"' "Was That My Announcement?" Dissenting murmurs have finally gained volume enough to warrant our negative opinion on the method o presenting announcements in assembly Weber's new game of. "Guess what?" Mr. Young, or whoever is responsible, we politely dare you to sit in the rear seats and catch nil the notices as read by whoever is sucker enough to try their deliverance. Now, as the washwoman said when her garters caught in the mop, "This is an implorable Mate of affairs." The main and simple reason is that the assemblies are the best place to present pregnant information to the combined student body. Now, when this method is no more effective than a drop of Scotch in a gallon of Artesian H20, we think the solution should be changed. Surely, ' by careful organization and time limitation the assembly can improve upon the old way and yet avoid the futility of the new system. Verna Watts claims that the scrawls she was given to read in assembly needed redecorating from cellar to attic, a change ot furniture, and a set of walls that, would keep magpies out. Every time she went to read a sentence that began comprehensibly with "a" or "the" or' "it have been decided," one of these magpies would coast in through the cracks and get in her hair with some language like, "It have been decided rat mice regresh-ments swill be swurved." . . . NERO'S WIFE by Helen Fletcher "Number, please?" "Hello," came a voice. "That you, Harriet?" She paused only long enough for Harriet's cvcry-cl.iy answer to come skimming over the wires. '"S me." "Just thought I'd call you up to see how ya wuz," said Linda. She shifted her position to make herself a bit more comfortable, then lapsed into the real reason for her call. "You see it's this way. Last night me 'n Bill took in the show at the Palace. You know Merrill Gwynn and Gilda Lander in the "Purple Passion." Is he handsome! And can he make love! That little mustache of his makes him so adorable ! Why, do you know, 1 tore up the only good hankie I had left when he crushed her in his arms after rescuing her from Ivan Gottaswitch.

"Will you please hang up so 1 can call the fire department?" interrupted a breathy voice. The ice cream factory's on fire 1" "Tsk, tsk. And I suppose all the poor little ice cream cones will melt from the heat. My!. My! Brother, you can't fool me! As 1 was saying, Harriet, before I was so rudely interrupted, that Gailcy girl and' her boy friend were sit ting right in front of us. He had his arm around her and they .wen as close together as Linda's eyes came to rest, on a magazine in the book rack. "As close as the covers of a Liberty." "Lady, I'm telling you the truth ! Won't you please hang up?" plead ed the voice again. "Some duffer trying to get on the line, Harriet. Don't pay any attention to him. Well, Bill 'n me finally had to change scats. We couldn't watch two shows at the same time." "Lady, for God's sake hang up !" "Go peddle your papers, youni man. We were on this line first and we're not going to hang up. Go away. Don't bother us with your little jokes about burning factories. I've been on a party line for ten years now and I know all the tricks that people use to get folks on the line to hang up. So run away, little boy; go play your tricks on somebody else." "But, lady, I'm not trying to foo! you. Please hang up ! Just for a minute then you can have the line back again. My factory's on fire ! It's burning down !" "Don't try that sob stuff on me, young man. This is once it won't work." "Hang tip !, For heaven's sake hangup! Please! She's going!" "Now there, sonny, just calm yourself. It'll be all right. Mamma will fix. But if you don't get off this line so me 'n Llarriet can finish talking . . ." Linda's voice took on an ominou note.

Repairing PARLEY M. - ELLISON DRY CLEANING 7he GutMde WcAd cut; foue;g. policy by Harold Benscn The. foreign polrey" "of the Wi!-sonian Democracy ; which the American-people-overwhelmingly- repudiated-in 1920 appears to be making its fcappearanee under the leadership, of President Roosevelt. .'One cannot help -but note a strong tendency on the part'of the present "administration to take"" an increasingly greater part in European affairs. This type of policy is breaking the precedent established by the three previous administrations (Harding, Coolidge and Hoover) of maintaining a state of comparative isolation. It appears that Mr. Roosevelt has an earnest desire toJtake a. prominent and decisive part in European affairs. . Possibly the vision ol emulating the achievements ol that illustrious Democrat (Wilson) is what has actuated him to take this course. Possibly the president is attempting to lay down a new standard which will characterize our relations with foreign countries in the future. Other conjectures might be ad vanced for this alteration m our foreign policy, but the reasor. why the president took this course does not concern us deeply; what the president intends to do in the future does.' The American people are finical about the way foreign relations of the U. S. are conducted. For this reason every administration handles these problems with prudence. Many of our presidents have been vigorously lauded for the stand they have taken on certain foreign issues, Ftich as, Grant and the Alabama claims, Cleveland on the Venezuelan controversy, McKinley on the Spanish-Cuban issue and Theodore Roosevelt on the settlement of the Russo-Japanese war. Other presidents have been severely ridiculed for their stand on certain issues, such as the tragedy of 1919-1920 when Wilson suffered the humiliation o! having his policies repudiated. And so in view of these facts President Roosevelt does not have to feel his way in conducting our foreign affairs. A course built up of traditions and precedents has already been laid for him to follow. He can capitalize on the blunders of the past or he can initiate his own individual policy. But there is no justifica tion for repeating the mistakes of the past. We are now wondering how far the president will deviate from the traditional road. The president up to date has made no definite assertion on the course he will take. All we can do is judge his activities. The administration was but three months old when the president took the dramatic step of addressing fifty-four nations and warning them that world chaos awaited unless non - aggression pacts were signed. He simultaneously dispatched his ambassador-at-large, Norman Davis, to press for a disarmament conference. He unsuccessful; attempted to get the U. S. senate to ratify the protocol for our entrance into the International Court of Justice. He took an active part in the ill-fated Geneva disarmament conference, the unfortunate London economic conference, and the naval conference at London. The president has vigorously asserted himself on European questions. His famous "quarantine" speech at Chicago last year caused a tremendous stir throughout the world but it left us still in doubt as to the original intentions of Mr. Roosevelt. Last month Mr. Roosevelt made a dramatic appeal to the European powers to adjudicate the Chechoslovakian dispute by peaceful methods. Now these activities are not out Lunch at the i ! COLLEGE !

When, by force of tradition class was eliminated for the Weber Homecoming Friday, Mr. Young called a special class for Monday morning at 8 o'clock. The students, bewildered" over the loss of an hour's sleep, came to class in no mood'for lecture" One outstanding student thought' of the amazing idea of a peanut bust. Peanuts were passed among the students, and Mr. Young's lecture was given with a none too pianissimo accompani ment of cracking peanut shells. Finally, chagrined, Mr. Young paused, spied the large sack ol nuts, and amid the laughter oi the class abandoned the lecture for a simple repast of peanuts. The point is that the students feel that the idea of a makeun class is untenable, to put it con servatively. U. S. A. C. BAND APPEARS IN CONCEKT U. S. A. C. band of eighty members appeared in assembly Friday, November 18, under the leadership of Professor N. W. Christianson. The program was comprised of several numbers from the band and instrumental and vocal solos. After the program "the banc! went down to Hotel Ben Lomond where thev ate a belated breakfast. . . ' . LYCEUM PROGRAM CHANGED Weber's next Lyceum program, announces Mr. Guy Hurst, will be that of Sam A: Howa, an internationally famous magician who just arrived from a European tour. He willannear for a brief preview November 29 in assembly and in the evening at 8:00 o'clock in the Weber college auditorium. WEBER'S SYMPHONY BROADCASTS Weber's symphony orchestra made its initial appearance November 16 at 6:30 p. m. on the Weber college broadcast over KLO. The orchestra, composed of 40 members under the direction of Mr. Johnson, gave two numbers; Adagio and Allegro movements from Symphony in D Major, Hayden; and March of the Sardar from Caucasian Sketches, Ippolitow-Iwanow. of the ordinary, but the spirit in which they have been accomplished has been sudden and decisive. They leave us with the impression that the United States is attempting to take a larger voice in world affairs. We feel that the president wants tc do something for the peace of the world but the method that he intends to employ has the nation wondering. . -. j We Invite You All to Ogden's Largest Sport and Toyland j !

Each time the Weber line made its offensive charge, Don's opponent either scratched, bit, or kicked him. Finally Don got his chance. There was a big pile-up in "which Don and his opponent seemed to be in the middle of the fray; the opponent's hand was right in the line of fire. Don isn't one to pass up such an opportunity. He bit. Ouch! It was his own hand. Sam Burton. What's the matter with the mugs who insist on rushing the checkstand after the dances? These guys go in and help themj-selves to the coats, break door windows and make a mess of things in general. Something better be done or a few good coats may walk off with someone besides their owners. I I was roughly jolted down itb earth in faculty assembly of some time past when President Dixon appeared as the leader of the Infernal Wclchcrs. The ability he displayed made me realize the democracy of this school The faculty put on what was probably one of the most colic giate assemblies I have seen at Weber college. The assembly was a turning point in my school life, because it made me realize that these profs we stare at all day are really human beings with plenty of college spirit. They proved that they have been through the mill and are capable of showing us the way up. These grown-up kids who are trying to pound knowledge into our fragile sculls are in reality college boys and girls who haven't had enougn of college life. So let's cooperate, guys and gals, and show them a good time before we pass on to other fields. Ted Collins. Stop at . . . I FRED SKRIVENS j For Your BOOKS - stationery!
