Excelsior Sponsors Gruelling 7-Mile Marathon BY JAY OLSEN An activity of great interest took place last Saturday, May 2, 1942. Jack Luddington, the club's star track man, made a five dollar wager, to the effect that he could run to North Ogden. At ten a. m. Saturday he started his run from Weber college. In 45 minutes he pulled up in front of the gas station at North Ogden. A car followed him all the time on the way out to see he didn't stop running! Because this extremely difficult run was completed by Jack, he has challenged all students interested, to a race to Hot Springs. Excelsior has agreed to sponsor Jack on this run. All members of the other male organizations in school should contact President Dick Herrick. The exact time of the race has not been decided, but an announcement will be made in the near future as to the date. An expensive loving cup t will be given by a marathon queen to be chosen by Excelsior, to the winner of the grueling race. Jack will probably run into a great deal of competition with such boys as Bob Huggins, Bob Petty, Ted Boyle, Louis Slagowski and others to come. Sophie Reed has agreed to pace the boys the first half mile on their run. B. Y. U.

Public speaking and radio: Neta Students Lazy At Time Of Elections By DONALD SHATJB In the primary election, held Monday, only 50 per cent of the students voted. What do you think should be done to remedy this situation?I can't imagine people being so dead as not wanting to vote for student body officers. I think the students should vote, but I can't suggest a method. Betty Govern. The students of Weber college are no different than many of the citizens of the United States. If we but had the "opportunity" to live in a dictatorially controlled country, then, and only then, would we fully appreciate the privilege of having democratic plebiscite. It takes a student that is alive to vote. May the 50 per cent who failed to vote in the primary elections remember that they can have no objection to the policies formulated by the new officers. Any complaints that they might make have no foundation. A man that will not vote can not criticize. LaMar Buckner. I think that if the elections were given morepublicity, more students would come to the polls to vote. Pat Meissner. If the ballots were distributed during a class period, say ten o'clock, everyone in the class would vote. Those who did not have a ten o'clock class could vote in a public booth, erected for just that purpose. Joe Wedell. The 50 per cent who didn't vote doesn't give a damn, so why should we worryl about them? Bob Gud-mundson.A more rigorous activity program would increase interest in administration and cause people to vote for their candidates. Don Johnson. This election isn't a fault of the student body officers; the fault lies in the student body. If the students got behind more activities we wouldn't have to worry about elections being supported. Neta Chard. I think the students should be informed on the necessity of their voting. If they want these elections run democratically, they must at lease be willing to vote. Bud Barrett. Increased activity by the student officers and students as a whole will bring out interest in school functions. Through this medium interest in the leaders will be gained and more will vote.

After counting the boards in the fence around the stadium while the members held the regular meeting, the pledges returned to the Central gym where the goat master took charge. After the usual honors the pledges bedded down in the wrestling room of the gym, prepared to spend a delightful night. Their peaceful sleep was interrupted about one a. m. by Milt Cooper who came investigating when he heard Farr snoring.

May 8 fDaisy Mae and Li I1 Abner to Be Chosen From Local Yokels Taking their que from the bewitching sirens of the Odessy, the squaws of Otyokwa go on the "man path" on May the 8th and invite the entire student body to join them. From what we can gather from the closely guarded secrets of the event, every male at Weber college will live in constant fear of being besieged by the "fairer sex," as the first "Sadie Hawkins day" in Weber college history swings into action.Ancient Beginning The whole story originates way back in the Ozarks where Lil' Abner and Daisy Mae do their wooing in "dog patch style," with the "dame" chasing the "feller" until love or exhaustion ends the episode. It is the wish of our, "out for men's scalps," squaws that this scene will be very common, in fact the usual procedure of May 8th on the local campus. As the girls return from their conquests with their "Lil' Abner" trailing reluctantly behind (don't believe it), one couple will be chosen to reign as Daisy Mae and Lil' Abner at the dance to be held in the "dog patch" that evening. It should be a great event, this Sadie Hawkins day. Chase your men, gals! Try to avoid them, men, and here's hoping you're not too successful. Then when old clothes are discarded, and the day is history, students can return to normal with the women chasing the men as usual, but without the benefit of publicity or "Sadie Hawkins." bers at the final banquet at which time the present administration of the club- will give way to a new regime. for Aviation will be selected for training to be Deck or Engineering Officers. In that case, you will continue your college program until you receive your bachelor's degree, provided you maintain the established university standards. Those whose grades are not high enough to qualify them for Deck or Engineering Officer training will be permitted to finish their second calendar year of college. After this, they will be ordered to duty as Apprentice Seamen, but because of their college t raining, they will haveabetterchance for rapid advancement. At any time, if a student should fail in his college courses, he may be ordered to active duty as an Apprentice Seaman. Pay starts with active duty. It's a real challenge! It's a real opportunity!
