In l!K!l2, the musical was reviewed with outstanding success. Subsequent revisions and a brilliant screen version have brought "Show Boat" to everyone. The action spans the years from the latter part of the lSSO's to V.)2, and depicts the stormy romance of Magnolia and Ravenal, their later life in Chicago and that of their daughter, Kim, a rising young- singer. Sentimental To most theatre devotees the very sound of "Show Boat" brings to mind nostalgic sentiments and few can hear its most popular music without affectionatley recalling its romantic atmosphere. An assortment of vivid personalities have helped dramatize Edna Ferber's novel of life on the Mississippi during its unique "Show Boat" days.

Don't miss the biggest dance of the year. INDEPENDENTS APPEAR Carnival Brings Colds by Tom Clark Well, well, the Snow Carnival is over for another year. It may be past history now, but there are aftermaths drifting around the Campus. There seems to be an unusual amount of colds in the studentbody this week. Could it be the result of too much romping in - the fluffy white at Snow Basin?1 Seems so. The Independents made a fine "One thing about this place they want you to think big." showing in the sculpture contest, and considering the fact that this is the first year for an Independent Association to participate in the Carnival, the second place award was doubly gratifying. Congratulations are in order for Sigma and O: T. Wonderful job, even though the snow wouldn't pack and the doughnuts ran out too soon. Final approval has been made of the Independent's Constitution. The administrative council 'returned it with recommendations for improvement and it was ratified pending acception of the recommendations.On a more serious note It has been called to my attention that the recent religious lecture series was poorly attended. It is appal-, ling to think that such renowned speakers have come to Ogden to speak to nearly empty auditoriums. Since the attendance was so good at the Snow Carnival, it should be just as good at a lecture series or basketball game. A school is only as good as its students make it. If more effort was put forth by all students, Weber would become a school, not just a "pretty good basketball team in Utah."
