Pomeroy, Jay Livingood New Spirit (Continued from Page 1, Col. 3) Some administrators look upon out of class activities as being a necessary nuisance, a nuisance which is really not a part of the regular school program. At Weber college we take just the opposite point of view. We define the curriculum as all of the experiences that the student undergoes while he is under the supervision of the institution. This definition includes the out of class activities as part of the school program and gives them recognition along with the class work. A survey of the objectives of 40 four-year colleges and universities in the Northwest Association of High Schools and Colleges reveals that the acquisition of factual information in our higher institutions is achieved through a carefully worked out program of studies in which the student spends most of his time but that there are other objectives just as important as intelect-ual achievement such as ethical character, learning the ways of democracy and cooperative endeavor which leave no carefully worked out program aimed at their accomplishment. They are'1 rarely taught in the regular classes. They are given only incidental emphasis in classes not related to the fields and in extra-curricular activities. If, then, some of the most important objectives of a college are left to be "caught" through student activities immediately take their place as a vital part of the college program. For these reasons I am very happy to see that through our brilliant student leadership and planning, our out of class activities this yeaf are off to such a good start. It is the purpose of the faculty and students to make out of Weber college a model of democracy and become capable of self-government by the time they leave. We want a school that is a "nursery of principle and of honor," a school composed of 100 per cent enlightened citizens who seek above all else to preserve and to improve our democracy. We want a school where there is joy in hard work, devotion to responsibility, dedication to rapid wholesome self-government, respect and affection for each other and a willingness to share. These virtues will make us worthy of freedom and mold us each year into a singing, happy family where there is zest in doing and joy in living. 6 In Ogden, It's Ben Rich . . .

JJ, J'S. -SJ"- SSK SxTNvl -'W JJ Pep Rally By Ann Lund The wildly cheering crowd was yelling, "Onward". And onward I was pushed, While all around me rushed The noisy throng. The leaders formed a long and swerving snake-line. And in it. I became Bedraggled, hot, and lame; And some one laughed. The boy who led the yells made frantic gestures. And in my pounding ears Came hoarse and frantic cheers For victory. A freshman cap of green and white lay trampled. The band blared loudly on, And someone yelled, "come on! The rally's over!" The Dean of Men announces that over one hundred housing units with and without board are now available to students. Any student desiring luusing should contact Dr. Stratford in the Dean of Men's office. Women Spectators or 'Wot Happen?' By Jim Bonner The curiousity of this writer is deeply aroused in the complex ma-chanism taking place in the cranium of the rather mysterious fe-mals while in attendance at a football game. In an endeavor to make it a little easier for the harassed male escort to understand the wandering thoughts of the wily female as she gazes at the field of play in an abstract manner, I will list a few essentials that must be taken into consideration in order to enjoy the football game: Don't Lose Hope Veterans, don't be discouraged if those subsistance checks don't come in as promptly as you would like them to. Due to the overburdening of the veteran office at the start of the fall quarter, they may be a little delayed in some cases. The bulk of the checks will be received between September 31 and October 15 for regular registrants. Veterans that registered after Sep-tembed 21 will reveive their September and October checks combined. This will be at the first of November. For those registering after the 21st of September, payments will be made at 5-day intervals. This is only for a special group, however.No tracers will be sent out on overdue checks for a period of 60 days. " 1. First thing that ail females must immediately do upon arrival at the game is instantly notice what the other five or six thousand ladies in attendance are wearing. This then calls for several moments of sly and subtle derogatory remarks about the various costumes and articles of attire the other young ladies are unfortunately wearing. 2. At this stage of the evening, the ball game has now commenced and should attract devoted attention from every loyal fan, but in the case of les femmes. this is an impossibility as they are busily arranging the position of all their acquaintances categorically in their mind so at later periods in the game they can turn and shout endearing remarks to each other. 3. Now the young lady has found a companion sitting next to her with whom she can discuss all the events of the past several years. Suddenly Weber makes a touchdown which lights off the spontaneous question from your next door neighbor, "Wot hoppen?" You must then go into a lengthy recourse of every play up to and including the touchdown. Solution: Go stag. Weber Forum Dear Editor ' Just how does a student get information about the social clubs at Weber? It seems that most of the clubs sent out their first rushes and had their parties before school had started. What do theout-of-town-ers do if they wish to join a club and how about those who don't know any soph'S in a club???? I'm sure ar. article about the whens and hows of joining a social club would" be appreciated by all! Sincerely, Shirl Dear Shirl All girls who wish to join a social club are invited to a tea to be held Sunday, October 9 from three to five o'clock in the Bertha Eccles hall. The tea is given by all the girls' social clubs at Weber. Not until after the tea will the second rushes to any club be given. Editor Dear Editor, This year Weber college should take a step forward in its social activities. Dancing is a pleasure, a past-time, and an art. Students should be made to recognize this fact and interest should be created in it. The general trend in dancing in the last ten years has been degenerative. The dance as it is known today is nothing but variations on the waltz step. In order to create new. interest in dancing we should hold more square dances. Square dancing has more step, involves more dancers, and gives pleasure to a greater number of people than any other type of dancing. It does away with "wall flowers," embarrassment, and the necessity of requesting a dancepartner. Square dancing is the coming thing on college campuses throughout the nation. Weber college should be a leader in this. , J. R. Wolter. Dear Editor: As one of a definitely smaller "army" of veterans on the campus this year, I should like to suggest some sort of organization for us waifs. It is my understanding that such a group is not at this time formally organized at Weber. If this is so, then I'm sure others in my position would welcome a chance for fraternization. All you swabbys, paddlefeet, bellhops, hooligans (me) let's all get together and argue as to who contributed the most. I find that my likes and dislikes don't run the same as most of my fellow freshmen, are your's? By banding together we can find a little more in common, send a note to the Signpost, let me know your attitude. Robert L. Jones. Don't Miss . . . Weber's Social Center, the Q CI.

Social Committee Chairman Jim Valentine Consultation Planned For Frosh Students Dr. Stratford announced that in the near future, each freshman will have an advisor assigned to him. This advisor will be one of the faculty, and students are to feel free to consult him at any time with any problem that tley may have. It is intended that the assigned advisor will council with you for the two years (hat you will spend at Weber. You are not obliged to keep the same one however. If you feel that there Is someone else that you would rather have, then the Dean of Men will fix it up for you. In addition to your assigned advisor, any of your instructors, the head of your department, the chairman of your division, the Deans, or the President, will be available to assist or advise you. The name of your advisor, and the location of his office, will be mailed to you individually, and the staff requests that each of you take advantage of this opportunity. TALLY OF TIPS URGES PARK AREA CHANGE Use the wastebaskets and don't leave cars unlocked! This advice was offered Weber college students Friday by the Standards committee, composed of students and teachers. Other tips: Write your name in all books (your books, that is); keep lockers locked, use parking lots. Growing traffic congestion about the campus plus neighbor complaints about driveway parking have brought pleas that students keep them clear, also the curb in front of President Dixon's residence to afford a clear view up and down 25th street for pedestrians.Also, students are asked to forego parking in the rear of the vocational building. The practice not only interferes with operation of the shops but also constitutes a fire law violation. The committee urges students to report lost articles to Dorothy Ridges, treasurer's office, who runs a lost and found bureau. It was noted that while buildings and grounds are well kept, tidiness could be improved if students would use waste receptacles oftener. |
