Show Constitutional Revision Speeded at W- A sub-committee of the board of control headed by Mr. Merlin Stevenson is striving to complete the revision of the student-body constitution sometime within the next three weeks so that action can be effected during this school year. When the revised constitution is in completed form, copies will be available in the library, in the social clubs, and various Other places which will be announced, where students may read the proposals, n Is urged by the committee members that every student read and study i arejully the constitution so that they might vote intelligently and thus produce a constitution representative of the students. Students are invited to attend any meetings held in connec tion with Ihe revising of the constitution and offer any suggestions they might have. Suggestions may also be written and sent to the board of control. After it has been made available to the students and a petition proposing the acceptance oi this revised constitution is signed by fifty bona-fide students an election will be held two weeks later. If this vote is an affirmative one, the constitution will be examined and passed upon by, ihe administrative board of education. TheVe are three basic reasons for the necessity of revising the constitution. First, during the past school years, a great number of amendments have been added, one after another, to the present constitution due to the development of many new activities, offices, etc. Second, there are several direct confllc-tions caused by these amendments and other reasons. When a confliction arises, the question is taken to the board of control where a solution is provided. A great number of these have coma up before the board and the members felt that it was really the students privilege to decide these problems, rhird, there are definite places Where improvements could be made. Kathryn Thornley and Glen Ecklund, members of the board of control, freshman and sophomore class officers and the advisor, Mr. Stevenson, have been working painstakingly the past months to complete this constitutional revision. qta, Independents Tie in Basketball Final results from the last girls' W. A. A. basketball intramural games took a surprising twist when Independents and lota Tau Kappa tied for first place, with six wins and one loss each, leaving La Dianaeda in second place with five wins and throe losses. Iota gave up their right for a straight first place when they I'M I .a l ianaeda battle to a winning score of 24-19. Independents and Kalamata sprinted through their game with an even score all the way. At the end oi the game the score was 20-20 so an extra two and one-half minutes were played. Independents came through with one basket and Kalamata waited till the last seconds to put their basket hrough the hoop, slil leaving the game tied. Because Independents had lost only-one game in the season, they tied with Iota Tau Kappa for first. r Insurance STATE FARM MUTUAL INSl'HANCK CO. Service Satisfaction Safety Savuings Bloomlngton, ill.

S. and Russia Firmly declaring that Russia and the United States will never fight each other, Edmond Stevens, war correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, addressed lecture goers, April 10, in the Weber college auditorium. He stated that it is unthinkable that these two great nations should be arrayed against each other. Two great nations with so much in common. In pointing out the similarity of the two countries, Stevens explained that Russia and the United States have never been at war with each other, although the two nations have lought most of 1he other coun- tries with which they are now allies. Citing many incidents in his own experience he indicated that the Russians admire the Americans and their methods and that the Russians, even in isolated regions know about our lend-lease gifts and will do almost anything for a straneer when they hear he is an American. Re aiso implied that the American and Russian inter-ests are parallel, rather than conflicting, and stated that it is much easier to build a case for post-war cooperation than for conflict in the years to come. Stevens, who speaks the Rus sian language fluently and who. in August, served as interpreter and technical advisor for the Winston Churchill party from Cairo to Moscow, avowed that "Russia and Stalin are no riddle. "The truth is," se said, "that Stalin is probably the most consistent head of government in the world and we can chart his future course by studying his aims and accomplishments of recent years." Pointing out that Russia has suffered more in this war than any other nation has suffered in history, Mr. Stevens stated that the Russians are anxious to return to peace. The total Russian lives destroyed have been 2o.000,000, of which all but 7,-000,000 were civilians, he disclosed. If the United States from the Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi!! river had been devastated by invaders, our loss would represent what Russia has lost. Russia will move against Japan, the lecturer said, not out of Iriendslup for anybody, bat to i obtain the security the nation must have to rebuild itself.

JL w ' SIGNPOST Former Prof Uses Art in Navv Program Quiet and soft spoken head of the production unit of training aids at Roosevelt base small craft training center is Lt. Far-rell R. Collett, USNR, who has been in the navy since September, 1942. Prior to the time that be entered the navy. Lt. Collett was on the faculty here at Weber, teaching academic and vocational art. An art major graduate from the Brigham Young university, he lacks only the completion of final examinations before he receives his master's degree. The 37 year old officer is married and has one son, Michael, aged 1, who is displaying inclinations, according to his father, of becoming another Lefty Grove. Of his wife, he says, "She is my most ardent admirer and severest critic." His department is the site of probably one of the most interesting, but least conspicious activities on the base. A part of the training aids department, it is spoken of as the "production unit." As such, it operates on the theory that, "seeing is learning." "It is our job," relates Lt. Collett, "to produce anything of a visual or manipulative nature which will in any way simplify : raining on the base, and, whenever possible, , assist crews already aboard ships." It is at just this type of specialized work that he and the 15 people who work under him keep busy day in and day out. Production in this unit means supplementing textbook study with educational drawings, cartoons, posters, and any aft or pictorial illustrations which will enable the average trainer at the base to get the most out of us training there. Out of the production unit of raining aids also come the many intricate engineering drawings, layouts, and plans used in classroom work and aboard ships. All are the work of qualified draftsmen attached to. Lt. Collett's staff. The unit is equipped with various devices such as the off-set printing machine for getting out textbook material, damage control manuals, sliips organi zation rata, and other material. Last Christmas, 10,0000tri-col-ored menus were printed on it. Also under this small but mul-tiforious department is he training aid shops, which is staffed by two specialists in precision design and construc tion1. Here working models ot ships, cargo handling gear, etc.. are built for use in various phases of training. On the whole, however, most of the production stems not from the machinery and mechanical devices, but rather from the fertile and creative craniums of Lt. Collett and his competent staff, most of whom were engaged in similar work in civilian life.

The new boarder, a prominent professor at Weber, is very much welcomed as a member of the institution. Since the early part of the fall quarter, when the boys' dor-mi lory was christened "Happy-dale," home for the feebleminded, there has been a constant demand for accommodations, though no faculty member, up to the present, has had the temerity io apply. Verl Graser, Ray Barnard, Lamar Burnett and Arbie Dale were first to occupy rooms at "Happydale," and are given credit as founders of the institution. Later on new tenants Robert Keller, Ray Dabb and Robert Baird were admitted as full-fledged members. Some time later the arms of matriomonia) bliss captured Keller, the army snatched Burnett, and Arbie graduated on the basis of good behavior, leaving "Happydale" the sad possessor of a gruesome foursome. During the last month the institution was honored by the presence of Mr. Harry Nelson, the horticulturist, from California. At the same time James Rider and Don DeWitt were accepted as curbale cases, and are expecting to leave in the near future. The progress of the institution is now denoted by the importance of our most recent boarder. , Mr. Neville has become one of us, and it is expected that his name will add luster to a somewhat tarnished list.
