Do you ever wonder how long it takes to count the ballots after the polls are closed following an election here at school? Well it usually takes, about five minutes. An example is the election held last week for sophomore representative to board of control, a measely 100 students out of the 500 sophomores enrolled at Weber had time to walk through the gym, stop for one minute, just one, mind you, and cast their vote. Why is it students, why aren't you more interested in who runs your student body at Weber? Are you going to continue in this rut of not voting throughout life? Don't you want to have voice in who runs your school, city, state, etc.? Ask yourself this question, do you have a right to gripe about an official's policy in office if you were physically able to vote against him and failed to do so? A group of people do not deserve a better form of government that they themselves are not interested in helping make. Freshman elections will be coming up next week. Now I ask you freshmen, are you going to let a few of your 700 freshmen elect your officers for this school year? Vote! Don't get in this same rut that the soph's seem to have slipped in around here. If it's possible for you to vote, and you neglect to do so, be it school, city or state, you deserve the officials you get, corrupt or otherwise. You've been told all your life it's your duty as a citizen to vote. Well, you stop and think awhile, if the statement doesn't make sense then neither do you.

Home of Nationally Famous Brands Cordially Invites You to make their store Your Shopping headquarters Ogden's Most Complete Department Store A Word To The Wise By Jim Bonner In an attempt to heed the demands of an ardent female fan of mine, who requested that I drop dead, I found considerable difficulty arose in determining in which state I already existed. I was feeling fine until I asked Mr. Hayes to differentiate between living and dead and he pointed out two or three hundred sure fire ways of establishing the former and then bounded back with as many to disprove it. Seems its quite a feat in actually determining whether some joker is alive or not Note to English teachers: Those students in that back row aren't really dead. Just mighty low respiration. Congrats Congrats to the band for the classy skit presented at the Weber-Glendalle game. Definitely original. There were several unfavorable comments coming from the audience concerning your marching though. They seemed to think it was a little rough around the edges. How 'bout that? Ain't some people spooks? Handybook Several shfagers have asked me what is the Handybook and when they will be able to obtain same. As I get it, the Handybook contains the address and telephone number listed alphabetically, of all registered students at Weber college,Doing a bit of sleuthing, I came up with these facts. It will be out between this year and next or immediately thereafter. You will be able to obtain your copy at any available location where they have Handybooks, providing you meet all the requirements which will be published at a later date. This should enlighten all interrogations on that matter. If not, address all inquiries to the Head of Research and Information Regarding the Weber college Handybook and send them to the Signpost. They will then be carefully considered for originality and information desired and promptly forgotten.THE SPORTSMAN'S CREED THE PLAYER: He lives clean and plays hard. He plays for the love of the game. He wins without boasting, he loses without excuses and he never quits. He respects officials and accepts their decisions without question. He never forgets that he represents his school. THE COACH: He inspires in his boys a love for the game and the desire to win. He teaches them that it is better to lose fairly than to win unfairly. He leads players and spectators to respect officials by setting them a good example. He is the type of man he wants his boys to be. THE OFFICIAL: He knows the rules. He is fair and firm in all decisions. He calls them as he sees them. He treats players and coaches courteously and demands the same treatment for himself. He knows the game is for the boys and lets them have the spotlight. THE SPECTATOR: He never boos a player or official. He appreciates a good play no matter who makes it. He knows that the school gets the blame or the praise for his conduct. He recognizes the need for more sportsmen and fewer "sports." Meet Sonny Bray Weber's friendly spirit paid off again this year in the form of a friendly Hawaiian student Sonny Bray. Although an injury has handicapped Sonny the past year, it has not altered his accomplishments in athletics. He was born at Hilo, Hawaii, where he spent most of his childhood. In 1941 he moved from Hilo to Honolulu where he worked for naval construction as a diver. In his spare time he worked in the machine room. While working there one day with his friend, his unfortunate accident occurred. It all happened in a split second when the operator of the machinery, thinking that the two had completed their work, started the mechanism. Catching Sonny's friend unaware inside of the machine, Sonny leaped toward the machine, pushing his friend out of the way, but he himself was unable to pull his arm back in time to avoid injury. The machine came clashing down, fevering his right hand and wrist.
