The transfer, originally scheduled to be made at the beginning of this school year, has been postponed until next school year. President Miller said that the reason for the delay is to enable construction crews to complete sidewalks, street paving, landscaping, and hard-topping of parking areas. When the first postponement was met due to a delay in construction, it was hoped that the move could be made at mid-year. Excellent progress is now being made on the interior of the buildings, and they should be completed soon, President Miller said. reached by council The decision to delay the move until next school year was reached by the college administrative council because of the fact that inclement weather had unavoidably delayed the pouring of the sidewalks, hard-topping of streets and parking areas, and curb and gutter work. The college council also felt that permanent damage to the new buildings might be the result of premature occupation because mud and gravel would be tracked in on the sparkling new floors unless sidewalks and roads are hard-topped. The sprinkling system, which is nearly half installed will be completed next sprin.g as will the remainder of the landscaping.good luck on exams! ' 'i how to pass an exam in ten steps by lois mcdonough Closer and closer comes the time when all the teachers will find out just how little we know and how much we don't know. But don't worry about these final exams. Here's how you can pass an exam and learn the art of being cautious at the same time. 1. When entering the room, pick out an inconspicuous seat where you are well concealed. 2. Coax someone into sitting in front of you. 3. Come prepared with complete outlines of notes and a piece of scotch tape. 4. Tape the notes on the back of the person in front of you. 5. Next, copy details of the lectures on the palm of your hand. It might be wise to do this before coming to class. 6. Be sure you know the dependability of the answers of the students sitting on both sides of you. This should be established during the course of the quarter. 7. Put a page of notes under your test paper. Here's hoping the test paper is at least slightly transparent. 8. Place the textbook on the floor near your feet. 9. When the test begins, you just cautiously turn the pages with your feet. 10. My final suggestion is not too wise a one, but a few students may be interested. It sums up to this . . . "study!?' for the exam. DECEMBER 15, 1953, OGDEN, UTAH choice for their "Snowball." ooh! it's Christmas by pat carr The signs all , said, "Do Your Christmas Shopping Now. Avoid the Christmas Rush!" Well, to a person of my limited muscular development, this sounded like a pretty good idea, so I set out to do just that. My first impression of the city streets was one of rather morbid curiosity. I wondered what kind of an accident had occurred to have caused such a traffic jam, and all those people! Goodness! Someone must have been badly hurt. With noble visions of myself quickly and efficiently administering first aid, I pushed through the crowd to see what appeared to be the center, expecting to find a writhing body awaiting my care. You can imagine my surprise when I found myself inside a bargain basement, fighting for the very air I must breathe. I was confused, but the instinct ofself-preservation is strong in me, and I emerged victorious, possessing one black lace nightgown, one pair of shoe laces, and one rebuilt, super - automatic pipe cleaner. My Christmas shopping was well under way. All sense of judgment left me then, and I was propelled by the crowd in and out of juvenile shops, liquor stores, and antique shoppes. My respective rewards for these excursions were: one pair of Silly-Soft Baby Pants, one bottle of Seagram's 7, and a button from George Washington's coat, home again Seemingly many hours later, I found myself near a side street that led indirectly to my house. Gasping for breath, I ducked into it, and staggered homeward, my arms full of packages, my heart full of warmth. (Seagram's 7 is good that way) and a glorious headache. k- phoenix to crown snowball queen Phoenix will sponsor its annual "Snowball" Saturday night with three comely freshmen girls vying for honors as Snowball Queen. , Z 1 , Kathy Child, Ann Knight, and DOarCl Of COntrOl Marilyn Moyes will compete for by (Inane An insurance for all students, participating in all college sponsored activities excluding skiing, was given the Board of Control's approval in the Monday, 17th meeting. A special policy for skiiers will be presented early in the Winter quarter for the approval of the Board. Under the now accepted terms of the stu-, dents will be covered to and from school and in other instances such as sport, debate and field trips. The cost for the plan is seventy five cents. The music department heads, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Dickson, and Mr. Hanson made a request for and received board approval to allocate funds from the opera to the music department rather than give it to the debate department as was the case last year. Yearbook Sales A plan to up sells on year books and give incentive for developing a yearbook tradition was presented by representatives of the staff. They proposed that yearbooks be sold to students for a $2.50 down payment, with the balance to be paid later, preferably after Christmas. Unanimous board approval was given the proposal. Sales should reach 500 if a good book is to be produced. So far just 200 have been sold and the staff and the student body officers are urging students to help themselves and help the school at the same time by making an investment in a year book. deck the halls! r" I. mm , , v p' vx i U It? jZ Jim Tarro, Holly Glanville, George Bolteux, Jay Anderson, Pat Carr and Earl Garr harmonize around the Chrlstman tree.
