Clubs Inaugurate New Bid System On Weber Campus A new form of bidding was introduced at Weber college this year when the women's social clubs chose their pledges. A few days before silence week, each club submitted a preference list, which included the names of 10 girls they wished to pledge. Freshman girls submitted the names of their first and second choices in clubs. Choices and preferences were matched, and bids were given out accordingly. The indecision attached to making a choice from several bids was alleviated, for each girl received only one bid. There were none of the previously customary tears shed on "bid day" this year. The reason for initiating this new bid system was to help all women's clubs to continue to live on the campus. Each club was allowed to give out in the neighborhood of 10 bids, and every freshman girl accepted her bid. This is the first year in the history of Weber college that every first-year woman student has become affiliated. Miss Mae Welling, dean of women, was in charge of bidding. L. D. S. Institute Is Place Of Faculty Dance Faculty women and their partners were entertained at a dinner party in the Weber cafeteria last Monday evening.

A string quartet comprising Eugene Kinsford, first violin; VerDene Webb, second violin; Kenneth Parsons, viola; and Lu Jean Hinchcliff, celo, played the following numbers: "Allergro" from Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, "Menuetto" by J C.

Social vswi& on jJoh&h Qolkqsi Excelsior Greets Pledges in Ladies' Lounge Excelsior at last can heave a mighty sigh of relief as the gruesome pledge season passes into oblivion and the boys can go to bed before two a. m., at least four nights a week (a Utopian attitude.) Anyhow, tts's a consoling element to know that rushees are now pledges, and that the ragged copies of "Behave Yourself" and Emily Post's cheery discourse on etiquette can be turned over to these freshmen for their thoughtful consideration.As a climax to "rush week," Excelsior held a party in the women's lounge, Saturday, November 7, for the purpose of welcoming new pledges into the club.

Committees for the QampuA r II nnw ro Has Fun Along With Work If any of the readers should come dashing up the stairs that lead to the Moench auditorium some night about 8:30 and hear Thatcher Allred pouring forth with some choice bits of reverie from his days on various college stages, don't think for one moment that production on the fall play is at a standstill. Quite the contrary. It is just that the "blocking out" process is underway. If the reader had come around a few nights ago, he would have surely thought that production had ceased momentarily. A portion of the cast was seated in a casual circle in comfortable chairs outside the doors of the green room. Mr. Allred, attired in his shapeless, once-white coveralls, lent dignity to the gathering from his position on a cushion on the floor. Fred Nixon and Jim Andrews were causing the female contigent to sigh foolishly and the male of the species to cast admiring glances in the direction of their characterizations of Mayor Orden and Colonel Lanser, respectively. The cast walked through the entire play to get the "feel" of it and to plot the various scenes. Now that books have been tossed away, some semblance of character has begun to creep into their roles.
