Show Page 4 SIGNPOST October 31, 1932 Weber Clwbs Climax Activities tfor Fail Is Sufficient Enrollment Assured? Is sufficient enrollment assured to guarantee efficient economy? It is true that many colleges have failed and many are now slated for failure because ot expansion which was done . only financially and materially not personally. Is Weber's slate docked for the same rate? facts and logic say no. The proposed 4-year Weber is larger in enrollment than! 48 of the 4-vear colleges in the surrounding states. The median enrollment of America's 1854 colleges is; 409 students. Weber's enrollment is already over 1600.; Surveys and studies conclude that the s.ze of a college; to operate financially sound on a 4-year basis should be! between 1200 and 5000 students with either extreme li-nancially unsound. Census surveys point to Utah's population increase as I eighth in the nation showing need for planning of increased educational facilities. Within 25 miles of Weber College are 18.51 of Utah's; population or 136,22o people, 12 in Weber County. Two counties, Weber and Davis, Within the Ogden area are two of the three top counties in the state showing the; greatest population growth since ly40. Some 1499 new pupils or 35.6 of the total state increase, entered school in the Odgen area last year. Logical estimates show a 71.5 increase in school enrollment in the area by 1960. The need for expanded schooling, was forseen by thej government as they allocated $725,000 for Ogden City and j Weber County schools tor expansion. The eventual education of this increased number of students in this area will be done at Weber College, but only if Weber can supply that education. A tremendous demand for Iabo in Ogden has attracted! hundreds of college students into temporary routine jobs because ot the lack ot finances to go away to school and; because of the lack of upper division work at home. Opportunity for part-time work in Ogden is better than! any ot the college areas. This economic reasoning is difficult, ineffective and; asinine to argue against. ..Surely doubt cannot survive under the empact of such enrollment increases and eco-i nomic soundness in other details. Final editorial is on page 5 answering America's whole! philosophy ot education: Is expansion of education an; expendature or an investment? simple and smart in supple suede You're correctly in style in this plain toe pattern built of fine "Frontier Buck" leather.

D. Offering their support toward making Weber a four year college are all LaDianeda girls. Proof is shown as they near the completion of their float entry for the Homecoming parade under the theme "A Four Year Weber." Carolyn Harmer, Millie Hipwell, and Jann Heiner acted as co-chairmen in directing this activity. Great enthusiasm fills the air and hard work busies the hands as L. D. prepares for their annual second rush party. This traditional affair is slated for an early date in November and promises to be a night of enjoyment and delight.L. D. extends congratulations to all social clubs who have given such clever, successful parties. Congratulations to winners of Freshman class elections. LaDianeda will be rooting for you in full force tonight, team. Good luck . . . Weber beat Ricks!! A successful stag party was held last week when L. D. girls gathered at W.C. for a gay time. rx 'i Shcirmea "Flight to Shanghi," the theme of Sharmea's second rush party, was held on Saturday, October 18. Forty-three rushees were ushered into the mysterious realm of Cathay by an ancient gong and honorable club members, dressed in the latest Oriental fashion. There, they were transformed into something resembling Chinese girls when they were presented with hats, fans, lanterns, rice and other various articles of the Orient. Maneuvering chop sticks while eating chow mein was the source of many laughs and only added to the good time enjoyed by all. Phoenix Wouldn't you know that only those Phoenix characters could Freshman class at Weber this year is led by the newly elected Joan Hennefer, representative, Morris Lee, representative, Carolyn Frost, vice-president, Bob Francis, president, and Sally Bunderson, Secretary. meditate and come up with the idea "Ghost Town" for the theme of their second rush party? Well, they've done it again, and what with the limitless ideas usable for decorations, and the mysterious atmosphere of the "Old Mill," this second rush is bound to be a "howling success." It is to be a date affair, with a program, lots of good food, and dancing, so you fellow rushees had better be getting that best gal all lined up for a date! It has also been announced by the Phoenix officers that the "Snowball," is to be held on December 19, in the college ballroom. Alpha Rho It has been announced by the Alpha Rho officers that their Fourth Annual Smoker, though still in the planning stage, is to be the "biggest and bestest,'" ever. We'll be looking forward to great things from you, Alpha Rho. And the plans for their second big rush party are so hush-hush that your Signpost reporter could find out nothing so far as the when, why, where, and how were concerned. (Oh well, we did our durndest??) A.W.S. Annual Freshman Tea was held Wednesday, October 15th. All Freshman girls were invited and the Sophomore girls acted as hostesses. In the reception line were Karen Blair, Beverly Graves, Mildred Wayment, Norma Lichfield, Jean Crawshaw, and Mae Welling, Dean of Women. The Tea, sponsored by A.W.S. , was regarded to have been the most successful one in years. All Sophomore girls donned their prettiest formals for the occasion, and the Freshman girls were introduced to each person in the reception line. Light refreshments of punch, cookies, and ice cream were served, also. Otyokwa By now the Otyokwa squaws have gotten into the swing of College life and can be found presumably busy. Norma Lichfield lias devoted this quarter to having an affair. Georga Bobolis is trying again for the title of "Horse of the year." (And fnmkly we think she'll make it). We do not see much of Carol Lee Anderson since she is spending so much of her time copying recipes for cake icing from Phoenix's cook book and by the way, Darhle Poulter is on the loose agai Darhle Poulter is on the loose again, since Lee won't be home for four years; and the phone number is 2-8631.
