To the pleasure of the club's members a largo crowd attended which added to the evening's success. Sigma Delta Pi is now laying Dance Chairman Takes Place Of Dan Cupid Miss Helen Home, freshman representative of A. W.

The "Preferences'' are the annual dance presented by the Associated Women students as a climax to Charm week. Miss-Home put forth a conscientious effort towards making the dance a success. The girls were a bit doubtful at first about putting down the fellows name they really preferred, but with the help and reassurance of their freshman representative, most of them have cooperated and everyone is looking forward to Friday the twentieth, the night of the Preference ball. LEARN TO BOWL at the Mapleway Alley BY JUNE VAN DE GRAAFT You've no doubt heard the old saying, "She wears enough paint to paint a battleship, and enough powder to blow it up." Needless to say, such a condition among American women is decidedly unpatriotic, but this condition, which is not prevalent among most Weber coeds, will soon be remedied by Unce Sam as many of the items used in cosmetics are vital to national defense.English women met the situation most adequately when they cut out nail polish and' had their hair trimmed short in order to conserve on polish, bobby pins and time. American girls are doing away with shoulder length bobs, too, and soon the debutante droop of the past three or four years will be replaced by the more short and easily manageable cut hair. Cutting out some of the less necessary articles of makeup might save women some embarrassing situations. Supposing your mascara isn't tear-proof, and the situation calls for tears. If you give, the mascara runs. If you don't give you lose the dramatic moment. See how much easier a situation such as this would become if you wore no mascara? Lots of glamour comes off with the powder base, too, so you who wear this aid to beauty, be careful that the man of your dreams doesn't catch you with your face off. Make up among American women is due to be drastically changed to meet new demands of the government upon materials and time. Lipsticks will appear in new tubes of plastics or wood in place of the former metal; compacts will be changed to plastics. The numerous shades of cosmetics will melt into several basic shades, and bright nail polish will become less and less popular. This new situation will be new to American women, but such a cut in make up will certainly not shatter morale. American women can meet any situation so long as they have alipstick. Personality Traits Topic of A. W. S. Meeting Highlight of Charm week as sponsored by the Associated Women students of Weber college will be presented February 19, at seven-thirty p. m. in the Moench auditorium.Mrs. Lenore Lewis Williams will speak on the subject of "Personality Traits Which Contribute to Superior Womanhood." She is the former dean of women at the Utah State Agricultural college. Her outstanding and attractive personality makes her the ideal speaker for the topic chosen. In addition to the personality pointers, members of Tiki Kappa Kappa and La Dianaeda will present a practical yet humorous two-act skit which illustrates the proper manner in giving a semi-formal dance. Since the girls' clubs make a practice of giving semi-formal dances the skit will be of great value to the girls in attendance. Attractive invitations are being given to the girls by the coed councelers; but if by chance any girl is overlooked, she is invited to attend. plans for their serious initiation, which will take place this Sunday at Green Gables starting promptly at eight p. m. Those pledges who survived "Hell Week" and frivolous initiation will then receive their official membership Into the club. A letter of invitation has been sent to David Trevithic asking him to be present, as the guest of honor, stated club officers, Bob Williams, president; George Wright, vice president; Wayne Casey, secretary; and William Johnson, treasurer. An interesting program has been arranged in conjunction with the main event of initiating the new members. "SWEETHEART" . . . Just looking at pictures of pretty girls; that's what kind of a job Excelsior wished on Don Amcche when they asked him to choose their sweetheart. The only rub is that one girl must be selected as the prettiest. That's some job! Telegram Carries Don Ameche s Choice For Excelsior's Sweetheart of 1942 Pretty Coeds Parade Boots Despite OPM By JEAN ANNE WATERSTRADT Slushy winter weather always brings forth a varied array of rubber footwear sported by Weber coeds. Sloppy boots, trim boots, clean boots, dirty boots, white boots, red boots, brown boots, black boots, zipper boots, buckle boots, patriotic boots, and last but not least the time-honored galoshes. "Galoshes" is such an awkward word, not the least bit dainty. "Boots" sounds so dignified, so sophisticated. Perhaps that accounts for their popularity on the campus this season. What with priorities and the war, we expect that rubbers, boots, and galoshes will receive extra special care from their owners to insure them against too early cracking and wearing. If worst comes to worst, coeds can cut their high boots to the ankle length and donate the tops to tire manufacturers for defense. Anyway, that's a thought even if it isn't practical. A few die-hards are still trotting from Moench to gym to Central in their saddle oxfords sans the protection of rubbers. They are either extremely economical with an eye to the day when there will be no more boots and they can trot theirs out from storage with a smug satisfaction or else they are hoarding. Let's sic the OPM on them. Besides they might catch cold In this April in February weather. By the way fellows, have you noticed those interesting black smudges adorning coeds' legs when they aren't wearing their boots? No, that isn't because they neglected their semi-annual scrubbing. Blame it on the weather and the boots. Maybe someday, someone will invent lining for footwear that cleanses as it rubs instead of dirtying. But that's a task for a chemist and not a reporter. All of which reminds us that the annual siege of spring fever is about due to sweep the campus. A.W.S. Depicts Campus Life An interesting assembly will be sponsored by the Associated Women students on February 20. The assembly will consist of a one-act play written and directed by June Van De Graaff. The plot concerns the activities about the campus as far as civilian defense is concerned. The characters will be Suzanne Hershberger, Lorraine Dame, Mildred McPhie, Margie Stuart, Itha Russell, and Bernice Childs. The characters will portray themselves. Since A. W. S. is building their entire program around the all important subject of defense, arrangements are being made with Hill field who have promised to present a surprise portion of the program. Students are reminded by Mildred Taggart, president of the A. W. S. and Mrs. Clarisse Hall, dean of women, to keep February 20 in mind as the date for an interesting assembly from A. W. S. as a climax to Charm week. New T.K.K. Pledge Receive Their Pins Pledge pins were given to six girls, Thursday evening, January 29 at the home of Suzanne Hershberger, president of Tiki Kappa Kappa. Miss Hurshberger had charge of the pledging ceremony and was assisted by Mrs. Forest Griffin, sponsor, and vice president, Lola Smed-ley. The musical background was furnished by Lucille Campion. A pot-luck supper was served after the ceremony. The pledges are Jean Anne Wa-terstradt, Kathryn Richards, La Rue Russell, June Hodson, Pat Sibeen, and Marie Larson. Club Presents Orson Beesley In a spectacular last minute dash a telegram from Don Ameche, film star of Hollywood, will be handed to Dick Herrick, club president, at intermission during the Excelsior "Sweetheart Ball" tomorrow night. Inside the yellow envelope will be the names of "The Excelsior Sweetheart" and her two attendants as chosen by Mr. Ameche from the photographs of the seven girls picked by club members. At ten-thirty Friday night perhaps Norma Van Fleet, or Verla Bingham, or Josephine Foulger, or maybe Adele Hodgson, or Carol Smuin, or Jean Chamberlain, or Ardis Jeppson will become the "Sweetheart of Excelsior for 1942." To add to the pomp and ceremony attending the announcement Ross Hawkins Jack Crane ROSS & JACK Lunch and Dining Room 364 25th Street Air Conditioned Fountain Service OPEN ALL NIGHT OGDEN, UTAH of the beauty Orsen Beesley's "All American" band will present the Sweetheart song. This popular band will provide music for dancing during the evening. Admission to the last formal dance of the winter season at Weber Is $1.12 per couple. Tomorrow at eleven the Excelsior club will endeavor to repeat the success enjoyed bylast year's assembly. Carlyle Green, the director of this year's assembly, claims that it will be so good that posterity will call the program "The Last of the Mohicans" because it will make the scalp locks on the squaws of Otyokwa turn grton and drop off with envy. Glen Wright, In charge ol ballroom decorations for the dance reports "If you thought that last year's decorations were swell, you surely ought to see these because they've "All that and Heaven too."
