Show Behling Endorses Using Atomic Bomb for Peace Says Bomb Best Assurance of Peace in The Years to Come Use of the atomic bomb for preserving world peace was indorsed by Glen J. Behling, Weber alumnus, 1939, during his recent visit. As a chemist for the Dupont company, the former "straight A" student has worked extepsively both at the Han-ford Engineering Works, Richland, Wash., and Oak Ridge, Tenn. "I'm definitely in favor of Its We! iters For WEBER COLLEGE SIGNPOST Thursday, December IS, 1945 Page 3 Swenson Training Wildcats DoM n use for the maintenance of world peace, and I would also like to see extensive research and development in the use of Plutonium or U 235 for rammer-elal purposes," h- staled. "I also feel that the government should maintain the present Hanford Engineering works as one of the major research centers," the chemist added. "Furthermore, I feel that the government should ease up on the controls placed in the tcn-ative bill before congress. Otherwise much individual research concerning practical uses of atomic power will be stifled." Starting out at Weber college as a terminal student, which may be defined as one who takes at most only two years of college for the purpose of entering a trade, the brilliance of the youth soon gave him away. He-was advised to transfer to academic courses and go on for a professional career. In pursuing it, he made an "A" record despite the fact thai he was forced to carry extra hours be cause of his wrong start. He had also been an "A" student at Og-den high school. At the Utah State Agricultural college, Logan, he graduated in bacteriology and biochemistry in 1942 and was co-valedictorian During his last year, he also served as assistant instructor in biochemistry. Dupont, however, shifled him to other chemical lines early in the war. Asked if this were not the wrong thing to do, he said tha It was a common practice with the giant firm, particularly in wartime, and indicated that working in other fields of chemistry had been a valuable, experi once. An experience he recalls at Oak Ridge was observing a passerby whom he took for Danic! (Danny) Drumiler, former Weber college student body treasurer. Behling avoided the danger of accosting a stranger by whistling "Purple and White," and at once paralized Drumiler in his tracks with the strains of the college song.

Leon is a veteran of the marines. He received his training prior to going overseas at San Diego, marine corps base, and then took special training at the San Diego naval base. Leon relates that while helping to remove wounded personnel that probably the best diversion was listening to Tokyo Rose. She was their most frequent form of entertainment. According to Leon, she usually gave out the "straight dope" as to anything pertaining to where or what they were doing. Leon received his medical discharge in the Curana naval hospital this- year. He attended WC in 1941-1942 when he was very active in school affairs. Ex-Weber Coach Is OHS Mentor Ogden high school secured the services of Milton Mecham to serve in the capacity of football coach succeeding Keith Wangs-gard who gave up the position last week to go into bui jisss. Mecham was assistant football coach at Weber college in 1940-41, coming here from the University of Utah where he was one of the prominent stars on the football team. While there he was also in charge of the men's dormitory. The members of this year's Ogden high team met the new coach when they turned in their football uniforms at the end of the season, which terminated last week. Sports observers be lieve that Mecham will produce an outstanding team for Ogden as soon as he gets settled in his new spot. Mecham was in tl)e marines in the Pacific theater of operations and served in numerous invasions and landings. While in the Pacific his service and high qualifications gained, him several battlefield, promotions and he rose from an enlisted man to the rank of major. He was discharged in October.

A limited sample poll of students and teachers reveals a sentiment in favor of making typing a requirement because of its advantages in school and vocational life. Three out of five instructors felt definitely that typing skill would be an advantage in presenting papers for their classes. Making the type class a required one would tend to guarantee that students would acquire? vhat abiity, it wan felt. Opposition arspng the instructors took the turn that there are too many required classes :iqw. Out of 20 students, 15 would like to see typing required. Those who now type said that the skill nas ataea tr.em, and most ot 1 their swimming tc those who do not type stated ' come cut with a that they wish they could. Clarence Wilson, typing in-slrv.ctor, indicated ' that ono quarter, of typing-v.-cu'd be-uf-ficient to insure a typing sk'il! sufficiently great to do terrr capers.
