Show Page 4 THE SIGNPOST Charlie fferJe By .JACOB WEESE The legislature is here and even the boys of brawn are required to be at their best. Don Hatch has been asked not to be seen with more than three girls at one time. It might give the impression that the rest of the boys were not up to snuff and also give a notion of false democracy, you know everyone shares alike. Phil Revel has been requested not to gyp the little guys out of their turn at the ping pong table. Hearing sinister rumors that members of the swimming team are not allowed to dance, your columnist personally interviewed several of them at the varsity nite dance and received full confirmation of the rumors. The Salt Lake Tribune rates Dixie, Westminster, and Snow as the leading contenders in the junior college basketball race. The Deseret News gives Ricks, Snow, and Westminster as the leading contenders. TheStandard-Examiner gives the nod to Weber, Dixie and Snow. It seems every one is entitled to his own opinion. But the remarkable thing is that The Standard even mentioned Weber. Usually it doesn't. Personally, we like our own team. Rumors are going around about a reponer s interview with Coach Davis about his touted wrestlers. It went something like this: Reporter: What kind of a squad have you this year? C. Davis: Terrible. Reporter: Have you any outstanding wrestlers? C. Davis: No. Reporter: Have you any meets scheduled to happen pretty soon ? C. Davis: None at present. Reporter: Do you exnect to place this year? C. Davis: Can't tell so early. Reporter: You have a regular practice, don't you? C. Davis: (reluctantly) Yes . . we do. Reporter: Is this vear's squad better than last year's? C. Davis: That all depends. And then, rumor has it, the daring reporter went off to his sanctum to be treated for an old mental disease common among reporters. The reporter is gone upstairs. Long live the reporter. "Nine Old Men" passed in iheir checks in the Ogden Industrial Basketball league last Thursday. The rumor is that they died in their sleep. They were scheduled to play McKes-in and fled. Losee arrived a half sons at eight p. m. Davis peeked hour late. Childs breezed in at nine. And Swenson stayed home with the yonkers. Quite a few friends of the college were there to see. More could be said, but let's drop it. But, remember: they died on a cowpath, not at the crossroads. STATESMAN Old Ben Franklin was clever. He invented the senate. The little states wanted representation by states and the big states wanted representation by population. Then the next thing they all wanted was to go home. But old Ben, he figured out the senate. That saved the United States for us.

(Continued from Page 1) We like moonlight nights, too, and that's how we discovered Richard (Narcissus) Petersen saying the following to Richard (Narcissus) Petersen, in a garden, in the moonlight, by a lagoon:Richard dear, Oh Richard, You have the cutest smile. You make my heart beat wildlyWith all your poison pardon me, I mean "poise and" style. Skip Forsha vouches for the authenticity of the following. Skip is the only source of information we have. No one else except he could have been there, because Mr. Trevithick (what, again!) was alone at the time. He swears he heard Mr. Trevithick reciting this poem to a lamp post: I could make believe you're Frou Frou I could make believe you're Joan. But you are just a piece of wood, And I'm still all alone. Our curiosity was aroused when we saw Olaf Zundel writing something under the picture of Don Ameche in a movie magazine yesterday. We investigated and found this. We quote: You're in the movies. You're considered quite an ace. You've got just scads of moneyDon't you wish you had my face? The next is a paid advertisement. The Phys. Ed. 40 class gave us three half-sticks of gum and 13 mills on condition that we publish it. Mr. Swenson is our ideal, He is our pride and joy. But that class of Phys. Ed. 40 Makes us sleepy. After reading all this we were so filled with the poetic spirit ourselves that we wrote : A VALENTINE TO THE LEGISLATORS We ain't got nuttin' Never had nuttin', Don't want nuttin', 'cept a new library, chem lab, domestic arts building, and a sound-proof room for Ferdinand sessions. And seeing as how we've only one fountain. And are of a very thirsty nature,Couldn't you add just two more spouts? Oh, please, dear legislature.

The doubles will be run off during this week, with the championship being held next Wednesday.Sweetheart Classic Friday Evening (Continued from Page 1) heart herself will be presented with the sweetheart necklace, a yellow gold heart with the cross of Excelsior engraved on it. Lenny Wight and his "Gentlemen of Jive" are preparing new, appropriate numbers to accompany the radio presentation of the sweetheart from the Weber college ballroom. This broadcast may be heard at 10:30 Friday night over K. L. O. Following a big floorshow of professional talent, Mr. Olio Childs, club sponsor, will sing the sweetheart song. A novel revolving stage, at the north side of the ballroom, will turn to present the sweetheart and her attendants. This presentation will be the first of its kind at a Weber college dance. Red and white, signifying valentine' sweethearts, is the color scheme of the affair. Windows and ceiling will be decorated in French style diagonal interwoven pattern, and valentines on the orchestra stand will carry, out the theme. In the assembly tomorrow morning at 11, Excelsior will fling a double-header and present two swing bands for entertainment. The seven candidates will also be formally introduced. He: "I suppose you dance.' She: "Oh, yes, I love to." He: "Great. That's better'n j dancing." LOVELAND'S STUDIO 480 24th Street Swenson Plans Tight Defense Against Snow "It's going to be a tough series with Snow, but if we play ball as we can, we'll lick them," said Coach Swenson. Just how much hangs on that "if" will be revealed tomorrow and Saturday night at eight p. m., when the Weber Wildcats play host to the high-scoring aggregation from Snow. It looks as if the Wildcats will have to sweep this series with Snow to keep in the running for the Jaysee title. If the Wildcats do no better than split with Snow, they will need a godfather to bring them through with the flag. At present, Snow seems to be the standout of the league. The entire last year's team is back in suits. These courtiers will tower above the Wildcats; the first five average about six feet 2 inches. The smallest man on the squad is five feet ten inches.

C Dixie Westminster Albion . . .833 .750 .667 .500 .500 .33? .167 In recent Wildcat practices Coach Swenson has been stressing defense, since any Snow player is dangerous if allowed to roam free for a moment. Nearly every Snow p'ayer has at one time this season been high-point man for his team. Captain Norris Nelson is the only definite started for Friday's game. Coach Swenson even contemplates juggling the lineup to get more punch. One very encouraging note is the presence of Ravvson Childs back in the lineup. Players report that he is going great guns. Childs will definitely improve height on the offense. The preliminary games will be under way at 7 o'clock. In Friday's encounter Kammeyer's meet Logan Knit; Saturday's prelimenary will pit the Weber reserves against the Sixth Ward M Men. Brigham School Hears W. C.
