Show ONE QUINN'S OPINION FROM THE EDITOR Signpost Hopes To Stay Neutral t Pity the poor sergeant who stands between the officers on one side and the enlisted men on the other. As an NCO, his plight is to satisfy his superiors while pacifying his subordinates.If he's not rough on the doggies then the officers hate him and if he rants and raves at the EM's while carrying out orders, then he's a . . . ! ! ! This is the situation of the Signpost. On one side the student proletariate is screaming for more humor, farce and entertainment while at the other extreme the Bourgeoise Faculty requires extensive coverage of such things as lectures and field trips. With this in mind, the Signpost intends to strike a happy medium. A middle-of-the-road policy will be initiated to serve a two-fold purpose : Promoting sufficient news reporting, while at the same time providing ample space for entertaining items. Undoubtedly a few, or perhaps many, will claim that we are accomplishing neither, but under the circumstances not everyone can be satisfied. Awards Assembly Benefits VC On May 17, an Awards Assembly will be presented. This assembly, which promotes school participation more than any other single event, will honor some 100 outstanding students.Students who have achieved in all fields from physics to athletics will receive recognition and scholarships. Students who are chosen have been under the eyes of an awards committee all year. Headed by Clair Anderson this committee has studied the background of each student suggested to the group, including not only scholastic ability, but also general citizenship. Perhaps if Weber had more ways of recognizing the ambitious person, we would have a school recognized for its progressive ways. As it is, there's much more pride in being a party boy (more fun too). Though there is nothing wrong with having a school renowned for its good Joes, there is a damn nice atmosphere around when you can say we're tops in athletics, scholarship and plain progressiveness. Not that Weber is backward, we're not. But we are stuck in a rut, because people who have a great potential are sidetracked by the lack of recognition. Anyway, we think the assembly is a good idea.

Malcontent Slices, Bites, Chews and Spits Out Joan of Lorraine Play By Tom Quinn As this column was written a couple of days ago, I don't know what the audience's reaction to last night's performance of Joan of Lorraine was, but it is certainly food for thought. So if you readers will step into my stomach you will get an intimate portrait of my digestive system as I chew on it for a while. To start with, the audience enters the auditoi-ium to find the curtains open and the stage bare of scenery. This shamelessly naked condition exists throughout the entire performance with few exceptions, and probably gave rise to a number of wives poking their husbands and hissing, "You idiot! Don't you ever look at the dates on those tickets? We're obviously a week too early." Maybe others wondered if they were witnessing the presentation of some poverty stricken players group, too pressed for cash to properly outfit the show. But actually it can all be explained by saying the play is somewhat unique possibly wierd would be a better word.i Joan of Lorraine is really a play within a play, and for clarity's sake, they will be hereafter designated plot 1 and plot 2. Plot 1 deals with a group of actors who are rehearsing the play, Joan of Lorraine, and has as its crux the clash of opinions and values of the girl who plays Joan against those of the director. To add to the confusion, there are two Joans. Plot 2 is the traditional story of the half-baked cookie from the country who conies to the hot-bed court of the Dauphin where several crumbs are willing to eat her up for the sake of the dough. Following an attempt to save France from the English, she is captured by them and ends up done to a turn because of her crust. H.E.D. Redford, who in reality directs the play, also plays the AH 10 In. 33 IP's now reduced to $1.98 Values to $3.98 WHILE THEY LAST!

The musical groups gave such a fine performance last week. This has been a great year or both of us. Thanks for your Co-operation HEBER JACOBS SERVICE 3605 HARRISON BLVD. ONE BLOCK OFF CAMPUS "THE LITTLE MAN WITH THE OIL CAN" part of the director in plot 1 of plot 2. He sits in the audience most of the time and has all the privileges of that position he can cough, sneeze, and rattle his program as loudy as the paying clientele but with one disadvantage he can't get his money back if he doesn't like the show. You'll be able to follow his progress through the audience by cries of, "Get off my toe, you oaf." and, "Sir, are you trying to molest my wife?" He isn't' the only one who wanders about. There is such a steady stream of actors shuffling in ana out the doors that you'll probably wonder if there isn't a steady stream somewhere else, also. It's bothered me no end, worrying what would happen if one of them could not get back in without a ticket. Well, enough of this stomach rumbling. I recommend the show to everyone, and trust you will find it as entertaining as it is disconcerting. Fortify yom-self with the thought that if I the boy who can't button himself up without detailed instruction can understand it, so can you. Yes, go see the play and don't be surprised if you see me onstage a few buttons short.
