Show Page 2 SIGNPOST November 13, 1959 Signpost Salutes . . . . Signpost congratulates students and faculty alike who contributed last week to the esthetic emphasis of problems encountered at Weber. On November 2 the little known class called Group Dynamics under the direction of E. C. Larsen conducted an unusual panel discussion on the problem "What effect does education have upon the religious beliefs of an individual?" Strengthens Beliefs The panel composed of both students and faculty decided that education effects an awakening and questioning of one's beliefs to strengthen them or adopt ideas better founded. Discussions such as these are altogether too infrequent on the campus even though college is the institution of learning. This class certainly warrants some recognition for their attitude of cooperative research. Last week-end marked a milestone in the leadership of Weber College when a Leadership "Retreat" Conference was held at Brighton Lodge. The purpose of this conference wa-i to acquaint student leaders with the problems existing at Weber and to develop each leader to be more effective in his position. Never So Much Success Never before in the history of Weber has any conference been so successful in its purpose in uniting Weber and discussing its problems. Surely the student officers should be congratulated for their foresight and organization of this unmatched accomplishment. The Signpost Student Union Building .1 Editor Associate Editor ...

By Frances Carr Signpost Exchange Editor I am inclined to believe the fellow who said that students who don't drive cars to school do better work knew what he was talking about. Due to "good fortune or possibly ill fate I inherited an old run down pile of junk, no strings attached. My true independence was here. I could go as I pleased and do as I wished. That was until I discovered driving on slippery wet roads called for pumping the brakes when the time came to stop.

The shame of driving citations is limited to the tight group which also forbids spitting of the sidewalk. I did not suffer harsh reproval but instead joyous acceptance. (Now if I get me a couple of gutter ants I win the gold bumper award.) With the fact that the gas gauge failed to reveal anything LETTERS TO THE EDITOR but full the second nasty encounter left me on the corner of 2-"ith and Kiesel with an empty gas tank at 12 p.m. Managing to coast to 21st and Kiesel I began a maddening hunt for a gas station. No Deposit I found one, all the good it did me. The attendant explained carefully, "I don't care if your George Washington, your not taking a can of gas from here without a $!.!).". deposit." I had exactly S.'i.no. I ended up carrying two discarded anti-freeze cans with 25c worth of gasoline in each one back to the Independence.Time passed and slowly I learned more about the faults of the Independence. It had no tail lights, an expired inspection sticker, sticking door catches, a leaky manifold, a gas cap that didn't fit, and a light under the dash that flickered on and off when I drove on bumpy roads. I didn't let these things bother me. It was the day that the start-i er stuck when I started wondering j if Independence was really worth I the price. I don't know how long I the thing rumbled and rattled aft er I left for school in my folks car, but my deliverer explained to me that the same thing happened to him when he owned the car. Windshield Crumpled Perhaps it is best not to mention the day my windshield was crumpled. But such a shock can not be left for the mere observer to define for himself. The day of the big wind was also payday. How was I to know that the hood of the Independence didn't have a proper catch. The first husky gust that hit the blasted thing straight forward, however, picked it up and flung it back, smashing the windshield and scaring the tar out of the passengers.Anyway, the darn thing is for sale it has a pretty good staring wheel. . .

Physical Education Important Dear Editor: Due to the recent controversy, of various classes on campus', it is about time one of the lowly people majoring in these unmentionable, worthless fields, should rise above the purge of these discriminating remarks and express their opinions. I have had my stomach full of the type of people who think that physical education classes are for high school students. It is a proven fact that one of the greatest lacks in a typical American youth's life is exercise and other benefits derived from phyical education classes. Maybe our mental qualities must be developed, but it would be idiotic to neglect our physical development.Let's just extract our brains and put them in a bottle if mental ability is all that counts.
