Show Successful TankTour Completed By Weber Aquacorps Coach Ferron Losee led the Weber college tank team through a Successful tour of meets in southern California two weeks ago. Leaving March 8, the team travelled to Fulerton, and entered the pool three hours after arriving. After the long, hard trip the fellows didn't have time to loosen their muscles and met with a 57 to 18 defeat. Coach Losee pointed out that the time of each event was very poor for the Weber boys have bettered the marks considerably. On March II, the team was hostj to Pasadena Athletic club where they had the pleasure of swimming Ugainst four national champions and six Pacific coast champions. Having such a strong group, Pasa-dena beat the purple and white 54 to 21. Travelling to Los Angeles, (Weber began to hit her stride and IHiere clashed in a dual meet with both U. C. L.

The freshmen fell to Weber by the score of 48 to 26, and the purple and white slapped the varsity to the tune of 38-36. Then they took on the Y. M. C. A. of Santa Anna. This team was composed of former college stars of wonderful ability, but they couldn't stop the team of Weber and sunk to the decisive score of 41 to 34. Individual stars of the meet were: Albert Hobson with three firsts, three seconds, and three thirds. Odell Sanford with two firsts, three seconds and three thirds. Clair Whiteley with two firsts, two seconds, and one third. Wayne Chris-tensen with three firsts, one second, and two thirds. Coach Losee stated that if the fellows could have rested a day before playing Fullerton, they would have been able to have taken four of their five meets. The U. C. L. A. team two days later defeated Fullerton and if Weber could have had an even break Fullerton would have bowed to Weber. Coach Losee was extremely satisfied with the results of the trip and says that we should be mighty proud of our tank team. Veteran Engineer Ends Union Pacific Service IDAHO FALLS, March 31 (AP) J. J.

Former Weberite BY STANLEY JOHNSON, '40 If poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world and they may be better law-makers than the acknowledged ones, the professor who introduced Mr. Jeffers remarked then Robinson Jeffers is, if not president, at least prominent FOUNTAIN PENS AND PENCILS AT STEVE'S OFFICE SUPPLIES 2414 Washington Blvd. . . . snapped here Don Buswell of Weber throwing his opponent in the A. V. meet. Reviews Lecture . . . in the cabinet among modern writers, probably secretary of war, for warfare, spiritual ad civil, is one of his dominant themes. Robinson Jeffers, the first real pot I ever saw, has been a recluse until a month ago, when he emerged from his private world as guest lecturer at eastern universities. Last Monday night at the University of Utah he gave the only public reading of his poetry on his return trip from the east tc his California home. Mr. Jeffers is one who has withdrawn into an ivory tower to observe and record rather than par- 1 ticipate in modern existence. Here he is capable of expressing spirit, but is unencumbered by the mass of poetically irrevelant details and complexities that make a civilization."On Death He is a tall, spare person, and he read in a low voice several of his own poems on death. He is not exultant or passioned at its approach; Mentor Ferron Losee only certain that it will come. From death and modern insecur ity he accused the world of building "high towers on breaking foun dations" Mr. Jeffers turned to per sonal beliefs and read poetry on self-torture of gods, citing Oden among the Norwegians and Christ among the Hebrews as examples. He justifiably accused the present civilization of owning two codes of ethics, the Pagan and the Christian, and of using whichever suited the mementary fancy. He contrast ed the "love thy neighbor" theory with the actual treatment accorded most neighbors, and rew a conclu sion not favorable to the common unthinking person. Pantheism Then Pantheism, to which he adheres, claimed his attention. His is not the pantheism of the east, which sees the soul as divine and the rest of the world as illussionary, but a western pantheism which recognizes the trans i to rin ess of the human being and sees lasting divinity only in nature. The wild gorges and crags of his seacoast home are objects of his pantheistic poetry. Their beauty seems more important than humanity does to him, for humanity is bloated with self love. The underlying tone of despair in Mr. Jeffers' poetry is not blind cynicism, but a realization of hills beyond Parnassus on which stand the Gods observing humans who pray, humans too stupid to realize that they, themselves, are Gods. Conclusion Mr. Jeffers concluded his address not with a vindication of poetry, for it needs none, as he affirmed later at a private party, but with ROSS & JACK Lunch and Dining Room Ross Hawkins Jack Crane 364 25th Street Air Conditioned Fountain Service OPEN ALL NIGHT OGDEN, UTAH SIGN POST ADVERTISERS Hostess Bakery Emporium College Book Store Leven's Brown's Apparel Mapleway Bowling White City Heap o' Beauty Ogden Billiard Mecca Nadine Dr. S.

The change permits college stu dents to "participate in boxing programs conducted under the auspices of the armed forces of the United States providing the participation takes place on military posts or ships and providing that all contestants are bonafide members of the armed forces" without becoming ineligible for college competition.The new ruling was announced by the national collegiate boxing rules committee, whose meeting followed the N. C. A. A. championship tournament here over the week-end. Committee members were enthusiastic over the calibre of boxing produced in this year's tournament, which wound up Saturday night with Idaho university taking unofficial team honors. Three Idaho boxers, Ted Kara, 120 pounds; his brother, Frank Kara, 127 pounds and Laune Erickson, 165 pounds, won individual titles to enable the Vandals to nose out Southwestern Louisiana institute by two points in the unofficial team title race.

"The poet is a discoverer and a creator," he said telling that the poet himself does not always know his theme until after he has written his verse. "Science analyzes and dissecs; poetry puts together. It is the consumate function of the language," he concluded as he stepped from the platform.

Search for Talent Starts Intramural Track Session BY RAY WRIGHT Cinders are going to fly April 10 and 11 at the Weber high school field and track meet. "The lid of spring intramurals will be let off officially on those days," stated Glen Cherry, intramural manager. This annual club track meet will consist of the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash, the 440-yard dash, the half mile, the mile, the two-mile, the 880-yard relay, and the mile relay the first day. The second day events will be the field events. These include the shot put, javelin, discuss, high jump, pole vault and the broad jump. All organizations will be eligible to compete. In the limelight, however, will be Sigma Delta Pi, Skulls, Excelsior and the Lettermen. Others who could easily upset the above predictions are the Faculty, Phoenix, Frenisti, Vikings, Engineers, and Alpha Rho Omega. Lettermen will only be eligible to compete in events in which they have not won a letter. This scribe (alias Matt B. Wyse) is going out on a limb to pick the winner of the two day meet. Here goes: Excelsior, first; Sigma Delta Pi, second; and Skulls, third. Excelsior should win because of the quantity element and a few high school athletes. Sigma can win if they have the same enthusiasm that they had on the rabbit hunt. Skulls have ability and number, but they don't seem to have the needed drive. Coach Feron Losee states, "The purpose of the meet is to find hidden talent." He claims that, if you have the physique, you can be developed.
