Show Page 2 SIGNPOST February 17, 1961 EDITORIAL Social Clubs Merit Praise The social clubs of Weber College often come under the verbal fire of justified critics. The charges leveled most often . are those expressing concern over club attitudes, such as personal attacts in club columns and undue shafting. However, some recent club activities have been an indication of a trend towards activities which are more becoming a social unit at an institution of higher learning. The voluntary elimination of Hell Week, and the fine showing the clubs made at the recent songfest are examples of what clubs can do. Fond Remembrance How many remember fondly that week last winter quar ter when half the Freshmen girls came to school in costumes appropriate to Junior High School dress up day. Although the songfest was instituted years ago, the level of acheivement was considered by many who have watched the progress of this annual event to be higher this year than in past years. The Signpost commends the nine units that participated m the songtest and the womens clubs who have dropped the juvenile practice of Hell Week.
