Show Page 2 SIGNPOST May 1. 1953 Next A Student Union Building for WC? Need for a student union building cannot be overstressed. The students need a place to relax and get away from the classroom. It would give the students on their free hours a place to have a little bit of recreation and to get their minds at ease for a time. It would aid greater sociability among the students by their being able to participate in various activities within the building. Although there are many places around this campus for students to take a seat for a moment, they are so scattered, the condition eliminates great student participation. It would be nice if in the union building there could be pool tables, ping-pong tables, lounges for men and women, a . small fountain for light refreshments and similar things for the enjoyment of the student body. Besides there should be student body offices for the administration, publications, committees and probably kitchen facilities for special occasions, and a ballroom. If we do it, let us think big about the proposed building. A recent legal action has cleared the way for the University of Utah to issue bonds for such a structure, even though it has one at the present time, largely financed by additions to student fees. But the present structure there was evidently the result of small thinking, and is now inadequate. We want Weber to have a student union now while the "build Weber" move has momentum. But we want Weber to think big on this matter. The University of Utah action, and also similar actions elsewhere, indicates these achievements are all possible if the student officers will get some high life. Here is a worthy job for Prexy Johnny Elzey and his colleagues. Larry Sander Carol McLatchie Clair Combe Also others. Students Giving Civic Work to Mew Site We should give the male students of Weber College a fine write-up on the splendid work they are doing on the new campus. As you recall, many of last year's students raked and planted the beautiful green grass that is on the front of the new grounds now. This year the boys are cleaning up the site, aiding in some construction, and doing other similar jobs. They de serve a tew kind words in the college paper. Darrell H. Wiser. Pity Thin Man III Fed Artists Express Hope Fate Will Deal Out Snack Bar How about setting up a snack bar in the art department some time in the near future, say, maybe tomorrow? I think that a snack bar will lift, not only the morale of art students, but also take away that hungry look. I'm not asking for the snack roost just for myself perish the thought but I'm thinking of those poor struggling artists such as Glenn Dickson. Believe me, he's really struggling. I believe that Glenn must be hungry because, when he saw me yesterday he called me everything from a chowder-head to a ham. Kaz'Teramoto. We have dropped In on the art department and found it a very homey, informal joint. About the only thing it lacks is, as you say, a snack bar. By the way, if thp cook sticks his finger in the coffee it will taste more full flavored. What the outcome would be if the thumb had paint on it, we cannot even guess. But give it a try. Signpost: Also to those planning the new Weber College campus. Any tennis courts that are to be built on the new campus would bring great player and tournament patronage to the college because Ogden has only two good courts. At least four quality courts could be constructed, equipped with well painted lines, large back courts, tall chain link fences, heavy cord nets, corner lighting for night playing, and a central drinking fountain. With such courts participation in this sport would increase greatly and would probably mean a better college tennis team. And to be sure, veteran players would feel emancipated. Wayne Cook. Now you are cooking with gas, Wayne. No pun intended. There is a tendency at Weber to neglect the minor sports. Signpost: v Since I returned to school last year after a two-year absence, I have noticed that Weber has neither the student nor community backing that the institution has had in the past. The faculty and the buildings, on the whole, have remained the same, and the student body in numbers has remained nearly constant. Why, then, the relapse of school spirit and support for the school's func tions? To make a comparison, last fall Weber College played six home football games to a total attendance not exceeding 5000 persons. In one city high school game attendance approached 10,000. Jack Andrews. There can be no doubt that the community and the student body are at fault here. If we had better support in football, possibly our record would have been somewhat better. But on the other hand, Jack, we think that a successful football team might have noticed better support People in the community were watching the win-loss column. Signpost: One thing that Weber College does not excel in is the advertisement of its own activities. More times than not, three-fourths of the student body does not know about the activity until it is completed. Richard White. Yes, The Signpost itself has had difficulty finding out the schedule. N'o single source seems to know what is going to happen within any given two weeks between issues of Signpost. Usually, however, at least a small note or two appear In theStandard-Examiner prior to the event. Most of the time, also, the advance notices appear on the bulletin boards. Signpost: Yesterday (April 21) there were notes sent around the school asking for volunteers to go up and help clear up the new campus. By 10 a. m. there were but three names on those lists.

Among them is Dr. Henry Aldpus Dixon, who is undoubtedly the greatest educational leader who ever struck Ogden. Perhaps he can call on the clubs about our best producers in student assignments and get something done that way. Perhaps there are other organizations that have a heart for civic improvement at Weber Just 10 students an afternoon are far too few. TRY THE For Delicious Homemade Pies COLLEGE I WC Speakers Amass Multiple Honors In Two National Debating Sessions Phi Rho Pi honors fell to Weber College mainly through the outstanding work of its women contestants in individual events during the national tournament sponsored at the local college recently. Afton Thomas, Kay Jon Mildon and Mary Moore ganged up to take most winnings in women's ex-temp, oratory and impromptu. The girls received medals and the school received plaques. Mildon was winner in several events, including first in women's impromptu, tie for first in ex-temp, with Mary Moore and Alice Baker of Los Angeles City College. She also received a second in women's oratory behind Thomas' first in that event. Reed Wahlquist and Blaine Grose Charlotte Ruth Stark, Kenton Stanger, Anne C.

While any Weber student was welcome, the trip was planned for students of these subjects by Mr. Buss, Fred Rabe of the photography department, and Ilene McKay, student. Costs were $20 each. "As residents of Utah we need to know more about the state and we can't do it if we are not familiar with it as a whole," pointed out Mr. Buss. "Typical of residents of northern Utah were 25 students out of 35 who went along on the first trip, who had never before seen southern Utah. This national attraction is right in our backyard. We must not neglect it," he declared.Phi Rho Pi Honors Dr. H. A. Dixon With Life Membership In recognition of his work in sponsoring the extensive debate work of Weber College, Dr. Henry Aldous Dixon was made an honorary life member of the national junior college debating society, Phi Rho Pi, by Glenn Jones, society president. The event was a high point of the national banquet when the 1953 tournament was conducted here in mid-April. Mr. Jones also lauded Dr. Dixon for his leadership in U. S. education and his warm friendliness in personal relationships. The national debate official described Dr. Dixon as "the kind of president one would want for his own college."i SIGNPOST BI-WEEKLY PUBLICATION' ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF WEBER COLLEGE 402 Moench Building Phone Weber College 3-8431 Signpost Extension OGDEN', UTAH Co-Editors Belte Ann Woolsey Allen Cook Advertising Warren Barnett Sports .

Vietti Title of "'best debater" was awarded Tom Burton of Weber in the big national college and university debate tournament conducted with more than 50 schools competing at the University of Virginia, Fredricksburg, according to a letter received from officials by his coach, Leland H. Monson. The selection was based upon the vote of opponents whom "Honest Tom," who is student body business manager, and Teammate Allan Cook met during the event. The Weber speakers met such teams as Princeton, Virginia, Dartmouth and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. .University of Utah also sent a delegation. Elated at the announcement, Mr. Monson said, "Weber has had no greater honor come to a member of its debate squads during the past 20 years than this one. It marks a real accomplishment for Tom." of Weber entered the debate finals with one loss, then went down with another in the semi-finals. Entering finals with two losses, but given a fresh start at that time, according to the rules, were the other Weber finalists in men's debate, Bob Francis and James Parker. They also were eliminated with another loss in the same round with Wahlquist and Grose. Director Leland H Monson said Glenn Jones, Phi Rho Pi president, had announced a system of scoring which may give these men a tie for third place in the national event. Later action is being awaited. This situation may also react favorably in women's debate to give Weber a higher spot than was at first reported. Pending verification of this by Mr. Jones, coach of Pueblo Junior college, official results stand as follows: Sweepstakes award, Los Angeles City college, mainly from points won in women's debate and in women's individual events.
