Utah The Next Time You Have Your Formal Cleaned Try Phone 2-5158 Frenesti Bows Out (Continued from Pat;-- 1 after offering to help Whip club members who failed to show up, were accomplished by Frenesti. That is enough samples of what this club TRIED to do, and now for the question, Why did they dissolve?A member of any and all clubs was not only expected to fulfill his obligations to that club and to his studies, were expected to send delegates to be members of Inter-club council, Associated Men Student's Council, The Wildcat or Whip club, and a dozen or so other things that the illustrious heads of school groups could think of for them to do without any help from the originators of these numerous activities. Again, with a limited membership, Frenesti could not carry on its own program and also the programs of the other organizations of the college. The penalty for not belonging to all of these organizations was the black-balling of all of the club's activities. When Frenesti was re-organized, the other clubs and the club administration pledged its aid to all new organizations. Frenesti support from either source was nil. I say this because most of these clubs elected to support Ogden and Weber high school functions rather than back their own football team last quarter until they found that they could get head billing in these games by advertising their efforts on such things and paying money for floats and other things that this smaller club could not afford. Since when do you have to pay cash to have students turn out to sports activities? Promised support from administrative sources has also been nil. That is our argument. Undoubtedly the clubs of this school will kick back with all kinds of superficial excuses, and some will call us liars. It will be hard for them to deny, however, the lack of coopor-ation that they have given Frenesti. "By Golly" SPORTS-CLEAN OR DIRTY Our college and athletics have virtually been blessed with freedom from gambling on events. This blight on American colleges is rather a recent thing. The college campus is regarded as a race track by professional gamblers, a place where advance winnings might be planned and the paying public taking the ride in the end. Weber might thank her lucky stars that we are free of this menace. Events of a gambling nature on campuses have been growing by leaps and bounds in the last four years. The Brooklyn City College incident is one we might regard as a model to avoid. Players were paid and paid well to throw the game against their traditional rival. The mess was uncovered, and folks were furious that state directed funds should sponsor such a fraud. The taxpayer and paying public is the goat and the college receives a black eye that takes years to brighten. Legislation should be passed in this state to end such practices before they start. Gamblers should be greeted with a five-year jail sentence as other states now have pending in their various legislative groups. Gamblers usually select colleges as money-making devices as they are slow to rally and defend themselves against such practices. Utah could and should be known as the state where gambling on school events will not be tolerated. Recurrent gambling on college events can soon keep the public, with their purses, away from stadiums and gymnasiums. This money spent by the sport-conscious public is vital and constantly sought after by schools of every nature. The silent approval and assent of the public on moves of every type is vital to any college's existence. Weber will become more susceptible to this gambling bug as she grows and expands in the future. If legislation were to be effected in the near future to outlaw gambling in and around campuses our now clean slate would always remain that way. Life insurance is too late when the insuree is dead, so let us protect the school before the blight spreads west as it seems to be doing. We, as students, can serve to ward off any similar messes on our own campus by refusing to bet or take part in any "easy money" deals. BEFUDDLED Phone Booths Are Nice By MUDDLE With Hell Week now a thing of the past, it seems safe to start living again if that's possible. At least some of the college students more closely resemble humans this week. Phone booths are nice, handy, cosy, little places, but our idea of a good time isn't to be locked in one with another girl anyway. Just because they can be moved doesn't mean that you strong (?) handsome (??) men (???) need to display your talents by turning the door to the wall. Besides it was embarrassing. Our faces are still red! I Ask You Some things are useless That people make But this useless thing, Really takes the cake. This is a thing We'll never need. Why have fly paper? Flies can't read! Snatched. By special request we reprint some of those "Little Willie" jokes that have been doing the rounds. Willie split the baby's head To see if brains were gray or red. Mother, troubled, said to father, "Children are an awful bother." Little Willie, I want to state, Cut his sisters up for bait. We miss them when its time to dine, But Willie's fish taste simply fine. Willie found some dynamite Couldn't understand it quite. Curiosity never pays, It rained Willie seven days. Willie fell down the elevator Wasn't found till six days later. Then the neighbors sniffed, "Gee whiz! What a spoiled child Willie is!" Joke, We're Told Stem father (Sn rcnslinn 11 v "Zar young man, it's past midnight. Do jwu liujik you can stay nere an . . night?" "Gosh!" exclaimed the innocent young man, "I'll have to telephone mother first." Thank heavens the girls haven't taken up boxing and wrestling yet. From what we've seen, we'd say it was just a trifle rough. Weber really seems to have some good fight material though.

G-Items I i i A survey made last spring by the Veterans administration took in consideration all vets throughout the United States, who were studying under both laws and found that the average course enrolled in, lasted 27 months. This, however, does not include On the Job Trainees. Disabled veterans training under the vocational rehabilitation act chose courses ranging from seven months in service training and 38 months in studying dentistry and medicine. The average length of other courses were Pharmacy 33 months, Engineering 32 months, Liberal arts 32 months. Industrial arts 31 months, Theology 31 months, Business administration 31 months. Dentistry 31 months and Chemistry 30 months. On the Job Trainees within the state of Utah are being trained for everything including butcher, 1 , 1 baker and anything else that goes in the rhyme. The occupation moat called for with trainees within the state is auto-meehanlc and the one least called for is carpenter. New aptitude tests have been sent for. Among these new tests are teaching aptitude, art judgment, musical aptitude, academic and mechanical. Another test called finger dexterity is one in which various uses of the fingers are tested. Structural visualization is another in which efficiency in lining up various objects is tested. Interest may be aroused in the circles of promising writers in our school to hear that a new aptitude test called a literary writing ability will soon arrive. Phi Rho Pi Plans Albion Debate Phi Rho Pi will travel to Albion, Idaho, for a return bout in the fields of debate, Feb. 13. Eighteen students will go. This will be a warm-up for the debate tour which will take Weber debators to Mc-Minville, Oregon, in the latter part of February. Weber proved victorious in the last debate with Albion.
