Aren't you wondering how this Felt-Wallwork situation is developing Athleen is. What charming brunette escorts F. Limberg to Business 17 occasion- ally? Will Rusty ever stop starting his 10-00 class by saying, "Emma, take a letter"? He might if Emma ever breaks down and takes the letter. Just what is it you are so anxious to say, Dick? 1 It's been rumored that the fresh-ies wore their loud clothes to attract attention. Yeah? Is C. Whitely going to send his bill to Weber college or just to the sophomore class? These sophomore fellows just don't seem to be able to behave themselves. Just exactly who do you think Emma Jean Hinley's b. m. o. c. (big man on campus) is now that Bramwell has graduated? (Did I say graduate?) Question of the week: Why is . Joyce so inaccessible? Vivian P. and Glen Hadley are hitting the high spots, it's rumored.Have you noticed Edna Loughran and Con Morris together lately? Third time's charm, Con. What with first Merle W., then Vivian P., and now Edna, this really ought to be good. We hear Darrell Deis had his eye on a very pretty little brunette freshman gal. What's matter, Darrell, did your eyes get crossed or . are you color blind? We've seen " you lately struttin' your stuff again with Hank Miller. Gordon Barney has a sad time. Maybe if he goes to Weber long " enough he'll find himself a true love. Have you heard about Skip F. being a big bad wolf? Skip, just what did you say to Donnelle Olsen to bring forth such a statement? Or do . . .? Now what we wonder is, "Are all librarians born with a chip on their - shoulder, or do they just acquire one after a few years? Pretty uncomfortable, isn't it, Miss Grose? Bud Larson, that little blond . over in the vocational building, is having the heat put on him. Take it easy, Ruth Mary. You know, of course, that he has a girl friend down at the "U." . Have you heard the latest? Verna Lindsay is back in town. Gals, hold on to those boy friends now. (Did I hear some one say, "What boy friends"?) Is it true that Mary Lou Madsen and Skip are on the verge of going steady? Now of all things! Skip all but made her Mardi Gras cos- tume for her. You should have seen him puzzling over the pattern. Quite confidentially Fred Foulger is very, very disillusioned with love. Ruth Shurtliff could have something to do with that. We hear Kathleen Benson is unfair to organized lovers. What about it, Jesse? Nice going, Betty Lou Balch. Dan Curtis is a feather in any girl's . cap. Rumors of dissatisfaction are beginning to float around. Why don't we have any of those good old student body dances this year? Orchids to the two Otyokwa girls who pledged Pi Beta Phi at the "U." Odette Scowcroft and Jean Richards. Remember Mutt Wright? We hear he's the proud pappa of a little baby girl. Booooooo! In fact double Boooooo to all you disloyal Weberites who t didn't turn up at the game Satur- - day. Not even our freshman cheer leader was on hand. Tsk, tsk, and after the school bought you such a beautiful uniform, Clair.

What is it that makes Christmas look like a local holiday? You've guessed it, all right, the saddle shoe contest. Yessir and believe it or not the very, very lucky winners have been picked. Yes, it was a hard and' close race, but true sloppiness deserves merit, and the two winners will not go unrewarded. The staff swells, in fact we might say, it even bursts (we've been on the verge of it for quite some time) with pride in announcing that Emma Jean Hinley and Gordon Barney are the slouchy Liz and sloppy Joe of the quarter. When interviewed upon her triumph, all Emma Jean could say was, "Well, I'll be darned." Gordon was not so reticent as Emma Jean: "If you think these are dirty now, wait till you see them next spring," was the sentiment he hurled at us as he grinningly posed with Emma Jean while Howard Warner snapped their picture. Congratulataions, you two. for your success. Ex-President Returns (Continued from Page OneJ 'Weber credits are good anywhere in the United States," he elucidated. "I experienced no friction. No delay, They readily enrolled me in the upper division of the university. And another thing, I found that wherever you go, school or otherwise, the record that you establish at Weber always precedes you." At this point passed a grinning freshie. "Central High stuff," remarked Merle. "Er-no, couldn't be: They moved 'em. Didn't they? A freshie, eh. They haven't much color this year . . ." He laughed an Allen laugh which meant no harm intended, and said, "That reminds me. I hope the freshmen realize the importance of a satisfactory grade point. It counts for more the higher you go. Seriously." Merle was in his old form now. "Also, each freshman, to get the most out of college, should participate in at least one extra-curricular activity. It's experience that cannot be replaced. And more than that. It's experience that'll mean more and more in succeeding years." Merle stopped for breath. Whereupon I ventured upon another tangent. "And Darle?" I remind: Merle got more out of lingham, Don McClanahan and Don Hatch while their women were down at the A. W. S. convention blind dating on them. But that afternoon cave man Hatch was seen to put a small blonde wearing a tweed (?) sport coat into his (or someone's) jallopy and drive geeallantly away . . .

The main meetings featured remarks on the big-sister program of A. W. S. chapters, through which college women acquaint freshman women with campus life, class problems and methods of registration. More than forty women, including the officers of the Weber A. W. S., attended the convention. Miss Gertrude Thody, instructor at Weber, was one of the speakers. She conducted a panel discussion on "Some Vocational Opportunities for Women." Other speakers were: Dean Myrtle Austin, U. of U. : Rhoda Lee Barclay, Coordinator, Salt Lake City Board of Education; Betty Burton, personnel director for Keith O'Brien store in Salt Lake. Weber than the average male student does. Merle got a wife. A lovely coed. She has character too. One Darle Richards. "About Darle, Merle, now remember . . ." Merle beamed. "Yes, indeed." You mean about us. We get along very nicely. She's a definite help. Who says they're handicaps?" Not feeling argumentative, I hastened on. I asked Merle the final question, and reecived the final reply: "Homecoming? You couldn't keep me away," he replied authoritatively. "Nor Darle either." Pause, and then, "I'll see Darle about it." "That apple I just ate had a worm in it." "What! Here, drink this water and wash it down." "Aw let 'im walk down."

Music Pledges Join Chanodo Club Amid impressive candlelight ceremonies in the drawing room of the Hotel Ben Lomond, Chanodo pledged eight girls Sunday. White tapers and gardenias floating in bubble bowls adorned the table. Following the ceremony, breakfast was served in the English room with Miss Beryl Dickens, presiding. The centerpiece, made into the shape of a sword, the club's emblem, was white carnations. Each girl wore a gardenia corsage. Pledges included Beth Ipson, Athleen Cordon, Norma Smith, Helen Reburg, Katherine De Mik, Alice Kapple, Margaret Bachman, and Ruth Cunningham. Members present were Beryl Dickens, Jeanne Johnson, Marion Toone, Maxine Whitmeyer, Druce Foutz, Dorothy Chatland, Margaret Feeney, Katherine Farr, Elaine Froer, Betsy Service, and Miss Marian Read, the club advisor. Saddle Shoes Are Part of Girl's Wardrobe BY DOROTHY RICHARDSON With the rage of saddle oxfords, "slouchy Liz" sweaters and ankle socks, come boos and bouquets for those who wear them. These articles are now being included in many college girls wardrobes. Several views are expressed by W. C. students. Louise Dixon says, "I think they're O. K. They're fun." Keith Wilcox thinks, "They go O. K. for a while." Jeanne Johnson's idea is that, "On the right person I think they're all right, but I think I'm the wrong person." Jessie Fish says, "They're O. K., but not for me." Marjorie Garner ambiguously stated, "Give me my boots and saddle." Leonard Miller says, "Anklets are O. K., but not these knee-length stockings. The girls stole the sloppy sweater idea from the boys." LauRene Thompson replies, "I guess they're O. K., but I don't think the saddle oxfords should be so awfully dirty." Mr. Farrell Collett's able opinion is: "There are a lot of things I'd do for comfort, too, if it weren't for what people think. Ankle socks are all right if you can stand the cold." One anonymous teacher says, "Ankle sox sure asell don't do much for big legs." The general opinion of the several persons interviewed seems to be, that there are several types; only certain girls can wear this type of clothes and "get away with it." La Dianaeda Girls Accept Pledges La Dianaeda was hostess to fourteen new girls at a Sunday morning breakfast, October 29, at the recently opened Terrace Tearoom. The girls will be made pledges at the traditional pledging ceremony, which will be conducted as soon as there is a crescent moon. Miss Dorothy Coleman, adviser of the club, gave a short talk on what is expected of the pledges and on the relationship of the club to the school. The president, Florence Main, and the vice president, Rama Eyre, expressed what a club should mean to the girls and what it does mean to the members. The girls welcomed were: June Wayment, Marjorie Anderson, Helen Tillotson, LauRene Thompson, Margaret Todd, Ardell Russell, Beverly Peterson, Norine Call, Gladys Johnson, Virginia Moore, Virginia Allen, Ellen Hadfield, Ruth Taylor, Helen Betty White. The members present were: Florence Main, Rama Eyre, Shirley Poulton, Donna Jenkins, Janet Hilton, Carol Smith, Marcelle Simpson, Marian Mikkleson, Janet Morrin, Doris Secrist, Betty Watson, Lottie Lund, Margaret Tarran, Afton Huff, Charlene Clark, and Netta Lavin.

A. W. S. Officers Have a Big Time on Date "The A. W. S. Convention?" Carol Smith repeated my question with the most blank look, and then a twinkle, a faraway look came into her eye. "Oh, yes. Y'know they were three of the most handsome fellows I ever saw, but I'm glad to be home." And it seems they really were handsome! "They" meaning the blind dates the A. W. S. officers had to escort them to the dance the first night of the A. W. S. Convention in Salt Lake, last Friday and Saturday. To begin at the beginning and state it in their own words it was really rather silly. Not the convention the dates. The girls waited upstairs for the phone to ring and announce that Mr. so-and-so was waiting for Miss Smith downstairs. So Carol went down. It was only eight o'clock but there were several men grouped around already. When Carol finally found him, she told him it was only eight o'clock and to go home and come back at nine! He came back at 8:20 and they went to look at some polo ponies just ask Carol about polo and jitterbugging. A jitter-bugging, polo-playing fraternity man! We need a convention at Weber! Flo's was the son of A BANK PRESIDENT! AND his father has just donated the sweetest little coupe I think Flo said coupe. And nothing more can be said. We heard that Shirley got a strong, silent "yes man." But when we asked Shirley about it, she said, "Oh, he was nice." He wanted to take her and show her some pictures not etchings, pictures. However Don Shirley said, "No." (Note: See Scandals for the other side.) And Ethel she wasn't just quite satisfied. Anyhow, they all agree that the convention was a big success. Otyokwa Installs Papooses The new papooses of Otyokwa were installed at a banquet last Sunday night, October 29, at the Cobble Cottage. White tea roses, framed on either side by slim green tapers, formed the centerpiece for the squaws' feast. At the plate of each papoose sat a tiny Indian doll. Amid the shimmering candle glow, the new girls pledged themselves to Otyokwa. The girls who now wear the tiny gold arrowhead signifying a papoose of Otyokwa are Ida Smith, Betty Smalley, Ro-sella Larkin, Mary Heiner, Shirley Scoville, Ruth Shurtliff, Mary Lou Madsen, Athleen Woods, Helen Fuller, Valeen Wright, Ruth Packer, Clara Gilman, Emma Jean Hinley, Louise Dixon, Emma Martin, Carolyn Smith, Ethyl Hogge, Mary Allen, Neva Huggins, Merle Wood, Betty Lou Balch, and Donna Marie Curran. The members present at the dinner were Babbie Earls, Ruth Tol-hurst, Doraine Herbert, Clara Miller, June Tracy, Betty McCune, Loraine Baird, Ann Danvers, Kay Storey, Barbara Reeve, Edna Loughran. Merle Sackett, and Shirley Critchlow.

At 6:30 Sunday morning members called for the pledges and took them to Knob Hill, where the breakfast was served. The girls were seated at a long table having a centerpiece of white roses and at each end long green candles. Place cards were green, miniature Greek horses. At each girl's place was a corsage, a white rose. The new pledges were Lorraine Ritchie, Ruth Webb, Helen Harris, Bernice Mclntyre, Lois Burnett, Faye Anderson, Arlene Jenson, Norma Brown, Aileen Larsen, Gladys Godfrey, Elsie McKay, Betty Smeding, and Hazel Reynolds. Members present were Helen Moore, Ruth Jacobs, Lorene Taylor, Edith Anderson, Marjorie Garner, Roberta Wade, Delia Marriott, Gayle Seymour, Kathleen Jones, Agnes Jensen, Kathleen Benson, Helena Danielson, club advisor, Marie Lund, Lois Belnap, Luella London, Evelyn Tibbitts, Eleanor Scoville, and Va Lois Burnett. Lois Belnap and Luella London were in charge of the breakfast. Excelsior Fetes New Members Seventeen new pledges were the guests of Excelsior last Friday night at a buffet supper at the El Monte clubhouse. Kent Rounds, president, welcomed the new fellows into the club. Gordon Bader, a former Excelsior man, now attending the University of Utah, spoke impressively and convincingly to the new pledges, telling what the club has meant to him. The presence of several alums was equally impressive to the new fellows. The pledges were Walter Wool-sey, Junior Squires, Junior Reynolds, Howard Smith, Howard Page, Wayne Boyle, John Eccles, Rodney Dunn, Alan Henderson, Glen Hadley, Cork Critchlow, Jack Haz-en, Eddie Dayhuff, Jerry Clark, Garrett Wolthius, James Whetton, and Grant Hinchcliff.

Quote LeMoyne Peterson, president of Frenisti. Perhaps Mr. Peterson was subject to favorable impressions, but the fact is that the Mardi Gras was still a pretty good affair. Mass per unit volume on the dance floor that night created a terrific pressure: in excess of 200 j pounds to the square foot (or round .

The refrigerated facts, verified by the "take," indicated that there were 175 couples at the dance. Wild Spirit of Revelry Racy thing at this year's Mardi Gras was the hilarity. The 175 couples really got that genuine, down-south, Mardi Gras spirit. Circles of barroom tenors had the whiskey wheeze all right. They got in the middle of the floor and formed circles that obstructed traffic. Hi-Hatters' orchestra was right in the groove. Many a man and maid were sent from this world when chic Dallas Porter, all glamored up, chilled 'em on the vocals. Decorations were strictly corn. Piles of it in each corner afforded a "simple but tasteful" decoration easy to put up. The Judges Liked And now costumes. Honorable mention by your own rural correspondent: Don Hatch's imitation of Alley Oop and Oola. And Oola, Shirley Poulton that used to be. Then the two ghosts walked in. The ones with dough on their faces. The barkeeps were handsome, mighty 'andsome, sor. And now the costumes that the judges liked.

Wilford Smeding had best costume for men. He was a female temporarily. His prize was an expensive kodak. Cleverest costume for girls was Afton Huff's hotcha, New Orleans style --colored but very young in her ways. Some absent-minded fellow came out to the dance without his pants and coat and got a prize for having the funniest costume. But he remembered to lock the back gate as he left. That kept prowlers out. You guessed it: He was in his scanties long-legged, trap door type. Sherman French had the loudest socks. He was awarded a tie, but not to match. Award for the best club booth went to Phoenix and Otyokwa, architects of the Lone Star Saloon. They will receive an eight by ten oil painting of themselves. Phoenix Accepts New Members The new fall crop of Phoenix pledges were officially accepted Friday night when present members Fred Foulger, Dan Curtis, Lewis Briggs, Rolfe Peterson. Sylvan Godfrey, Frank Limburg, Eugene Brough, and Taylor Becraft conducted their initial pledge party of the year in the Hotel Ben Lomond Japanese room. The entertainment consisted mainly of impromptu clowning by Dan Curtis, program chairman, and Grant Neuteboom, pledge. Alumnus Jim Renell and adviser Dr. Dean Anderson saw that those present abstained from too much orangeade and chocolate milk, while skits were performed and pledges were introduced. Pledges included: Grant Neuteboom, Blair Evans, Earl Tanner, Lloyd Luddington, Winslow Gardner, Reed Coray, Ross Ekins, Franklyn Mann, Larry Garr, Keith Wilcox, Con Morris.
