Show Two Lyceum Programs To Be Presented THE OUTSIDE WORLD By Wayne Farrell THE SIGNPOST Published every other week by the Associated Students of Weber College Managing- Editor ...Frank McQuown Associate Editor Max McEwan Administration Elzada Carlson Features Dorothy Dixon Society... Aurline Osmond Sports Pat Quinn Business Assistant..... Morton Fuller Advertising- Bart Wolthius Advertising Jacob Weese Editorials Big games brought to Ogden to bolster the Wildcat football schedule should put the autumn sport on a paying basis. Small colleges in Colorado, Idaho, and Montana might be brought to Ogden for "big games" with Weber. Coach Bob Davis, football mentor, and other local authorities have expressed beliefs that the sladium could be packed to overflowing if good games were provided.Full stadium, public enthusiasm, publicity for the college, and an athletic department that would pay for itself all might be secured through a "big league" football schedule. The athletic committee and olhers concerned with athletic schedules might give the matter due consideration. It has been suggested by many of the students that football games be held on Fridays instead of Saturdays due to various conflicts. Many potential fans find it impossible to attend Saturday games. Business and social conflicts are given as the principal reasons for their inability to attend. One observer holds that the attendance at Weber's games might be increased as much as twenty per cent and more if the charge were made. s Students and administrative officers should be well pleased with the progressive steps made in the music department this year. Foremost among the improvements will be the development of a real college band. A good band is almost indispensable to the student body, and should be forthcoming if music department heads continue to receive the cooperation of talented students. a i Weber College is known for its debating. In many colleges throughout the country the name Weber is associated only with debating. It is seldom that a small Congratulations! Steve's Office Supplies 2414 Washington Blvd. junior college of Weber's size reaches national prominence in any one activity. The student body will do well to show as much pep and enthusiasm toward this activity as is shown toward football, basketball, and the other sports. Professor L. II. Monson, English department head and debating coach, has been asked to speak at the annual meeting of the National Association of Teacher's of Speech in New York City, thU year. This is but another indication of the national recognition given to W. C. debating. . . . Debut . . . (Continued from page 1) now even more than it has been in the past. Its objective: to serve as a common tie linking the activities of all students and presenting them as the chain of events affecting the entire student body, will continue as the criteria by which SIGNPOST is edited. Our first issue in new form was tentatively approved by the board of control as a "feeler". YOUR enthusiastic acceptance prompted that board to approval of the new SIGNPOST. May we continue to merit your acceptance and approval as playing a part in a new and better Weber College. THE EDITORS. Good Luck Weber THE STORE OF GREATER VAUJEf Two lyceum programs of unusual merit will be staged in the next few weeks, Prof. Guy Hurst, lyceum director, announces . . . On October 26, at eleven o'clock in the auditorium the Frazer-James Dance Group with Arthur Frazer, pianist, will present our third lyceum program. The dance group offers an exotic and entrancing interpretation of the progress of the dance since time immemorial. Jan Cherniavsky, the celebrated Russian poet of the piano, will be at Weber College on November 2, in another lyceum presentation. Cherniavsky played to a capacity lyceum audience last year, and his return this year will be lauded by Ogden's music lovers. The Literary Dry Jest Continued from page 1 classmates; my zeros are frequent. Surely this mystery of my life shall drive me to despair, and I shall dwell in this . . . school forever. SO WHAT? Getting out this paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are silly; If we don't they say we are too serious. If we clip from other papers, we are too lazy to write it down ourselves; If we don't we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the job all day we ought to be out hunting up news; If we do get out and try to hustle we ought to be on the job in the office. If we don't print contributions we don't appreciate true genius; If we do the paper is filled with junk. IE we make a change in a fellow's write-up we are too critical; If we don't we are asleep. Now like as not someone will say we swiped this from some other paper. WE DID. Student Life, Logan, Utah. . . -- i Signpost Long Life to You! 1 Last week the final link in a $100,000,000 chain of roads, built to supplement Chicago's over-busy Michigan Boulevard, was dedicated. But even this sumptuous occasion could scarcely have made front page news had not President Roosevelt, en route east after a triumphant tour of the Northwest been on hand to dedicate and opeir for traffic the great new Centennial Bridge. Standing on the south plaza'rof the bridge, looking into the earnest upturned faces of as many Chicagoans as could cram their new drive, Dedicator Franklin Roosevelt tossed his head into the air and made the biggest national and international news of the week. Said he: "The peace-loving nations must make a concentrated effort in opposition to those violations of treaties and those ignoring of those violations of humane instincts which today are creating a state of international anarchy and instability from which there is no escape through mere isolation or neutrality ..." Thus before unsuspecting Chicagoans Franklin Roosevelt undertook to turn the scales of public opinion, scales that for weeks had maintained a queazy balance between moral indignation at ruthless international aggression in Spain and China and a feeling that the United States must not soil the spirit of peace by taking even a moral stand. To add weight to the push, he quoted from James Hilton's LOST HORIZON, a grim passage describing what the world may have in store for it. "Perhaps we foresee a time when men, exultant in the technique of homicide, will rage so hotly over the world that every precious thing will be in danger, every book and picture and harmony, every treasure garnered through two milleniums, the small, the delicate, the defenseless all will be lost or wrecked or utterly destroyed." Without a warning the President had overturned a United States foreign policy maintained since 1920. No longer would officialdom follow Eddie Cantor's famous quip and more famous song, "Let 'Em Keep It Over There", but would keep a definitely active U. S. finger in the political soup of the world.
