Not even thesuper-abundance of foliage will be able to hide the grim determination to outshine Weber's women. This annual affair, sponsored by the Associated Men of Weber will start on March 1, and will end on the night of the Whisker Frolic, March 9. This promises to be a gala affair with all men expected to participate by growing flowing beards. Under the direction of the officers of the Associated Men, the following committees have been appointed: Contest, Seaman Mills and Le Moyne Peterson; advertising, Norman Bowen, Lewis Briggs, and Grant Neuteboom; decorations, Blaine Felt and Fred Foulger. In this contest prizes will be awarded at the Whisker Frolic to the men with the longest and most comic beards, with a few prizes for novelty and fuzzy weak beards. It promises to be a hotly contested battle with no holds barred except that every one must have shaved on February 29. (Take heed, Dan Bailey.) White feathers will be presented to non-participating men, and only written, bona fide excuses accepted by a Men's Associated official, will exempt the justifiable individual. The officer of the Associated Men desire the support of all men (and mice) of Weber in this annual affair, and know that they have the unanimous support of all Weber's co-eds, so come out all you brawny men of Weber, and show the gals what you are made of. Let's have your entire support. Remember, it starts March 1, ends March 9. Back to Caveman Days Otyokwa Presents Annual Format Dance Otyokwa members, true to tradition were the hostesses at their annual dance on February 24, in the college ballroom. The hall was completely transformed with bright Indian colors. Crepe paper streamers covered every nook and cranny of the ballroom. Each music stand of the orchestra members was adorned with a glittering block "O" on a green background. The windows harbored huge glittering Indian symbols. To each guest was given a little papoose strapped to a papoose board. This constituted the program of dances. After the dance the members were hostesses to the alumnae at open house in the drawing roonj of the Hotel Ben Lomond. Assisting the club officers in the receiving line were past presidents Far-rell Ensign and Kathleen Painter. Thrills and Spills At Press Party Signpost staff members received their reward for hard work when the press club was treated to an evening's entertainment at the Ber-thana Skating Rink. The success of this party has led to tentative arrangements for other such affairs in the future. Although several reporters found that skating was not all it was "cracked up" to be, no casualties were reported, and everyone had a good time. Mr. Cluster Nilsson, Signpost consultant, was tripped up as a publicity stunt, but arose from the weakened floor unscathed. La Dianaeda Slates Easter Assembly Tentative arrangements are being made by La Dianaeda for the traditional assembly and dance held Easter week. The assembly committee consists of Janet Morrin, chairman, Janet Hilton, Donna Jenkins, Lottie Lund, Virginia Allen. The committees in charge of the dance are: invitations, Marcell Simpson, chairman, Helen Tillot-son; decorations, Netta Lavin, chairman, Marian Mikkelson, Lau Rene Thompson, Bernice Perrins, Marjorie Anderson; orchestra, Rama Eyre; programs, Charlene Clark, chairman, Carol Smith, Ro-lene Pitt, Florence Main. Trusting no one, Virginia Allen, left, and Elizabeth Jones, comely Weber co-eds, make sure that Mens Association Vice President Fred Foulger and Contest Chairman Seaman Mills get off to a fair start on the annual whisker race. Norman Bowen, secretary, and Blaine Felt, president of A. M. S., are ust wondering . . . Jitterbug Contest Sidelights Frolic An added feature of the Associated Men's Whisker Frolic will be a jitterbug contest presented in conjunction with Excelsior club and the Egyptian theatre. Tickets are now on sale by all Excelsior men for a midnight show at the Egyptian theatre during which the finals of the jitterbug contest will be held. Finals come immediately after the frolic. Final contestants, who will give forth from the stage, will be selected from vying candidates present on the frolic dance floor. The only contest entrance requirement is that the couples be at the Excelsior dance. Excelsiorites promise abundant contest prizes and a special show, W. C. Fields and Mae West in "Little Chickadee," and the reasonable dance admission of 25 cents. Associated Women Present Spinsters Spree Excelsior Entertains Following Dance All of the members of Excelsior were entertained at the home of Secretary Robert Peterson immediately after their successful Sweetheart ball, the night of February 16. All floor space was utilized and at a premium as every member and his partner mixed refreshments with informality. Past president Dean Williams, '39, headed the alumni members present. Excelsior announces the pledging of eight men: Bill Warnock, Alan Bader, Kay Crockett, Jay Bockman, Lloyd Luddington, Marcus Austad, Hugh Rounds, and Sid Foulger. A first edition of "Jane Eyre" was auctioned in London recently for $500. Chosen of D. R. Trevithick Over 60,000,000 threepenny coins are now in circulation in Britain. Scandah of Jha U)sunk PERSONAL AFFAIRS mixup at a recent dance. What hap- By BYE Cutest couple of the week: Ethel Hogge and Claire Whitley. Charm co-ed of the week, Donna Jenkins. What's the matter with Weber's men, Doris Toombs? We hear Wayne Craven is carrying the torch for Alice Kapple. We don't know what this means, but it sound like swell scandal. Aileen Larscn has been seeing a lot of Donnis Peterson here at school while her Winston waits patiently at home. Interesting developments are expected. After going together for three years, Lorraine Baird and Jay Law have decided that they really like each other. Don't rush into things, kids! Ruth Taylor has still got Lyle on the run, but Lyle says he will surely Wynn (win). When asked about a certain yell leader Ethel Hogge says, "This is the real thing, I really 'Claire' for him. It seems that there wad pened, Betty Lou and Ethel? Wayne Christensen had a very embarrassing moment while on a swimming trip last week. For more details see Wayne. Margaret Tingcy felt rather blue last week, but have you noticed how she recovered? Could Bill be the cause? Donnclle must have had a good time Saturday night she forgot to come to her own party. "There is no use, girls, in casting eyes at one Norman "Pat" Jeppson of Brigham. It seems Pat's time is all taken up with a theme song: "When You Come to the End of a 'Lolly-Pop' ". If anyone wants to find Donna Jenkins, just page Norman Bowen. Tch! Such goings on and in this kind of weather, too. (Editor's Note: And so the society editors took a week off Yah! yah!) Will someone please ask Donald Roush if he had a good time at the Sophomore party? Fickle, pickle McCune, that's Betty. She's fickle one day and in a pickle the next. Just a reminder to Shirley Pouiton that Hatch can grow an awfully tough beard after tonight. Dan Bailey isn't shaving his beard off until people get to like it. It's a long life and a great world, Dan, don't weaken. Have you seen that? sad look on Louise Dixon's face? She says that her heart is broken. Our guess is that Winsiow Gardner could mend it. Why is "Pretzel" Costley avoiding the Whip Girls? Could it be that he has a guilty conscience? Johnny Johnson is the most eligible bachelor of the week. Another one of life's unsolved mysteries is why Wayne Bott Is a woman hater Bader is snubbing Athleen. Could it be on account of Otyokwa's dance? Another one of the Weber fellows has succumbed to the charm of Miss Thody. Why, Bart, we thought your heart was in Logan! Seen at Excelsior's Sweetheart dance Kay Crockett and Kay Blaes. Well, well. Have you ever heard of one losing one's shoes at a dance? Makes you kinda' half mad, doesn't it, Emma? Blaine Felt seems to have discovered a new interest at school here of late in Marion Butler. It seems that Todd and Hinchcliff are just "good friends" now that the uniforms at the A. C. have drawn her interest Seaman Mills has caused no few heart-throbs among Weber's coeds, but he also finds the A. C. of interest. This informal date-getting for the Spinster's Spree may have been embarrassing, but it was effective nevertheless, wasn't it girls? ED. NOTE Heiner is not slipping. What were Helen Betty White and Eueene Talbot doine in the library in the dark. Betty swears she was just between the book ends lout, not witn red Malone.) To Shirley Critchlow: Your name won't be mentioned in scandals, Shirley. Your name won't even be linked with Jack Wecker's. W m Faculty Bachelor Will Marry Ogdenite in June Miss Marion Covey . . . betrothed Seven years of romantic suspense at Weber college have come to a close. Mr. David Trevithick of the English faculty announced Wednesday that he has given up. He will marry Miss Marion Covey of 455 Twenty-first St., Ogden, June 10. Miss Covey is the daughter of Mrs. Bertha Covey of Ogden. She was graduated from the local high school in 1936. Since graduataion she has been employed part time and regularly by the George H. Lowe Hardware Company. Her chief interest has been the piano. She plays well and has appeared as program accompanist and on the radio in company with Ed. Berry, brother of Joy Berry, W. C. pianist. Other details concerning Mr. Trevithick's fiancee are that she is brunette, has dark brown eyes, Is tall slim in a shapely way, dresses stylishly, plays bridge capably, and calls him "David" in a tone that augurs well for their happiness. The honeymoon will probably be spent at the San Francisco world's fair. Last summer Mr. Trevithick was one of the Utah representa tives at the New York exposition, but the Utah exhibit in New York has been closed and so he may be transferred to Utah's display at the Pacific exposition. In September, at the starting of the next school year, the pair will take up residence in Ogden. Merchants and A. W. S. Present Spring Style Show Most colorful event of Charm week was the spring fashion show held in the auditorium last evening. The merchants of Ogden showed Betty Coed, portrayed by Shirley Critchlow, that they could answer all her needs in the lat est spring styles. "The purpose of the review was to show appropriate campus wear suited to every coed's budget," said Lottie Lund, commentator. Complete wardrobes that would fill their needs from dawn until "Home Sweet Home" were modeled by charming college 'coeds. Ruth Tolhurst and Janet Hilton greeted good morning in bright pajamas. Green Slacks Chic was ushered in with a peppermint stick seersucker playsuit as modeled by Anne Chard. Multicolored, wine, and green slacks were modeled by Druce Foutz, Ruth Packer, Geneal Greaves and Shirley Hendrickson. Eva Greenwell, Mildred Saxey, Margaret Bachman, Ethel Barker, Isabel Edward, and Beth Wheelwright modeled outright wardrobe necessities such as date dresses, gay Easter outfits and informal dinner clothes. Some dresses were accompanied with smart coats in harmonizing color. Matching and contrasting sweaters worn with pastel flannel skirts gave that wide awake look to models Kathleen Jones, Helen Betty White, Maurine Jackson, and Joyce Poulter. The motto of coed models Afton Huff, Rama Eyre, Ardell Russell, and Doraine Herbert was "For sportswear, look well turned-out and yet be comfortable." That one indespensable good suit, a smart swirling skirt and trim bodice, gave the erectness of West Pointers, as modeled by Jeanne Johnson, Margaret Smith, and Florence Main. Charming blue, tan, and green knits were worn by Carolyn Smith, Camille Larson, and Arzella Day. Beverly Peterson modeled a pert red hat, navy blue suit and beige coat. Modeling at the same time was Donna Marie Curran in a charming navy blue dress with hat and a reversible rain coat, brass buttons worn with a Scotch Black gabardine coats and red and white plaid seersucker skirts were modeled by Louis Dixon, Lavon Newey, and Joy Berry. . A moving picture set to the tune of rustling rayon was Loraine Ritchie, Jean Stark, Mary Lou Madsen, Barbara Fleming, Barbara Reeve, Charleen Smith, Barbara Earls, and Aileen Larson as they modeled lovely evening form-als. . As a grand finale to the review the forty-three models reappeared on a stage that was decorated with gladiolas and pussy willows. Against a background of the grey and blue they arranged themselves in a beautiful formation. Vikings Celebrate Founders' Day On Saturday, February 17, the Viking club celebrated the first anniversary of their founding. The party was held in the lounge of the gymnasium building, with ten members and their partners at tending. After an evening of games and informal gayety, refreshments consisting of doughnuts and orange ade were served. Seaman Mills, organizer and president of the slub discussed briefly the history of the club since its inception. His remarks were directed along the line of the progressive and social activities of the club. Eight fellows have accepted bids from the club and are to be taken in as members in the near future. They are: Glen Orton, Del Mar Thompson, Leonard Miller, Art Fowler, Wendell Muir, Mack Peterson, and Dan Bradshaw. Tonight at nine o'clock in the Weber colloge ballroom, the Associated Women Students will present the Spinster's Spree, leap year dance climaxing charm week at Weber college. This is an affair where the lady has her turn to ask that certain dream man for a date, and exercise on him her new personality, acquired from charm week. Having only one chance like this in every four years, and especially after a week of charm, the girls are anxiously awaiting the crucial moment and feel it will be well worth their time. No date should be turned down by any fellow who has an opportunity for one of these fair co-eds. the upper hand. If she takes good care of the house I may let her go out again tomorrow." In conclusion, Mrs. Woods stressed to the girls that they should vote twice for democracy. "The German people love Americans. They don't like their conditions any more than we do." One Ger man mother's sentiment was, "How much longer are German mothers going to raise sons for cannon fodder?" The beard growing contest starts a day later, and the girls, realizing that delicate complexions are necessary for charm, will see to it that the Spinster's Spree will be the last cheek-to-cheek affair until the contest is over. It will be a sport dance and the tickets are forty cents a couple. For advice to the fellows who are asked as Confuscius say, "Opportunity, he knock but once." Marion Mikkelson, general chairman, and her committee has put forth every effort to make the dance a huge success. Those assisting Miss Mikkelson on the committees are: Ardell Russell and La Priel Mathias, advertising; Margaret Backman, Elaine Williamson, and Helen Williams, decorations; Clare Gilman and Louise Dixon, orchestra; Maurine Jackson and Almira Heslop, programs. David R. Trevithick Excelsior Holds Sweetheart Ball On Friday, February 16, Excelsior presented Miss Beverly Peterson as their sweetheart at the annual Sweetheart dance held in the college ballroom. The presentation was made midway in the evening in an atmosphere of beauty and gaiety. The hall was decorated in the valentine theme and in a very new and striking manner. Crepe paper streamers of alternating red and white colors were draped in graceful arches from the outer row of lights to the center of the hall. A red heart on a white background at each window of the hall gave honor to all previous Excelsior Sweethearts, and above the orchestra the black and gold of the club emblem was verystriking. Women Hear Personality Talk Personality and charm of the European woman was the subject of the lecture by Mrs. Evelyn Woods last Tuesday evening. The lecture was given in the women's lounge as one of the features of Charm week. Mrs. Woods is a former student of Weber and has recently returned from Europe. "Perhaps the queer things we see in people are not so. queer after we know them," stated Mrs. Woods, "for in London you must ask the clerks to wait on you and until you do they think you are just looking. When you do decide to buy you must state the size, color, and kind of article you want. Leave your hotel door open, no one takes anything in Greece. They just don't take things that don't belong to them." Mrs. Woods went on to say that the women of Damascus are under great handicaps. They, like most of the women in Europe, do all the work. Hospitality comes before anything else. That they do not have a chance for education is perhaps the reason why their hand work is so beautiful. "All the beauty they see and feel seems to come out in their beautiful designs." The progress of these people is retarded by their belief in Mohammed. "Everything that happens is the will of Allah." People Like Americans The people of Europe who are most nearly like the Americans are the German people. They are most progressive, clear, alert and healthy. Mrs. Woods discussed many of the customs of the German people that made them different from American women. "It is verv common for women to tell their age. If you don't tell ft, someone is sure to ask you." One European girl asked her, "Are the girls in America trained for all these silly things stated in the M. I. A. Gleaner's handbook like courtship, marriage, and what kind of a husband to look for? Are they really concerned so seriously about such things?" Women Slaves In Europe "The European woman's status depends, for instance, upon how well she keeps the family shoes clean." Women are more or less slaves. A woman and a cow pulling a wagon driven by a man, or a woman and a large dog pulling a plow driven by a boy are common sights in Europe. The man rules. When one man was asked why he didn't bring his wife along he answered, "She was out yesterday. If you let them go out too much, they think they are getting Sheaffer's Pen and Pencil Sets All Kinds of School Supplies (Nick Sweeney) Kent S. Bramwell Eugene T.

Bids have been given to a limited number of freshmen. The party will take place "after the pledging of the new fellows. Weekly meetings are now being held at each of the fellow's homes in rotation. Last week's meeting was held at the home of Spence Loughton. Chanodo Holds Skating Party Tuesday night the members of Chanodo entertained a group of "rushees" at a skating party at the Berthana Skating Rink. After a delightful evening of skating the girls were entertained at the home of Athlene Cardon, where a delightful buffet supper was served. The following "rushees" were present: Jeanne Wallwork, Loyal Christenson, Marion Butler, Jessie May Fish, Rosemary Pickens, Clara May Patterson, Ethel Barker, Dorothy Lichfield, Charlene Smith, and Arzella Dye. Phoenix Slates 'Bunny Hug' The "Bunny Hug," a new and different sport dance for Easter, is on the "griddle" of social events next quarter.
