Show THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1942 Social vswiA on UJ&b&A Qolkqsi 'Peaches' Superior To Idaho Spuds, Weberites Find Idaho may be lovely for its potatoes, but that is not what Weber men are interested in. Decidedly attractive cadets from Southern Branch played a one-night stand at the Wildcat gym when their basketball team met Weber. The cadets were paragons of pep at the game. But the chief interest was blind-dating for the charm week dance afterwards. Dressed in their best, Weber smoothies who had accepted late hour dates with girls from the visiting school stood in nervous anticipation awaiting introduction to their partners. One look at the Cadet club and the city slickers knew that Idaho has plenty besides 'vegetables. Formal introductions were made in the women's lounge, after which everyone proceeded to the ballroom. Although taking a lot of Wildcat "line," they proceeded to show their escorts a good time in spite of the punishment. There seemed to be some disagreement as to just what time the cadets were to report back to their hotel. One fact was certain: they were to leave Ogden at ten a. m. the following day. All the girls are believed to have made their train. I. T. K., Frenisti Have Exciting Joint Activity The scene was a splashy and wet occasion, but overflowing with the fun that comes from an exciting game of "Keep Away," especially when everyone is participating in exhibitions of clown diving, underwater amphibians, action races, and general fun and frolic. Such was the scene recently enacted in the Weber college gymnasium as the Frenisti and Iota Tau clubs held their latest party, topped by an evening of dancing and games, accompanied here and there by the ever popular "corny jokes" so prevalent in college humor. Dancing and a luncheon were enjoyed in the Women's Lounge after the appetizing swim. The Frenisti fellows soon found out that the young lady of today knows how to cook. For who wouldn't relish a dish of hot spaghetti and pudding as prepared by the girls of I. T. K. A good attendance, made the occasion better than ever for those who worked late at school on their everlasting lessons and other duties pertaining to the school. The matinee dance which was held last Monday, March 2, was sponsored by the two clubs. Defense stamps were given away as prizes to start the students buying a share in the nation's emergency. Sigme Delta Pi Assimilates New Members Fellows who were Sigma Delta Pi pledges last quarter were made official members when they took their final oath at a banquet held recently. Members who took the oath are: Norman Fox, Floyd Champneys, Clive Wade, Wayne Casey, Larry Kasting, Walt Morby, David Meyer, Merlin Bingham, Cliff Hancock, Jack Miles, John Murphy, Frank Walquist, Clyde Smith and Howard Beaudoin. Honorary guests who attended were: Bill Sanders, president of Sigma Delta Pi last year; Gordon Jones, and George Wright, alumni members of former years. Regret was expressed by. members that former advisor, David Trevithick, was unable to be present. Last week, members of Sigma Delta Pi met in the lobby of the gymnasium for instructions relative to an announced paity to take place upon that date. Arrivals were met by club officers and directed to the Berthana roller rink which was unexpectedly found closed for sanding andre-varnishing. Not wishing to disappoint their dates, members attended various movies and then all met at the old rendezvous, the back room of Jim's cafe. During the party, pictures were taken of the groups for activity shots to be placed on the clubs page of this year's Acorn. President Bob Williams also states that bids are now out to new pledges and that sweaters can also be bought now if desired. For the benefit of those members who were not informed, club meetings will be held Wednesday noon instead of Wednesday night as has been the practice previously. College Inn Scene Of Knitting Bee The women students of Weber college have answered to the call of the Red Cross for knitters. Seen around various spots of the campus, in classroms, assemblies, and the "College Inn" are girls busily engaged in finishing off a sleeve, front or back of a green sweater. The yarn is furnished by the Red Cross organization. Every Friday Mrs. Fenwick meets with the girls in the ladies lounge from one until three. Those students who are interested in learning how to knit are given free instructions.

S. charm week at Weber college. On Wednesday afternoon an interesting talk and wardrobe display was given by Miss Beth Sum-merhays of Salt Lake City. Clothing that minimized the use of textiles needed for war use, and that accented the personalities of their wearer were shown. Dresses, suits and coats in a variety of colors were modeled. Thursday evening in the women's lounge, Mrs. Lenore Williams, former dean of women, at the Utah State Agricultural college, traced the development of charm through the building of personality, and conduct traits superior to womanhood.Girls of Tiki Kappa and La Dian-eada, demonstrated how to sponsor a semi-formal dance. An assembly presented by the A. W. S. showed just how much charm the Weber college coeds really have. The annual "Selective Service Ball" -concluded the week, as drafted Weber boys had a delightful time at the A. W. S. dance. Now that a five-day study of charm and personality is finished, every coed at Weber college has become "supposedly" more charming.Officers of the A. W.

Among the four occupants of the car was Mary Lou Madsen, Weber college coed of '41, who suffered serious injuries. Miss Madsen received a fractured skull which caused her to remain unconscious for several days. Latest hospital reports state that Miss Madsen's condition is improving slowly, but will take several days of rest and quiet-to return to normal. Vern Hadlock, a friend of Miss Madsen, received an injury to his hip and ribs. The accident occurred when a car driven by L. D. Newey, 3211 Adams, crashed into the rear of the car driven by Wright. It is believed Newey failed to pull up for a stop sign. Detective J. C. Hutchins, who first investigated the accident, said the driver stated he stopped for the sign and then shifted his car into second gear. He claims he did not see the Wright machine until he hit it. Miss Smuin and Miss Madsen are both members of Otyokwa.

If Your Book Is Junk Keep It, Brother; Most Keep It Anyway Such an immense supply of books for the soldiers has flooded the library, that no more space is to be found in the library either upstairs or downstairs. Perhaps this is the belief of the student body in general, but if this is the idea it i s exceedingly false. There have been only 13 books turned in to Miss Eva Browning, librarian, by students. Miss Browning hopes that those students who forgot their books will bring them to the library in the near future. The directions are simple: "Bring anything except junk. Clear your shelves of books you have read but for which you have no further use." Phoenix Club Holds Another Party Phoenix men held a stag party last week in the Central gymnasium.

It was in the next silent, expectant moment that Mildred Taggart, president of the association, called the glamorous Bob Bell from the ranks of preferred men as the fellow who had been preferred more than any other in the school.
