Show Page 2 SIGNPOST October 28, 19G0 EDITORIAL Campus Code Is Violated There are times during the course of any college year when it may become necessary to call attention to certain standards that all of us ought never to forget but sometimes do! We refer to the immature and heedless painting last Sunday night of the Louis F. Moench statue north of Building One. It reflects not only a gross ignorance of the code of campus behavior but also represents a real material loss to the school. Respected Man As to the first, Professor Moench was one of the most respected and revered men this state has ever produced. It is almost unthinkable that anyone would desecrate the memory of the man responsible perhaps more than any other single person for the founding of Weber College. In education circles even during his own lifetime, he symbolized that kind of complete dedication to learning rare in any age. Statue Is Costly As to the second, the statue itself, made of costly Italian marble, has probably been permanently damaged. The vandals used an oil-base paint which, by permeating the pores of the marble may never come entirely off. Since the instigators are, so far, unapprehended, we like to think it was the work of outsiders. We sincerely hope it was. If it turns out we are wrong we should like to take this opportunity to do what the vast majority of Weber College students would want us to do and that is to apologize publicly, to members of Professor Moench's family. There is one irony in all this we can't help noting. On the pedestal of the statue are these words of Professor Moench: "I will seek to lay a true foundation in the hearts of the pupils upon which they may build their education." Bench Will Head Sophomore Nurses By DeAnn Didericksen Nurses Reporter With the new school year bare-' ly a few weeks old, the Weber College nurses are already well embarked on their program for the year. President of this year'shard-at-work sophomore class is Kathryn Bench. Other officers are Evelyn Yamaguchi, vice president; Kan-dis Co burn, secretary; Judy Stakes, treasurer; DeAnn Dider-ickson, publicity manager; and Kayleen Randall, sports director. These new officers have already completed their first project for the year which was a get-acquainted party for new freshmen nurses. The freshmen were welcomed, Oct. 13, at the Temporary Union Building. There was a program, games, and refreshments. Student nurses and nursing instructors seemed to have an enjoyable time. Freshman Sisters Each sophomore has two freshmen sisters to whom they will offer assistance during the coming A: II; iilllSSliK I :M Jackson Assumes Treasurer Post He has blond hair, brown eyes, and stands about six feet, two. He is a member ofthe LDS Church and is employed part-time by the Union Pacific Railroad. Among his hobbies would be listed water-skiing, deer hunting, and his stero collection. At Ben Lomond High School, he served his senior class as president. When he came to Weber College, he decided on an electrical engineer major and on membership into Excelsior Men's Club. He maintains a high grade point. Who is he? Of course, it's our newly elected student body treasurer, Gary Jackson. Letter to the Editor Weber Lacks Wrestling Team Dear Editor: My name is Akdar Nourmanesh. I am a foreign student from Iran. The reason I am writing this article is a group of students would like to have some arrangements made to practice the are of wrestl ing. It seems strange to me that a college this size does not have a wrestling team or, at least, a class to teach the basic fundamentals. I had many plans about this sport before I came to Weber College, and now I find that this college does not have a wrestling team. I think that a college which doesn't have a team that could compete with the other colleges is like a nice hand without a finger. Wrestling is a sport that can help other sports, and keep every sportsman in good shape. I would like to be in charge of wrestling and use my seven years experience to make a team for the school. We would appreciate it if the school would do something about it. Thank You! year. This project helps the freshmen and sophomores to become better acquainted. The sophomore officers are planning several money-making projects which they will carry out throughout this school year. The money from these projects will be used to send a Weber College representative to . the National Nurses Convention later on this year. There are now 45 freshmen and 23 sophomore nurses enrolled in the Weber College Nursing Pro gram. These students are looking forward to a lot oi iun ana 01-course, a lot of hard work this coming year. SIGNPOSTiNGS Here's Your Copy Of The 1 Halloween Handybook' It's time to re-run "I Was a Teenage Werewolf." . . . It's HALLOWEEN again! Of course if horror is really your dish, I recommend "Frankenstein Meets Dracula's Daughter at the House of Usher." (And they really have a blast.) I don't have to wait until Halloween to get scared stiff. Every time I take a test, it does the trick. Especially for your convenience I prepared this "Halloween Handy-book" which should tide you over on Oct. 31. Spook: Someone who has stayed under the Cosmetology hair dryer too long.

Jack O' Lantern: Jack Minnoch lit up. Skeleton in the Closet: What you would find in the Physiology Lab. I hear that almost everyone is holding a costume party this weekend. My spies have let me know in advance what the "parties" will be wearing. Dr. Stratford is coming, as a smile. Dave Dankers, Mike Files, Carl Creer are coming as Rub-A-Dub- Dub . . . Three Men in the Tub. Norm Branmble is coming as an Organ Grinder because he hars that people throw money.

No Cavities" 'Great Pumpkin Appears Tonight By Norm Bramble Signpost Associate Editor Tonight is the night when the Great Pumkin rises from the pumpkin patch with his bag of toys for all the kiddies who have behaved themselves since last Halloween. Although AWS officers Karen Zaugg, Kaye McGarry, and Elizabeth Peterson have not made it generally known, they have con- . fided to me ' in private- that the Great Pumpink will appear as a special attraction at intermission at the Jack-O-Lantern Jubillie. Also on the same program will be appearing Linus and his blanket. Moral Support It was a source of moral support during these days of preelection frensy to discover that along with myself and Eleanor Roosevelt, Allen Goodell is a faith-fan of Adlai Stevenson. The first half of the Handy-book came out this week with the following statement by editors Evonna Oyler and Sherma Topping: "The Signpost office is located in the TUB between the coke and apple machines." I can say one thing for this description and that is it is accurate. Did you know that Brenda Nes-sosis holds the world's record for speed speaking and also a national championship in circulocution, and that Steve Woods hates people?In closing let it be remembered that this is moral rearmament week; observe it when and where you can. |
