During final week at Weber State College, studying becomes a real challenge. Summer Finals Over Now, Get Some Sleep Of all the folk-heroes of the West there was never a more desperate desperado than the ferocious young outlaw known as Bobby the Kid. For indeed Bobby was a colorful character. Even today, they tell stories of how he would ride across- the plains with his long hair in his eyes and his teeth flashing, screaming, "Let us press forward !!!" He was feared by everyone, but especially by the older bandits who know that someday they would have to come to a showdown with him. Strangely, though, young people admired him. They tried to forget the fact that he was an outlaw and accept him as a human being. Now, the Kid belonged to the Johnson gang, which ravaged the countryside stealing from the rich and stealing from the poor and not giving anything to anybody. Although the Kid agreed in principle with the gan's actions, he was very often in opposition with the leader of the gan, "Lawless Linden" Johnson, and his sidekick, Humble Hube. The Kid had his first run in with Linden over a simple little thing like a bank robbery. While the gang was hiding out in the hills, they made plans to raid the city of Amarillo, Texas and rob the banks. The next day they en tered the city fearlessly with their guns blazing. Within a few minutes, they had emptied the vault of one of the banks, and were well on their way back to the hideout. As they sat around the camp-fire in the evening, planning the next day's raid, the Kid blurted out, "Now, uh, it is my opinion that, uh, we should get out ofAm-ariller!" "What?" said Lawless Lin den. "What?" "I said, "It is my should get pqiico ir' S, echoed Humble Hube. uh," he repeated, opinion that, uh, .we out of Amariller be- uh, not just right. Furthermore, I think we should give the townspeople some of their money back. After all, uh, we may be outlaws, but we're certainly not imperialists!" Lawless Linden was stunned. Was this the boy he had cared for from childhood and taught to be a good bandit? Could this be the sweet cherub who used to sit on his knee and call him "Uncle Linden?" This was the first time he had challenged his judgement on any matter and it had him scared. Humbel Hube was even more scared. He knew that the Kid was young and ambitious, and he envisioned himself mysteriously disappearing and the Kid becoming Linden's new sidekick. But there was not much he could do about it. He never really knew how he got to be Linden's buddy in the first place, and now that he was, most of the time he didn't know what was goin on. But this started Linden thinking. Maybe having a romantic young fellow like the Kid by his side would enhance his own popularity, and people wouldnjt complain so much when they were robbed. So one night, just as expected, Humble Hube disappeared and was never heard from again. It was even said that when anyone mentioned his name, Lindon "'ould just smile and say "Who?" (Continued Next Week) It's over, finally, and if some Weber State College students you know, look a little sleepy this week, it's not without a cause. Final examinations for summer quarter classwork were administered this week to some 3,000 students. The testing period began Wednesday and ends today, with 2 hour examinations scheduled for every 3 and 5 credit class. Final exams in those 1 and 2 credit classes were held the final day of classwork, which ended Tuesday. In an informal poll of students, the general censensus of opinion seemed to be: It's good to have them over, r-they were tough. - - Maybe final week isn't long enough; it's easy on the teachers to get their examinations quickly completed, but on a student carrying a heavy load, it's pretty rugged. - - Teachers who insisted on covering the entire book in the last two weeks of class should think about teaching during the other six weeks of the quarter. - - Students who waited to cover the entire book in the last weeks of class probably didn't make it through the finals. - - Everyone's pretty tired.
