Show Monday, May 6, 1940 Pago Four THE SIGNPOST Football Clinic Will Be Held In August at Weber College Leo R. (Dutch) Meyer, head football coach at Texas Christian university, will be instructor of the second annual Armstrong football clinic to be held at Weber college August 19-23, 1940, according to Ward Armstrong, director of the clinic. This event is being sponsored by the Armstrong Sporting Goods Co., a I I i f I of Ogden and Weber college. Senior college, junior college, high school and junior high school coaches from the intermountain area have been invited to attend. "We expect a far greater number than attended our first coaching clinic." said Mr. Armstrong. "At this clinic over thirty coaches were present. This far exceeded our expectation. Coaches from Utah. Utah State, Brigham Young, Idaho Southern and practically every prep school and college in this section are expected. "The date of the school is particularly advantageous because it is just before the fall coaching season and the coaches feel they can receive new ideas and enter their tasks with more enthusiasm," remarked the director. The first school, held in 1938, was directed by "Babe" Hallinger, head football coach at University of Washington. Accounting GUY H. HURST . By REED ANDERSON "Someone has to wear the white collars." It was Guy H. Hurst, head of the business department, speaking. " 'White collar' jobs have come in for perhaps more than their share of comment of late. They've been cussed and discussed and panned and praised, and everybody says everybody else wants one and won't be able to get one." With all this furor ringing in my ears I had approached Mr. Hurst to get the 'low-down' on the number one white collar job, accounting.We discussed pay, hours, working conditions, demand, openings, future, requirements, opportunities really got down to "brass tacks." Twenty-Two Courses Mr. Hurst told me that he had taken twenty-two courses in accounting, which were all he could get. He came to Weber college as a teacher in 1928. His training was acquired in Utah and New York City. Having established this background, I began on my list of questions.In answer to my query, "What are the requirements?" Mr. Hurst replied. "A person cannot be successful as an accountant unless he has a good mathematical background and a natural talent to see and grasp dearly the principles involved. Accounting is very exacting and requires a patient, persevering personality with ability to concentrate for long periods. Do not, however, get the idea that this work is boring or unpleasant. If one really likes accounting it is a very satisfying occupation." Short or Long "How long need one train?" "That is one of the unique qualities of this work. One can get to earning quickly if necessary, yet can study for as long as he desires. I cite my own case as an example. I was able to earn my own way through eight years of higher education.""What supplementary courses are recommended when one goes on?" "I strongly urge the accounting student to become familiar with office machines. As a matter of fact this training has become an almost complete necessity." "Is the field overcrowded?" 'There is always room for a good accountant. Those who regard it as a "filler" are the ones who are being disappointed. Private businesses are now required by law to kee sets of records, and sometimes complex ones. Government itself is using more accountants all the time. Capable accounting instructors are in demand. Other occupations may come and go, but there'll always be a need for someone to keep the records even in heaven, I guess. Yes, accounting has a very good future." No Simple Matter "How about pay?" "Pay is better than in many other occupations. The average is probably $175, with $225 and $250 not at all uncommon. Top accountants hold many of the best salaried positions available. Working conditions are usually above average, hours are the best, and hazards nil. As a vocation, accounting scores very high on all counts." "Can we conclude that it is a simple matter to become an accountant?""Not at all. In fact, requirements ENJOY!

This bit of information is old but true. Ricks college speedsters overwhelmed their rivals from the in-termountain junior college conference to take first place in the B. Y. U. invitational track and field meet, held at the "Y" stadium, Saturday, April 27, in Provo. Mesa and Weber trailed the Vikings for second and third places. Since the meet places the individuals rather than the schools they represent, these places are not official. However, unofficially they ranked in the above order. Willie Thomas and Alan Chris-tensen from Weber won the 120- yard high hurdles, and the 220-yard low hurdles respectively. Other Weberites who placed were Ray Freeman, second, 100-yard dash; Eldon Gardner, third, broad jump; Bader, third, high jump; Bill Lundy, fourth, mile run; Carl Anderson, fourth, discus throw; Lemar Green, fifth, mile run. We ber also placed third in the 880-yard relay and fourth in the mile relay. Besides winning first in the 120-yard high hurdles, Thomas also placed second in the 220 low hur dles and fifth in the discus throw The Vikings took seven out of fifteen firsts and set up four of the six records established. The Idahoans completely overshadowed all opposition. Lamont Wilcox, Ricks, was the star of the meet, winning firsts in both the 100 and 220 yard dashes, as well as running on both the mile and half-mile relay teams Other firsts won by the Vikings were the 880-yard run, the mile run, 440-yard run, mile relay, and half-mile relay.

Prior to the tour of exhibits, the A. W. S. gave a reception in the women's lounge under the direction of Mrs. Clarisse Hall. Young Goes to School For Seventh Summer In June Orson W. Young, instructor in zoology, will begin his seventh summer at the University of Michigan Biological Station on the shores of Douglas Lake near the Straits of Mackinac. "My wife and two children will accompany me in a house trailer," said Mr. Young. "I am going to write my thesis for my Ph. D. degree, which concerns a problem in fresh water biology." The text of Mr. Young's thesis will be "A Limnological Study of the Periphyton Organisms of Douglas Lake in Cheboygan County, Michigan." are becoming more strict all the time. A fairly high degree of skill and training are necessary." As I prepared to leave, Mr. Hurst showed me a list of Weber college graduates who had majored in accounting and pointed out that all of them were doing splendidly, many holding top positions in large firms throughout the country, with many others in government positions."Accounting," he concluded, "is exceedingly good for the right people those who are willing to get in and dig. It comparese favorably with any other vocation, occupation or profession." Colorado Golf Trip Off; Stars Can't Go Coach Bob Davis announced last week that the golf trip to Colorado has been cancelled because Glenn Shannon and Mark Austad, star players, would have been unable to go. Shannon, who is a regular from last year, and the mainstay of the team, had the misfortune to get hit on the hand by a zooming golf ball last week during a match, which resulted in a broken finger. He will be out most of the remaining season. Austad, the most promising of tile freshmen on the team, is working and could not get released from his work during the time the trip was scheduled. This is a disappointment to the golf fans of the college as well as to the coach and team, but as most of the players are freshmen they will be able to uphold the colors of Weber on a trip next year. In a game last week the B. Y. U. defeated Weber although every match was close. Weber has two remaining games away, and one here with the B. Y. U. The games away are with East high schol and University of Idaho, southern branch. Davis Will Dude Ranch Robert L. Davis, coach and instructor of physical education, will spend the summer going to school and dude ranching, he said yesterday. Mr. Davis has a ranch known as the U-Bar Ranch located in the primitive area of the Uintah mountains."Prior to leaving for my ranch, I expect to attend the coaching school at the U. S. A. C, June 10 to 14. Then from August 19 to 23 I will attend the Armstrong coaching school, which will be conduct ed at Weber college.

Meet A disappointed Weber college tennis team came home from the B. Y. U. invitational tennis meet suffering defeat in most matches played. Blaine Felt won the first singles match by default from Ricks and then was defeated by Leon Halman of Westminster, 6-2, 6-3. The doubles tournament seemed a little more encouraging when W. Boyle and G. Freeman won their first match by default from Ricks and continued by defeating Forest Parry and Paul Christ from B. A. C. 6-4, 6-3. They were then defeated by Claire Anderson and Dean Hinckley of Mesa, 6-2, fi-2. Anderson and Hinckley won the doubles tournament. W. C. Tracksters May Take Third, May 10 The intermountain junior college conference track meet will be held at the University of Utah stadium May 10 at 1 p. m., it was announced by the athletic office recently.Head track coach Ferron Losee expects to enter a track team which he says has oniy a fair chance of even winning third place. According to Losee the standards in the jaysee loop have improved so much this year that Weber should be lucky to emerge with third place. Weber placed third in last year's meet. Ricks and Mesa are expected to fight it out for first place. Westminster and B. A. C. will also enter strong teams. Swenson Plans Summer During summer vacation Reed Swenson, director of Weber Gym, will remain at the gym directing the summer swimming program most of the time. Graduate work at the University of California and fishing will occupy about four weeks of his time prior to returning to SjChool for the Fall quarter. Forty Women, Girls End Home Course Forty women and girls last week completed a twelve-weeks course sponsored for home-makers by Weber college, according to Mrs. D. R. Wheelwright, class coordinator. "The purpose of the classes," said Mrs. Wheelwright, "was to improve the efficiency of the women who go into homes to serve as well as those who serve their own families." The course was taught by Mrs. Louise Redford of the Lewis junior high school home economics department. Her wage was paid by Weber college, Mrs. Wheelwright indicated. The course included studies in meals in the home, breadmaking, salads and vegetables, cakes and pies, meat preparations, meal planning, sanitation in the kitchen, housecleaning methods, interior decorating, budget making, nutrition and food values, and home management. The following committee cooperated with the school in sponsoring the class. Miss Ella P.

As John Steinbeck unleashed the lament of the migratory worker in "Grapes of Wrath," and Richard Wright raised the race problem in "Native Sons," so does Levin delve into another phase of social conflict. "Citizens" decries neither race color nor sect. It is the story of that great army of workers which makes up the American melting pot Poles, Lithuanians, Italians, Mexicans, Germans all toiling under conflicting banners. Do the leaders of labor help or hinder the worker? Was the open shop principle the better way? How did it affect Ladislas Wyz-nowiki, the Pole, who ran a magnet crane in a Chicago scrapyard? Or Ricnrdo Perez, the Mexican? ,Or Herman Bauiman, the German?Into this conflicting scene of men on one side and men on the other side is thrown Mitch Wil-ner, a physician, because he can minister to their ills and is skilled with the scalpel. He becomes involved in the issues raised by a strike and bloodshed. His practice suffers, his research is dropped and his private as well as his professional life is changed by the conflict. , Levin writes caustically of this situation, but he does not offer a solution to the problem. Thousands have read Thomas Hardy's books but his life and the influence which made him a writer have been obscure. In "Hardy of Wessex" (Columbia University Press), by Carl J. Weber, is the story of how Hardy became the foremost novelist of his time and the explanation of why his books live on and sell to generations that know little if anything about the times and the people he wrote about. Weber concludes that Hardy's Coming May 17 . . . LAWRENCE TIBBETT TibbettWill Give Program Lawrence Tibbett, creative sing er and superb artist, will appear in a concert at the Ogden high school auditorium May 17 under the auspices of the Community Concert - Weber College association.Mr. Tibbett, who is leading bari tone of the Metropolitan Opera association, presents an impressive figure in the world of music. Since his first big triumph at the Met ropolitan Opera house, the most sensational ever accorded an American, Tibbett, each season in opera, has aroused the same scenes of unbounded enthusiasm and completely equalled them in the concert field. During his re cent tours of Europe and Australia, this great singer-actor was riotously acclaimed. Royalty, of ficialdom, critics and the public heaped new laurels upon his brow His is the unique faculty of mak ing classic music popular and pop ular music classic. The following program will be presented by Mr. Tibbett: 1. The Song of Momus to Mars, Dr. Boyce; Has Sorrow Thy Young Days Shaded firish Melody), arr. O'Brien.

Wolfe; Hangman, Slack On de Line, adapted by Harvey Enders; (Negro Folk Song). unwavering determination to become a successful writer was largely the cause of his achievements. In addition to a comprehensive index, Weber appends several valuable appendices for students.Frances Winwar adds luster to her reputation as an author with "Oscar Wilde and the Yellow Nineties" (Harpers). She presents a thorough, analytical and restrained life ow Wilde, who was a man calculated to draw superlatives. She go;s deeply into the influences which affected Wilde so deeply. In fact, more of her book is devoted to others in the scene Lily Langtry, Lord Alfred Douglas, Walter Pater, James Whistler than to Wilde, but the material all has its bearing on Wilde, his life and times and his downfall.

Here's a pej talk for you high school seniors who are going to college next year. Not that I want to run down the senior colleges, because I'm going to one myself next year. But here are a few advantages that the junior college has for the promising athlete that the senior college does not of fer. This comes from a legitimate source and one who has learned from bitter experience (not me; name on demand). Stay Jaysee The first year of participation fo. freshmen in senior college is rather inactive. The so-called frosh football, etc., docs not offer the opportunities that the varsity team in junior college does. Certainly more chances of stardom are offered by varsity teams than by frosh teams. In junior college your chances are excellent for the varsity, while in senior college the bet is 10 to 1 you'll be on the sidelines. If you make the varsity in junior college and do well, experience tells us that your chances for offers when you graduate from junior college will be far more attractive than they are after high sohool graduation. To be blunt about the situation, look at the other advantages of the "jaysee." Well, I won't say any more about it because I've probably said enough anyhow. BASEBALL Baseball is fast taking shape as a major sport around these parts. The Pioneer league is going well. Baseball competition is also being organized in the Big Seven conference. The eastern slope schools are already well organized for this sport. The Beehive senior colleges are rapidly adapting it as a definite part of their athletic programs. The northern Utah high schools are also enjoying the advantages of interschool baseball competitions. Here's hoping the junior colleges recognize the "national sport" soon. COSMOPOLITAN Those who say that Weber college, or "Jefferson Tech" as a few Ogden high students call it, is just a continuance of Ogden high are really wrong now. Only two of the four student body officers for next year are Ogden graduates. The other two are from Weber and South Cache. Yep, we're becoming more cosmopolitan, or whatever you call it, all the time, HERE AND THERE Glen Brewer and Lew Austad are planning a long trip. It will take them through at least 25 states. More details later. ... It is rumored that Alan Christiansen is going to Western State next year while Don Hatch will probably become a Utah man... Stan Johnson and Winslow Gardner got to California all right. If you don't believe me, I'll show you a card they sent me from San Jose. Goodbye now. It is easy and natural for favored groups to identify the national interest with their own. -Dr. John Day Larkin, Armour Institute political scientist.
