Our Weber College Seems To Be Absolutely Safe for Present Time Students and Ogden citizens won a major battle against this session of the Utah state legislature when the law makers decided that there was too much public opinion to buck when they attempted to give Weber College a bad deal. Storm of Protests When the first incident brought into' the open concerning giving the college back to the L.D.S. church, a storm of protests arose making the passage of this legislation impossible. The protests came not because the people of Ogden have anything against the church but because the citizens felt the school would make greater gains if it remained under state supervision. Messages Streamed to Senators Letters, telegrams and telephone calls streamed to our representatives telling them to do all in their power to defeat Senate Bill 217. Plenty of student pressure groups invaded the capitol and made the legislatures know that the pupils of Weber were interested in seeing that Weber was not thrown to the way side. Lee Pulls Stinker After it was obvious that the bill would not receive any support, Governor J. Bracken Lee pulled another "Peter Lorre" when he suggested that Weber become a branch of the University of Utah. This also started an avalanche of protests and the idea seems to have died, for the time being at least. No Need for Worry It seems there is no immediate cramming, and Kenneth Yearsley made certain he would be ready for , . . : need to worry over Weber college but it was suggested by Mr. Lee that this proposition be considered once again next session. When this time arises it will be the duty of Weber County citizens to arise and protect Weber College. Ogden High's Assembly Draws Large Crowd Gne of the largest assembly audiences of the year witnessed the Ogden High School concert band's performance on Tuesday, February 13. The band, under the direction of Mr. John Phillip Dalby, presented an hour of enjoyable and entertaining music. Boyd Wecker, master of ceremonies, introduced each selection with an interesting account of its setting and mood. "The Syncopated Clock", and the "Clarinet Polka", a selection for a clarinet quintet, were considered by the audience to be the best of the nine selections played by the band. 4' r Success, Fame Come To Faculty Hubby, Wife Team From Weber Pearl and Thatcher Allred of the Humanities Department had a pleasant surprise when they were notified that a play that they had written was to be presented by the LUX TELEVISION THEATER, February 19. Even though it came as a surprise it was a pleasant surprise to have a work nationally recognized. The play was a one-act play en titled "To the Lovely Margaret," starring Margaret O'Brien in her first grown-up role. The play was also presented two years ago by the N. B. C. Television Theater, but did not receive the national recognition that this presentation did. This play was originally entitled "Orchards for Margaret," and had been presented by colleges and high schools all over the land. The play was first published in Play Magazine and was not expected to reach such heights. It's nice to have such a happening come into your life, especially to those who are interested in the theater," said Mrs. Allred. Keep Mar. 9 Open for Collegiate Promenade Collegiate Promenade, one of We ber's outstanding dances, is set for Friday, March 9th. Sponsored by Alpha Rho and Sharmea, the dance is expected to match last year's record attendance. The promenade will be highlighted by the selection of Mr. and Miss Collegiate, each of whom will receive a handy gift. Dance in Team's Honor Yiil Be Staged Tonight; Come Congratulate the Boys "Ya played great, Bill", "Nice goin' fellow". Plenty of these compliments will be heard tonight at the big victory dance held in the basketball teams honor at the ballroom starting at nine o'clock. The purpose of the dance is of-f course to heap "congrats" on the I heads of Weber s fine team after their recent winning of the mammoth Region Four basketball tournament held last week end. It's been a busy and wonderful week for the team because of the honors given them by Ogden residents but tonight will give them an extra thrill because the entire student body will have the opportunity to say, "Thanks, for a job very well done". Rex Gardner, head of the Social Committee, announced that a good band has been ordered and all is in readiness for the big Victory Ball. Darlene Powell is assisting Rex with the decorations and the basketball theme will be carried out on the dance floor. , This will be a student body dance and all the trophies won will be dis played so let's everyone turn out tonight and make this one of the best dances of the quarter since it is to be the last one.
