Show Choral Group Gives Third Annual Event Glen L. Hansen's famous Symphonic choir presented its third annual concert at Ogden high school auditorium last Monday night. The polished group entertained the audience with semi-classical, Negro spiritual, and South American numbers. Perhaps one of the best liked was "Make Mine Country Style," a Fred Waring arrangement, accompanied by a violin quartette. During the second part of the program Miss Betty Peterson, Utah's representative to sing at Carnegie Hall in .the near future, sang an aria from the opera "The Barber of Seville." This difficult selection was sung exceptionally well. Piano accompanist for Miss Peterson was Glen L. Hansen. Comedian Bruce Wallace entertained the audience greatly with his highly humorous interpretation of "Old Mother Hubbard." Besides being comical, he sang vocal solo parts during various numbers. South America was the scene of the last part of the program. Don Jones along with his wife sang some popular Spanish songs, a-mong them "La Borachita" which tells of the little gypsy maiden. With their brightly colored sarapis the group made an impressive picture.According to Mr. Walter Aschen-brenner, famous song writer and arranger, the Ogden symphonic choir is undoubtedly the greatest in the West. Mr. Aschenbrenner assisted the group in a clinic in preparation for its first performance two years ago.

XDixon Tells Educators Weber Needs Weber college needs for expansion to serve its students more fully were explained to 25 district high school officials by Dr. Henry A. Dixon, W. C. president, Monday, February 9, at a college-sponsored conference. The meeting, attended by superintendents, assistants, principals, and deans of men and women from Box Elder, Weber, Davis, and Morgan county high schools, and from Ogden city high school, was held to determine Weber college goals in serving the high school graduates of the area. Needs Twice Floor Space Dr. Dixon called for double the floor space now available at the college, declaring that while the average for other schools in the state is 250 square feet per student, Weber averages only 134 feet. This condition exists, he said, despite the fact that Weber is 51.2 self-sustaining in contrast to the 35 of other Utah colleges. In addition, Weber must content itself with a $209 state appropriation per student per year, although average for other colleges is $250. Dr. Dixon stressed the need for more equal opportunities for higher education, and declared that second year college education should be provided free to citizens. He stated that college education should not be limited to the upper ten per cent of the population. Crucial Year Ahead The coming year, the Weber prexy avered, will be a "crucial" one for the school. It will provide a test to determine if the college can remain filled when many ex-service men leave the school. Trends seem to evidence that a greater number of high school graduates will replace the departing G. I. students, it was reported.

"Man's continued existence is contingent upon his willingness and ability to federate," Paul Thatcher, president of Utah's United World Federalists and prominent local attorney at law declared Monay. In a discourse scheduled March 3 at Weber college, Mr. Thatcher will consider the necessity for global solidarity and a world organization in securing a durable peace. His discussion is being sponsored free of charge by members of the International Relations club and will be presented in room 203, Annex 1 at 8 p. m. Reared and educated in Utah, Mr. Thatcher graduated in 1931 with an LLB from the School of Law at Utah University. During his 17 years of professional experience he has served as county attorney, juvenile judge, and practicing lawyer. His crusade as an outstanding World Federalist commenced with the inception of that organization in 1945 when he was selected to officiate at the Cleveland Conference in the capacity of chairman. As an active member of the National Executive Council he was instrumental in prompting the mergence of World Federalists, Americans United for World Government, and Student Federalists under a common authority termed United World Federalists. This move was effected February 22, 1947. He has since continued in his role with the National Executive Council. Among his important writing on affairs of international scope and importance was a letter published on August 5, 1945 by the New York Times in which Mr. Thatcher demonstrated the profound significance of the Nurnberg Trials. In pointing out the important distinction of holding individuals rather than communities or nations responsible to world courts for violating inter national law, Mr. Thatcher clearly anticipated a press release issued by America's Chief Counsel Robert H. Jackson which was issued some two weeks thereafter. In commenting upon the urgent need for world federation, Mr. Thatcher observed: "Political federation of our 'One World' community is the most practical task confronting mankind today because it is the most necessary. If history proves anything it is that durable peace does not and cannot endure independently of a good community. Modern developments in weapons of mass destruction guarantee that all our bright hopes and aspirations will be frustrated and eternally destroyed df we do not act and act now to establish peace.
