Hurst Simmons New Editors Eye Greater '48 All-American Acorn Plans for a "ereater Acorn for a greater Weber college" are already being formulated by 1947-48 Acorn co-editors, Carol Jean Vendell and Dean Hurst. Selection ot the pair or editors was announced last week by Helen Mally, faculty sponsor and advisor of the Weber college annual, who also said that Loyal West will assume the duties of photographic editor for next year's publication. 4 - Mally stated that the tneme ior the publication has already been formulated, but will be vaulted behind an iron curtain until the publication is released next spring. She said that spring activities pictures for next year's Acorn are already being taken and will constitute a unique feature of the book inasmuch as these activities usually occur too late in the year to be available for printer deadlines. All-American Editors and staff members will try to hit the top when they join the National Scholastic Press Association and will hope for an All-American publication, Mally declared. The last time the Acorn won the top rating was in 1942, she said. Staff members are already contacting printers and arranging for contracts. Mally declared that next year's staff will include the best talent in the area, with staff members being drawn from Ogden and Weber high schools, together with many of the best writers and makeup personnel of Weber college who will return to the college next year. "We have lots of plans and big ambitions," she said, "and we are already hard at work in an effort to make the greatest Acorn ever seen at Weber." Editors Qualified Dean Hurst, co-editor, has been art editor of this year's Acorn which will appear on the campus soon, Mally stated. His experience with the publication this year and his wealth of ideas make him well qualified for the editorial position, she said. Literary compositions by Carol Jean Vendell have appeared regularly in Scribulus, college literary magazine, and she has done a great deal of notable art work for AWS and Otyokwa this year, Mally declared.The faculty sponsor, an English instructor at the college, is a graduate of Stanford university and was associate editor of the All-American 1942 Acorn. Loyal West, slated for the photo, graphic editorship, has been photographer ex-officio for all publications on the campus this year, and is well acquainted with photographic techniques, Mally said. Select Business Manager A business. manager has not yet been selected, but will be appointed soon by Talmage Y. DeLange, faculty business advisor, and the Weber college board of control. Any Weber student interested In a staff position on the Acorn next year shoud contact either of the editors or the faculty advisor. Tunks, Simmons to Manage Signpost Coinciding with the announcement that the Signpost, college newspaper, will become a weekly paper for the coming school year; L. C. Evans, of the English department and adviser of the paper, revealed that the position of editor will be handled by Phil Tunks. while the business manager's of. fice wil be conducted by Don Simmons.The announcement that the paper will go to weekly publication in 4 or 6 page tabloid size was made after extensive investigation by the current Signpost editorial and business advisers along with staff members. It was decided that the phenomenal growth of the college merited a weekly in place of a bi-weekly and that increased advertising revenue and linage would compensate, in part, for the additional cost. Claims for the additional publication and its justification were made after citing examples of other schools with similar enrollment which poses weekly papers. Although the project hinges on the approval of the new board of control, staff members are confident that the budget enabling the Signpost to go to weekly publication will be okayed by the board of control after careful consideration of the necessity of the project. Phil, who will assume the duties of editor at the beginning of the fall quarter, has acted as Signpost news co-editor for the past year, and as chairman of the student body publicity committee. He has attended Weber college for the past year on a scholarship from the publicity office given him for his work as student publicity representative for the local press and was student manager of the Founder's day publicitycommittee. German Class Party The German class party, sponsored by Miss Jeanette Morrell, instructor, was given last Tuesday evening in the L. D. S. institute at Weber college. Students with their partners par. ticipated in a variety of games outlined by the party committee. Music was available for dancing while unusual refreshments of both German and American style were served. Filing the business manager's shoes with a wealth of experience in related fields will be Don Simmons, business major and current assistant business manager of the paper. In addition to this work in the business department of Signpost, Simmons has acted as news, coeditor for the past year, and has been active in all student publication work, including Acorn. Don hails from Mantl, Utah, and contemplates a very busy year with the increased work necessary in soliciting advertisements and keeping the budget in order. Mr. Tunks and Mr. Simmons have the folowing things to say about the Signpost for the coming year: "It is the prime duty of a college newspaper to give vent to a liberal approach on collegiate life, it is the duty of a college) newspaper to act as a fair-minded organ of student opinion and it is the duty of a college newspaper to gather the news accurately, fairly and quickly for the benefit of all the student body all the time. W believe that regardless of the controversy that Signpost has been involved in during the past year, the differences encountered can be remedied by giving a liberal approach to them by all parties concerned. In 47-48 the Signpost will continue its and the schools tradition of liberality, gain its status as a most democratic paper and continue to plug for a greater Weber, for Weber and for Weber's students."
