Schol ars Gladys Godfrey College Magazine Gains Rating of "All-American" University of Wisconsin N. S. P. A. rating bureau found Scrib ulus, W. C. literary magazine, mer its Ail-American. The association's rating booklet was issued to the staff late last week. Numbers sent in by Reed Coray, editor, were the latest three. These included the spring issue of last year, edited by Stanley Johnson, now at the University of Utah, and illustrated photographically by Rob ert Peterson, yearbook editor of last year. Study of the pamphlet showed that the judge had literally been swept away by Scribulus. First the art work, product of Mr. Farrell Collette's art department, and pho tography and general format had put him in a most favorable state of mind. Then when he got into the reading material, which appeared to be solely that of the spring and fall numbers, his good feeling continued. His unstinted liking for Johnson's spectacular satire, "A Guy Called God," quite plainly affected his first opinion of the writing. He continued in much the same vein and named writings authored by William Shipley, Almira Heslop, Dan Bailey, J. M. Demos, Donna Marie Curran, Maurine Duffin, and Wayne Bundy. Earl Tanner Como Springs Is Scene of Annual "W" Day Today "Colorful Como Springs" will be the scene of Weber's annual fun festival, "W" Day this afternoon as school is dismissed and 1,000 Weberites will play, eat, swim, and dance for an afternoon of relaxation. Co-chairmen Robert Bischoff and Grant Neuteboom have completed all arrangements that include special rates at the pool, for bowling, roller skating, and on the two buses that will leave this afternoon at two p. m. Other committee members who have assisted in the arrangements for the festival include Karma Jeppson, program; and John Piers, transportation. Students are expected to bring their own lunches for the outing. Lunch-time has been set at six o'clock. At that time a program of readings, songs, and community singing directed by Mr. Orlo Childs will be presented. A queen will be elected at th2 meet from the candidates presented by the men's clubs of the school. She will rule over the entire day's program. Outstanding Emma Martin Marcus Austad Emma-Marcus Are Named For Awards Emma Martin and Marcus Austad were chosen today as the outstanding boy and girl of the 1941 graduating class and were presented with the trophy in today's award assembly by Arlene Jensen student chairman of the award committee. The award climaxes an active two-year college career for the students, both of whom were also awarded Orion club membership in the assembly. As a freshman, Emma was named vice-president of her class to fill the same position with the same officers with whom she ruled at Ogden high school the year before. She was selected as a candidate for the crown of freshman queen, was chosen as a member of the Otyokwa social unit, and was pledged to Whip club last spring. As a sophomore Emma was elected to the position of vice-president of the student body, and served as a member of the activities committee. She was elected as an attendant to the queen at the annual Acorn ball. Emma was also awarded an al- ternateship to a scholarship to the Brigham Young university on the basis of her scholarship rating at Weber. She placed on the honor roll for all of her junior college work. Marcus won as a freshman last year first place in oratory at the national Phi Rho Pi convention held here. He was elect-ed student body president last spring. Ogden city's junior chamber of commerce award to the most outstanding citizen of Ogden between the ages of 20 and 30 was awarded Marcus this year on the basis of his participation on countless civic programs during the year. "Provonian" Wins Contest For H. S. Newspapers "The 'Provonian' from Provo high school will receive the first place cup in this year's contest," Marva Jensen, contest sen, contest editor. "We have received the decisions from the editor, announced today. "We have received the decisions from the editors and have totaled the decisions by points to decide the contest winners," continued Miss Jensen. In second place is the "South Scribe" of South high school and I tied for third place are the "Gran itian" from Granite high school and the "Red and Black" from East high school.. Others receiving honorable mention are "Murray-Go-Round" of Murray high school and "Davis Dart" from Davis high school. "I am well pleased with the newspapers entered in the contest this year they are consistently better than those entered in the contest last year," stated Mr. Cluster Nil-son, Signpost adviser. "So we feel that this contest is well worth while to all concerned." The two papers placing first and second will receive a cup which will be awarded in the near future by J. M. Demos, Signpost editor and a former staff member of the "Provonian."Each of the papers will receive a letter which contains a compiled report of criticisms it received from each of the judges and from the Journalism class under the direction of Mr. Nilsson, Provonian The Provo newspaper was chosen as winner because of its originality and typography according to the judges. Its editors have shown a good deal of originality and have produced an attractive newspaper along modern lines. It is the most "streamlined" paper of all and the type of make-up it represents is fast becoming more popular among the progressive daily papers of the nation. They have used a consistent headline type race and have departmentalized their paper effectively. Robert Bean, editor of the "Provonian" was the only person from Utah to win a scholarship to the Northwestern university school of Journalism this year. The adviser of the Provo high paper, Mr. Sherman Wing, has produced papers which have consistently wonAll-Amer-ican ratings. The "South Scribe" from South high school was chosen second place winner because of its general excellence of make-up and typography. The paper has made an effort to use a consistent headline type face which improves the appearance of the paper and has made effective use of art. It is the most professional appearing paper of all. Its sports page would do credit to many commercial newspapers of the state. Departmentalization is well done in this newspaper.Red and Black The East high "Red and Black" has also made an effort to standardize headline type faces. The editorial writing in this paper is above average. It is conventional, fairly well made up, and very interesting. The "Granitian" of Granite high school ranks high in the matter of typographical appearance and outranks many of the other papers in the number of news items which appear in each issue. It is clean, well made up and uniform in typography.This contest is sponsored yearly by Weber college journalism class and school paper, Signpost. Judges for the contest were Mr. Arthur C. Deck, managing editor of the Salt Lake Telegram; Mr. Don Howard, executive news editor of the Salt Lake Tribune: Mr. M. E. Petersen, managing editor of the Deseret News; and Mr. Glen Perrins, managing editor of theStandard-Examiner. Spectacle Marks Closing of Music Festival Taps played by Desmond Norton and Delbert Brown ended the mammoth regional music festival which had sway in Ogden during the 8, 9, and 10 of May. The concluding event, which was held at the stadium on the tenth, was a spectacular and picturesque climax to the three-day intermoun-tain music festival. There were 51 bands that participated in the mammoth grand march and all together these bands played "The Star Spangled Banner," and "God Bless America" with the audience singing. The grand entry brought into action over 3000 boy and girl musicians from the intermountain west. Many distinguished guests were introduced to the audience and were received with a heart warming welcome. "Flag Without a Stain" was played by Wayne Moyes, Dean Maddock, and Richard Smith, after which awards were presented to division I winners in chorus, orchestras, band marching and band Continued on Page 3 f . . bwmg hever Presented Successfully By THE FIRST NIGHTER Weber college really had a dose of "Swing Fever" last night and Wednesday night when audiences at the presentation of the Varsity show had an earful of music, an eyeful of maidens, and a mind full of plot. Suffering only from a possible lack of polish, the cast of "Spring Fever" managed to 'come out from under" with plenty of action, laughs, and music to satisfy everyone. Dan Bailey undertook the most gargantuan task of his varied career when he undertook to produce, direct, act-in, and co-author the production. And those who saw Bailey sail through a creditable plot, an ambitious production, and a swell bit of acting, know that he didn't fail. Undoubtedly the outstanding part of the show was the music. Estelle Kelleher, who wrote and directed the numbers, surpassed even pre-show predictions and left no doubt but what she possesses plenty of talent. Her numbers included "Hello, Love," "Ceilito Ci," "Slumber-time on Broadway," "The Girl Who Plays the Marble Machine," and the brilliant finale, "The Latin Conga South Americonga." Close behind the music in excellence were the ambitious dance numbers directed by Sophie Reed. They brought for the first time in your critic's knowledge finished dance numbers into a varsity show Continued on Page 3 Sociology Lectures Finish Second Successful Year "This has been the most succes- ful year the sociology club has had, and the courtship and marriage forum has proven very successful, states faculty advisor, Walter Neville.The first in the series of eight lectures was held on March 24 and was given by E. E. Erickson, professor of philosophy at the University of Utah. Professor Erickson spoke on courtship. On March 31 Dr. Wesley Lloyd, dean of men at the Brigham Young university gave a lecture on the factors of success and failure of marriage. Mr. Lloyd's reaction to the lecture scries was, "If this group of young people and the department constitutes an accurate representation of your entire program there must be a great deal being accomplished at Weber college." O. Whitney Young gave a lecture on April 7. His subject was eugenics and marriage. Mrs. Lydia Tanner, instructor of home economics at Weber college, gave a lecture on home managing. Her lecture was given on April 14. The next lecture to be given will be given by Professor Joseph Sy-mons of U. S. A. C. His subject will be on personality development in Continued on Page 3 Hurst Elected President of Faculty Assn.

Spring Magazine Appears For Campus Following BY THE BOOKANEER The final edition of Scribulus for this year was in the hands of Weber's student body today as its editor, Reed Coray, wrote a large "30" to his career as literary entrepreneur.The magazine, featuring a spring photograph on its cover and a new array of literary talent within, was being distributed to an eager audience who waited to see what an "All-American" magazine looked like after the cheers had died down. And all of those who read it were not disappointed. Scribulus still maintains its reputation for the finest, the most unusual, and the newest of mazagine twists. There were pathos, humor, art, and good writing enough to satisfy even the most critical members of its following.Fiction In the realm of true fiction the magazine boasts contributions by the prolific Dan Bailey who is represented by a psychological study of emotions in "Reverie on a Violin Concert." Not being of a psychological mind ourselves, your critics must admit that it smacks of realism with an ever-present interest, and let it go at that. Editor Coray has delved into his past experiences again for "...And Dance, and Song, and Joy. . ." which isn't at all what the title suggests but which remains with one long after the story's finis, which only goes to say it makes one think. It Baccalaureate Sermon and Commencement Speaker Choice Announced by Group Ranks of the Alumni association of Weber college will gain 221 new members on May 29, when the largest group ever to graduate will receive theii diplomas. Candidates for graduation as announced by Mrs. Clarisse Hall, registrar, number 221, an increase of 19 over 1940 when 202 students were graduated. Associate of arts diplomas will be given to 19 students, 147 will receive associate of science diplomas and 55 will get certificates of completion. Speaker Dr. G. O. Russell Larson Wins Election in Second Tria Climaxing one of the most unusual campaigns in Weber's election history, Jack Larson broke the tie that resulted in the first student body election, to win the office of student body president from Rex McEntire by the slim margin of 44 votes last Thursday. Totals were 297 for Larson and 253 for McEntire.Th.e election held May 7 resulted in a tie vote for president of 246 votes for eah candidate. In the same election, however, LaVon Earl, Otyokwa, defeated Elaine Grow, La Dianaeda, by a vote of 291 to 202 to win the office of vice-president. Ruth Carver, La Dianaeda, was named to the position of secretary over Sophie Reed in a 311-282 vote. Dan Drummiler, Phoenix, was elected student body treasurer, defeating LaMar Buck ner, unaffiliated, 291 to 201. The new officers held their first meeting today with Doctor Dixon, prsident of the college. Mr. Larson said following the meeting: "It is certainly going to be difficult to keep up the standard the officers of this year set up. We officers for next year feel sure, with the support we are going to get from the students and faculty, that next year can be a success. handled with the usual Coray purity of style and character portrayal."The Silver Dove," by Donna Conroy, is a piece of legend mixed with childish misunderstandings but manages to fill its spot in the magazine with finesse. Newly elected vice-president of the student body, LaVon Earle, has delved into local history for the story of the Morrisite rebellion, with which she enters the authors' list of Scribulus. Her story, although often lacking in style, is a moving chronicle of religious action and is found under the title of "His Wonders to Perform." Faculty "Cruelty," by the only faculty representative in the magazine, Mr. Cluster M. Nilsson, uses the surprise ending to climax a yarn of nuptial incompatability. Collegiate fraternal life and love receives a "once-over-lightly" treatment from Dewey Hudson in his "Blonde, You Know." It is a yarn fil'ed with the doings of college as even we know it and has a laugh in every paragraph. It promises much from this freshman. Three character sketches are present in the issue. They include "The Charlatan," by Ruth Bowen; "Roza," by Virginia Harris; and "Child of Nature," by Shirley Harris. Of these the last stands out as one of the finest writings in the magazine. It is enjoyable, interesting, and thought-provoking from Continued on Page 3 Baccalaureate services will be held Sunday evening, May 25 at n , t t- c 1- :-a -t xrt. rru- uk.Jll irnM menoi Ostrow" by Rubinstein, Dlaved bv Mr. James Clair Ander son, organ; Beverly Jurgens, piano; and Elaine Grow, piano.
