In keeping with our standards of 'Quailty First' many additions to our teaching staff will be made," he continue "to keep the size of classes down and maintain our high istruc-tional standards." 1 The President reiterated" how good it is to see all these fine boys coming back," then hastily added, "and you know that , I think the women of Weber college are the very best."

It is on the train that they meet Miss Fortune, a lone- Jy little woman of advanced years who befriends them, takes them to her home, and falls an easy victim in their hands. Playing the suave roll of Sa- hib, the tatner ot tne iamons is John L. Shorten, who gives an excellent portrayal. His perfor. formarke as the crafty card shark and slicker is played both humorously and convincingly. Contrast Shown Miss Marilyn Robinson as Miss Fortune gives an outstanding performance as The little old Jady" whose trust in humanity, in contrast to the mode of life of the crooks around her. Provides a good bit of pathos and emotion. She stays well in character throughout the difficult role. Mary Ellen Bailey, who plays the role of George -Anne, upon whose shoulders the initiative for the Carlton family falls, is charming in her role, as is Gladys Sargent as Marmy, who gives a suggestion of a take-off on Billy Burke. Jean T. Bailey as Sarah, Miss Fortune's housekeeper, does a good bit of character acting in her portrayal and lends good support to the opposition in the play. Coming in for his share of the honors is Harold Tippets as Richard, the brother, in the Carl, ton family. He has good stage presence and a naturalness that is refreshing. Love Interest John Grover Kelly as Duncan MacCree, with a slight Scotch accent, who provides the love in terest with George-Anne, gives a vivacious portryal and provides a good bit of the comedy in the play.

Ceremony Will Honor Ninety-three At Commencement Speakers Named For Baccalaureate Service Mrs. Clairisse Hall, Weber College regi strar, recently announced a tentative list of students approved for graduation in June. It was stressed that final approval of graduation will depend upon successful completion of remaining work in the spring quarter. At the same time, it was announced that Dr- E. Allen Bateman will deliver the commencement address at excercises June 5. in the Moench building auditorium. A program of special musical numbers has been arranged, Improvement Seen In Budget Crisis The budget problem which faced the treasurer's office recently has let up considerably ! with lhe i"waion of a new sys.tem of fili"g laims against he Veteran's Administraion plus ; the fac that regisrants are not I increasing with as much rapid- gg prevjousy ts 1,eimbursed for veterans education at the dlose of the quarter for which ucl "a W " j is on'y natural the.budget should ; be strained. Harold Handley, school treasurer, expressed the view. "We warif the students to get the books and supplies that they need so that their work here i wni be productive. We are do- jn,g. everything we can to get i these things. ' He said further. "We are quite concerned that the Vets atpreciate he difficulties that we face in securing the books and supplies." A more generous outlay for school activities of all sorts in th coming school year seems probable and is certainly the hope of those concerned. Missing Alumnus Reported Killed On Bouganville Lt.

Guest of honor will be Mr. W. D. Zeller of the Anderson Jewelry Company which sponsors the contest and presents a gold medal to he winner. Reason Cited For Delay In Vet Payments Weber college veterans' councilors today released the following statement for veterans who have not received subsistence checks. "Some of you are still wondering why you are not receiving your subsistence checks There are still several 1953 forms (certificate of eligibility and entitlement that havent been turned in to the college. If you are still holding your certificate, then that is the answer to your I question about subsistence. If you have received your Cert if i cate of Eligibility and have filed it with the College, then you should be receiving payment. If, however, you haven't received it and sufficient time has elapsed since filing it, then call at the Veterans Administration Education Office and we will see th,at the necessary action Is taken." Vet Education High In Utah Utah ranks among the high three states in the nation in the number oMveterans in training. As of March 31. 1946, 11403 applications for training have been J'lcd under the G. I. Bill of Rights in; Utah. This Is approximately 20 per cent of all veterans who have returned thus far. 43.9 percent of these veteran-; are now in training in the states as compared to 22.5 percent the national average. 42.9 percent of the 11.403 veterans have not yet entered training in Utah: and 5.9 percent have completed training or dis continued for other reasons. These figures indicate that a much greater number of Utah veterans will take advantage of their training rights than in most other states.
