Issues will appear on the distribution stands on Friday, starting October 1. Newspaper officials felt that because Weber was joining the ranks of Utah's four year colleges, it was almost a necessity to have a weekly newspaper. A delegation composed of L. C.

He must be a full-time college student on either the undergraduate or graduate level. 2. He must be in good standing and capable of maintaining such standing. The primary and most essential condition of an applicant's eligibility for such a loan is that he is in need of the requested loan in order to complete his courses of study. Evaluate Finances In determining the need, members of the loan committee will evaluate the financial circumstances of both the applicant and his family. The money obtained through" the loan can be used only for college-related expenses that have been listed on the application. Existing obligations cannot be paid with the loan unless the repayment of the debt is necessary for the student to remain in college. Such arrangements should be made with Milton C. Mecham, chairman of the loan committee. Will Headline such a step. The motion was passed with little opposition. According to Mr. Wood, anyone ,who would like to . work on the newspaper will be given a chance to prove his abilities. Those interested should contact him in the Signpost office in the TUB or Mr. Evans in room fi27.

Plan Changes in The Weber College Board of Control met Saturday mornings at 7 a.m. last summer getting things ready for the new school year. Among- the business acted upon by the board was a revision of the constitution. The revision is not designed to meet the four year needs of Weber College, but rather to bring the constitution up to date. As it stands now it doesn't co-relate with current practices. The revision committee consisted of John Hale, Chairman; Lynn Taylor, Jan Clifton and K a t h y Kittock. - Under the present constitution, the duties of elections are given to the president even though the vice president has handled elections for some time. Other clauses destined for revision deal with the duties of the treasurer and business manager, which actually have never been practiced. It has been suggested by the committee that another clause which states that the Board of Control shall pass approval on all spending be deleted. The entire suggested revisions will be brought before the student body to be voted upon. According to the Chairman "The revisions are minor but without them we're running the school illegally."
