Show THE SIGNPOST THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1940 "Get a girl for Bob, and a girl for got." Why All the Feuds In School? Redheads Seem to Be Jinks By MILLICENT Notice to blondes and brunettes under five-foot-three: Ray Wright and Delmar Stone are looking for new jitterbug partners. You have to be nice tempered and able to put up with a lot of nonsense, they report. Redheads seem to be a jinks; so they can save a lot of time by not applying for the positions. Why all of the feuds in school? Is it because the frosh have been keeping two or three on the string and they're beginning to find out? How is that Shaw-Stoddard romance coming along? Betty Lu seems to fit into the picture somewhere. Donna still has a string on Kay, the heart throb of every girl at Weber. Reed Coray shocked everyone, including himself, at a recent jivefest by appearing with a girl from Inglewood, California. Bet you can't even remember her name now that La Von is concentrating, can you, Coray? Junior Stevens has been seen a lot at the "U" lately. Why doesn't he give us a chance? It wouldn't be nearly so expensive. Mayfield, Draper, and Page are wondering what happened to their roommate, Bill Warnock, last Thursday night. He didn't come home. Where were you, Willy? Why doesn't Cherry help Stone and Wright get their lessons? Is It because Holmes keeps him up nights? Bader, Clark, and Childs must not have the technique that Nye has. He gets telegrams . . . Doesn't he, Loyal . . . why don't they? Willard Jensen has given up frosh girls since the Signpost came out the last time. Now he has a case on a girl from the home town. But that still isn't giving the sophemales a chance. Orchids have been on Neut's mind ever since high school graduation, but we didn't know he really thought enough of them to dedicate a whole dance to them ... or maybe he's hoping he'll have better luck with them this time. Yes, Ethel likes orchids; don't you, Hogge? We, the associated editors of "scandal" wish to thank "Just A. Sophomore" for her letter. And we agree with her; we are hitting below the belt. But incidentally the six writers of scandal, are a group affiliated with four different girls' clubs, two unaffiliated and, of course, the outside contributors. However, we appreciate your comment. This is your paper, we merely publish it for your benefit. This is your column it should certainly be written as you like it. At Weber college we no longer settle unpleasant difficulties (two boys one girl) with fisticuffs. We flip for her. Don't we Rex? Bety Lou is satisfied and we can certainly see why. Dale Welling, that was a good looking woman 'what yu brung' to the dance. It seems that Marian Fiet had to go to a convention over the week-endand it also seems that several boys were as sad about it as could be. My, oh my, did you see that man with the ball and chain at the dance? It was clever though because he won a prize. Edna Bench looked extra good Friday In her costume; and she won a prize too, say, who was he? Several people were absent from the dance Friday, now what were those two boys names? If you want to pick a winner every time (no, I don't mean a girl,) pick Tarzen. The ones that weren't at the Mardi Gras probably won't know what I'm talking about but then it's their own fault. And if you don't believe me justified in making such a statement, I refer you to Mr. O. M. Clark. Did you, by the way, see that HUNTER at the dance? Yes, the big one and the little one. And besides that, Dr. Dixon slid down the slippery slide, it was fun too. Tommy Toyne, yes we agree with you; she Is stupendous or if that is misspelled) she is just darn good looking. It is rumored that Mnrgaret Peterson receives a letter every day and it isn't from her brother "Pete." By the way , we heard that Barbara and Pete still feel 'that way' even if their school spirit is divided. Well, Beth Pauli, it's in soooo. Anyway it is a long and lasting romance, and I mean lasting. The Unaffiliated . . . With social club bids having been issued, we are aware of two distinct sets on our campus. Those who are club members, and these new pledges are smiling from ear to ear and seem to feel that their future is insured now that they belong to a social organization. We have observed many long faces too. Those students who were not issued bids seem to feel that they are outcasts and complete failures. How foolish they are. May we become more intimate in writing to you who have been left out? For we feel akin to you. We felt sure that you would receive a bid to one of the sets. What with your sunny smile and all, it must be an oversight on someone's part. Perhaps you'll get your bid later. Yes, perhaps you will. But to you who ask why you were invited to the rush parties and then not made a pledge. To you we answer by saying simply this They "sorta" liked you at first ... but well, you know. You just didn't click . . . that was all. We admit this social club business is really something. Of course like everything else it has its points. If you get into one, it's fine and dandy ... We can't help admiring all you members and pledges. My, how neat and attractive you appear in those sweaters and uniforms. There are other things too though, just as important ... or more important. With all the extra-curriculars there should be a place for everyone and an opportunity to become outstanding whether you be a social club member or an unaffiliated. And these activities provide as much or more enjoyment. So let's see you out to the front making a name for yourself, whether you be a socialite or an unaffiliated. What say? Is it a deal? Sociology Club Selects Off, cers At Party Apple cider and doughnuts were served to the Sociology club mem (Dick D O 2E22 Washington Blvd. h.:i W 1:1 Jack, and a boy for the girl we've bers after an evening spent in bowling.

The ringing of the bell is a new precedent which will see its first performance at the next victory of the Weber eleven.
