This principle is based on what Professor McMillan calls the "theory of phase stability." t will make it possible to march propjectiles around a circular orbit an indefinite number of limes, and they will always arrive at a given Doint in time to receive an electric push. Thus the tendency of atomic bullets being accelerated in cyclotron-to lag behind and arrive too 'ate to b pushed will be overcome, and (he particles will be speeded up to higher energies than ever before. Yale Begins Drive Russell L. Bradley, executive secretary of Yale University Alumni board revealed recently an increased interest on the nart of the University in the development of outstanding students and administrators in government and political science fields. Said Mr. Bradley, Yale considers itself a national university, and as such is seeking stu . dents possessing qualitics of outstanding leadership and scholarship. School principals are being asked to recommend outstanding students to Bartlett Wicks, alumni representative for Utah." He added that to enter Yale, candidates must qualify by nass. ing college board and aptitude examinations. According to Mr. Bradley. Yale enrollment today is 5,707 students, of whom 2,253 are war eterans. University of New Mexico students noted the week of April 1 is National Laugh week by list-ng influences that might or night not turn one to mirth: he first sight of grades, a sandstorm and not a skirted girl in sight, and moreover, all thirst-elieving bars of Albuquerque closed up tight for the day because of a city election. Would Use Athletes Mourning certain wartime base spots that had appeared on the campus lawns, where lawns still existed, collections of waste paper and other debris, the U N M Lobo asked. "We have quite a number of athletic scholarships on the campus; why not put some of them to work?" Woman Haters Week A movement is reportedly on at Weber college to counteract charm week, a local phenomenon designed to wow all and Sundry through upping feminine attractions, by introducing Wo ma Hating week. New B Y V Magazine B Y U Students are publishing a new. humor magazine, yclept the Buffoon. Rules governing a joke contest promoted by staff members suggest that the wisecracks be fit to publish. It would seem the mag is doomed to failure from the outset. By the way, one of the more; interesting jokes had to ro with a couple of veterans' wives struggling with the problem of late hours. Said wife one: "How did you break Tom of staying out all night?" Replied wife two: I called out. "Is that you. Bill?" "He came in at 10 p. m. once and Brotherhood Stressed "Be Brothers or Else" might well , be the slogan of mankind in the atomic age, Dr. A. Ray Olpin. president of the University of Utah, told delegates of Intercollegiate Knights from 10 western universities, who opened a three-day meeting last week at the University of Utah. Veterans ToM Emergency I Medical Procedure Procedures to be followed n the handling of emergency medical cases involving veterans in communities ot served by a Vet. were announced this week by crans Administration facility Dr. Charles F. Bayer, director of medical services for VA's branch 13 area serving Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico and six countics in West Texas. The Veterans Administration will accept "collect" telephom calls to the nearest VA office when physicians wish io ascertain whether they may be paid by VA for emergency treatments given veterans. The :-eg. ulations require the following conditions be met: The treatment must be an I emergency case; no Veterans Administration medical i'aeilities are available in which to treat the veteran, and the ailment must be a service-connected disability. The only exception o these requirments is an emergency requiring treatment before a determination is made of service-connected disability. Under existing regulations, payments are made by VA only lor service-connected disabilities. If investigation develops the emergency arose from a non service connected disability, the be responsible for treatments Veterans Administration will not given after this determination has been made but will reimburse the physician for all services rendered up to the time of the determination. Doors Close On the enrollment front, Santa Monica City college reportedly closed its doors to additional signers when the total reached 1137 students. President Henry Aldous Dixon has repcrted tha: in the East veterans are being turned away from universities and colleges. Scholastic Slump t At the Branch Agricultural college, Cedar City, an editorial bewails the "presenl slump in scholarship." The comment, ob viously intended to cause a reas onable lust after learning losses out such epithets as "social butterflies,'' and speaks testily cf "Students among us who toil no' and care not." It seems by i.hr bilious air expressed here '.vac a school at one time with stu. dents who cracked books. Vets Enroll On December 1, there was an overall veteran enrollment in .lie country cf 125,000 which may soar to 600,000 by next fall. I' was originally thought that 2,-000,000 GIs might return as students on some level of education college or otherwise but now Dr. Francis J. Brown American Council of Education, doubles that estimate. What this adds up to is a testing time for American schools such as they have never experienced a tremendous piling up of demand against their limited plant and teaching resurces. The adjustment will be hard, but no one will begrudge the veteran the opportunities for continued education which he has siezed upon sr eagerly. College EN or Where Are Yon Going To Work This Summer?

Young Burchell was the regular fullback of the Og-den high team last autumn. His kicking and general scrimmage tactics caused favorable comarison with back-field players throughout the state during the 1945 season. In baseball, he starred back of the plate. The Tiger team won second place in "The Big Seven" playoffs re-cenly.Two weeks ago, he won the shot put with a heave of 46 feet si inches in the state high school track and field competition. Weber Track Squad Makes Good Showing Weber tiacksters participated in only two competitions iiiis spring, but made good showings in both, placing third in the con feren.ee meet held at Provo. May 10. At both meets Dick Williams took first place in the low hurd les even. At the conference meet Eldon Malmrose caotured hig hhonors in pole vault, and Ralph Crawford, Bob Putnam, Dave Overstreet, Bob Murray, .Russel Thorpe, James Farr, Lloyd Thompson and Don Eg-gington placed in track and field events. In the 100 and 220 Thome was barely nosed out by Milne, who was pushed to the limit all the way. In 'the sprint relay only a bad break kept the Weberites from winning the event and second place in the meet. As it was, Mesa topped them by only one-helf point. "At the beginning of the season," explained Coach Losee. "it was doubtful if would even have a track squad. There was a small turnout due to spring foot ball, and then, as usual, we had no place to practice. But the men came through in fine style. Most of them will be back next year, and Weber should really go places in track then." Students GIRLS r i Letters To I The Editor I Dear Editor, i In the past issues, the Sign post lias printed letters from students who squaked about the lack of publications here at We- i ber. I should like to answer some of those letters and mention some cf the reasons why our I publications are not what they ! once were. Four good reasons off hand i arc: Student interest is lackng, Student ability is not of the quality that it was, for at least it has not shown itself to those who have power to authorize the resumption of certain publications: Printing facilities are not what they should be, and lastly, the point on which I wish to dwell, funds are lacking. On this last point, the one in which I am primarily interested at present, I have a few sug- " ii i ni,i ni ii 'iiii'Hiatii.iLi m . ! iiii ' i .'."i , - r tiith II iif mm iii 1 1 niii'TnnrimnTr-'irnii'i HiiwifiTniiMrTTrmmiirtniinnTrn m i 1 t inlBBLnri $ I I I mm mW mm mm mm mm m w w r U .

His argument makes sense. He feels that he is net advertising at all but merely making a gesture. With this altitude going around it will not be easy to hold advertisers. Since the advertisers pay the cost of publication, it is necessary to have them want to place ads with us. One way the students and the faculty can help, is to glance at the ads at least and see which concerns are contributing. Then whenever possible, threw your business their way. Also the fact that you saw their ad in the Signpost might be worth mentioning.We can have a better Signpost. We can have other publications and they can be as fine as we want to make them, but the support of the students and faculty-is needed. R. H. O. Mr. Editor, This is an article that should have been published a long time ago and put in every paper since then to impress upon the students of Weber college o mind their own business. Take care of yourself and give everyone the same privilege. Remember at high school how someone would dream up some story or idea and soon it would be all over the school greatly-enlarged. We go to college now and should at least try to act grown, up. But apparently some people think they are still IP high school. Some people see a fellow with the same girl a few times and soon it goes around that they are madly in love with each other or are soon, to be engaged. Maybe they are and maybe thev ! aren't but whose business is t i besides the people involved. If : they never see them with the same person twice that still causes talk. It seems like yon can't win no matter how hard you try. There is no basis for it what so ever. All they are doing is judging other people by themselves. Nevertheless no matter what the circumstances are let the couple worry about it. If you do have to think take a inventory of yourself before your tongue gets away from you and stop making mountains out of mole hills. ! What do you say we all keep our own, doorstep clean and don't ! worry about anyone eles. And don't forget MIND YOUR OWN ; BUSINESS. D. G.
