"This Is The Year" Say Weber Leaders As Four-Year Status Drive Continues "This is the year" was a frequently repeated expression as members of the Weber College Advisory Board and other officials spoke at the breakfast which opened the 1952 fac ulty institute, Speakers left no doubt that they meant the four - year college should be secured for Weber at the next meeting of the Utah legislature.As pointedly as any of the dozen important figures who were guests at the breakfast, Dr. E. Allen Bateman declared: "There is just that element of righteousness about it" because of the desire and need of the' heavy concentration of population in the extensive area which can legitimately be considered as centering in and about Ogden. "The time has come for men of faith to speak out. I think you are right and hope you do it," he declared, pointing out that he was speaking from his own personal viewpoint on state education and not as a representative of the state board of education. Dr. Bateman, who is state superintendent of education, said he had the assurance of David O. McKay, president of the L. D. S. church, that he is back of the plan for a four-year school. Military Week To Come Oct. 6 A thorough presentation of the present military picture is to be made at Weber College during the week of October 6th. The important role that our college men play in preserving the nation's military, industrial and cultural strength will be emphasized. Provisions of the armed force program for the encouragement of college training will be explained by representatives of the various military services and the military adviser, Dean Gardner. It is planned that the information will be made available to every student, both boys and girls, and their parents. After everyone becomes familiar with the rights and duties of our boys, school work and play will be much more meaningful to all. Five New Faculty Members Start First Year at WC Several newly employed instructors were announced by the administration in both utility courses and cultural subjects.

Stipe as grain manager and district coordinator in the inter-mountain area. Business Manager Tom Burton: "I missed half the week, but tin half I saw looked great. I m sure the year will be the same." Court, Pep Rally, Grid Game, Dance Climax Turvy Week Today's activities including the traditional Kangaroo Court, Pep Rally, game, and dance climax the swirling events of the year's first week, Freshman Week.

Set to welcome the freshman today at 11:00 in the Moench auditorium is an assembly, Kangaroo Court. The BTB's (Beanie Topped Babies) will get a somewhat unusual welcome today as they are tried by a court consisting of Boyce Harris as Judge, Ron" Jenkins as Prosecuting Attorney, Bob Critchlow as Bailiff, a biased jury, and the Freshman's friend, Jim Swenson, as defense attorney. . After guilt has been established, punishment will be inflicted by Allen Cook and Tom Burton. Game details will be found on the Sports page.

Master of Ceremonies was Wayne Carver, with appearances by President Dixon, Carol Ebert, Don Soelberg, Shirley Burns, and the Harmonettes. The traditional flaming W hike this year reverted back to the past when everyone used to hike to the top of Malan's Peak. Wednesday the hike was on with a torchlike W flared out by railroad fusees at the top. Eats and a program highlighted the event.

Dixon pointing out to the students the means to wealth of happiness and character.Thursday was proclaimed recuperation day. As Raelene Sohm-ers, Student body Secretary put it, "The Student body officers worried on Thursday because there wasn't anything to worry about." A summary of events of Freshman week in relationship to the coming year is lound in a few words from the Student body officers:President Val Lofgreen: "With the help that we've had from the student body during the past week, I can't believe anything but that this year will be tops." Vice-president Jane Powell: "If the past few days are exemplary of your Weber 'spirit', we're all set for a year full of vim, vigor, and vitality. Your support Is greatly appreciated, because we know the success of the year depends on this kind of backing." Secretary Raelene Sommers: "This year seems to be a very promising one. The enthusiasm and willingness to work that the students and faculty have already shown, assures us of the best year ever. I think It's going to be great!" Treasurer Allen Cook: "If you've read this far, you're tired, so I'll just say, 'You're i, we're set, let's go Weber'!" |
