDEN, UTAH, FEBRUARY 21, 1947 Lecturer da. ). m. Hardino Dr. A. M. Harding To Appear Mar. 5 "Glimpses of Other Worlds," is the title of the illustrated lecture to be given by Dr. Arthur M. Harding, 8:30 p. m. March 5 at Weber college. The lecture, a "celestial travelogue," deals with popular astronomy pointing out the relation of our world to the other heavenly bodies of the universe. Dr. Harding, educator, mathematician, author, and lecturer of in ternational reputation recently retired as president of the University of Arkansas in order to personally present his "Sky Tours" lectures. In addition to the many textbooks he has written in mathematics, his academic field, Dr. Harding has authorized a non-technical book on astronomy which quickly hit the best selling list in Its classification. He considers astronomy as his hobby. He has delivered approximately 2,000 addresses on astronomy throughout the United States and several Canadian provinces. The lecture is open to persons owning Weber college student activity cards or lecture series tickets. Admission for the general public will be one dollar per person. The lecture may be repeated March 6 at 11:30 a. m. WC Represented At Red Cross Meet Weber college was represented at the Pacific Area American Red Cross college unit convention in San Rafael, Calif., last week by Mae Welling, dean of women at the college; J. R. Allred, student representative; and Mrs. Marjorie Strand, chairman of the college unit. The Ogden representatives, who returned Monday from the confab at Dominion college, stated that a college unit would be immediately instated at Weber and that the aims of the group would be (1) giving advice and aid to the families of the college veterans, (2) fostering international friendship, (3) entertaining veterans still in hospitals and armed service groups and (4) achieving the usual benefits of all the Red Cross programs. The college unit organization, recently started by the Red Cross in American colleges, will somewhat resemble the American Junior Red Cross, already organized in the nation's high schools. college facilities, the addition of a new campus, and creation of a four-year college. Approval of the biennial general fund hike followed the appearance of Weber college President Henry Aldous Dixon before the joint appropriation comittee on the preceding Thursday. Sen. Ward, member of the appropriations committee, commenting on the committee's approval of budgets for five Utah institutions of higher learning, stated that the committee arrived at its recommendations by the use of a general formula with which they doubled the 1947 expenditures, and adding 10 per cent to personal services to cover salary increases. The joint appropriations committee's al Number 10 Russia and One World Discussed Randolph Churchill, son of the former British prime minister and prominent lecturer, told anear-capacity audience at Ogden high school recently that Russia could be part of one world only if she were converted to our point of view or if we were converted to her point of view. Churchill made this blunt statement in the debate on "Whether Russia could be part of one world" as a feature of the Weber college Master Minds lecture series. Siding with Churchill in the debate was H. R. Knickerbocker, Pulitzer prize winning correspondent of the Hearst papers and opposing Churchill and Knickerbocker was Walter Duranty, New York Times correspondent and noted authority on the Russian situation. Duranty, who was attempting to uphold the affirmative in the debate question, was greatly admired by the audience for his subtle brand of name calling as was evidenced by the applause and laughter following his rebuttal to Churchill's initial presentation of the negative. In emphasizing his point that Russia does not want war, and as a matter of fact could not prosecute a war, Duranty cited the fact that Russia has an immense territory to develop industrially and spiritually, and that since it does, it has no .reason for launching a world domination scheme. Duranty said that Russian domination of bordering countries was no more of the aggressive nature than is the British-American occupation of its 'recent battlefields. Churchill argued that Russia is a definitive aggressive power with a distinct desire to obtain world domination and that it is absolute folly tp disregard the Russian threat just as it was somewhat of a folly to disregard the German threat. The debate itself did not contain the expected substance but rather catered to the lighter thoughts of the audience and as a whole the audience seemed more impressed with the personalities and their mud slinging, than with the ideas and thoughts they set forth. AWS Prexy Is Weber's Friendliest Ruth Dixon was named the Friendliest Girl of 1947 at a Friendship banquet at the Hotel Ben Lomond Feb. 7. She was chosen by popular vote of affiliated girls of Weber college.

OK'D most complete approval of the Weber college operating appropriation request increased optimism for the success of the complete college expansion program. The expansion bills, now before both houses of the Utah Legislature, provide for the additional appropriation of more than $1,000,000 for purchase of a new Weber college campus and buildings, and creation of a four-year school with degree granting departments in business, liberal arts, and extensive expansion of nursing, premedics, and vocational education curricula and facilities.Supporting the expansion bills, numerous civic, women's, and service organizations of Ogden have initiated a letter-writ T71f3lfr' , " Vr:v ' see.

A letter from the Ogden chapter of the American Association of University Women stated that "We feel the present overcrowded conditions at th college demand additional facilities, and that in view of the fact that the population of Weber county has increased nearly one-third in the past six years, the present problems will not be solved by temporary measures, but will require a long-range plan." Other organizations from the Ogden area who have joined in the letter campaign include Delta Kappa Gamma, organization of women teachers, Women's Legislative Council, Ogden Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Executives, 20-30, and Sorosis Women's Alumni Association. 500 High School Students Scheduled to Attend By Nancy Beach Students from three states, totaling more than 500 individuals, will participate in the Weber college eleventh annual State High School Debating Tournament, March 7-8, 1947.
