Lee is to be respected and admired for his efforts toward strict economy in the state government. An efficient government operated economically is to be greatly desired. However, one question presents itself with regard to the governor's economy pleas. Just how far should he carry this economy program? Should 400 students in the second largest area of population in the state be deprived of an opportunity each year of obtaining a higher education? Should the students who are financially able be forced to commute 37 miles to Salt Lake City or 60 to Logan, exposed to hazardous traffic by driving over icy and dangerous roads? During winter safe driving speed between Ogden and Logan should be not over 40 miles per hour. This means four hours of the day are spent traveling to and from school. Three hours each day will be spent traveling by the students who commute to Salt Lake City. Should this obstacle be placed in the path of our young people who honestly want to become better educated so to become better citizens? Should out of state students be allowed the.low tuition rates of our state universities when our own students are not able to take advantage of the same tuition rates because of the financial disability to live away from home or the almost unsurmountable obstacle of commuting? Because the answer to these questions are no, the supporters of the Weber college exansion program will continue to fight for it. Two defeats have been met one in the house of representatives and another by a veto but the third attempt or the tenth attempt will prove successful. Weber college has always been operated efficiently and economically. The cost of operation of Weber has been less per student than at any other state school. Therefore would it not be good business sense both from an economical and efficient viewpointfor the state to invest its money where it will do the most good per dollar invested. nullum mi nullum l ill urn lit liiKiiiilnliiliilitlillQ Modern Shoe Repair HEADQUARTERS FOR FINE SHOE REPAIR 2560 Wash.

Just go back from Siberia, an extended vacation bad to recover a few pledges after "Hell Week," courtesy the Signpost. Boy, were they disappointed when they had to come back so much warmer there you know. Things are really humming around W. C. these days. With the legislature on our side, we certainly can't let up that P-U-L-L for a four-year college. With a grand guy like "Daddy" Dixon at the helm how can we miss? L. D. (La Dianaeda, to you illiterates) came up Vith a new-twist this week "A Date With Dad" sounds nice, huh? But let's hope that they're easier to persuade than the boys around "Ye Olde Knowledge Mill." But then you can always bring up the heredity angle it works every time. Besides give your mother an evening out with the girls for a change (Dad, too). The "date-bait" is a chicken dinner, and you if your lucky enough to have your Dad convinced without twisting his arm. Contact L. D. girls for any further information. P. S. You'll get the bill at the end of the month, Elaine. Now a few helpful (?) suggestions:Don't let this happen to you . Father, I regret to state, Cut his . daughters up for bait. We miss them when it's time to dine, But father's fish taste mighty fine. Watch those brothers, too. Into the cistern little Willie Pushed his little sister Lily. Mother couldn't find her daughter;Now we sterilize our water. Little Willie hung his sister; She was dead before we missed her. Willie's always up to tricks. Ain't he cute? He's only six. DAFFYNITIONS (We hope.): Bostonian An American, broadly speaking. Budget A method of worrying Steve's Office Supply School Supply Headquarters 416 - 26th Street my Valentine for Weber of the Native By E. Lou before you spend instead of after ward. Committee A body that keeps minutes and wastes hours. Commuter A traveling man who pays short visits to his home and office. Detour The roughest distance between two points. Epitaph A statement that usual ly lies above about the one who lies below. Firmness That admirable qual ity in ourselves that is detestable stubborness in someone else. That's it for now. See you around. Phi Rho Pi Initiates New Members Phi Rho, national forensic or ganization held an iniation for new members last week.

GEOLOGY Here is a typical conservation that goes on in my Geology laboratory between two rock-heads while trying to solve a problem. (I must admit that it is a little exaggerated.)"Hematite! What are you limo-niteing and magnetitcing about?" "Plagioclase, and you?" "Oh, serpentine around the olivine, but pyroxene around the amphibole." "Garnet! I can't find the rhyolile, but I'll have to in order to dior-ite!""Does it have a cleavage?' "No." "Well,, does it have any granite in it?" "No." "Is it porphyritic or equigranu-lar?""Yea, I think it's porphyrithic." "Well, fella, don't be such a gabbro, we've got it!" "What??" "A block of cement, you stoop, just a block of cement!" BIOLOGY Phylum XI Arthropoda, Class IV Insecta (bugs to you) brings you . . . ODE TO A FLEA. I think that I shall never see, A bug that's smarter than a flea; Tiny fleas that can jump una fly, And live on dogs until they die; A flea is fast and always on guard, Which makes catching them extremely hard. A flea that runs from end to end, And makes a dog its nicest friend; A flea that trots through a field of hair, . He is a stor at a County Fair; My eyes were made for me to see, But still I can't catch that doggone flea! Regal Cleaners !
