Show THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21. 1943 WEBER COLLEGE SIGNPOST, Now Freshie Tells Sophs What to Wear In New Fashion Feature By Betty Coons Gunny sacks! What will the female species of the college race think up next? Could it be that rationing has hit some of them hard? Gunny sacks, flour sacks, shoe shine rags, and drab colorless apparel were what the well-dressed freshman gal donned as she observed freshman week at Weber. Yes, the popular fall wear for the "little tots" was far from flattering. How these upperclassmen can be so inhuman is beyond me, (a mere freshman). We can "thank our lucky stars" that freshman week only hits this campus once a year. Since freshman week is on our book of memories, what say we leave it there? Even with a war on, what the-f well dressed college Miss will wear this year hasn't changed too much for the worse. The pet sweater, which is the size 40 or 42 Sloppy Joe style will always and always be in demand. Novelty knits such as the ski sweater and plaids rank second to the beloved Sloppy Joe. Or, for sweaters, have you ever tried snitching your best beau's collection? Try it sometime, you are liable to find just what you have been looking for. Oh how he may protest! But soon you have him on his knees singing, "Lay That Pistol Down, Babe." Now that the supposedly "weaker sex" rules, or practically rules, Weber, you gals can do pretty much as you like. Am I right? Skirts Vary A variety of skirts are still the biggest demand for school. The skirts, although not so full as before, prove quite flattering and the skimping on material isn't noticed. One- and two-piece dresses are also holding their own on the campus. Bright plaids, wool jerseys, lovely corduroys, and hounds-tooth check are all the go don't ask me where they are going. Saddles, moccassins and sloppy, comfortable shoes are also a must on every college gal's list. After brousing around a Lttle, I have drawn the conclusion that wooden shoes of any sort aren't as popular in this section of the country as in others, but everyone to their own taste. Then too, there may be the question of 'the stamp number 18 bothering some of you it does bother you, doesn't it? Coats Are Nuts Campus coats might include most anything from soup to nuts. Oops, pardon, this is a fashion column and not an article on "Six quick steps to being a good cook." Fall sports coats vary according to the person wearing them. Some prefer the ever popular camel hair box coat, others the chesterfields which come in a host of colors. Reversible raincoats are useful as well as stylish. The reverse side may come in gaudy plaids, red, green, or beige, or many other combinations. Then, too, the plain raincoat ranks high on the ladder of popularity with the average girl. Lined or unlined, full length or three-quarter length, they come in natural, blue andattention-getting red. There is a new style of a raincoat that has been adopted by a number of girls and seems to be a growing favorite, and that is the white coat. Very nice. When the cold weather really starts and you begin to haul out your red flannels, a teddy bear coat would be a nice and comfy thing to own. There are so many colors and prices to choose from that almost any of you should be able to find one to suit your taste and budget. This is enough rambling on about campus fashion this time, so let's turn to the topic of fads. Do you recall, those are the little things that everyone tries to outdare everyone else in wearing. In this case the last one who tries the fad is a fuddy-duddy. Just to mention a few for example, ..iiniiiiiiiniin'miiiiimnniininimtiiiiniiiininiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiitinimmmmminimmminit. Walter A.

They returned Sunday from El Monte with three bucks and one doe. To Remain Open SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 20 (AP) The navy convalescent hospital at Sun Valley, Idaho, is proving highly satisfactory and will remain open throughout the winter, Rear Admiral E. I. Woods of San Francisco said during a stopover while en route to the Sun Valley hospital. He is inspecting navy medical facilities in the west and Alaska. how about bright colored feathers for the hair, big and gaudy lapel pins for your suit or sweater. Loud socks (hate to admit it but they are more or less adopted from the boys) flashy plaids, and bright striped affairs are eccepted. Embroidered mittens or the nice and fuzzy ones are always acceptable on the campus. Johnny Jeep hats, in bright red or Kelly green, Dutch girl hats in colorful wool, jockey caps, and beanies are all the rage for campus wear. Well, gals, I guess this is it. Hope you have benefited by these ramblings on, if you have, here's a tip to you good women, read this column next issue. Boy and Girl of the Week . . . Melva Campbell and King Durkee, student officers, who are given special honor by Signpost society editors. Staff Selects Campbell And Durkee for Week's Outstanding Girl and Boy Melva Campbell and King Durkee-f were selected the outstanding girl and boy of this week by the Signpost staff. We think Melva is outstanding just about any time and any place. Slie proved her popularity last year at Weber when she was elected freshman vice-president, and later vice-president of the stu dent body. Her beauty is re- nowned as making her eligible for : the title of 1943 Excelsior girl. Then her executive ability came into play this summer when she acted as student body president in the absence of Junior Blair, until someone else (namely, Jay Olson) was elected. She is intelligent and charming, and not only that, but we hear she can also tap dance like a trouper. Sophvita Nymphs Hold Misfit Halloween Party Sophvita rushees enjoyed a Halloween party. Thursday evening at the home of Dorothy Cardon, club alumna. A clever arrangement of burnt-edged invitations, written in lemon juice were issued to freshman girls Halloween decorations displayed throughout the douse carried out the theme of the rush party. Rushees who came in misfit clothes had a glorious time when they were entertained with many games and hunted for peanuts. Prizes were presented to the winners of the games and the winner of the most original outfit, after which refreshments were served. Club members who are making arrangements for a formal tea which is going to be given in the near future are Margaret Ann MeCracken, president; Blanche Chamberlain, vice - president - reporter; Helen Spierman,secretary-historian; Ruth Hood, treasurer; Marguerite Knighton, Doris Duncan, Haruko KatO, and Miss Wilma Grose, club sponsor. Rushees who received invitations to the party are Mell Wardle, Harriet Sorensen, Eva Crangle, Althea Andelin, Bonnie Lou Decker, Lorna Grix. Margaret Birjnie, Luana Collins, Melba Barker, Elaine Pitt, Grace Stone, Roma Church, Virginia Trump, Lucille and Louise Larson, Edna Schow, Kathleen Dur-rant, Barbara Peterson, Vanda Carter, Felice McKennon, Virginia Pohl, Louise Stringham, Shirley Barnett, Marjorie Rhodes, Marianne Hickenlooper, Pat Critchlow, Marian Watkins, Ruth Belnap, Helen Harding, Judy Hilton, Lillian Rogers, Kathryn Thornley, Elaine McEntire, Enel Warden, Marian Stevens, Irena Sessions, Evelyn Wiggins, Maurine Giles, Pauline West, Elaine Lindquist, Myrene Greenwell, Ann Winters, Marilyn Smith, Thelma Atkinson, Marilyn Kingston, Mariam Lee, Bernice Kendal, Ellen Dame, Barbara Martin, Shirley Luddington, and Catherine Whetton. WACS Will Serve Under State Flags SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 20 (AP) Welcomed in ceremonies in the Utah capitol's senate chamber, newly-enrolled members of the women's army corps of Utah and Idaho will serve under their state flags. Major W. L. H. Osborne, commanding officer of the Utah recruiting and induction center, administered the oath to the first recruits from the two states enrolled in the national campaign to obtain 70,000 WACs between Sept. 27 and Dec. 7. Mrs. G. L. Jenkins, of Malad, wife of the Idaho state commissioner of finance, represented Idaho Governor C. A. Bottolfsen and presented the Gem state recruits their state flag. Governor Herbert B. Maw gave the Utah women their state flag. The women will receive their basic training in state groups, as far as that method is practical. Among the Idaho recruits were four from Pocatello, Fern M. Gum-mersall, Dolores A. Later, Dorothy Jensen and Mar L. Letellier; Bernice Brown of Ovid, and Agnes Motyka of Nampa. The Utah cnrollees included two from Ogden, Marjory M. Lee and Edna J. Redeagle, - King, our student body treasurer, is one of our favorites, too. For once the Signpost staff was really pleased to find we had made an error in our last issue, when King returned from the "clutches" of the U. to spend at least one more quarter here at Weber. We're glad he's back because he's an all around student, (he made grades last year that won for him the Howard D. Merrill memorial scholarship), he's a good debater, and he's a swell fellow to have around. When he flashes that famous Durkee smile, the troubled world seems to turn on its orbit to face the sun. And maybe that's why his pretty misiz thinks he's so nice, too. SOCIETY EDITORS Dorm Girls Elect Officers at Next Meeting Activities at the Weber college girls' dorm are getting under way with a great start this year. Already that familiar theme, "Eleven o'clock, girls. Lights out," has been ringing in their ears. Yes, things are rolling right along. Miss Welling, who has been acting as house mother, is full of ideas and the girls are all enthusiastic about them. At the next regular Monday night meeting officers for the dorm will be elected and they will begin plans for a dorm assembly to be presented before the student body. Other plans for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas parties are being formed. The girls now "stationed at the dormitory barracks" are Doris Farrell, Helen Spierman, Marianne Hickenlooper, Bonnie Clay, Virginia Lee Pohl, Shirley Burrows, Vanda Carter, Kathleen Durant, Edna Schow, Janice Felt, Connie Jensen, Barbara Peterson and Betty Lou Lamoreaux. Check Autos for Passenger Loads Another in the series of spot-checks on the number of passengers in each car being driven to and from Hill Field was completed during the past week. Patrolmen took the counts as cars were being parked, on all shifts. When cars carrying less than the capacity load of passengers were observed, the patrolmen listed the license number and the type of gas ration book used by the driver. Survey returns are then submitted to the rationing unit, Employe Relations branch, where they are checked on each driver's record. When new application for gas rationing is made, these records will have a direct bearing upon whether or not the application is approved. eopw. WW ev nea somcc. wc: t. w: wet or s: pkt.-oft.
