Hedonists Take Heed By DON FOWLER Are you a nonconformist? By definition one whose sole purpose in life is to become a true penthouse beachcomber, or high class bum; one who believes that to conform to the assinine rules with which society strangles itself is sacrilege, and to combat this sets up as his ideal a sort of Rabelaisian Complete Man.' Such an individual usually has good taste in the finer scriptures of literature, such as Huxley, Bau-delaure, or the Marquis de Sade, seasoned with a jigger of Hemingway and Steinbeck, and sprinkled lightly with a dash of Mickey Spillane. His taste in art runs to Picasso and La Tree, but usually centers around modern, bad, unknown abstractionists, whom the party in question either is having an affair with or else it is the party in question himself. As for music, it is strictly Lizst, Chopin, Beethoven, Basie, Getz and Krupa. The ideas in dress which are entertained and applied by a true nonconformist need not be mentioned here but may be reserved for some future issue of "Mad Comics". . Now the purpose of this treatise (defined loosely) is to lament the near passing on of Hedonists and Nonconformists -as a class. Sadly enough, or gladly, depending on whether you took heads or tails, this group is fast going the way of the nickel beer and high button kickers. The cause of this gradual demise can be traced to several reasons or can perhaps be theorized. Such as; humanity is evolving into a race with chronic stomach trouble (no guts), or perhaps a race in which egos are being crossbred out. If the latter is true then it is a sorry affair, for ego is ninety per cent of any conformists makeup. Then too there may be a growing j SCHOOL SUPPLY j !

The above and a few other minor reasons constitute a good answer to what s driving an otherwise budding crop of Hedonists to sheer conventionality, a n abominable state, to be sure. A Call to arms is herewith issued to all nonconforming hedonists to do battle against the tide of humdrum conventionality which is fast drowning us all, dragging us down to the depths of senility. - New Society To aid the battle it is proposed that a society be formed for the specific purpose of "preserving, encouraging, and upholding the principles of nonconformity hedonism and free scotch for all". This society will sally forth with banner raised on high reading "All for none and one for one with contempt for all." Any interested parties, male or female, who have an earnest desire to BE, contact me at some future date (especially if you're female) and back to back we'll strive to set up a setup (this failing, we'll drink it straight), wherein the flickering lamp of nonconformity shall be nurtured and preserved for the benefit of no one at all.

Almost everyday there are some who are turned away from the library because there just isn't room for everyone. This is a typical situation up above showing the crowded conditions and the need for more places to study. Fish House Offers You Terrific Buy Sirloin tip for 55c at the Fish House? I didn't believe it either. In fact, being the scoffer type, I didn't believe that the food served could be very good for that price, so I asked others who had tried it. They told me it was good, So-o-o, I'm a scoffer and nothing would do but that I try it out for myself. Thus, bright and early (12:30) one bright November morn oops afternoon, I cautiously took my last 60c and pessimistically entered, picked up a menu and became an optomist. I tried one of their lunches and found it super. Just listen, to the food they serve: fish and chips, breaded pork chops, sirloin tips, breaded veal, and meat loaf. With each one of the meals they serve a vegetable, french fries, and bread and butter Fish and chips are served every day. Why don't YOU give it a try. By Marcella Whaley Sometimes when your walking down the hall, you hear the darn-dest stuff; like, for instance, Ace Nelson impersonating that great comedian, George Gobel, with such phrase as "Well, I'll be a dirty bird". Then if you're in the lounge you might see Wendell "Jay" Hall slap his knee several times and give off a nice "haha" laugh which you wouldn't expect from a football player at all. - . Hal Stevens is putting himself through college on the money he can find under the cushions in the chairs in the lounge. Let George During a football game, Becky Gallegos gets all worked up when George Stettler is taken out at a crucial time. You should hear her yell, "Let George do it!" Ask Jim Anderson some day what CALVARY means, and he will tell you that "It's soldiers who ride on horse back". "OK, come on you guys, Dig' 'urn!" (compliments of Paul Bingham who picked up this phrase from a "rival" cheer leader) The Phophet Terry Call was prophesying unknowingly a few days ago when he was reciting some lines from Edgar Allen Poe, something about "Ring out, wild bells". That afternoon the "bells" did begin ringing when a "certain" girl leaned acci-dently against the fire alarm. Betty Peterson's frightened yell which pierced the late afternoon of Nov. 1, was merely because the dead grasshoper she was preparing to draw in Dr. Hayes Life Science lab, jumped". Lynnette Richards came through with a bright one the day the bells were ringing by saying, "Won't sombody please answer that phone?" Wanna laugh? Just look around ya, this stuff goes on all the time at Weber C. Dear Editor: By the looks of our library at certain times of the day, it appears that many students here at Weber, are in quest for knowledge. In fact it seems that there are more study-minded individuals than there are seats in the library. Many students have complained that they have gone to the library to study during their free hours and have been either very embarrassed for having to go all over looking for a chair; or else sadly disapointed in not finding an empty chair at all. It is even so bad, at certain hours of the day, that some students have had to resort to trying to study in their cars. With a beautiful new school like ours, with all of its facilities, it seems like something could and should be worked out to remedy this situation. Sharon Election Results Show Interest Of Utah Voters Routine will remain "pretty much the same" around Weber in the future. A proposed change in ownership was defeated when the state's voters last Tuesday cast a 120,683 to 79,995 vote decision. Governor Lee, who sponsored the move said, "The people have spoken on these issues and I am always willing to abide by their decision." Weber, Snow, Carbon and Dixie colleges will now remain under state control unless further steps are taken. Dear Editor: I don't know about you, Ed., but I think we ought to get more credit for some classes than we do because in these shell-thin classrooms you can hear your own teacher plus the one next door. In the "silence" of the library, when you are deeply engrossed in the current "New Yorker" what should be heard but the melancholy strains of male voices harmanizing "Purple and White", at the other end of the hall. It would certainly be nice if, at some later date (but not too much later) something could be done to remedy this situation.

These are just a few of the bothersome questions which must run through the mind of a rushee as he or she makes plans to attend a rush party. But the rushees are not the only people who have problems. The club members also worrying whether or not their plans for (he party will work. They are troubled with questions such as: "I wonder if everyone will be there?" "How shall I greet the rushees?" "I Wonder if the rushees will have fun at the rush party?" Then when the rush party is over, the rushees must sit back and wait for the results. Then comes the all important question which the rushee asks himself, "Did I make it?" The Big Decision All this time, the club members are diligently trying to decide on a set number of people to whom they will give bids. True, rushing is a worrysome, exciting time for all concerned, but what campus would be complete without its social clubs,. The social clubs on the campus account for the success of a school year. They are the organizations which sponsof many school functions such as dances, parties, song fests and many other events. They have been known as the live-wires of the campus routine. They unite the campus as a whole and work together for the better cause of Weber College. They give Weber that feeling of irienaliness and cooperativeness. They tend to make a BIGGER AND BETTER WEBER COLLEGE |
