Show Evaluate Candidates Not Platforms ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF WEBER COLLEGE VOLUME 2 OGDEN, UTAH. MAY 5, 1939 NO. 16 - , - - DRAMATIS PERSONAE ft ' Harry Mondfrans Spencer Savage Lottie Lund Gilbert Tolhurst " LaMolan Suttlemyre Virginia Loveland Nina Nelson John Johnson Jeanne Johnson Sociologists See Social Cases By George Gunnarson Nearly a hundred sociology students visited American Fork and Provo last Friday under the direction of Walter Neville, sociologist. At American Fork they visited the institution for the feebleminded.Students reported that the clinic showed many types. One case was a young lady who had grown physically from an infant to almost full stature in a very few years. Suffering from lack of tyroxine, she was brought to the institution when she was twenty-one years of age, but still an infant about two feet in length. Had she been treated early enough, her brain also would have developed and become normal. Another case was that of a man of about thirty years of age who still believed in Santa Claus. He was deeply concerned and even cried when the attendant told him Santa had broken his leg. Leaving Chester Gilgen, Ruth Tillotson. Aaron Raylance, and Dahrl Richards at American Fork, the class continued on to the State Mental Hospital at Provo. The missing members arrived in Provo via the thumb route. Many of the mentally ill, it was found, are more brilliant than the doctors. Many are insane on only one thing. One of the cases presented was that of a syphilitic. The germs had destroyed some nerves in the spine causing locomotor ataxia, and destroyed certain centers in the brain, causing the failure of the right eye pupilary reflex. Another case was tchezo-phrenia. The patient, a woman, had failed to face life's conflicts and escaped into a dream world. Shawn Display Ends Lyceum Steady applause greeted Ted Shawn and his troupe of men dancers as they finished their performance in the Ogden high school auditorium last Friday evening. At the same time Weber college's lyceum program for the year was brought to an end. The program has been more inclusive and more varied this year than ever before, according to Guy H. Hurst, lyceum chairman. Speaking of Shawn's appearance, Mr. Hurst said, ''Our program ended with the finest number we have had this year." New Talent In Spring Scribulus The spring issue of Scribulus will appear on May 15. The composition in the last issue will consist chiefly of fiction and will in all but one instance, represent the efforts of students who have not had work in the magazine before. Those whose fiction will appear are Paul Limburg, Jacob Weese, Pauline Rogers, Shirley Poulton, Harold Austin, and Donald West. Stanley Johnson is responsible for a bit of imagining with a pleasing twist at the end. Florence Main and Knolyn Hatch are shown in the role of light essayists. Lizette Stuart and Edward West appear in two contrasting fanciful bits on the center spread. The art work will feature a cover in colors and four coeds done in frames. Then there will be drawings and sketches by Oliver Parsons, Ira Young, and Hugh Garner. The promise of the manuscript is that it will be Engineers Conclude San Francisco Trip "That was the finest trip we have ever been on," said members of the Engineers' club upon their return to Ogden last Sunday from the San Francisco World's Fair. There were sixteen members of the club and the instructor, Mr. Ralph Gray, who made the trip. The members are: Don Prout, Charles Robinson, Charles Manning, Bill Havenor, Kazo Sato, Clair Williamson, Dick Hinchcliff, Vern Stromberg, Charles Pell, David Shurtleff, Norman Allen, Jack Edwards, Noble DeHart, Wayne Farrell, Max McEwan, and John Miller. The members paid their own expenses. The fellows visited many different exhibits, the City of San Francisco, the campuses of the University of California and Stanford, the two new bridges across San Francisco Bay, and a new potash industry on the edge of the Great Salt Lake. The fellows agreed that besides being very enjoyable, the fair was educational beyond imagination, and made them more appreciative of the men who devote their time to the field of science.

After a hard winter of teaching, Dr. Miner is going to break loose and cut up this summer. He is going to start on some petrified wood he found three years ago. A study of the native and introduced trees of Utah will also occupy part of his-time. His summer will be climaxed by a trip to Bear lake, Teton pass, Yellowstone park, and Spokane, Washington.

As we are graduating, we should like to thank Mr. Gray for his outstanding contribution to our memories of Weber. Mr. Allred has been granted a leave of absence for next year. The university he will attend has not yet been selected. He will probably attend summer school also. He speaks favorably of Los Angeles schools.

If he has no iob within thirty days, he will borrow money and go to summer school. New Faculty Officers Voted Leland H. Monson was elected president of the Weber College Faculty association for 1939-40 last Tuesday in extra session. Other persons elected were Ruth Peterson, vice president; Ira Markham, secretary and treasurer; and Whitney Young and Robert Clark, directors. So You Want Work? Pleasant, healthful, remunerative positions for this coming summer are being offered to Weber college freshmen by Dix Jones, school treasurer. Since first advertising the openings two weeks ago, Mr. Jones has had some inquiries. The applicants who so far have interviewed Mr. Jones have been a bit undecided whether to take an Alaskan tour, a voyage to the Caribbean, or accept Mr. Jones' offer with yacht attached. Mr. Jones, however, wishes it known that applicants should be firm and come in at once if they want these positions without yacht attached but otherwise adequate. By PAULINE HOGERS The other night I dropped in to catch a casual preview glimpse of "Let Us Be Gay", the new spring drama scheduled for May 12, 13. Immediately my attention was riveted on the stage as I saw a gripping dramatic scene between Lottie Lund and La Moian Suttlemeyre, the Kitty and Bob of the play. A little later I saw Jean Johnson, beautiful, candid, and tempestuous as Dierdre; Rosemary Thinnes, brusque but hearty as lovable old Boucicault; Gilbert Tolhurst, inscrutably amiable as Townley; John Johnson imposing and impeccable as the butler; Nina Nelson as Madge Livingston, a fragile clinging-vine type of woman whose affectations and cloying sweetness ensnare Harry Mondfrans (Wallace), an effeminate fellow who "moons" over poetry; and Spencer Savage, straight-forward and boyish as Bruce. These characters gave indications of commendable ensemble acting. What happens when the love between Bob and Kitty is shattered? What complications develop when this estranged pair meet under novel circumstances.

What romances are entangled during those languid August days at Bouci-cault's house party? These questions will be answered when this comedy shining with the veneer and polish of sophistication, is presented next Friday and Saturday.Although this preview was fragmentary, and was not made glamorous by lights, make-up or setting, it seemed pulsing with life, vibrant with human warmth It revealed a play filled with deft romantic touches and humorous subtleties which are certain to entertain. Well, to make a long story funny, we are presenting our candidates for the Hall of Fame. In order to put it on a par with Westminster Abbey we have chosen the outstanding deadpans among the sophs this past annum.It is only fitting and proper that we stew this, but in a larger sense, we cannot eradicate, we cannot concentrate, we cannot hollow. So what? WE NOMINATE: MERLE ALLEN Because he is a man of the people he eats his lunch on the school lawn, which is bordered by "Keep Off" signs. Because he iUSt admitted that Rrilliantinp does not help him with his studies. And because he is a handy guy to have around inassemblies.
