U. S. Campus Capers Reviewed . . . By DORTHY DYER J M Demos, editor of the Signpost has received a letter from Lloyd B. Schmitt, manager of the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Press association, regarding the annual convention. A tentative date has been set, and the editor was asked to send word of approval. The conference this year will be held at Bozeman, Montana. The board of control has made allowance for six students toattend.

Lull to Be Eliminated It was suggested by a Lawrence, Kansas University student, that nickelodeons be installed to alleviate the boredom of thatbe-fore-the-teacher-enters lull. Proceeds might be used to start an es-culator fund for broken down dread-climbers. Surprise Galore From the Utah Chronicle comes this little item. U. S. A. C. beats Utah, the book store shows a deficit and F. D. R. decides to talk at last. It's an age of surprise. HOW NOT TO SWING THEORIES GET BOOST (Continued from Page One) Definitely Wage-Earning . . Thou Shalt Not . . . Implications of "Men In White," read at last Friday s assembly, call tor some evaiua tion. (1) It is debatable that a doctor has the right to take life, no matter how happy the ending he may bring about. (2) It is wrong (a) to rationalize immor ality and (b) to minimize its seriousness. Conscription . . . Conscription has been on the tongues of our youth during this last summer while the bill was being proposed in the White House. It was discussed loudest when the bill was passed and made a law, but died down, only to surpass the weather in conversations on registration day. We now look forward to the shedding of a few tears at either the loss of our friends through the National Guards, or by a general draft. Our college campus life has been affected very slightly, if any; our activities go on as scheduled without any thought of dread towards the national defense plan. Yet, down in our hearts, we are aware of the fact that we might possibly be called to our training posts; that our loved ones mothers, fathers, and sweethearts might take a year's leave from us. But in view of this, our college youth, as well as the rest of American youths continue living their normal lives, waiting word from Washington. We know the necessity of any plan that Uncle Sam has to propose to protect our liberty ; and we feel honored to prepare ourselves to withstand any move against the freedom of our United States, The attitude of our college fellow is that the year's training would interfere with his college work, but if called, he would willingly go. With this attitude, the future of the freedom of our United States is safe with the youths of today, the leaders of tomorrow. Whistle Does Its Duty From a letter written to the editor of the University Daily Kansan. A student makes known his appreciation for the whistle which blasts at the class dismissal hour. With this aid it is impossible he says, for the over-zealous or long-winded professor to compete with the steam howler so the university classes are dismissed on time rather than being held over as they usually are, when there is only a timed little bell. Student Life Advice to freshman: Never try to kiss a girl either kiss her or don't. You can't tell about a woman and if you can, don't. The girl who does everything under the sun always has shadows under her eyes. possibly be, flunking your exams, never doing your assignments, or never coming to class. I would rather, however, point out the pertinent issues the things that don't count (with the professor) required In not swinging an "A." I have tabulated a few of these In simple form applicable to all. 1. Always start the course right. Call the teacher's bluff the first day. Don't let him feed you. 2. Keep the old tongue wagging. Never let the teacher think you know anything by keeping your mouth shut. Remove all doubt. 3. Don't act dumb. Your professor knows that. 4. Always call the professor by his first name or by his nick name. Ex.: "Hiya Bunch," or "Howdy Stubby." 5. If you see your name up for the Dean's team, don't go to him. Make him come to you. You've made a down payment on your tuition. Let him worry. 6. If the teacher tells you to make a special report, don't do it. This is a democracy. If he doesn't know, let him look it up himself. 7. Always leave class before the bell rings. The professor loves it. 8. Girls! Wear a straight jacket. Certain teachers grade on the normal curve system. 9. Don't do the little tricks you learned in high school, such as. throwing spit-balls, putting your gum on the teacher's seat, throwing erasers, and sleeping in class. These aren't worth bothering with. Even in the long run you couldn't be dropped any more than from an "A" to "F." 10. Sass your teacher. Give him h. This is a free country. These are but a few of the numerous methods that can be used in FALL DRAMA CAST SELECTED (Continued from Page One) very exciting and interesting scenes take place. A ship, unmanned and sailing without lights, is gliding noiselessly across the River Styx and when one of the passengers asks the steward whether they are bound for heaven or hell, the steward, Scrubby, answers, "Both It's the same place you see." Such is the setting of Weber college's fall play, "Outward Bound," by Sutton Vane. Mr. Allred and a splendid cast are putting forth "Not Swinging an 'A.' " Simple combinations of these ten rules will almost assure the proper results. Concrete examples of these methods can easily be obtained from any social club, member or pledge. If. perchance, you would like some idea as to what tactics to avoid towards getting an "A" consult Earl Tanner. If you cannot, by usage of these ten simple rules, learn "How Not to Swing an A," my only advice is, you ought to swing. "All Star." much time and work on this production, so you and your friends can enjoy the evenings of either November, 21, 22 or 23. Here Is a strange company of shipmates, mystified by a vaguely oppressive feeling of uncertainty, suddenly discovers that they are all dead. The play is touched with imagination, sympathy, amusement, and many tense moments. You'll enjoy the remarks of Mrs. Clivenden Banks, the forwardness of Mr. Lingley, and the subtleness of the examiner. Kindly Mrs. Midget will steal into your heart and you'll remember her for days after. Tom Prior will win your sympathy. Henry and Ann will show you what true love it. The Reverend Duke knows what it is to have something taken and then returned, and Scrubby the man who knows what it all means.

TEACHERS' ASSEMBLY HELD SUCCESS (Continued from Page One) group requirements and then specializing is a good procedure in college education. Mr. Hurst stated that over-educated people are undesirable. He termed such people as highbrows and defined them as "persons who are educated beyond their educational capacities." Mr. C. H. Anderson stated that education should provide for, one, the control of life in terms of body, mind, and proficiency. Secondly, it should provide for enjoyment of life through appreciation of art, culture, nature, and riendship. Thirdly, education should provide for an understanding of life by giving a knowledge of history, which in turn gives us a heritage of the past, science, world conditions, and religion.Mr. Ralph S. Gray stated that one aspect of an ideal education is the training of the mind to think. What we need today is an ideal education that will cause people to think along quite new lines. Such an education implies continuous, sustained growth. The ideal education is that education which makes for continuous maturing, refining, and perfecting. These five well-educated men in very different fields thus attempted to give their views on what an ideal education is. I believe that inumerable excellent points were brought out, but I also believe it impossible for anybody to begin to cover such a subject in five minutes.Nevertheless the majority of the Show Cooperation! SUPPORT THE SIGN POST ADVERTISERS Some Don't; Then Again Some Do Dear Profs.: After the bell is over, After the class is through, Why must you keep us waiting, When there's so much to do? When there's a scant five minutes To get to our next class? Lockers are hard to open And minutes are bound to pass. And though you keep on talking, Outside the hallways jam; None of us ever listen, All of us want to scram. There is time for working, There is time to play; Save what you have to tell us, There'll be another day. We can t help being restless, After five minutes to; Friends must be talked of, And library books are due. After the bell has rung, After the class is done, Dear Prof., if you keep me waiting Some day 1 11 break and run. Things would be a lot more cozy, Life in this college swell, If you would only cease lectures AFTER THE BELL. Respectfully yours, Frank D. Greenwell.

All who wish their pictures to be in the yearbook, but who for some reason haven't had them taken as yet should do so at once. Loveland studio on Twenty-fourth and Adams is the place. Fifty cents is the price. Dear Editor; This is the beginning of my fourteenth year in school. Now, when I should be planning my career, my future, I find it all a bit hazy. My hopes and plans are tottering and even falling, one by one because of this uncertainty. I strongly resent the way Hitler has killed plans and rendered my future unpredictable. I really cannot see why he had to come now when I want to live my own life. You see, if I were older, I would have found my life's work. Then all I would fear was change. If I were younger I would not worry because the future would be decided when I came to it someone else would have planned it. Now, however, I see myself drawn between two strong desires One is to plan my future accord' ing to present desires without a thought to the changes so soon to take place. The other is to sit by and await developments. With so much talk about the draft it is little wonder everybody is trying to plan life and leave one year out. How can college students with all of their visions and dreams of successful doctors, lawyers, busi ness executives, senators, plan when between these ambitions this uncertainty I so much resent? Maybe it will create new jobs new industries, new lffe. But after the war scare, then what? Just more debt, more poverty, more unemployment, and more uncertainty How can we find the niche we fit into best if that niche keeps changing places and shapes just when we feel we fit? Every person on earth has the right to life, liberty and happiness according to our constitution. The only way we can get that is to have peace and certainty. If men would be satisfied to be mere men and stop playing God then we would have a chance to work out a plan to insure security I'm not asking for Utopia; all I want 15 a chance to live. Hoping, Almira Heslop. students became very interested as was shown by their responses when the forum was thrown open for questions and answers. A thing to be noted on similar occasions in the future, however, is that the faculty members in the audience more or less monopolized the time theoretically reserved for thestudents. C. A. A. Enrollment Not Yet Reached Thrills, romance, adventure. Yes men, that awaits you when you enroll for the C. A. A. class now being offered at Weber college. Al ready 20 students are now actually flying and looking at the world from the skies. Up to the present date about 25 students have passed their final physical examinations, and seven students have passed their prelim inary examinations. The quota set. for the course is 40 students. Ac cording to Dr. Robert E. Clarke there still remains an opening for more students who wish to take the course. So here is the oppor tunity you have been waiting for men; a chance to learn to fly. Any student wishing to apply for the course should check the requirements by seeing Dr. Clarke. The ground school which is part of the C. A. A. flight training will open in the near future. cheers, or for "cradle-snatching" as was phrased in the article. I say again that we are more than glad to find that someone had gumption enough to tell us where we stand. I'm sure that the anony mous writer will be glad to know that for three weeks the pep nucleus of this school has been working diligently to get some new Weber college yells. For this pur pose we have received handbooks from four of the biggest and peppiest student bodies in the U S., namely, Stanford, University of California, University of Southern California, and Notre Dame. We have a new entire book published on yells alone, and from this and the handbooks we hope, or rather intend to .glean the foundations upon which to build the finest yells this school has ever had. All we need now is the aforesaid gumption of this student body to get behind and boost these cheers till the raft ers and the victory bell ring in the championship of Weber college How about it? Can every loyal student in this great institution willingly lend his whole-hearted support to this common cause? Sure we can 14 And so help me, we're going to make that victory bell ring out through the heart of every loyal supporter the glory that his support helped bring We ber college. Sincerely, A Hopeful Cheerleader. Faculty Group II II c noias oeminar "Philosophy In English Literature of the Last Century," was the title of the address given by Professor Leland H. Monson at the first of a series of seminars held at the home of Mr. M. L. Stevenson last Thursday evening at seven-thirty. A number of interesting bits of philosophy," stated Professor Monson, "appear In the English literature during the last half century. "A philosophy of pessimism ap pears, due in part to a loss of faith in Christian religion, which was in turn due to the popularizing of the 'Theory of Evolution,' as advanced by Darwin. A philosophy of hope is also revealed in the writings of Browning to Tennyson. A tone of sincerity and an appeal for the spiritual life as presented by Carlyle is apparent too. "Existing in addition," concluded Professor Monson, "is a philosophy of idealism; a philosophy regarding fortitude; a philosophy regarding women in public, and a philosophy that is rather critical of science, insisting that science will ultimately destroy the civilization which it has built." Mr. M. L Stevenson, chairman, Miss Dorothy Coleman and Mr. Whitney Young comprise the seminar committee. "The purpose of the seminar," stated Professor Monson, "is to acquaint instructors who are so tied up with their own fields that they seldom have a chance to look into the other phases of cultural and vocational education that are taught at the college with these other fields." Professor Monson further stressed in a personal interview that if only 20 or 30 persons were in attendance at each seminar, the venture would be worthwhile. There were, however, 82 members of the faculty and their wives present at the first seminar held last Thursday. "It is the hope of the seminar committee," added Professor Monson, "to hold two seminars each quarter." Dear Sir: Why the downright unkind re marks in the scandal column?
