Show The Good Life Result of Good "The good life is not easily achieved, it is the result of a lifetime of living." This was the general theme of the recent We ber State leadership Conference as set by the keynote sneaker, Mr. LaVar Rockwood, of Brigharn Young University. The conference was attended by some 90 student leaders from Weber with the idea of learning more about their jobs and how to lead well in them during the coming school year. To truly learn to live requires balance in experience and not words that are meaningless without an experience to go along with them. With this in mind the Leadership committee, which was very well lead by Kent Bulkley and Terry Rich with the assistance of Lyle Bair and Bert Ninalga, outlined a daily schedule which removed any myths of the grand young' leader how to go about the leading of people. The agenda instead put the conferees to the experience of learning how to live. Learning to live entails variety. In the 2& days at the conference each person was allowed the opportunity to see his fellow student leader in the experience of listening, discussing, and enjoying the activities which ranged from learning sessions to recreation in numerous forms. Such a schedule did much to draw the strings of unity around the leaders of organizations, clubs, and studentbody offices as they exist here at Weber. Before we as students in the experience of education can learn to live with others we must have the opportunity. That opportunity becomes, by mandate, a duel responsibility.

Chicago Boston Los angeles San Francisco Letters Dear Studentbody, The Letters to the Editor section of the editorial page of the Signpost is that portion of the paper that is given to the students to express themselves on the many things that come up in the paper or on ideas and thoughts in general. The editors would very much appreciate the participation of the students and faculty in this column. The letters may be type written or longhand (readable) and will not be limited in content only so far as they do not conform with good journalistic standards. Each letter should be A Living school to provide the opportunity and that of the student to grasp the opportunity. The curriculum and calendar is so designed as to provide the same experiences for the student that the leaders at the conference had, namely learning facts, discussing pro blems, and enjoying the persona lities of people as they engage in various recreational activities Dr. Merle Allen, Dean of students, made known to the leader ship conference that education is the business of changing people To be sure one can absorb facts for four years and claim a de gree in his field, but it does not mean that he has been educated. Only if and when he learns to live with and understand people can he say he is in the process of education. To learn to live requires the imagination to conceive one's self in the act of improving in his ability to get along with his fellow man. To simply see it from the other's man's point of view marks a giant step in the progression of your education. The leaders of Weber State have been given the challenge to be leaders who provide the experience of learning and not leaders who merely direct. They have accepted1 the challenge, and will provide the opportunity of experience. It is now only appropriate that we as students be challenged to grasp the oppportunity. This means making the most of your classes by attending, listening, and discussing as the first step in education. Then if follows that he should just as dilegently apply himself to the task of ex-perienceing an optomistic interaction with those who are his fellows. Staff A.

The Editor Dear Editor: I would like, on behalf of the leadership committee to thank Is SI Opportunity Unlimited For the Diligent "Beginning is but the beginning," and we are now in that process. To start is not the hard part, to continue is not the hardest part, but to finish is the battle So may be our outlook as the students of Weber Slate College embark on the 1964-65 year. For most students school has always offered a challenge in one form or another. For most students the challenge is a personal view. It may be accepted in the spirit of the All-American, in the spirit of the everyday man, or in the spirit of the man who will one day be seen walking by the roadside with his knapsack on his back. That is the personal choice of the student who says, "Yes, I am going to go on to college." As he says this is it assumed that he will finish. Interestingly enough each one of us starts out his college life on the same basis, no man being any further ahead than the next. However, it isn't long before one student begins to make his mark while the other remains in the chaos of beginning. Some grab hold and some do not. According to a recent article in Look magazine this year's crop of beginning freshmen is better prepared than any to pre cede it. If such is true and bearing in mind that half of Weber State's enrollment is freshmen then we should expect a most successful year here on this cam- See me on Page 5 all of those who attended and participated in this years leadership conference held at Aspen Grove. From all reports, (lie conference was a tremendous success and we anticipate it will contribute to a great "64-65" school year. I also want to thank the members of the leadership committee, Terry Rich, Lyle Bair, and Bert Ninalga for the effort they put into the planning and carrying out of the leadership program. Sincerely, Kent Bulkley Chairman, leadership Chairman, leadership committee pus with the new look. Some of the qualities of a successful year are unity, spirit, and cooperation. There are several tilings which should contribute to the overall unity of this campus as never before. The residence halls will lead to more students being personally concerned about what is going on on campus both day and night. It will lead to more students who do not make this their permanent home taking a greater concern for tire quality of atmosphere that is here while they are. Also it follows that we will all learn to take pride in the things we have here which naturally , unify us, namely our activities. Perhaps one of the best examples is athletics and the informal and friendly atmosphere in which they are usually held. All of these things concern the studentbody in general, we do have individual responsibilites. Each of us has the responsibility to be diligent in the studies that have brought us here to Weber State. Without this we will not long enjoy the things that we have mentioned. Secondly, we should all put forth extra effort to understand and give assistance thirdly, we will be judged by our overall performance while we attend college. It is this that will determine which of us will make his mark of success on this campus, the people he meets and the community in which he lives. LITTLE MAN 'Class, it has been broue-hfc we should review school policy oh class "cots'." Signpost Advertising It will become evident to most students that the Signpost will have a great deal of advertising in this issue and those to follow. It is for this reason that the editors see fit to once again explain this situation to the studentbody that they might be tolerant of the advertising and more willing to take advantage of it. The following is quoted from the Signpost May 15, 1964. We feel that there will be a definite perpetuation of advertising in the coming year with ads coming from national sources and-grocery stores to appeal to the on-campus student. It will be an unwritten policy of the Signpost to keep the paper on a 50-50 basis as nearly as we can be with a provision for two more page of ads that are sold. The case for advertising in the Signpost is a strong one from the standpoint of community support from the merchants in the Ogden area. As long as their ads are in our paper then is stimulates support from the reader for the college and the merchants who serve us. It also serves as a recognition that we are an asset to the community of growing importance. When advertising is sold to the local businessmen it cannot be sold with a limitation on the amount of space you will let to the advertiser. If this were done then he would soon quit placing up the money brought in from the ads after being told there wasn't enough space for his ad. The solution is to print a larger paper. Professionally, most papers work on a 50-50 basis with the advertising. That is about one-half of the paper is always ads. Some who are disgusted with the ad situation in the Signpost have suggested that we sell no ads at all. This was the policy until a couple of years ago. In the years that advertising did not appear in the paper, the Signpost ran in the red each year. As now set up the money brought in from the sale of ads is not added to the working budget, but is put in the income budget set up for the Signpost. The income budget is a given amount of money that the Signpost is commited to earn towards the support of its publications. That money over and above the required amount is put in a general fund. In order to obtain additional money for larger papers a petition for additional funds from the studentbody general fund must be appropriated by the Senate. fn ON CAMPUS |
