Some students were confused regarding college policy in this matter. Since the Ogden Community-Weber College Concert series was first innaugurated approximately eight years ago the college has had an agreement whereby they would obtain 400 seats at each concert if the student body would-contribute a specified amount toward defraying expenses of the series. This year that amount is approximately $2200. Appropriation of the money is made by the board of control from student body funds. If students were to purchase tickets on the same basis as non-students at $6 each, the total cost of the 400 seats would be $2400. With the college buying the seats and allowing admission on student body cards, students are saved $200 per year. Moreover, in most concert programs students in excess of the 400 contracted reservations are allowed on student cards. The exact amount for the Nelson Eddy show was 432, and the student attendance is, in most cases, above that amount. In fact, this is the first time since the concert series began that student attendance has been restricted in any way, and it was necessary this time by an unusually heavy ticket demand by regular concert patrons outside of the college. It was suggested that an extra performance be arranged so that all Weber students could attend. An extra concert by Nelson Eddy would have cost in excess of $2700, which is more than the total Weber college contribution to the entire concert series. The arrangement made between the community and college compares favorably with similar arrangements in other cities. In Salt Lake City the University of Utah is allowed 2750 seats for 9000 students. In percentage points this is almost exactly the same as the Weber allotment. Both are very near 28 percent. The above arrangement is an exceptionally good one for Weber students. It would be financially impossible for the student budget to finance the cost of the concert numbers without the help of the public. The Ogden Community-Weber College Concert series has proved to be among the highest type of cultural and entertainment features ever promoted in Ogden. The present seat shortage illustrates the value and popularity of the series. Weber students are extremely fortunate to be so closely affiliated with it. t.. . . , -. , f J Rendezvous with Peggy Lee Stormy Weather Why Don't You Do Right I Can't Give You Anything But Love i Stan Kenton i One Album Come Back to Sorrento I Fantasy I Another Album This Is My Theme f Lament !

Lou Thanksgiving greetings, kids. Here we are back at that time of the year when it's legal to stuff yourself wittout being called piggish and be thankful for it. A lot of us have many extra things to be thankful for after the trip to Los Angeles, don't we kids? wen, it s time tor tne a. w. h, Thanksgiving dance and a chance for you girls to get a date. (It may be your first, last and only, so take advantage.) No fair hiding fellows, you had your season for "Deer" hunting, now it's our turn. Seriously though, we all have a million things to be thankful for and although it isn't quite ethical to think of them only once a year, better once than no time at all. With the eighth week over and all our tests successfully flunked maybe we can take at least one day out to be thankful especially for the fact that this is a long quarter which gives us two extra weeks to catch up on those notebooks we haven't done a thing on, and those term papers due at the end of the quarter that we as yet, have neglected to select a subject for. With all the pledges, official now, clubs are really getting underway for the season and it looks like a full one, (just try to get a date on the activity calendar and see). Speaking of clubs, the student body and club pictures for the yearbook were taken last week and after the proofs were returned some of us got a shock. It wasn't the photographer either, we really look like that! Now for some Daffynitions. Acquaintance A person, whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to. Admiration Our polite recognition of another's resemblance to ourselves. Advertising Makes you think you've longed all your life for something you never even heard of before.

S. matinee dance, was a very successful gathering that brought about friendlier relations between the women and men of the Weber college studnt body, according to Dee Call, A. M. S. president. The dance took place at the college ballroom at noon, where couples were shunned and stags, especially women, were welcomed. Jack's Popcorn Shop Fountain Service and Delicious Hot Buttered Popcorn 2574 Washington 4 HENRY By Lehman Henry When I turned on my radio last night, I caught a station with this so-called "radio commercial." "Drop dead! Drop dead! Drop dead! Drop dead! .... DROP DEAD! ! !" Then the announcer went on to say, "Yes, ladies and gentlemen, ilrop dead! Customers used to flock into our building a few years back, but now business is slow. People were just dying to get in a few years back, but now business is slow. Why not help us pick up business by dropping deud? We can arrange to give you a real funeral for only, and only mind you, $32.95 with four extra services including pall bearers and two white lillies. . . . No down payment necessary. This announcement was brought to you through the courtesy of our kind (sob) sponsor, J. W. Boxem Mortuaries. What are radio commercials coming too? I don't know, but that may just be due to the fact that I don't know anything anyway!I don't know (there I go again) if you have already read the new book that has just been recently released, "The Two Cases of Bea," by I. Booze Moore, one of America's men of distinction, but I'll give you a brief resume of the story anyway. The story is an ordinary one, one with a happy ending and three main characters ... a triangular plot. Bea, the town's sot, had two friends, one named Bud, a good fellow he was . . . Bud Weiser, and the other was named Becker, short for Rebecca riming with double-decker. She was the woman in the story and what a woman she was! Becker could put anyone in a trance by just a tip of a glass, or maybe a couple. Bud was the town's idiot and Bea's first case. Bud loved Becker and Bea had to do something to get him out of the way because he too loved and wanted to marry Becker. Becker was Bea's second case because he had to make her love him, a drunkard, so that they could be married. This is what Bea did to make Bud forget about Becker and Becker think about him. ... He gave Bud a brown tinted bottle filled with happy liquid in it and took him to the edge of a high cliff where Bud was to kiss the moon good-night by walking out to it that night. That was the end of Bud. To get Becker so thut she would love him, Bea gave her the same kind of brown tinted battle and told her to marry him. She married Bea and everyone was happy . . . until mnrninir nfr luncf Jensen Floral Co. Soy With Flowers Corsages and Wedding Flowers 1901 Wash.
