Now what we wonder is, just who Is getting the run-a-round? These A. W. S. conventions will bear watching. It seems that Flo Main's blind date In Salt Lake is not ready to be cast aside so soon. Did you answer his letter, Florence? And will you look who Mary Heiner has in tow, now? But it's a pretty enviable position, eh Glen, or is it Bob? I never can keep those Clark boys straight. Mr. Reid Corey deeply regrets that he will be unable to portray the possum on Otyokwa's Homecoming float. For further details, see Weber's parade at 10:30 tomorrow.Joyce Hansen and Eugene Hall (Gene to you, but don't get too friendly) seem to be doing o.k. Are diamonds the latest fad, kids, or do they just happen to be a pet weakness of yours? Calling Mr. Trevithick,- calling Mr. Trevithick, Miss Dorothy Coleman was just seen going due west from the Moench Building. That is all. It is said that Dutch Wolthius refuses to date a certain Weber woman because he can too easily see her faults. Gosh, Dutch! Most idols have clay feet. Give the girl a chance. Sherm Hodson is beaming because H. W. (his woman) Irene Coombs devoted six hours to him, Saturday. Bob Clark is also happy. He took H. W. Irene Coombs to the show Sunday night. Isn't Grant Hinchcliff lucky? or haven't you seen his Toddy yet? And about Wayne Boyle. He is going steady with Burma Heap and we don't know why he came to Weber. Except Weber isn't as far from the High School as most other places. Now for the Hawaiian fellows the one's from the University of Honolulu or didn't you know? At any rate they didn't like the girls around here said they looked cold and couldn't hula. Now just how do you know, fellows? Is Ralph Smith still carrying the torch for Carrol Smuin? We hear she's still leading him a merry chase. Marge Tanner thinks Sherm French is a fire menace going around with all that hair on his arms. Try a little "Zip", Sherm. Wanted Gordon Barney wants a 'good, steady girl friend. His qualifications are a sense of humor, tolerance, dirty cords and a new 1940 Chevrolet. All applicants please drop your letters into room 401 of the Moench Bldg. (paid advertisement).Aleen Thatcher always looks just too-too surprised when Mr. Neville calls on her in Philosophy. That's the best way to get around the situation. Now isn't it silly to go home alone after a dance and then have the fellow call for you? Makes it pretty late, all in all. Oh well that's what these stag dances bring about. Olof says, "There are no sirens nor inviting eyes on the campus. They are either innocent blue (Iz-zy) or merry brown (Shirley Poul-ton.) And he had never noticed what color Ida's are! Just what does it all mean, Barbara? Imagine Barbara Minter minus Keith Farr and plus Larry Garr and a portable radio We-1-1 draw your own conclusions. Latest heartthrob on the campus Jerry Clark. Have you noticed those eyelashes? Since the butcher boy, Con, devoted two weeks to Vivian, two weeks to Edna, the rest of Otyo-kwa has it figured out just when their turn should come. Fine thing. There were three girls to every fellow up at Albion. The Whip girls were at a definite disadvantage and imagine out of all that, Maurine Jackson rated WELCOME HOME GRADS!

You know how that old adage rambles on, pride goeth before a fall and all that sort of thing. Why not let them strut their stuff now while they can; they'll soon lose their exalted airs when pledging opera tions really get underway. Let them bask in the light of their success; even the best of things must come to an end, unquote. Haven't you noticed those knowing glances and significant looks the sophs have been bestowing one upon the other. Just betwixt you and me, I'll bet you a token, (yeah that's all I'll have left after entrance fees, uniform dues!) that many a foul scheme has already found root. These sophs weren't born yesterday (even if they do make you wonder), and, aided and abetted by their years of experience, they can't be held responsible for all the destructive ideas they're apt to have. Oh, the agony you're bound to witness! Without a doubt you'll be hearing something to this effect. "My dear, I would really never have believed it, had I not seen it with my own eyes!" "Did you ever, and to think that she had me convinced that her raven locks were actually natural!" "Betty Coed has lost her complexion and can't tell where to find it. Leave it alone and it'll come home when the sophs get darn good and ready to let it." And a word to the wise sophs. In your hands lie the reputation and the honor of dear old Weber. She pleads with you, "Please don't return my beloved freshies to me in such a broken-down state that my public will murmur, 'Those neglected little freshies are certainly poor excuses for the charming young things that used to whip around Webers' campus.' " Sophs, leave someone to carry on when you are gone. (And you will certainly be gone eventually, the pledges hope and hope.) But to get back to the story, will someone be disillusioned? Will someone be discouraged? Will someone die a thousand, I mean a million, deaths?. (It would never do to underestimate the capacity of our esteemd sophomore class of 1939. My humblest apologies) Can the freshies take it? Bring on the fireworks, sophs, let's see what you've got up your sleeve this time. Your public awaits. And in the meantime, the pledges strut. A Pledge. the student body president. Nice going, Maurine! Donnelle Olsen might think Skip Forsha is a big bad wolf, but Nick Sweeney's pretty nice, eh, Donnelle?Alan Christiansen said the girls at Albion were louzy. The only cute one was a little cheer leader and she was mobbed. All the rest had buck teth, big ears, and big feet. Now is that nice? We're glad you prefer Weber girls anyway, Chris. Jimmy Maher believes in safety in numbers it seems. At any rate he's been seen quite frequently in the presence of Cammile Larson, Donnelle Olsen and Ellen Had-field.Seen in very, very serious conversation at the library the other night were June Tracy and Bart Wolthius and often at the Inn. Now just picture our venerable student body president spending his evenings at the library reading "Esquire" Well, believe it or not, 'tis true. Don't ever go stumbling into one of the many dark rooms in the Moench building at night or you might be mighty embarrassed. We hear they're nearly as nice as parked cars. Aurline Andrews displayed a diamond on the third finger of her left hand in bacteriology class last Wednesday. We wonder who the lucky man is. We hear Miss Thody is causing Woodrow Wilkinson's bad eye sight. An Ohio State Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity meeting was disrupted last week when a skunk decided to attend. The regular members fled en masse. "I suppose you dance." "Oh yes, I love to." "Great. That's even better." WHORES PAPPY GOIN' IN SUCHA TARNATION Bl& Vikings Welcome W. C.

Excelsior welcomes all alumni, club and general alike. Members and pledges are working on a float to be entered in the Homecoming, parade, Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. Pledges will not furnish the motive power. Dianaeda Accepts New Members Fourteen girls pledged themselves to the ideals and privileges of La Dianaeda at the traditional ceremony held Sunday at the Hotel Ben Lomond. Under the La Dianaeda ensignia, which was lighted by three candles, the girls repeated the sacred pledge and received the ever glowing star as a reminder of that pledge. 1 As the club trio sang "Our La Dianaeda," the pledges were received into the grouping of the crescent moon, each by her own "Big Sister". A candlelight banquet followed the pledging. The center-piece was forteen corsages of tiny white chrysanthemums framing two talisman roses, the club flower,-and tied with blue and white ribbons, which were floating on a low blue bowl. At the end of the banquet, each member pinned a corsage on her "little sister". A toast to the pledges was given by Lottie Lund. The girls who received their pledge pins were: Margaret Todd, Helen Betty White. Ruth Taylor, Ardell Russell, Beverly Peterson, Helen Tillotson. Marjorie Anderson, Ellen Hadfield, June Way-ment, LauRene Thompson, Norine Call, Gladys Johnson. Virginia Allen, and Virginia Moore activities was formed, which included an assembly and a dance.

The purpose of the dance was to get everyone acquainted with everyone else. Several "mixers" staged during the dance, seemingly accomplished this aim. Nearly all students cooperated by coming stag and most had courage enough to answer "no" to an invitation to go home with someone. The large crowd that attended really "let go" to the rhythm of the Hi-Hatters' orchestra and many requests were heard for many more such dances.

WHITE CITY BALLROOM Meet Your Friend Every Wednesday and Saturday Night in Utah's Finest Ballroom GHAS.

Eyes Important As Guide To Personality By DONNA JENKINS The eyes have it. Yessir. Innocent, merry, inviting, oriental, and siren. Every conceivable size shape and color. Have you ever gazed into a pair of big blue eyes? Bet you have. Blue eyes are innocent eyes. Beware, fellows, they usually lead to matrimony. Ruth (Corkie) Shurt-liff has those big baby blue eyes. You bet you she'll get herself a man. Merry eyes. You've guessed it. They're big brown eyes. Men like happy girls. Take Rama Eyre for instance. Have you ever seen a pair of eyes that sparkled with so much fun? Hazel eyes like Isabelle Edward's are inviting eyes. They're the type that make a habit of getting into trouble. Be careful or Izzy'll get you. Eyes like Kay Blaes' are mystic. They are oriental eyes, deep, and fathomless. Kay's are mysterious and intriguing. Green eyes are fatal. Their possessors are undoubtedly sirens of the worst order. Take for example Ida Smith. No fellow can escape her wiles. A. W. S. Rules On Date Bureau After a great deal of discussion pro and con, the "should we-yes'es" and the "should we-no's" have reached a compromise on the question, "Should A. vV. S. sponsor a date bureau along with the Purple Prom?" . There will be a date bureau, but only those who wish to, will hand in their preferences to dates. It will be open to both fellows and girls. The decoration committee reports that the theme of the decorations will be autumn leaves and grape vines. The invitations will correspond with this theme, probably being in the form of a small, silver autumn leaf. Tiki Kapa Kapa Fetes Pledges Tikki Kapa Kapa entertained their new pledges at a breakfast on Sunday morning, October 29th, at Cobble Cottage. Miss Eleanor Clark acted as toastmistress.

FOR FINE GIFTS or SCHOOL JEWELRY Smailey Bros. Inc. Jewelers 382 25th St. Phone 369 Special Orchestra, Surprise Decorations, Growing Social Life Forecast Pleasant Evening Clothes Far Cry From Good Old Days By DOROTHY RICHARDSON When anyone is heard to remark, "Oh, for the gold old days," the younger generation gets the idea that the parents of this day and age often wish their sons and daughters could dress as they did in simple clothing; wear one dress out and then get another instead of wanting a new flimsy creation every week. The modern offspring should ask their parents to refresh their memories and then decide if they really would like the "good old days" to return. In the early nineteen-hundreds, when Weber was known as an academy, co-eds came tripping to school in ankle-length dresses (slightly shorter, if they were courageous), Flounces, ruffles, and high collars adorned their clothes. Hair was piled high and stuck in place with a hat pin, which could be used as a weapon of defense if needed. Shoes were trimly buttoned above the ankle, unmentionables were filled with "stys" to give them a figure where they had none, hats were huge and adorned with anything from last year's bird nest to this year's first bunch of carrots (which isn't a far cry from hat styles of today). A bit of rice powder patted on their noses would finish the costume. loaays young co-eaucationaust ap- pears sparingly dressed in short skirt, sweater, ankle socks, and low-heeled oxfords. Style is attempting to revert back to the "good old days" with modified bustles, but young America can not be hampered, for today the keywords are fun and freedom, not primness. W. C. Gets New Faculty Member Miss Mary Peterson, Weber's newest faculty addition, arrived at school Monday to take over her duties in the classroom and in the registrar's office. Miss Peterson recently spent a year of study at Katherine Gibbs secretarial school in Boston, Mass. As the fastest typist in the school's five, divisions, she was awarded a typewriter. She is a graduate of the Agricultural college at Logan, her home town. Miss Peterson is a sister of Miss Ruth Peterson, instructor of domestic arts here. GET NEW PINS Iota Tau Kappa members are now wearing their new club pins. Each pin is in the shape of an olive wreath, the symbol of Pallas Athene. The members received their pins at the Sunday morning breakfast given in honor of the pledges. The pledges will not receive their pledging pins until the special assembly. The girls who will receive their pledge pins in the near future are Lorraine Ritchie, Ruth Webb, Helen Harris, Bernice Mclntyre, Lois Burnett, Faye Anderson, Arlene Jensen, Norma Brown, Aileen Lar-sen, Gladys Godfrey, Elsie McKay, Betty Smeding and Hazel Reynolds.Even though they are playing our own state university eleven, I say to this very interesting and courteous bunch of fellows Good luck! TURKEY TRUCK Friday, November 17, Weber College Ballroom "All alumni, no matter how young, will feel charming and collegiate at the delightful Homecoming dance to be held Saturday, November 11, in the Weber ballroom," claims Kent Rounds, chairman of the event. The High Hatters are lending the necessary orchestral assistance to make it an exceptional success. "Decorations will follow a surprising theme," says Kay Crockett, chairman of the decorations committee. "And believe me. you'll really be surprised. It has taken years and years for such an outstanding revelation to come to a head." Kay Storey, who is taking care of the programs, reports that they are "darlings." Remember that girl you met at the Stag dance last week go find her it's 35 cents a couple or 25 cents stag. Those in charge of the dance feel that in the light of Weber's growing interest in dances and other social affairs, the Homecoming dance will be a genuinely pleasant dance for the alumni. All that will be necessary will be to un-limber just a little, to recall the good times of other years, and mix up that memory with the happy-go-lucky, shag-dancing spirit of the W. C. student body of today. Old Grad Selected For Opera Lead Ros. Burcheii.
