Faculty Folks Hit Pace in County, City Public Life Walter C. Neville, John Benson and Parley Kilburn, of the social science division, are members of one of the Ogden municipal committees on juvenile delinquency. Their job is research. At last week's master conference of subcommittees, which cleared the way for an all-out attack on Ogden's serious juvenile problem, Jennings Olson, W. C. student president, member of committee composed of representative students from Ogden schools, promised that Weber college would do an effective job of original analysis of young people's difficulties. His committment was apparently a reference to the work laid out for the three Weber instructors.Leland H. Monson, head of the humanities division, spoke to the Alto club at its monthly meeting on "The Value of Literature" at the invitation of Mrs. Charles Espy, program director. Mr. Monson also appeared in the January issue of "Western Speech," official organ of the Western Association of Teachers of Speech. His article was entitled "Junior College Speech Problems." C. H. Anderson, C. A. A.-W. T. S. coordinator for Weber, returned last week from a conference of coordinators at Reno and Carson City, Nev. The problem was postwar training of civilian pilots and involved a discussion of Senator Pat McCarran's bill on civilian pilot training. Senator McCarran and authorities on flight training were present. Mr. Anderson brought back word that thepros-pect is favorable for such a program on a large scale when the naval training program ceases. Guy H. Hurst, head of the business division, recently addressed the International Relations Study club on the subject of world economics. Mrs. O. S. Daines is president of the organization. President Henry Aldous Dixon is chairman of the Ogden post-war planning committee, whose d,ut'es have been defined as the coordination of post-war planning. First decisive action of the committee was to restrict the building of further housing in the city. This move was an effort to cushion the effect of the expected post-war economic collapse which will probably strike real estate values in war boom communities a severe blow. The committee recommended also that if more houses are built, that they be of a portable, temporary type. Dr. Orson Whitney Young, head of the life science division, and also president of the Weber Health association, was in charge of the local observance of National Social Hygiene day, February 2. His organization is an affiliate of the Utah Social Hygiene association and of the American Social Hygiene association, and is interested in community health, especially the preventative phase.

Lieutenant Colonel Harry J. Day-huff, graduate of '38, son of Mr. and Mrs. Huston Dayhuff, 3638 Grant avenue, recently downed his second German fighter plane on escort duty with a flight of bombers raiding Frankfurt.

Later he was in charge of a wave of landing barges at Kiska. His first citation was received for landing troops under fire at Morocco. Lieutenant Foulger joined the navy in the fall of 1940, became ensign in June of 1941at Northwestern university and lieutenant in July, 1943. He majored in business at Weber Lieutenant Robert B.

A.fd4iu: as. ..iu-'.Vii.-i a week ago, Are Tine examples Of Creative Work By Ann Taylor Sixty-seven paintings by twenty-five artists were viewed by an appreciative public at the ninth annual art exhibit last week when the canvases were hung in the lobby of the Weber college gym. The exhibition, sponsored by the Ogden branch of the American Association of University Women, consisted of oils, pastels, pencil sketches and a group of photographs from the Ogden Camera club. The exhibit of the Ogden Camera club offered several striking photos. One of the toest was that of the navy man chosen because of its clearness, contrast, and general appearance. The black uniform, the white hat and the flag in the background tended to bring out the face which is the desired effect of all photographs. The camera fans are becoming very professional in their work and the exhibit was a success.

But Nye, like nearly all Weber students, was worn out with mental application, and Johnny on the spot nabbed his share of a seat in which two other persons were already squeezing each other. In less time than it took Nye to squeeze the two who were already squeezing each other, the bus became five-fifths full and a handsome bug-eyed blonde got parked on the handle of the seat the previous three occupants were compressing each other into. If Nye had only held on a bit longer the blonde would have been parked on his lap, and it would have been one of the others who finally got popped to the surface for the third time. But you know Nye. Since he was almost standing now anyway, he played the gentleman and gave the girlie his sea.t, what there was of it. Or maybe in the melee she just slipped under. The remaining two saw what had happened and the gentleman in the middle made the gentleman next to the window make room for the blonde. Well, the upshot was that the good-lookin' turned out to be nice, and she offered to hold Nye's load on her lap for the duration. This made it necessary for Nye to get off her lap himself, which he did, and after a brief examination of her character traits he handed her five texts, his pre-war loose-leaf and his gym shoes. His orientation syllabus he kept for himself.At this point the usual occurred and the bus became six-fifths full, and the hero of this yarn found himself sardined at the back of the said conveyance. So when it came time for him to get off, the wench who was holding his books, etc., may still have been holding them but Nye could not find her. The way he figures it, she is not Burton Qualifies In District Speech Contest The senior high school national discussion contest, held at Weber college during the first part of February, was won by Lawrence Burton, representing Ogden high school. Contestants talked to the subject "Conservation of Food." Schools represented were Ogden high school, Weber county high school, Morgan high school, Davis county high school and Box Elder high school. Another division of the contest, rendition of a memorized essay of ten minutes' length, will be conducted at Weber college March 3. Weber college division of humanities is in charge of the contest for District No. 3, comprising Weber, Davis, Morgan and Box Elder counties. Mr. Leland H. Monson, head of the division, is director, and Mr. Charles Espy, English instructor, is assistant director. The six finalists of the northern and southern Utah districts will compete in Salt Lake City the third week of April. The winner will receive a $50 bond. him, and decided to get to the bottom of the mystery. Another possibility is that the dame came to her street and thought she had just as well get off there as anywhere. Nye has told the tale less than 25 times but each time his audience makes the same talk: "You sure showed you wuz smart, Gene, hangin' to that orientation slubbis." Popenoe Has Answers to Love Matters Offers Solution for Family Reduction In City Population Dr. Paul Popenoe, marriage authority of national fame, gave a series of addresses at Weber college last week on th troublesome aspects of the domestic relationship. He was sponsored in Ogden by Weber college and the city schools, and elsewhere in the state by the University of Utah, Utah State Agricultural college and other highly credited groups. His talks here were: "Helping Youth Find the Way," "Community Responsibility to the Home," "Preparing Youth for Marriage" and "Strengthening the American Home." In following out his general theme, "Marriage Faces the Future," he showed that romantic love is apt to be infantile self-love. Walter Neville, instructor in sociology, reported it as the best discussion he had heard. As a sound substitute for this Dr. Popenoe offered the primary sex complex with other major factors, such as love of children, mating impulse, economic partnership and companionship. He gave statistics showing that the masculine civilization with its sacred shiboleth of eual wage for equal work is sterilizing urban populations. He predicts race suicide in large cities in three generations unless something is done. His solution was the proportional wage system under which a man receives 15 per cent more wage for each child. Industry could be subsidized for this program so that bachelors would not be the only people employed. As it is, a married man is punished by a 15 per cent salary cut for each child born because of the added expense of raising it. The community can help solve divorce problems by encouraging the schools to give more educational programs for family living as well as organizing community family clinics. Engineers Visit Provo Geneva steel plant, in the Provo area, was visited by 24 Weber engineering students Tuesday. Teachers accompanying the group were Mr. Ralph Gray, Mr. Garnett Littlefield and Mr. GlennAlexander. Club Sponsored Bond Drive Triples Original Objectives Final Reports On Terminal Work Due Feb. 1 Further Funds for Study May Come If Work Justifies . Completed projects in terminal education, and summaries of the projects, will be handed in to the president's office February 1 by all Weber college teachers who have taken part in this study over the three - year period the school has participated, according to information released by the office. These project studies will be used as the basis for an extensive report to the committee administering the project on the results Weber college has obtained in its project, "The Organization and Development of Terminal Vocational Courses in the Junior College." On the basis of the progress and value of the report, the committee may grant further funds and additional time in which to carry forward the researches. Weber college has previously received about $6,000 from the Rockefeller foundation and from the Utah state board of education. At present President Henry Aldous Dixon, coordinator of the project at Weber, is conducting a survey of important junior colleges in the west to determine what progress and contributions they have made in this direction. He has f-rmulated a series' of questions which each teacher or originator of a course in terminal vocational education will be asked to fill out. These results will be summarized upon President Dixon's return and become a part of the large report. He expect to he back in Ogden this week-end. In the absence of the coordinator, the instructors have been using their time to draw together the loose ends of their reports and make summaries of procedure. Art Appreciation Is Subject Of Lecture Series Art for the consumer is being explained in a series of lectures sponsored by the division of humanities in the art room of the Central building Wednesdays and Thursdays from seven-thirty to nine p. m. The final lecture will be held next Monday. Tonight's subject will be "Art Mediums How to Recognize and Appreciate Them," and tomorrow evening's will be "Art Put to Use Clothing, Home and School." The final lecture, to be held in the Institute of Religion, will be on "Art in Our Times." Instructor of the course is Mrs. Bea Markham, Weber art instructor. The course is open to the public without charge and lectures can be attended whether or not previous ones were heard. In commenting on the series, Mr. Leland H. Monson, head of humanities, said, 'We are on the brink of perhaps the greatest material and scientific development the world has known. This is wonderful, but we must have a knowledge of and feeling for beauty to accompany all this power that is to be ours, and to direct it." Acapella Choir Sings for W. C. Tomorrow Tomorrow's assembly will be provided by Ogden high school's a cap-pella choir, directed by Mr. Glenn Hanson, according to Maurinc Rob-son, student chairman of the assembly committee. Those remembering previous visits of the choir say that it perhaps is the most popular performance of the year with assembly audiences. St. George Trip Is "Pleasant And Profitable" Debaters attending the dual debate meet at St. George, during early February were Shirley Cun-nington, Betty Lou Lamoreaux, Lew Cook and George Handy. The meet was "no decision." Mr. Leland H. Monson, coach, accompanied the speakers. They reported an enjoyable trip and felt that the debate experience they received was profitable. Sales Will Continue; Queen to Be Named At Freshman Dance Students, faculty and patrons of Weber college tripled the school's bond drive objective of $15,000, the price of a trainer plane for some branch of the armed forces. The drive, sponsored by the Associated Women students of Weber, netted $52,000, more than three times the proposed amount. That sum is the actual amount of money handled through the college bond booth and not the maturity value of the bonds. Well Pleased Barbara Singleton, president of the Associated Women Students, stated that Weber college is well pleased with the support that Ogden firms have given this contest. Such enthusiastic cooperation has Such enthusiastic cooperation has been given the bond drive and the queen contestants that Miss Mae Welling announced a continuance of the contest for two weeks. The contest will close o March 3 at 5 p. m. All bonds and stamps purchased up until that time will apply as votes for the candidates. The ballot method with each twenty-five cent value in stamps or bonds equaling one vote is still in effect. Lovely Bond Queens Of the six lovely bond queen candidates, Luciel Wright, Marian Lois Smith, Dantzel McCann, Vola Wyatt, Florence White, and Jean Schmidt, one will be crowned at the freshman coed queen dance March 3. Luciel Wright and Marian Lois Smith have been in the lead during most of the contest. Latest tabulations show contestants standing in this order: Luciel Wright, Marian Lois Smith, Vola Wyatt, Florence White, Dantzel McCann and Jean Schmidt. Most of these girls have led at one time or another during the contest. The six girls' social clubs have given fine support to their candidates. Club members and pledges have canvassed Ogden's business and residential districts to secure pledges for bonds of every denomination, sometimes in $1,000 to $5,-000 amounts. Sociologists Plan Attack on Social Dilemma Kathryn Thornlry, president, called her newly formed Sociology club together Wednesday in the cafeteria for its second meeting, to formulate plans for conducting a survey of the serious juvenile delinquency problem in Ogden. The survey was suggested by Walter Neville, club adviser, out of his experience on the Ogden municipal committee dealing with this serious problem. The Ogden committee Is sponsored by City Commissioner Harold Welch, Central high school teacher elected to the commissioner position last fall election on a platform for meeting the juvenile problem. A primary object of Commissioner Welch and his committee Is to get young people to assist In dealing with the problem, the hope being that they will be able to add something to the solution of a social ill adults have ignored or been unable to handle. Sociology club officials report that last month there were nearly 140 cases of serious juvenile offenses in Ogden. An analysis of the juvenile court records shows that these offenders are not chiefly the children of newcomers to the community. They come from Utah families in the main and they have religious affiliation. Officers of the club, elected February 19, in addition to the president, are: June Lefgren, vice president; Grace Stone,secretary-treasurer, and Opal Hone, reporter. City Attorney Awards Medal to Scoffield Sons of Revolution Sons of the Revolution oratorical contest, sponsored by the Utah chapter, represented by Mr. Dcrrah Van Dyke, presented a medal to Lou Jean Scoffield, winning speaker, at the Tuesday assembly. The other finalist was Shirley Cunnington. The contest was judged by Mr. Harold Handlcy, Miss Lucy Denning and Miss Wilma Grose of the Weber college staff. Mr. Van Dyke said that the Sons of the Revolution would like to make the event an annual contest. He expressed himself as being pleased with the support the students had given the contest and the manner in which it had been conducted. i i |
