Show sept. 26, 1972 signpost page 7 wsc students summer days find full The lazy, hazy days of summer that some college students enjoy did not exist for most Weber State students. Many, of course, worked to pay for tuition, books, fees, and clothes, but others had special experiences.Rosanne Kump, a political science major, for instance, found herself heading up the election bid of Weber State College professor and State Senator Rod Julander. Another type of political experience was that of20-year-old Jake Hoogland who was one of Utah's youngest delegates to the Democratic National Convention.On the Republican side, Pat Harrison and Wendy Hunter attended the Republican National Convention with a group called "Young Voters for the President." They helped by manning telephones, attending meetings, and generally doing the million little things that make a convention successful. "I loved it," said Ms. Harrison. However she resented the statements of several television networks and press associations that the young Nixon supporters acted as a cheering section. "We were not prompted as to when to cheer or told what to do," she said. Far from the political arena was the fantasy land theme that cropped six trophies for two Weber State groups in three local parades. The college Activities Board float depicted a dragon coming out of a coloring book with the theme "I Can't Believe I Colored the Whole Thing." The wings and tail of the dragon moved and smoke spouted from the mouth. The Activities Board grabbed the Grand Marshall's Trophy in the Ogden Pioneer Days Parade, the Sweepstakes Trophy in the Roy Days Parade, and the School Division Trophy in Brigham City's Peach Days Parade.Weber's other group that entered a float in the same three parades was the Weber State College LDS Stake. Their float was entitled "Seajackedto Never, Never Land." It was a pirate ship with cannons that fired and made a noise. The LDS Stake float was awarded the Judges Second Trophy in Ogden, they won the top prize in Roy's parade in the Business Division, and the Special Effects Trophy in the Peach Days Parade. The most traveled group on campus has to have been Charly Company, a theatre department group which performed in five European countries: Greece, France, Italy, England and Switzerland.They were invited to take the tour by the International Exchange Schools. The ten student and faculty members of the company left New York in July and returned to Utah in August. Charly Company's act consisted of 18 musical numbers from 15 Broadway shows and was entitled "A shot of Broadway." According to Leonard Rowley of the theatre department this same group will make a tour of Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland next summer. Those wishing to try-out for parts in the program should contact Mr. Rowley. Two different leadership conferences were held this summer. One for studentbody leaders and one for LDSSA student leaders. The LDSSA conference was held in Aspen Grove near Provo in September. More than 130 students held seminars, workshops, activities, and listened to speakers -- the central topic being "People." Regular college leadership was held in Park City under the direction of the Leadership Committee. They also had workshops and seminars to discuss the problems involved in leading the various school clubs, committees, and organizations. And, of course, hundreds of other Weber students had memorable experiences, far too many to relate. Loo Ei For Wold Before You Buy!
