Known in the past as Charm week, it will be highlighted by fashion shows, lectures, a panel discussion, and will be capped by the traditional Preference ball. Kicking off the week of complete rejuvenation for Weber college coeds will be a Fashion show, sponsored by L. R. Samuels, Monday, Feb. 17, at 7:30 p. m in the Institute of Religion. It was noted in last year's show that the clothes modeled, though fashionable for the college girl, were way beyond the price range that the average coed could afford. That situation will be remedied by a show of attire suitable for any junior college budget. Tuesday afternoon will find the"" boys and girls of the school gath ered in the women's lounge for panel discussion on the college girl, her habits, behavior and personality.Climaxing the week of charm will be the "Powder Puff" annual Preference ball. The dance this year will be a dressy affair, with heels and hose the order of the day. Selection of your favorite male will go like this: 1. Monday, the tenth of February, a ballot box will be placed in the women's lounge. Preferance slips will be provided. 2. On the preferance slips each girl will write the name of three boys with whom she would like to attend the ball. If you are going steady designate so. 3. The ballots will be gathered every hour and Miss Welling, along with the officers of A. W. S. will act as a date bureau. The slips will be matched up. Selection of the Preferred Man will be determined by the number of times his name appears on the ballots. 4. The boy will be notified by the date bureau who he is going to escort to the dance. 5. Monday February 17 each boy who has received an invitation to the dance will go to the gym lobby and file his reply with the Date Bureau. If he refuses the first girl who asks him, he wil; not be allowed to attend the ba!'.. 6. Remember girls, this is yom-chance to go with that guy you've been dreaming about for the las': six weeks. It's first come, first served, so file your claim early! As for the boys, there is only one thing to say Never give a sucker an even break!

DIAL 2-7160 In reading the most recent issue of SIGNPOST my attention quite naturally focused on the dogrel entry entitled "Men." This particular philosophical gem after careful and deliberate defamation of male character in general, con cluded with the following nugget of profound (if fallacious) reflection: "Men God bless them THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT!" Lest this odious contention find even passive support among the gullible species (namely, the female animal), I find it ment to establish at least one personal instance which will serve to refute such folderal. During the recently concluded conflagration and immediately thereafter, I was privileged and I use the word in light of later developments to further the effort on foreign soil in the official capacity of "dogface." This information I reveal with absolutely no intention of inspiring reverence or awe, though admittedly on various cocasion the situation had some pretty awe-ful aspects (that's a joke, son). I merely state the fact as such and for the express reason that the remainder tf this discussion hinges so pointedly upon it. While in Europe, I found it not especially alien to the common cause to cultivate or otherwise partake of certain natural resources and raw materials which presented themselves. I speak, of course, in connection with Kraut frauleins, French mademoiselles, Highland lassies, and Swiss maidens. To avoid possible criticism, censure, or expulsion permit me to emphasize that such relations were of the most wholesome sort. Throughout my servitude as ambassador in khaki, I being by nature somewhat of an idealist and totally unversed in experience (or more accurately, a complete fool) consistently and persistently rallied to the defense of Stateside girls in the ever-raging battle of comparisons. With due regret, I am forced to admit my error and take this opportunity to make full and unconditional apologies to those comrades whose wisdom I disputed ana whose enmity I evoked by such unutter, unspeakable folly. Bitter experience has been my taskmaster.The point I am attempting to make in this hodgepodge of ver- Tiki-Alpha Rho Sleigh Rides Tiki Kapa Kapa and Alpha Rho Omega held a joint bobsled party in Huntsville Friday, January 24. After the sleigh ride, the group went to the Pine View Inn for chili, hamburgers, hot chocolate, and dancing. Annual frivolous initiation of pledges was held by Tiki Kapa Kapa January 30 at the home of pledge Joyce Murphy. The initiations featured a goat show by the pledges. Each pledge was required to go into the basement for a bit of psychological "hell" after surviving a secret walk with blindfolds over their eyes-. Highlight of the initiating ceremonies was the presenting of a lei to each pledge accompanied by a kiss from one of the college men who were present. Each member was presented with a gift from her little sister. Miss Helen Powell, club sponsor, was also presented with a gift. Also a feature of the evening was a candlelight dinner which was eaten on the floor in Hawiian style. Tiki Kapa Kapa pledges are: Ol-ga Degiorgio, Elaine Fowers, Roma Jean Hammond, Beulah Mae Holmes, Janet Hyde, Betty McFar-land, Avice Mathias, Joyce Murphy, Joy Parry, Lu Rue Peterson, Elaine Rouse, Margaret Smith, Josephine Swanner, and Dorothy Wines.

Social Dragnet Snares Weber Goats Queer scenes were enacted in the halls of Weber college Monday, Jan. 27. While snow drifted deep on the campus, night-gowned social club pledges sought out the darkness of the halls and classrooms. Long-feared "Hell Week" had caught them in its grasp and was dragging them into the clutches of the social dragnet. Other girls club pledges were dressed in flirtatious short dresses with bright red ribbons on long pigtails. Mens club pledges were seen with sexy legs showing below rolled-up trousers. Similar scenes were enacted Tuesday and Wednesday with dirty clothed male pledges, dressed as John L. Lewis proteges, carrying sacks of coal and various assortment of tools designed for heavy labor. Also noted were the Winter Wonderland pledges treking between classes on roller skates and sleds. Climaxing the , three-day frivolous initiations, clubs held individual ceremonies Wednesday night. Serious and final initiating ceremonies will be held during the last two weeks of the Winterquarter. Skull Reporter Outlines Club Activities An interesting sidelight about Skull club is the fact that it originated with thirteen members and this year when it once more became active on the campus there were thirteen members. The Skull club started the Winter quarter activities with a meeting of former and present members. Several of the original thirteen members attended. Among the alumni attending were. Elmer P. Boyle. William E. Murray, Glen Cherry. Les Gardiner, Eddie Hauseal, Marvin Hoggan. Jesse L. Jensen and Paul W. Mul-lar.SKULL'S came through with another success when they recently held a bowling party at the Ogden Bowling center. Two prizes were given. Ben McComb finally took home the first prize after it had been in the possession of Charles Fulmore and Jim Valentine at various times in the evening. Art Hol-loway was the winner of the boobey prize with a low of 54. Members began to wonder about his ability though when he collected 74 in the first three frames of the next game. The evening of fun concluded with the members instructing their "younger brothers" how to adorn themselves during Hell Week, the result of which was quite interesting. Some of the fellows really looked cute in their dresses. Norman Thompson looked more like a Scotchman in kilts than a girl. Many parties and get togethers are planned in the near future as the club feels that helping the school and having a good time are its main purposes. The traditional Skull Barn dance will be held on March 1st. The entire student body and all alumni are invited to attend. In years past the Skull Barn dance has always been one of the outstanding dances of the year. Rocky Miller. (KiMM ti IVY Wf nacular is simply this: Since returning to the oft professed land of milk and honey, I have been forced to conclude that while cows ars in actuality plentiful, the real "honies" are on the other side of that vast oceanic expanse. My one great regret in this sad awakening is the fact that I did not effect a permanent alliance with some desirable soul-mate while the golden opportunity were mine. And I do know what I want, but sadly enough, am unable to realize my own most heartfelt wishes. Submissively yours, . Belleau Vitriole.

For over a year inese iaas naa wisnea and hoped to make Anchorage their next stoo. fienired nn diimnino- t-hlr- texts on the C. I.'s counter shortly. t-ernaps the recent cold spell had something to do with it; or it may have been the rough assignments Weber's instructors were handing out. To put the finishing touches on their adventure chart, Alaska's note-worthy Development Company signaled the green light, hollered down to "come on up." From the tone of the A. D. C. there would be a surplus of jobs in all fields, urged college men to give it a try,' if even only for a few months this summer. Business opportunities for those who wanted the inside track were plentiful and would be available for the asking. The two would-be pioneers plugged for conections with one of Seattle's largest salmon firms thought they may secure an "expenses paid" proposition. This was in form of transportation up and back, board and room, supplemented with a come-on of a minimum of one-thousand for the three to four months thpv wnrlpH Trv any college man this looked like the gravy. If the Situation riirvihlo In Seattle with regard to going up on "expenses," it wouldn't bother the Wildcats much. The Alcan highway was open and in fairly good shape. They had obtained permission to unve enrougn rrom tne Canadian government last fall. . La Dianaeda to Be Host at Annual Friendship Fiesta Students View Hell Week Steering away from the "club issue" but somewhat in the same anemic vein, various opinions were expressed around Weber this week. One of Walt Nevilles prodigies chirped: "It is the sociological effort of the masses to assert their personality." In terms of the student this carried the faint tone that clubs used propaganda efforts of announcing that they were stil! a part of the college. This was the unique terms of "Hell Week." Opinions were varied, though the trend was turned backs of all this sophmoric exhibitionalism. Below are listed a cross-section of the bemuddled quirps. Veterans gawked, remembered last quarter, listed the high school attitude a salient feature, hoped that these kids would grow up. Non-affiliates harped that this sort of thing should be a private affair, carried on elsewhere, and disliked all this torn-foolery in the corridors of Weber. Some admitted they presumed that they supposed it was part of the clubs activity. Club, attitude was divided, members thought if carried out right, is would be successful, believed pledges would appreciate their organizations more fully. Others wished initiations would be carried out more in the old established traditional manner, eating weird conglomerations of food: chamber of horror stuff. As one would-be wolf put it: "Some of the costumes went too far, others, ha ha, not far enough." Fine Photography Eight years ago La Dianaeda's president. Florence Maine, went to Mrs. Clarisse Hall, the club advisor, and asked what could be done to banish the friction between gjrls clubs on Weber's campus. It was decided that La Dianaeda would hold a Friendship banquet to which all members of girls clubs would be invited. The banquet proved successful and pulled the girls clubs closely together in a bond of friendship. Each year since that time, the clubs have taken turns putting on the banquet, and after eight years the honor is again bestowed on its originator. La Dianaeda. This year the banquet will be held on Feb. 7. at 7.00 p. m., in the Hotel Ben Lomond. The theme of the evening will be "Centennial and Friendship." stressing our qualities, among them being friendship, inherited from our pioneer grand-parents. One of the many attractions of the evening will be the presentation of the "friendliest girl on the campus." This girl was chosen by popular vote among affiliated girls last week. She will be unknown, even to herself, until the night of the banquet. At the banquet she will be presented with a gift. Donna Smith will be the Toast Mistress of the evening, and will sit at the head table with the officers of La Dianaeda and their nine honored guests. Several committees have been set aside to plan the evening. They are: Invitations, headed by Pat Madsen; General Decorations, June Brewer; Table Decorations, La Rae Anderson; Program, Ertaluc Fer-nelius; Tickets, Helen Toliver; Program Booklet, Ruth Holmes, and Table Arrangements, Dorothy Peterson.
