Show Page 2 SIGNPOST February 21, 1961 WILDCAT'S WEEK DullVJeeFi Turned ut Fun if: I Larry Clark, Mike Farrell and Gary Jackson were among- the students who traveled to Las Vegas last week, then on to Southern Utah to watch Weber win the ICAC Championship. Team Cheered To Victory By Spirited Supporters By Norman Bramble ' Signpost Associate Editor Last Friday I expected everything to be dull (with the team, band, Colleens, Kaye McGarry and everyone else important gone on the band trip) but at ten o'clock the campus was invaded by 1200 little people (I call them little people because it inflates my ego.) Dr. Monson for the 25th time directed an outstanding tournament. At precisely 10:30 the Signpost office was invaded by two intellectual looking females (vaguely familiar to Shari Bunot and Barbara Davenport during their High School debate years). Each was carrying an array of charts, briefcases and the usual metal file with a Davis High window sticker on it. I quickly made my exit SIGNPOST1NGS nominee Loncj r2ay By Eloise McQuown February is national "heart" : month ... so I thought I'd talk about BIG HEART THROBS of the moment. And where are there " bigger ones than on the Weber Campus the day of the, "Sweetheart"? Nowhere! Let me tell you about the "so much in love" couples I've seen around school. Here's to romance . . . long may it glow. Car Clutchers: Seen constantly in parking lot. They don't need valentines nor music nor a full moon to spur them on. Mopers: Your'e not quite sure if this is - love or illness. Characterized by a fixed stare with hand clasp. Tip to Art students: Subjects provide tremendous opportunity for draw- ing "still life". ) Twin-Toners: They wear twin shirts, twin ski-sWeaters, twin hair cuts. The only problem: Which twin has the Toni? Turtle Doves: They see each other every day (all day) ; they write to each other every night. They cherish such tender things as "souvenier hand prints". "Isn't Love Grand" Pair: They always seek out dark corners (but don't have a chance with Weber's full voltage) You can tell when they're coming because they carry a transistor playing "Em-braceable You". They know' how to hold hands 12 different ways. Passionate PushOvers: Smokers must approach couple with extreme care. Romance is so when they informed me they were going to debate. From there I went to room 441 where I learned why they have separate divisions of debate for the men and women. Willard B. McQuerry has asked me to advise all geology students on campus that he is working on a thesis which will prove conclusively, by carbon dating, that the earth is 6,000 years old. Mel Sowerby would like his name in the paper. Remember to observe "Be Kind To Professors Week (February 26 through 31) and to read when you get a chance,' "The Catcher In The Rye". In closing let us consider carefully a thought for the week: If the shoe fits, sue. It GIov hot it lights matches upon 3-foot contact. Tennis Team: They thrill every time they hear "love" called across the tennis court. Tussling Twosome: They're on again, off again; Lockers provide necessary battlefield and books necessary weapons (look out down the hall) Their song: "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". Intense Twosome: Quote Keat's Poetry and Shakespeare's sonnets to each other over drinking fountain. They talk about idealism and Zen. On Saturdays they practice "Yogi" and hold toes. Last Word: If it's Love that makes the world go around, then Weber must be spinning like a top. Debate Chapter Initiates Twelve The Utah Alpha Chapter of Phi Rho Pi, sponsored by Doctor Monson, initiated twelve new members this month. The new officers are Eileen Grix, president; Corrie Oborn, vice president; Douglas Marker, secretary and treasurer; and Ann Moesinger, historian. All of the new members have participated in at least one intercollegiate speech activity. Anyone interested in joining should contact Dr. Monson, Mr. Green, or one of the members of the debate squad. By Mel Sowerby Signpost Associate Editor Congrats to the best cheering section ever to emimate from W.C. refering of course to the group of Band, Whip, Colleens and Phoenicians who traveled south last Weekend to spend their money. If this group of people were to all of our games with the spirit and enthusiasm that was prevalent at the Dixie and C.S.U. there would be no need for any one else from Weber to attend the Basketball games. The trip started at 5:30 Thursday morning. Feeling that this was such an early hour, most of us didn't bother to go to bed the night before (we were to pay for this later) . Lost Wages Upon arrival in Lost Wages the entire troupe made reservations for such shows as Folies Bergere, Minsky's Follies etc. So it goes without saying that no one went to bed that night. For the most part we lost (money that is), Mike Farrell played for keeps though and ended up keeping over a C-note, so we were partially avenged. Up till now . . . still no sleep. We were supposed to leave for Hoover Dam at 10:00 a.m. but Mr. Marsden was on a winning streak so we had to wait, Bonnie Bates thought she'd cash in on Ralph's luck. We traveled through the massive dam en masse . . . everyone oohed and aahed. Great Game The game that night was nothing short of great, although a bit trying for everyone concerned, including the referees who couldn't agree on any of their calls. The next day we took the tour of Zions National Park, then to Cedar City. After the now legendary game, the red-eyed group of transients took in a dance at the C.S.U. Ballroom.The team broke training and with the grins of the victorious also took in the dance. Then . . . HOME, with another ICAC championship happily in tow. Audubon Lecture Schedules National Speaker Robert C. Hermes, national audu-hon society speaker and one of the foremost photographers of the natural scene, is enroute to Weber College. Dr. O. W. Young, head of the Audubon Lectures, said, "Mr. Hermes is undoubtedly one of the best men in the field of photography which has been proven by his oontribution to many of the famous Walt Disney Movies." Covering as much as 65,000 miles in one year, Mr. Hermes has made friends with many wilderness creatures. His lectures have taken him from Newfoundland to British Columbia and from Hawaii to Bermuda and the Caribbean. Mr. Hermes will present his all-color motion pictures, "Animals At Home And Afield", on the next Audubon Lecture Series Wednesday, March 1, at 8:15 p.m. in the Moench Auditorium.
