At this Board meeting and at ,a recent regional meeting of the Utah Chapter of N. S. A., the question was raised: Is Weber getting its money's worth out of N.S.A.? Perhaps if more students reflected upon the true nature of the National Student Association, this question would be less frequent. Students Represented Practically every nation on earth has a national student congress in one form or another. The United States and the American college student is represented in international student relations by N.S.A. Congress has recognized the Association, not as a lobbyist group, but as a symposium of the opinions of American college students. The association has also done extensive work in the fields of student travel and local student government problems. In view of the great significance of the objectives and functions of the N.S.A. and the 400 colleges and universities belonging to the association, it would be better for us to ask the question: "What can we do for N.S.A.?" When we find the answer to this question, we will be on our way toward fulfilling our obligations on the national and international scene, and meantime we may discover that we are v "getting our money's worth from N.S.A."

WILDCAT'S WEEK it There'll Be Evil Doings At The Malefic By Norman Bramble Signpost Associate Editor After five straight days of turkey sandwiches I, along with the other brown-baggers will be glad to see the return of the baloney and tuna fish sandwiches. Kent Pantone and Gary Mad'sen tell me that Sin is In at the annual 'night of evil doing' tonight at the Malefic. What happened Gary? did you bolt the Theocratic party? Speiaking of politics, in the recent Signpost poll, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Tuesday Weld, and Eleanor Roosevelt each received one write in vote for first lady. Alan GoodeJ didn't receive any, but then he doesn't believe in mixing church and state. New Speech Major Georgia Ann Mitchell wants everyone to know that she has recently changed her major to speech. Marilyn 'Scoobie" Stephens was sporting a diamond last week which she picked up at the dime store. That hot game of Old Maid .went into its sixth marathon week in the TUB. As it stood when the Signpost went to bed, Jerry Lynch was stuck with the Old Maid while Roger Wood, Steve Porter, and Mike Green were going down on board with their last pair. Beauty Queen Congratulations to Ann Frand-ssn, a brand new squaw, and to Sue Dickson, a sophomore Sharmea girl, who both were in the finals at the Utah State Dairy Princess contest. Also in attendance at the milk show were seven and a half members of Phoenix. (They heard drinks were going to be on the house.) ' Thought of the week: Hark! Hark! Go see the Lark. By Eloise McQuown You asked for it "researchers". Here it is - - my scholarly discussion on "Excessful Sexpository Writing". Step 1: Students must choose Subjects he is extremely interested in. 1. Opposite Sex 2. How to "wangle an angle" with teachers. 3. How to get bigger and better Christmas presents. 4. Who's wearing whose pinn. 5. Techniques for cheating on finals. 6. Money! Money! Money! 7. Why Weber's Cat is Wild. Step 2: Make Tentative Analysis (I know a girl who is so stupid she things a tenative analysis is a new remedy for upset stomach) If at this point you find your subject too broad, don't cut it down . . . . cut it out! Step 3: Make Cards On Subject if done skillfully, these cards can double for poker cards at the Tub. When this task "bugs", 'you, pick a large table and stack blank cards in front of you. (at least 15 piles) This gives a great sense or accomplishment ' Step 4: Prepare Outline Keep outline in line. Do not exceed 75 pages of typewritten material. Impress teacher with your bold Roman Numerals, (even if nothing else makes sense). Step 5: Prepare Rough Draft. (This has nothing to do with Uncle W. C. Debaters Win Three At Oregon Meet' Two Weber College debate teams each won three out of five debates in a tournament last week in competition against fifty two other western schools. These two debate teams consisted of Eileen Grix and Ann Moesinger; Ken Gardner and Douglas Marker. Their debating was done at the Western Association of Teachers of Speech tournament at Corvallis, Oregon on the 24th, 25th and 26th of November. One of their wins was over Leland Stanford University. Oburn In Finals Corey Oburn took part in the finals in oratory speaking, , and Eileen Grix participated in the semi-finals in extemporaneous speaking. Ten states were represented by these fifty two schools. Among these schools were Brigham Young University, University of Utah, Utah State University and University of Southern California. On December 8th, 9th and 10th, a group of debators from Weber are going to winfield Kansas to participate in a tournament there. They will meet schools from Illinois, Michigan, Texas and Kansas. Sam.) Anything goes here: pad material with old history notes . . telephone numbers (for bachelor teachers) . . . favorite receipts . . school song, it's quantity not quality that counts. Step 6: Stall for awhile Admire campus . . . Clean lccker . . . go shopping . . . Discover old friends. Step 7: Say 'good-bye, to the outside world . . . Dig in and write Finished Paper This is your chance to show that your brilliant, intelligent, scholarly sagacious, sapient, spastic. If desperate, erase smudges from rough draft and resubmit. Remember footnotes and be sure and give yourself enough credit. I don't recommend the following as standard procedure, but one of my friends received an A because he had his Research Paper "gift-wrapped".Step 8: Prepare Bibliography Your source material should include "Mad Magazine" and "True Confessions. " List names of friends to give them added prestige. Last Word: Be guilty of Plagiarism .... Why wrack your brain for ideas when others can say it better than you ajiyway.
