College Prof Leads a Quiet Life By Dolores Moon When I interviewed James Harvey for this story 1 made him a solemn promise to rewrite the story he had put down on paper. But after reading over the manuscript I find that there is nothing I could say or add that could make the feature more interesting. Before Imparting to you his story in his own words let me say that anyone has not enjoyed an ftour of psychology with Mr. Harvey has missed something. Remember the time you told us, Mr. Harvey, about hanging out of the window in the Men's Dorm at Columbia university with a telescope In your hand and watching the nurses across the way. But, of course, those were the good old days. As I said before, here is his story: "I was born to honorable parents on Thanksgiving day In the quiet village of Kaysvllle, Utah. At the time they had atemporary thankfulness for their new son. Little did they know that I was later to spend time at a maternity hospital, a mental hospital, a state penitentiary, a marriage clinic and a vocational center where the unemployed frequented. It Is true that they did what they could for me by having my church keep a weather eye on me, even In a foreign land. "There are few things in the church that I haven't made an at tempt at, having tried to guide for mal education of its youth for over a decade. My present ecclesiastical rating is that of B. S. C. (Bishop second class). " My pursuit of an education and my church have led me into strange experiences of which I am very grateful. They account for the above experiences, which are field courses for advanced schools. T have educational ambitions, which places me in the position of a student for a time yet. Having earned two degrees, I am looking toward another which I hope is not too far distant. "I am happily married and have one acceptable trait. I think it is that I like all people and desire them to like me. Life is so full of interesting people and things. We have a knocker on our front door use it some time!" In conclusion let me say, "An apple for an A, Mr. Harvey!" Alpha Rho Party Alpha Rho held a "Rooster Party at the Municipal Golf Course club house the night of February 7th. Wesley Hodgeman, the original founder and president of the club gave a short informal talk on the club history. A number of films on basketball and football were shown to the members along with a light serve yourself lunch. Under the general heading, "Sex, a Weber college English student last week placed (1) Men, (2) Women, (3) Children." Club Reporter Says Excelsior Matures The initiation period for the pledges of Excelsior was brought to a close Feb. 8th, at the canyon cabins of Lowell and Win Rich ards when frivolous was fiven to all the pledges. The Excelsior club met at the college and left in a group for the canyon. Instead of finding the ruthless members waiting to beat the pledges to death and stuff them ful of ghastly food, the pledges upon their arival found the members peacefully playing poker and invited them in for hamburgers, hot dogs, bottles of chocolate milk. Frivolous turned out to be an enjoyable all-night slumber party. The next morning hotcakes were served before a large number of members and pledges, skiingfollowed. Appreciation on the part of the pledges was expressed by Rulon Garfield who said. "The club cer tainly means a lot more to me now than it would have if we had been beat and fed." Four new pledges were brought into the club prior to the close of initiation: Doug Moore, Gary Gour ley, Harry Ryan, and Jack Felt. Excelsior was noticed on the campus during Hell Week for re straining from the high school ini tiation that took place. The only form of initiation the pledges par ticipated in during Hel Week was the wearing of suits on one day. Excelsior members feel that this sort of initiation and frivolous that they held is certainly more representative of college students. Selection of the "Hayseed King" and the "Calico Queen" will highlight "Calico Capers," annual barn dance to be held March 1 in the Weber college ballroom.

Phyllis Swaner Is Sweetheart Climaxing an eventful day, love ly Phyliss Swaner was chosen Ex celsior Sweetheart for '47 during the intermission of the Sweetheart ball, held last Friday in the college ballroom. The large crowd that filled the ballroom was tense as President Jim Blair read the letter from Alan Ladd announcing his choice.

Special Rates to Clubs or Groups on Parties INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES i . t G-Items The veterans office is gravely concerned about some 55 vets who have not called in to correctly file their Report of Compensation from Productive Labor. Special attention was called for the vets who have begun their training during the winter quarter. For the interest of these vets there is a list on the bulletin boards. Please call in. Men tion was made that failure to file one of these will result in not only a delay in the March subsistance payments but in payments thereafter.All vets training under public law 16 shall find it necessary to contact the vets office at least once a month. Up to the present time some 5,-000,000 veterans have filed for enrollment under both public laws. Since Nov. 30, 1946 2 14 million entered for training and education, 69 per cent of these were in educational institutions and 31 per cent were on the job trainees. Over one million vets are now enrolled in institutions of higher learning. Enrollments in educational Institutions throughout the United States have raised from 60 to 100 per cent above pre-war levels, and as well as the regular four years courses, shourt courses are in great demand. During the Spring semester at the University of Wisconsin married vets were making better grades than their bachelor buddies. The grades of those vets who had children were even higher. Because of crowded classes the veteran has protested to methods of educational training. Officials have said that it takes a higher standard of education to satisfy the widely traveled GI. They as a whole do not desire to revert to pre-war educational levels. GLAMOROUS GLORIA EAT BROWN'S ICE CREAM FOR HEALTH 1 i I ! VSV. Something new has been added!
