Sophisticated sophomores and bewildered freshmen met at the Moench building on a bright mid-September evening where other students and faculty members were waiting to transport the group three-deep in cars to Cold Water canyon. "There, with squeals and giggles and even a few masculine hee-haws, the girls and boys deserted the vehicles to continue their journey up the canyon by foot.Indian-filing up the steep mountain side while lugging heavy bundles of food and huge watermelons was not easy but a Weberite never says die. Everyone from the tiniest freshie to the oldest faculty member made the long trek and arrived at the camp site bieathless from laughter and exertion. And it wasn't until President Dixon came that it was learned that an easier path ran through the canyon. Teach Catchy Songs Cheerleader Betty Nelson and Whip President Betty Lou Lamoreaux started the evening activities by teaching the crowd several catchy, if monotonous, songs. Mr. Leland H. Monson regaled his audience by reading excerpts from a humorous short story by Ring Lardner. Then the hungry pack was sent into the wood to find sticks for roasting weiners. Food, drink isott), and the precious watermelons refreshed the crowd for another session of entertainment.After the eats, President Dixon acting as master of ceremonies introduced the student body officers and John Berghout and Maxine Elliot, who were in charge of the outing. Mrs. W. H. Handley gave a reading and then Betty Lou again led the group singing which was accompanied by Mr. William Wood and his guitar. Mr. Wood also played several solos. The moon was still behind the mountains but since the forest Weber WEBER COLLEGE Counselors Confer . . .

Young leading, the students took hands and went down the mountain side In one continuous line. Cars were again packed but that only made more people to sing as they made their way back to school. The first event of the school year was indeed one which can set an example for all 1943-44 activities.

I'll Take a Girl, Scorns Campus Complaining Coed By Ima Wallflour Sophomore coeds who wer escorted to all of the Weber dances last year by men from Phoenix and Excelsior look with uncertainty to the coming year of social events. The navy and army reserve left at the end of winter quarter. And now even the marine enlistees have left our humble campus. We have no men! In a number of the "deserted" colleges of the U. S., coeds are dancing with coeds. This "homo" type of dance does not appeal to the Weber sophisticates! Lieutenant Brandon, who is in charge of the naval cadets, and several Weber college "high-ups" have thought of a solution. Several times last year almost three the navy cadets brought their black ties to social affairs, but there was no attempt to invite them to participate whole-heartedly in school affairs. Their rigid schedule will keep them from being the Excelsior "playboy" that some of us enjoyed last year, but we hear that they know how to dance. There is only one catch to the matter, the cadets won't be drafted into attending: Their military schedule of does and don't makes no statement about having to escort any personality to any social spot. Their liberty night, Saturday night, Is one of the few things that they can safely call their own As Lieutenant Brandon says, "We w.mt the cadets to meet some of th rice girls about school, but since their time is restricted, they will probably want the choice with whom and when they attend the school functions."
