Show THE SIGNPOST THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1941 First Jaycee Game, At Albion, Is Toughest Schools Have Had i ci xxc.. Long, Stilt heud 3 BY IRAN WATTS Idaho State Normal Junior college will be hosts to the Weber college football team at Albion October 18, when the Wildcat team meets the northerners for the first Jay cee conference game. This is without doubt the tough-eat game on Weber's schedule. For the past 10 years Weber ana Albion have fought for the jaycee conference title. In 1937 the Weber Wildcats fell before the powerful Albion team, 13-0. Weber came back with a strong team in 1938 and downed Albion 13-0. In 1939, the two battled out a 6-6 tie, and last year Albian beat Weber 7-6 in a spirited battle at the Ogden stadium. Albion seems to produce a strong team every year, and their coach, Mr. Orville Hult, is one of the best in the business, according to his record. Citing the importance of this game and the lack of practice of the team, Coach Bob Davis said that he is hurrying arrangements for a scrimmage game October 10 with Westminster Junior college of Salt Lake City. If the Westminster game can be arranged, it will probably give the Wildcat team sufficient practice needed to meet Albion.The Fullerton-Weber game of last Friday showed Weber's weakness in passing and tackling. Coach Davis said, however, that these faults have been difficult to overcome, because the team has had such a short time to practice. A more cheerful aspect is cast upon the situation by the fact that Weber has some excellent football material this year, as revealed by the recent Fullerton collision. West Lists Names For Editor; Johnson Gets Art Editor for the Scribulus magazine this year has not been chosen, but the field has narrowed down to three: Maurice Richards, Virginia Harris and Ruth Bowen. The art editorship has been tentatively given to Billy Johnson. The other staff positions will be made from among members of the Scribblers' club, the new literary club here. Positions are still open for applications. The editor and his staff will be chosen within the next two weeks and will be announced immediately I DOBBS 1 Khaki Whipcord Style !

T Moves I oward Intended Goals Kay Kyser's school of musical knowledge has nothing over Weber college. In each assembly at Weber community sings have been in the spotlight. Student body president Jack Larsen reports that 70 slides of popular songs and the old-timers are ready for use. The school hymn and pep songs of Weber will also be used. It is desired that the freshmen learn all of Weber's songs so that the entire student body may join in the singing. Larsen's plan of decorating the ballroom may be started soon under the auspices of the power sewing classes under the supervision of Miss Enid Gibby, sewing instructor. However, as this plan now stands, it is just a possibility. Since the school budget has just been drawn up today, Prexy Larsen does not know what funds, if any, can be applied to the fund for the "Reader's Digest" to be sent to Weber's alumni now in the army. He stated that the money might be raised by giving a concert or some sort of musical, or through a movie. Grid Captain Has His Own Success Story Local gridiron warriors have elected Joe Peterson, who plays right end, to be captain for this year. Peterson is a resident of Taylor, Utah, and is registered as a trade student at Weber. He got his start in football as a junior at Weber high school. He also played basketball there but he has not entered basketball here, and he says that he does not intend to. Peterson says that football is his favorite sport and that this tends to diminish his interest in other sports. Strangely, the new captain was but a substitute on Weber's team last year and warmed the bench during every game until the team played Pasadena. Then Coach Bob Davis gave him a chance to show his ability. He played a whirlwind game then and has been playing this type of ball ever since, according to the coach. inasmuch as the first publication has been set for November 15. Mr. Ray B. West, faculty adviser, announced that the English department would help in choosing the staff, but that the final selection will be made by the student council. W. A. A. Arranges Calendar for Current Season According to Ruth Stromberg, director of W. A. A. activities, there's a sport for every girl on the W. A. A. program and everyone is invited to participate. On Friday, October 3, activities got underway with volley ball heading the list. The next activity on the list is the service ball tournament, which will be run off during the latter part of the autumn quarter under the direction of Ruth Madsen. Team sports which will be sponsored during the winter quarter are basketball with Marian Bader as the director. Softball will be the main sport of the spring quarter and Madge Olsen will direct the tournament. In addition to the team sports there will be individual tournaments each quarter. During autumn quarter, Chloe Yates will direct an archery tournament; winter quarter Sue Boyle will direct a bowling tournament; and spring quarter Ruth Stromberg will direct a tennis tourney. Other outstanding activities W. A. A. will sponsor are 'the dance drama, and the water carnival. Each year five block W's are awarded' to the five outstanding sophomore women who have supported W. A. A. A gold cup is also given. It is given to the organized unit with the highest number of points. If a team succeeds in holding the cup for three consecutive years it becomes its property. Last year Iota Tau Kappa won that distinction.Frosh Elections Take Place During November Freshman class officers will not be elected until November, according to Jack Larsen, student body president. Until then, the destiny of the class will be in the hands of Jay Olsen, Wayne Carver, and John Vernieu, temporary representatives.The election has been delayed until the Weber greenlings have had an opportunity to become bet ter acquainted with the abilities and qualifications of fellow classmen as prospective candidates. The postponement of the voting also affords students the advantage of meeting freshmen from high schools other than their own alma mater and studying their potential leadership abilities. Student officials believe this extra allotment of time will break down the barrier between students coming from different high schools and promote an attitude of cooperation and friendliness among the members of the freshman class. Officers hope that the freshmen will forget high school differences and unite as one to support Weber college. Sleuthing ... Is your college paper important? Do you believe that a lively, entertaining newspaper is the indication of a college to which the same adjectives can be applied? The faculty advisers and the students who work hard to publish the Signpost believe this. They believe too that prospective students, as well as alumni and parents and friends of the students, form their impressions of the college at least in part from its newspaper. Do you believe that your college paper is important enough to receive your support? The Signpost staff defines "support" as more than a hasty reading of the issue. The staff feels that it is entitled to intelligent criticism. It welcomes helpful suggestions. It hopes it is big enough to accept unfavorable comments when they are offered with a view to assisting the staff members in bettering the publication. Contrary to the impression some of the movies of newspaper life would give, reporters are not supermen. They are not possessed of a sixth sense, an infallible "nose for news." Reporters are only human and they need help. If you know of some interesting happenings, take a minute and tell a Signpost staff member about them. He will be glad to do the sleuthing after you have provided the clue.

They are Nelson "Shipwreck" Moku and Albert' "Allah" Lolatai. Both boys are former residents of the Hawaiian Islands. They met at the Laloni high school in Honolulu, where they entered school athletics. Here Moku and Lolatai gained fame by capturing honors in both basketball and track and by becoming three-year lettermen in football. Anyone who has seen them around the Weber college campus can understand that they are excellent football material Lolatai tipping the scales at 205 and Moku making up for his weight by muscularity, hitting the 170 mark. Upon completion of their studies in Honolulu they decided to sail for the United States to continue at some reputable college. In Salt Lake City some three weeks ago, they received the information that Weber college was one of the finest junior colleges in the west. Relying on this information, Moku and Lolatai decided to attend Weber. They registered about a week ago. Their interests in social entertainments around Weber are in no way suppressed by their interests in athletics and studies. In comparing the girls here with those in Hawaii both agreed that they stacked up about 50-50. Albert said, however, there were certainly some beauties over here. They admitted that Hawaiian girls do not swish temptingly past at every intersection and every wooded path. In fact, they stated, girls rigged thus are seldom seen except at some types of entertainments and social gatherings. Lolatai's and Moku's other interests are widespread. They include music, body surfing, fishing, and hunting wild pigs and pheasants. They look forward to winter sports, in which they are as yet unskilled. are willing to fight for their new mater. Fullerton Game Interests 'Rabid' Fans BY OREN JACOBS Charley Horse? Or should I just say hoarse? Yes, and aren't we all? But I dare to bet it isn't from yelling our lungs out at theFullerton-Weber football game last Friday. It's probably from sitting next to some of those unheated pieces of humanity, the freshmen. Boy were they cold! They certainly must have been because they didn't make much noise. The spirit at the game was deader than my Aunti Freeze was when she froze to death one summer morning trying to find her red woolens. Soph Spirit Even the sophomore spirit was at its lowest ebb. Everyone was buried (and I do mean buried; they were dead!) so deep in their coats they would have had to reach in their pockets to scratch their nose. Come on! Let's see and hear everybody at the next home game. One really ought to go to these football games, for they are such fun and one meets more darn interesting characters than you can shake a knife at. Why it was only last Friday at the game that I met the cutest freshman girl. It all began something like this: Muffled Words I was watching the game when I heard muffled words coming from my left side (don't misunderstand; of course it came from another person); I looked and it was a cute little freshman girl with heij. coat puiiea over ner neaa. &ne was just coming out for air. She had an angry look on her face, so I asked her what was the matter. She said, "Have those cockeyed Fullerton boys still got the ball? That's not fair; they've had it longer than we have." I guffawed bitterly and then asked, "Say, what's your name, honey?" "I'm Barbara Boone, but just call me Babs for short." I guffawed bitterly again, "Nuts, how interesting." "Yaas, I come from ti long line of Boones." Funny I pondered over both her names, and something struck me sorta funny. "Don't you mean you came frfcm a large family tree Bab Boone?" She slapped my face and EFENSE, BUY UNITED STATES SAVINGS BONDS White Cords 3.98 Belts Zippers Pleats 0 Basic Essential Of Defense Program Are Given (ACP) "National defense and welfare are dependent upon the development of a strong, healthy people. A positive program of physical, mental and social fitness is needed. This program must start in childhood and youth to lay the foundations for healthy adult life. It is a long-range program. Children, youth and adults need to learn a variety of leisure time skills, such as are offered in physical education, for use and in the future. Frustrated, neglected, or bored people have low morale. Physical education renders an indispensable service to moral improvement through the 'develop ment of leisure time skills and the opportunities which it offers for their expression." Frank G. Mc-Cormick, University of Minnesota athletic director, warns that undirected leisure breeds isms. "The number of high school teachers who come to us each summer, eager to take graduate work in Journalism because they find themselves poorly prepared for responsibilities which have been thrust upon them by their school administrators, leads me to believe that we have here a very weak link in our teacher-training program.'' Kenneth E. Olson, dean of Medill school of journalism, Northwestern University, sees a need for sounder training of high school journalism teachers. "There is an evil greater than war and that is human slavery. Either you go down in dishonor or you put forth all your effort in this moral crisis." Eduard C. Lindeman, professor of philosophy at New York School of Social Work, denounces American non-interventionists.Advice Is Dished Out to Coeds On Girdle Wear (ACP) Freshman co-eds at Massachusetts State college have been advised to wear a girdle unless you're a veritable sylph the day of the hip-swingitfg siren co-ed is gone. A booklet of advice published by Isogon, senior honor society, and written by Kay Tully of South-bridge and Mary Donahue of New-buryport, advises not only how to dress but how to act. On "dating," a major portion of the booklet, the advice is to "hold onto your kisses 'til you find somebody you really want to give them to. "Don't forget that boys talk about girls and if you 'neck' with one man, all his 'brothers' will know it soon." Other warnings: include. "Don't be possessive. It is the easiest way to lose a good date. "Don't drink more than two if you drink at all. You can still be sociable without drinking. "Don't be too choosy at first. Some fellows can introduce you to some good future dates if you're smart." And girls "Don't believe an eighth of what you hear." stamped away. It wasn't till a short time afterwards that I realized what I had incinerated. We're a school of good sturdy bodies and souls. We're not ashamed of our football team just because they're smaller than usual, are we? Well, then let's get out and show them we can -win our games with spirit. So drag your spirits out of the moth balls (or do you keep it in a bottle) and come to cheer the boys on October 25. Drag out the old raccoon coat, dust off old Sally's saddle blanket, swill down some sulphur and molasses to clear your throat and we'll see you at the game.

Swim Coach Heads National Sports Office for Jaycees Because of Coach Ferron Losee's meeting with Mr. Herschel C. Smith, president of the National Junior College Athletic association, at Denver last May, Mr. Losee has been appointed vice president of the northwest division of the or ganization. This appointment, ot- ficials here feel, is one of importance for it brings the school prestige among the junior colleges of the northwest. Weber college's pep rally was broadcast over KLO in the W. C. auditorium on October 2, prior to the Weber-Fullerton football game. Coach Bob Davis, Joe Peterson, captain; Maku and Lolatai, two Hawaiian football players, and George A. Lowe, manager of the Ogden Reds baseball team were introduced.Much pep and enthusiasm and pep was shown as the students did a snake dance down to the Egyptian theatre. "A Yank in the R. A. F." was the picture. On Friday morning Oct. 3 atseven-thirty, the Whip girls of Weber greeted the Fullerton team with songs and yells at the Union Pacific depot. At a recent meeting new officers were elected to serve the Women's Athletic association for the coming year, Mary Olpin, president, announced.The elections were as follows: Vice president, Virginia Nelson; secretary, Chloe Yates; sports managers, Madge Olsen and Ruth Mad-sen; assistant intramural manager, Maxine Whittaker; dance club director, Marjorie Andelin; and fencing club director, Ilene De Georgio.

As expected, the visitors took over soon after the kickoff. The ! Weber men held their ground staunchly, and although they were scoreless played an excellent brand of football. In the first quarter the Wildcats held the Hornets down, and once with the aid of John Dixon's plunges through Fullerton line, pushed down the field. The last part of the quarter saw Fullerton out-maneuvering Weber with the ingenious plays of Lewis and Foster, whose passing and plunging through the Wildcat line were spectacular. Fullerton became uncontrollable in the second quarter and marched down the field with consecutive first downs, pushing Weber to its own goal and then plunging over for the score. Fullcrton's final touchdown came in the third frame when Al Foster, fullback, pulled down a Wildcat punt on his own 30-yard line and raced eighty yards for a touch down. Lewis and Brvant tallied the other two touchdowns. A place kick by Kauffman gave the Hor nets an extra point. Weber rallied several times dur- ing the game and pushed toward the goal. Once they pushed tliera selves to the four-yard line but lofl the chance to score because of 9 wild pass. It was apparent to even a careless observer that the Wildcats have a fine season ahead of them. Powerful but unassimilated material functioned only at times because of the short training period. Dixon, Larsen, Green. Peterson, Norseth, Page, and others showed flashes of brilliance which will be more consistent as the team shapes up. Oakland, California, Miss Nelson is also a free style; Mary Olpin, free style, who last year placed third in the national A. A. U. meet; and Alice Woods, free style. According to Miss Ida Stewart, the fencing coach, Weber's fencing team will have a bigger and better year. On Thursday of every week all fencers will meet from seven until nine p. m. for private instruction in competition. Ilene De Geor-gio, in charge of the fencing club, invites anyone who is interested to attend. TYPEWRITERS Sold, Rented Repaired Wasatch Typewriter Company 332 24th Dial 4352 ABBFAKF01 MY FEET..
