Stevenson, chairman of Weber's air raid organization."We want to encourage not only members of the air raid organization but also1 each and every member of the faculty and the student body to complete the training courses being set up to qualify for offices in civilian defense," Mr. Stevenson emphasized. "There are not enough trained people at present to do the jobs, but they have to be done now anyway, and volunteers will receive training as fast as possible," he continued. Vital Area Mr. Stevenson pointed out that since Ogden is a vital defense area, people should become aware of the situation and be prepared. There is no need for hysteria or alarm, but a thorough preparation for defense should be made, he stated. Civilian defense Is being carried on through voluntary services, and Weber needs additional personnel. Students and teachers can contact either Mr. Stevenson on the campus or Mr. Wesley Robbins, county chairman, to volunteer their help. Weber's program was drawn up and is being executed with the cooperation of the county. Now Being Held Fire fighting classes are in session at the down-town station. More groups in this phase of the program will be organized as soon as more students and teachers sign for them, Mr. Stevenson reported. Classes in first aid are still available for those who desire thetraining. West and Scribulus Seek Talent In New Contest One year's subscription to "Story Magazine" to the author of the best short story published in Scribulus and one year's subscription to "Rocky Mountain Review" to the author of the best poem published in Scribulus are stimuli to campus creative writers to enter the contest promoted by Mr. Ray B. West of the English faculty. The basis of this contest, according to Mr. West, is the fact that the best poems and short stories written by Weber students should find publication in Scribulus. Manuscripts will be accepted by either Mr. West or members of the Scribulus staff. Efforts should be submitted before the first week of May in order to be eligible for judging. The competition is open to the entire student body.

L. D. S. Institute Conducts Sunday School Sunday school was held in the new Institute of Religion building last Sunday for the first time. Many students participated in the services with the institute director, Dr. Asahel D. Woodruff, acting as class teacher. The following students were sustained as officers of the organization: La Mar Buckner, superintendent; Daniel Drumiler, first counselor Robert Petty, second counselor; Medalou Winter, secretary; and Viva Mae Gammell, organist. A regular Sunday school meeting is planned for next Sunday at ten fourty-five a. m. to which all Weber college students are invited. A special Easter Sunday program is planned for the following session with President H. A. Dixon of the college as guest speaker. Varsity Showing Looks Doubtful Plans for appearance of Weber's varsity show at the Brigham Young university at Provo are still indefinite. "All's Fair" was orieinallv scheduled for presentation on the Y campus Saturday, March 14, but the Provo school's production of MacBeth on that date forced postponement of the show. Box Elder, Davis county, and Salt Lake high schools have also been contacted regarding performances, but plans are not settled. ing rare "Whoffle" powder. A flute quartet, composed of Lola Smedley, Kathryn Richards, Willyn Hudson, and Mrs. Clair Johnson, played variations on "Listen to the Mocking Bird" to represent the unaffiliated girls. Accompanied by Mr. Clair Anderson playing the organ, Burdell Blair of Sigma Delta Pi sang "Everything I Love." Eugene Kingsford of Frenisti, accompanied by Kathryn Piper, played the violin solo, "Hejre Hati." Ada and Amy Woodburn, steel guitar playing twins scheduled to perform, were called away by a civil service examination. Judges for the finals were Dr. Orsen Whitney Young, Mr. Roland Parry, Mr. Thatcher Allred, Dwight Freeman, and LaMar Buckner. Preliminary judges were Dwight Freeman, Carlyle Green, and Boyd Farr. Library Shortens Hours for Spring Quarter Beginning March 23, new library hours came into effect until the end of the year. From Monday through Friday the library will be open between eight o'clock and five o'clock. Saturday hours will be from nine a. m. until twelve noon. Several reasons brought about the change. The departure of Miss Ruth Ames, who is now acting as president's secretary, and also of many student helpers has left the staff short-handed. A count revealing that an average of only 12 students use the circulation library any one night and that a smaller number study in the reference rooms indicates that shorter hours will mean defense economy on the campus, and will be no serious loss to the majority of the students. Lyceum Series Set Record; Best Programs Chosen Lyceum numbers presented to the students of Weber college and to the community under the sponsorship of the Webercollege-Community concert series for 1941-42 season have attracted more persons than ever before. The increase in interest can be attributed to the varied and outstanding programs selected by the lyceum committee, headed by Mr. Guy Hurst of Weber college. Coming Attractions Lyceum programs to conclude the season will be Gregor Piatorgor-sky, cellist, who will appear April 6 at the Ogden high school, and Dr. Harlan Tarbell, mental scientist and magician, who will be presented the following evening, April 7, in the Weber auditorium. Up to date eight attractions from the fields of music, instrumental and vocal, and the dance have been offered. These numbers in the order of appearance are Dr. Perrine and the voder, the almust human electrical talking machine; Reginal and Glayds Laubin, artists of American Indian dances; Devi Dja, and a troup of Bali-Java dancers; Erno Balough, pianist-composer; Bruna Castagna, contralto of the Metropolitan Opera association; Igor Gorin, baritone; St. Louis symphony orchestra, conducted by Vladimir Golschmann; and the Trapp Family singers. Survey Taken A survey taken among Weber students and faculty members to reveal outstanding numbers listed the St. Louis symphony orchestra (Continued on Page Two) Orchestra Designs Good Will Tour of Schools With the coming of the spring quarter the Weber college orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Clair Johnson, is preparing a program of symphonic music to be presented in concerts at various high schools in Utah and Idaho. The tour will include the Davis, Weber, Box Elder, Bear River, and Malad high schools. President H. A. Dixon of Weber will accompany the orchestra. At each school he will invite the student body to visit the Weber campus and to make Weber its choice of higher education. The orchestra is making the tour with the view in mind of encouraging music students to attend Weber to help maintain the instrumental balance in orchestra and band. At the present time the orchestra enrollment is larger and the instrumental balance is better than any other for the past five years. The schedule date for each school is as follows: Davis high, April 3, eleven o'clock; Weber county, high, April 8, two o'clock; Bear River high, April 10, eleven o'clock; Malad high, April 10, two o'clock; Box Elder high, April 17, two o'clock. A. M. S. officers, President Ralph Barnard, Vice President Jack Dal-ton, and Secretary Fred Tingey, sponsored the talent search. Wayne Carver acted as master of ceremonies in charge of the assembly. Students who participated in try-outs on Friday and Monday afternoons were Jay Olsen, Eugene Kingsford, Carl Baird, Alta Cot-trell, Ada and Amy Woodburn, Lawrence Jansen, Van Nance, La-rene Donaldson, Kathryn Hone, Kay Anderson, Darrell Madsen, Ray Sanders, Mildred McPhie, Elaine Grow, Marvel Murphy, Willyn Hudson, Lola Smedley, Kathryn Richards, Carolyn Hodson, Bette Davis, Sophie Reed, Burdell Blair, and Marjorie Andelin. Officers express the wish that the talent search become an annual affair with a trophy awarded to the winner of each year's contest. Board Issues Summary Of Finances Treasurer Reports January 31 Budget Standing After struggling with reduced income and the necessary budget cuts, the board of control issued a report January 31. Up to that date expenditures had equaled approximately $8,500, with about $3,-600 remaining for spring quarter activities, contracts, and past debts.

Newspaper Contest Rocky Mountain Review magazine editors will judge the 1942 Signpost contest for high school newspapers, Ed Anderson, Signpost editor, announced today- In the past the contest has been judged by the managing editors of the state Winning Speakers Chosen in High School Meet For two days swarms of high school debaters from Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming invaded the Weber campus. The occasion was the annual high school tournament directed by Mr. Leland H. Monson, head of the Weber English department.In men's A division debate the winning team was composed of Herbert Wiese and Fred Baker of Ogden high school. Second place went to David Beal and Beverly Waltz from Rexburg, Idaho. Division A was under the direction of Mr. Cluster Nilsson. Winners of men's B division of debate under the supervision of La Mar Buckner were the teams of Dale Saunders and Grant Wilson and William Shimizu and Douglas Moore, both from Central junior high school in Ogden. Since the judges did not allow teams from the same school to compete, these boys stood as tied. Women's debate under the direction of Mr. Ray B. West, Jr., resulted in another tie. The teams, both from Davis high school, were June Barlow and Ada Jean Holbrook plus Pearl Brough and June Sessions. Runners-up were Marion Lucas and Marian Watkins from Ogden high school. Extemporaneous speaking winners were David Talbot of East high school, Salt Lake City, and second place, Martin Tubbs. First place in oratory went to Bonnie Hovells of East high, with second going to Faun Hurst of Lincoln high school in Oren, Utah. Walter Cable and Maurine Duffin were in charge of these events. Audience Enjoys Comedy Nuts, Songs, Dances Plus Plot and Mystery Equal Show BY LESBETH LUCAS With March 5, 6, and 7 safely past, the 1942 Varsity show, directed by Dan Bailey, has become a part of Weber history- All that remains is a few bars of the theme song "All's Fair" hummed by mu sic lovers, with an ear for catchy tunes. Play-goers found their ways to the auditorium lined with green and white Swing U. banners. From beginning to end "All's Fair" struggled In an atmosphere too collegiate for words. The opening scene found Pete Petrie, rosy-cheeked idol of the female contingent of the audience, and Mildred McPhie, smiling idol of the opposite sex, engaged in living in a laboratory to impress their parents of their ability to get along by themselves. The plot soon thickened. Jay Olsen called upon these two and their pal, Dewey Hudson, to produce a varsity show to win national fame for the school. In the background lurked the hated rival school, Dirty Neck Tec. Trouble Starts All went well with rehearsal scenes giving the chorus, directed ably by Sophie Reed, a chance to display some attractive dance routines. Then complications began to set in. The star of the show, Pete, couldn't pass an exam. Another star of the show, Mildred, was hypnotized into thinking she was Cleopatra, queen of the Nile. Topping the list of sorrows was the fact that some dirty so and so had given all the original ideas of Swing U. to Dirty Neck Tec. But all's well that ends well. In one of the cleverest scenes of the production, Pete is pulled through his exam by a quartet who knows just when to sing to drown out his answers and a brain who supplies the right answers at the right time. The stern teacher becomes a heroine by bringing Mildred back from dream land. The villain from the rival campus is caught in the act. The entirely revised show is a great success. The curtain falls on an impressive military number featuring a duet by Jay Olsen and Mildred McPhie, tap dancing by Pete Petrie and Sophie Reed, and interesting routines by the entire chorus. Nits Bring Laughs Scattered throughout the action were the three nuts as promised. Joyce Squires and Neta Chard with glassy stares and snappy comebacks did well despite the too fa-(Contmued on Page Two) "dailies. Chief reason for the change, Anderson said, was the great difficulty of getting all the managing editors to judge the entries completely. He attributed this problem to their being always rushed with their own work, and particularly this would be true in 1942 because of the war, he said. The several editors of the magazine are obviously all well qualified, the editor showed, being established authors and with one exception English teachers of long experience. The men to whom the papers will be referred for judgment are George Snell, Grant Red-ford, Brewster Ghiselin, and Ray West, Jr. Snell is the author of several novels. West is a novelist and editor of a short story anthology. Ghiselin is a poet and writer of short stories. Redford authors plays and was the genius behind the famed Zion Easter pageant, tremendously popular in southern Utah. Snell is also script writer at KDYL radio station. West is instructor at Weber college, Ghiselin is instructor at the University of Utah, and Redford is instructor at the Branch Agricultural college. This year the judges will arrange the entries into classifications of merit and select the best one of the lot. Signpost will award certificates for the upper groups and a silver cup or plaque for the best paper. Anderson also pointed out that he expected the judges to be generous this year with written analyses of each paper. Doris Owens, contest editor, is collecting the high school publications and will submit them for judging some time shortly after April 1. Winners of previous years have been the papers of the South high school and the Provo high school. The contest is in its third year. Last Quarter Scribulus Is Successful Clever Cover Design And Defense Theme Outstanding BY DOROTHY CARDON Like a green oasis in a dusty desert, the winter quarter issue of Scribulus, campus literary magazine, offered momentary rest from studying with its appearance last examination week. Always a bright note under a student's arm the Scribulus cover outdid itself this time. The success of last issue's three-color process printed cover suffered eclipse at the hands of the dazzling four-color masterpiece of the current issue. Duller students were somewhat slow in interpreting the Farrell Collett design which cleverly portrays a Japanese beetle about to be erased by the clawed foot of the American eagle. However, the dawn of understanding brought hearty appreciation. Stories and Poems Stories of the magazine include "The Whole Damn Town" by Irene Bushell, a topical account of a growing boy's problems left somewhat incomplete. An English as-signment not aimed at publication was "The Prodigal Son" by William West. "China Chief" by Virginia Harris tells of a broken idol and a mended friendship. Virginia Nelson gives a picture of early pioneer life in southern Utah in "The Victorious Army of One." Aspiring bards of Weber contributed "Poem" by Wallace Pingree, a flight into dream land; "Attention, Local Draft Board" by Lesbeth Lucas, a not too serious appeal for a student draft; "Free Agency" by Maurice Richards, somewhat above the heads of most; and "Recall" by Carl White, a vivid picture of trench warfare. Defense Theme To round out the table of contents President H. A. Dixon of Weber contributed "The Old Order Changeth," a capable discussion of future problems facing a junior college and its students. "D'Femmes in Defense" by Marjorie McKee as told to Irene Bushell contrasted old-fashioned preparation for war with the effort modern girls are making. Maurice Richards penned a picturesque editorial dedicated to the theme of the magazine national defense. A montage by Jay Heslop, a light and shadow study by David Meyers, pen and ink sketches by David Meyers, Mel Owen, Douglas Stringfellow, and Mr. Collett, art instructor at Weber, ably represented the art department. Scribulus staff for winter quarter was composed of Maurice Richards, editor; Wallace Pingree, (poetry), Irene Bushell, (short story), and David Meyers, (art), associate editors; Virginia Harris, promotion manager; Sophie Reed, business manager; Wayne Carver, cirgulation manager; Alice Hodges, assistant; J. M. Heslop, photographer; Doris Owens, stenographer; Marjorie Farr and Chloe Yates, sophomore associates; Lesbeth Lucas and Carl White, freshman associates; Lorna Hull, Keith Black, Mel Owen, Bob Petty, and Douglas Stringfellow, art associates; Mr. Ray B. West, Jr., faculty adviser; and Mr. Farrell Collett, art adviser. Favorable comments from all sides have encouraged the staff to greater efforts. The next cover will be the supreme effort of the art department. Only one change has been suggested. Since a glance at the list of contributors brings a slight feeling of monotony and the opinion that only a handful of Weber students are able to break into the charmed inner circle, a transfusion of new blood may not be entirely out of order. Revised Yearbook Appears on Schedule in May On May 25 the 1941-42 Acorn will appear according to contract, states Maurine Duffine, editor. The forthcoming book will be changed and improved upon. A new layout woven around a central theme will set the volume aside from its predecessors. A feature will be informal classroom shots depicting campus life as it is for the greater part of the two years. Throughout will be scattered excellent examples of Weber student art work. Staff members hint at more than one surprise. With more than three-fourths of its 175 pages already at the Paragon Printing company offices, the 1941-42 Acorn holds the record for being the most nearly completed in the shortest time. Wartime disruptions necessitated an early printing. Reading of proofs is the only task left. Student Speakers Go to National Phi Rho Pi Meet Local M.I. A. Presents Dr. Bennion Noted Lecturer Will Speak on Subject Courtship, Marriage Featured on the next Institute of Religion's M. I. A. program will be Dr. M. Lynn Bennion, L- D. S. church supervisor of seminaries for the last seven years, who will discuss the topic of marriage and its related problems. Dr. Bennion, who is a graduate of the University of California, has lectured on this subject many times before large groups of people. This M. I. A. organization for college students will not attempt to hold regular M men-Gleaner girl class meetings for the rest of this year, but instead will arrange outstanding programs for the group as a whole. The program for next Tuesday evening, March 31, at seven-thirty p. m. is a good example.The first M. I. A. program was held Tuesday, March 17, and consisted of a worship service and a panel discussion. It was opened by soft preliminary music which formed a background for a Scripture reading by Mr. Ray B. West, Jr. Foliowing a selection by a string quartet ensemble headed by Emmett Wiggins, Mr. Thatcher All-red gave a series of fine ideas by various poets. Kay Anderson offered a prayer after which the string ensemble gave another number. Other music was furnished by recordings. Dr. Asahel D. Woodruff, institute director, presented names of the following students for officers in the mutual who were sustained: Elaine Grow and Don Johnson, presidents; Beverly Jurgens and Jack Janke, first counselors; Marjorie Farr and Edward Anderson, second counselors; and Arlene Paul, secretary. Don Johnson then outlined the rest of the year's program after which a panel discussion was held with Jack Janke acting as chairman. About Porter Rockwell The outstanding part of last Tuesday's program, March 24, was the lecture on Porter Rockwell by Mr. Nicholas Van Alfen, instructor at the Ogden seminary. Mr. Van Alfen, who wrote his master's thesis on the life of Porter Rockwell and has had several of his articles published in the Improvement Era, gave a very interesting account to the mutual group. Programs for following Tuesdays include a social with Orlo Childs as master of ceremonies, a lecture on Hawaii by Mr. Castle Murphy, a panel discussion, a lecture on Mexico by Orlo Childs, and a concluding social. New Switchboard Emphasizes Conveniences Distinct advantages over the old system ere claimed by the now switchboard, recently installed in the gym building. Location of the apparatus is much more convenient than previously, and also more quiet. From the operator's point of view, the privacy in which she can conduct her business is an advantage over the old method. Waste space in the college inn and bookstore was utilized to make two extra rooms, one of which contains the switchboard. This part of the inn was rarely used by students, so it is not likely to be missed. Mrs. Marion Brown pointed out a few improvements which are still needed. More phones with which to contact teachers, more drawer space, and better ventilation are included in this category. However, the lighting is quite sufficient. On the whole, the new system is very much better than old, Mrs. Brown reported. LOST AND FOUND Four pairs of glasses, a number of fountain pens, hooks, and keys as well as various other sundry articles form a lost and found collection in the treasurer's office. Anyone wishing to claim such an article should call at the office immediately. Seven Travel to Midwest Others Attend Utah-Idaho Tournament Vying with Phi Ro Pi members from the entire country, Weber students will go to the annual national Phi Ro Pi tournament, March 30 and 31, and April 1 and 2. The meeting place this year for the national honorary forensic society is the Wentworth military academy in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, about 30 miles from Kansas City. The Weber chapter of the forensic society plans to send five students accompanied by Mr. Leland H. Monson, debate coach, in one car which will' leave the campus Friday morning at six o'clock. Those to make the coveted trip are LaMar Buckner, Maurice Richards, John Vernieu, Roy Gibson, and Duane Russell. Two other students, Maurine Duffin and Rex McEntire, will make the trip by train. Enter Various Divisions Buckner, Richards, Vernieu. and Gibson will enter men's debate. McEntire and Buckner will participate in extemporaneous speaking, while Duffin and Russell enter the progressive debate. McEntire and Gibson are slated to speak in men's oratory and Buckner and Gibson expect to enter in radio speaking. Duffin will be Weber's lone entry into women's oratory. Officers of Phi Ro Pi will take charge of the event. They are R. Merville Larsen, president; Leland H. Monson, first vice president; Leslie Thomason, second vice president; Captain D. C. Buck, third vice president; Sylvia D. Mariner, secretary-treasurer; Mary Assel-tyne, national editor, and Donald Anderson, student representative. Last year the meet was held in Charlotte, North Carolina. Betty Lou Balch and Camille Larsen of Weber returned home with second place in national women's debate. Mark Austad, former student body president, received first place in radio speaking. Utah-Idaho Meet On March 27 and 28, Weber teams will enter the annual Utah-Idaho debate tournament. This meet will be held in Price, Utah, at the Car-ban junior college, under the direction of Mr. Lowell Barker, head of the Carbon speech department. Three or four teams including Wayne Carver and Frank Wahl-quist, Larene Jensen and Donald Taylor Donald Williams and Connell Roberts will make the trip by automobile. Weber's entry into the Utah-Idaho tournament will be somewhat unusual, since in previous years the national Phi Ro Pi meet and the local meet occurred at the same time, necessitating a choice.
