Some of the points were: improving of teacher personality, assuming of civic and social responsibilities, featuring of academic and vocational courses in the Acorn and Signpost. Third item was a group discussion led by President H. A. Dixon. The objective of the discussion was to clarify and unify faculty views on W. C. terminal education. Points dealt with were as follows: (a) What is the relative emphasis that should be placed upon terminal education at Weber college in the future planning of its curriculum ? (b) What per cent of the student population should be enrolled in the terminal division? (c) To what extent should Weber college be sensitive to the needs of industry and the nearby government defense industries? (d) Are the students in the terminal division receiving an adequate general education? How can this situation be improved? (e) Is the terminal division used to "pad" the school's enrollment? (f) Is the terminal division being accorded undue publicity? (g) Will the depression which will follow the present World war cause our institution to regret emphasis on terminal education?

Permanently BY GLADEN RUSSELL Miss Elizabeth Shaw, who is well known in music and educational circles in Ogden, has now become a life member of the Weber College Alumni association. Since the membership cost Miss Shaw $15.00, she is undoubtedly loyal to the old school. In fact, she is far more loyal than any monetary contribution could possibly indicate. Often an alumnus receives fully as much, or more than he gives to the school. In this case, much as Miss Shaw believes she has had from W. C, the school feels that it has received a deal more than it has given. She attended Weber college during the years of 1923-24 and 1924-25. She was prominent in the activities at Weber college, as is attested by the fact that she was associate editor of the Acorn in 1925 and on the staff of the Herald, which was the name of Weber's newspaper in 1925. In adition to the work on school publications, she sang in the opera and had a leading role in the school play. U. S. A. C. Grad. From Weber college she went to the Utah State Agricultural college in Logan. While there, she was a member of Chi Omega Sorority. In 1927 she graduated from that institution with a major in English. She then returned to Ogden and became a personal secretary to Mr. Aaron W. Tracy, a former president of Weber college. She also was a member of Weber's faculty and taught English. In 1933 she became an instructor at the Washington Junior high school, where she is teaching at the present time. Still as energetic and vivacious as she was when a coed at college, she is an active member of Delta Kappa Gamma, national association of teachers. During the year of 1938, she went to Columbia university in the state of New York where she studied English and pipe organ. Chief Interest She is a member of the Sunday school stake board in the North Weber stake. One of her chief interests, she reports, is music. In connection with her interest in music she belongs to the American Guild of Organists. When questioned as to what she had received and expected to receive from her membership she replied: "A natural portion of my life has been centered around Weber college. My membership keeps me in touch with many of my fine acquaintances that I formed at that time. I also receive a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction which is so vital in keeping one alive. Weber college has made great strides since I attended, and I am proud to be a life member of the Alumni association." Mystic "12" Puzzles Students Here Weber college has a brand new institution!

RUSHMER 2436 Washington Blvd. Lay Away Your COMMENCEMENT WATCHES and (Dm PACKER & WEST 2359 Washington Boulevard Miss Myrtle Austin Charms A. W. S. At Charm Week Exemplifying the grace she spoke about, Miss Myrtle Austin, dean of women from the University of Utah, captured the hearts of the Associated Women of Weber college when she spoke to them Thursday evening in the third event of Charm week. The meeting, under the direction of Rosella Larkin, A. W. S. presi dent, began with two songs by the Musettes, "Touch of Your Hand," and "Tea for Two." Mrs. Clarisse Hall, Weber dean of women, wel comed the girls' mothers and introduced Miss Austin. 'The most important thing a per son has to learn is how to live with others," quoted Miss Austin as she began her talk, "Charm and Eti quette for the College Girl." "Many of the girls have asked me how to be interesting, said Miss Austin, "and the secret of be ing interesting is being interested. . The most unhappy people I know are those who are interested only in themselves." Miss Austin said she thought the word "Charm" was greatly misused. 'Charm is so undefinable, and mod ern advertisers and charm teachers are exploiting and making the word mean almost anything." "If a woman has charm she needs nothing else, if she hasn't it she might as well be dead," quoted Miss Austin from Barrie. Fine manners are the shadows of great virtues and by practicing manners you increase virtues. All the laws of social conduct are based on these virtues; respect for self and consideration for others. Miss Austin concluded her talk by saying; "Acquiring the behavior of an educated person is not just practicing the little niceties, although that Is important, but it is the attitude of consideration for others which is much more impor tant." Oriental Setting Scene of Pledging Do you like birds' nest soup? Well, neither did the Iota Tau Kappans think they would, so they served instead an "Americanated" form of chop suey (with "bug juice") at their Oriental acceptance party recently. You'd be surprised, too, at the degree of proficiency with chopsticks the girls developed. It was a case of do or die from starvation. Everything from loud, stripped socks to the sheerest of hosiery went pattering over the floors at the home of hostesses Beth and Arlene Paul that evening, for each girl was required to remove her shoes before entering. The floor was also used, Instead of anything as soft as chairs, to sit on. Muchee fun hlad by all! Thlat's no dleam! (Chinese accent, in case you couldn't tell.) Iota Tau Kappa's new pledges, who were honored at the party, are Marjorie Andelin, Beverly Malan, Mary Mitchell, Margaret Tillotson, and Avon de Vree. Members present were Norma Brown, Maurine West, Marian Sander, Arlene Jenson, Mary Simpson, Faye Anderson, Lenore Neville, Frances Mary Stratford, Ruth Webb, Zada McGill, Dawna Shewell, Bernice McEntire, Betty Whittaker, Gladys Godfrey, Mary Virginia Briggs, Ruth Stromiberg, Arlene Andrew, Ruth Roghaar, Alice Porter, and hostesses Beth and Arlene Paul. M aland Parker Preferred Male Maland Parker, bashful Weber county man from Roy, was hailed as Weber coeds' preferred man of the evening. From the preference slips filled out of Weber girls Maland was named more than any other student.He is a sophomore here at Weber and is one of the most bashful fellows on the campus. The ordeal of marching the width of the ballroom to receive his gift was almost more than his retiring nature could stand. After receiving his gift he slipped through the crowd back to his favorite place in the sidelines. students got together to form a non-social organization at the school. This group which is composed of 12 members and a sponsor, holds meetings once each month to discuss pertinent topics of today or to preview current books. This new group is a campus mystery. Only those who are a part of the organization know all the facts concerning it. Its purpose, the reason for its fundation, and its members remain one of the unsolved questions of the college. The results from tests recently made indicate that while the speedometer on a ear may indicate 1000 miles have been traveled, the motor has actually been running for 1500 miles. GIFT NOW JEWELRY Bally) Rewarded . . . Excelsior Sweetheart, Donna Marie Curran, receives the supreme salutation of the club from President James Whetton. Tyrone Finds Curran Best For Excelsior Portrait of petite Donna Marie Curran will hang in Excelsior's hall of popularity and pulchritude as Excelsior's Sweetheart of 1941. She was introduced at the annual Sweetheart dance by James Whetton, club president. Her two attendents were Barbara Green-well and Betty Smalley. Donna Marie received an engraved gold locket with the club insignia and a gift certificate from Fred M. Nye company for $20.00. Her maids received evening bags. The bags and locket were furnished gratis by the Ogden firms Samuels and Smalleys to the queen and attendants.President Whetton bestowed the supreme baise upon the queen. This caress is an annual function performed by each Excelsior president as token of the queen's high honor. Actor Tyrone Power named the one among the seven candidates to be queen, using photographs as glamour data. Skulls' Barn Dance Scheduled for Saturday Evening Mid hay and sneezes, to the lilting strains of "Turkey In the Straw," the Skull club of Weber college on Saturday, March 1, will present their annual barn dance a be-yourself-and-enjoy-it shindig. In a special meeting held recently, Skull's president outlined the plans for the coming assembly and dance, and members of the club proceeded to execute those plans. Straw and hay a-plenty is promised by the decoration committee, headed by Chairman Richard Skeen. That punch comparable to Kentucky corn likker will be served, is pledged by the refreshment committee. Another committee "is securing the best music available," says the chairman. The assembly which will be presented at the regular hour, eleven a. m., Friday, Feb. 28, will have a "whatthehell'snext?" theme. In Les Gardner's words, "it promises to be very interesting, to say the least, other than that, we are keeping our plan a secret, so there is a surprise in store for everyone." For the dance, the fellows should find an old pair of overalls and W. C. Girls Give All-Girl Program For Girls This is about girls. Dorothy Lichfield and Virginia Allen directed the first Charm week number, Tuesday. It was Joan All-red's one-act play, "All This and Allan Too." Beverley .Turgens, Helen Thorpe, Mary Lou Foutz, Lucile Burbidge, and Nita Chard furnished the Hollywood talent. It was an all-girl cast. Elizabeth Blair played a piano selection, Mary Williams sang, Evelyn Anderson read, and Viva May Gammell did an organ prelude. In other words, the program was girls, girls, girls. KLENKE FLORAL 2955 Washington Blvd. Phone 1240 ARTISTIC FLORAL 2454 Washington Blvd. Phone 611 QampuA Clothes Express You, Says Mrs. Summerhays "Clothes are an expression of you and your personality," Mrs. Beth Summerhays said Wednesday in a Charm Week lecture. Dress-conscious coeds met at three p. m. in the ladies' lounge to hear the Z. C. M. I. fashion expert in the second event of the series. The lounge was decorated to carry out a military motif with crossed flags and lighted candles of red, white and blue. The program was under the direction of Marion Fiet. It began with two songs by the W. C. sextet: "My Lover's a Fisherman" and "Sunrise and You." Miss Gertrude Thody introduced the speaker. Oh's and Ah's Oh's and ah's, sighs of rapture, were heard as the students and faculty women watched the two models from the Z. C. M. I., Margery Ashton and Barbara Grew, demonstrate what the well dressed college girl should wear. "Observation is the best means of learning about clothes," said Mrs. Summerhays, "so keep your ears open, your eyes open, and learn all you can about this fascinating subject, fashion." Mrs. Summerhays suggested magazines as another valuable means of learning about fashion. "Mademoiselle magazine is one of the best for this age group," she stated. Two school costumes were shown by the models, one the new 'Jerkin' style in military colors of gabardine and jersey materia! and the other a new variation of the old sweater theme in dyed to match colors and made from wool flannel and knit materials. Buy Basic Clothes "Because American women need clothes that go anywhere anytime, basic clothes have become a very important part of every woman's wardrobe," said Mrs. Summerhays. "Buy good basic clothes and change them with different accessories," she suggested. Various basic clothes with changes of accessories were shown by the models, who came out in one costume carrying a little bag and with the contents of this bag changed their outfit several ways. "You can't expect your clothes to show up to their best effect," Mrs. Summerhays said, "unless you have good foundation, good grooming and good makeup." It is better to be under-dressed than over-dressed. Dress for the occasion, and try for harmony of texture, period, type and color in dress. These were some of the rules Mrs. Summerhays suggested that the girls follow. "To be your most charming you must be your most attractive, so strive for individuality," she concluded.7". K. K. Pledges Accepted at Tea T. K. K. pledged three young ladies at a tea Sunday afternoon at the home of Helen Williams. A lovely centerpiece bearing the club insignia decorated the buffet. The girls were greeted by the members and after the pledging ceremony were decorated with the pledge pin. Those girls pledged were Lucille Campion, Betty Calvert, and Lois Rosenbaum. The members present were: Ruth Compton, Marian Nyland, Nola Agricola, Helen Williams, Louise De Wit, Meriam Pledger, Winona Webster, Suzanne Herchberger. Barbara Arnold, a former member was also present. a big red handkerchief and blow themselves to a good time, while the girls drag out their old Daisy Mae costumes and snag themselves a "little Abner." The newly-elected officers, who are Les Gardner, president; Eugene Talbot, vice president; Del-mar Stone, secretary, and Jerry Young, treasurer, are in charge of the barn dance. This dance will be held in the Weber college ballroom, starting at nine p. m. The price is set at 50 cents a couple. Want Something Unusually Delicious? Then Come to PALACE CANDY CO. 2323 Washington Blvd. Prominent Clubs Entertained By Musettes The Musettes are unusually fond of Jerome Kern's music and from his compositions have selected "The Touch of Your Hand," "Can I Forget You," "Why Do I Love You?" and "The Way You Look Tonight." The "Red Coats," as they have been called, do not confine their talents to love lyrics alone, but also sing such favorites as "Romany Road" from "The Fortune Teller" by Sigmund Romberg and the "Waltz of the Fl iwers" from the "Nutcracker Suite." Nevertheless their favorite number is the slightly syncopated "Tea for Two" from "No, No, Nannette;" this they sing gleefully at the "mere drop of a hat." Thus far, the "Musettes" have sung for the Salt Lake City and Provo Rotary clubs, the Ogden Rotary, Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Sportsman, various womens clubs and churches, and are looking forward to a return invitation to sing at the Annual Letterman club banquet, (they hope!) They have apparently, under the capable direction of their congenial instructor J. Clair Anderson of the Weber college faculty, pleased pleased their audiences. Sophvita Members Given Flowers Entertained, Evelyn Stromberg and Wealtha Sharratt entertained members of Sophvita at a luncheon held at the home of Miss Sharratt February 22, preceding a theatre party.
