There were three purposes of the investigation the first being to describe successful practices that, either have been or are being employed in selected junior colleges in organizing and developing terminal occupational curricula.

This, in itself, is not unusual ; for each year when the Community Conert season opens, the members can look forward to at least one good concert pianist. But that night was a special thrill. Artur Rubenstein is, to quote Mr. Hurst, "just about the greatest pianist in the world at any rate, the most expensive."Murder Forgotten Rubenstein began his concert with a Beethoven Sonata that has been consistently murdered in piano recitals ever since I can remember. But all was forgotten in Mr. Rubenstein' s masterful performance. His second group consisted of five Chopin numbers. To one whose taste for Chopin is practically nil, this was somewhat of a shock to see those five numbers listed on the program. After his first number was concluded, I realized that here was a musician to whom Chopin was a living, breathing thing; and that's just the way he played it. His group of modern numbers were beautifully done, of course, but they left me with the impression that he concentrated more on the technique of playing his Chopin; there was more soul. Out of this group, the favorite was one of his encores, DeFalla's "Rital Fire Dance." The strength and flexibility of Rubenstein's hands left his entire audience gasping. Gasping Superlatives This gasping condition pre vailed all the way out of the auditorium, for everyone was strangely lacking in superlatives. The main comments I heard were ecstatic sighs, "phews," "wonderfuls," all interspersed with an appropriate number of happy "ohs," and "ahs." With such a superb beginning of the season, all concert-lovers are looking forward to Zinka Milanov's concert on the 15th of November, with a great deal of enthusiasm. 10 Chanodo Maids Entertain Witb Traditional Tea Candlelight and rosebuds added to the friendly atmosphere in the English room of the Hotel Ben Lomond on Sunday, October 8, for the setting of Chanodo club's rush tea.

Special guests,- Mrs. H. A. Dixon, Miss Gertrude Stallings, Mrs. Lydia Tanner, and Miss Mac Welling poured during .tea hours. Seventy-five Weber freshman girls and club alumni members were honored. This formal rush tea, a traditional Chanodo affair, was the final rush party of the 1944-45 school season. Two previous rush parties were a lawn party in the Nicholas gardens on August 18 and a slumber party at the Ogden stake lodge in South Fork canyon on September 23.

A slumber party which climaxed an active summer and introduced Tiki Kapa's rush season was held at the Snow Basin lodge on August 26 and 27. The lodge was decorated in the club colors. Upon arrival the rushees were greeted by a cheery camp-fire around which community singing and various games were participated in by the 50 attending rushees. A midnight snack of punch, hamburgers, corn on the cob and watermelon was served, followed by an early breakfast which concluded the activity. Tiki Kapa Kapa's second rush party was held Saturday October 7, in Wheeler canyon at the home of Marilyn Taylor. The "dudes" were welcomed at Ranch T K K after which they were directed to the stables. They procured "horses" for a ride up "Lost Trail" in search of a hidden treasure. Highlighting the ride was the lighting of the ranch brand symbol-T. K. K. A rodeo was held at the ranch after which chow consisting of chili, hot chocolate and do-nuts was served. The singing of cowboy songs was the fitting finale to the ranch party.

Red roses, the club flower, was displayed extensively throughout the table decorations. Fifty-five quests were served during tea hours.

Iota Tau Kappa Enjoys Active Fall Rush Season Among recent events on Iota Tau Kappa's calendar was their second rush party. Thirty-five rushees met on the campus of Weber college on Sept. 30, 1944, to board the fairy boat which was to take them to the "Night Cap" at the Ogden stake camp. There they were welcomed by Luana Collins as Goddess Minerva and her attendants, Betty Klomp, Ellen Dame, Janice, McKay, and Hyla Robson. Ladies in waiting were Marion Cowles, Merrill Watkins, Marilyn Kingston, Melba Barker, Evelyn Wiggins, Edna Schow, Marian Lee, and Elaine Mclntire. Club advisor is Miss Alta Hirst.

Local Conference Plans Post War Education Changes Several members of the Weber college faculty attended the conference of post war planning for higher education, which was held at the Brigham Young university in Provo, Utah, on September 21, 22 and 23. The purpose of this conference was to discuss the problems facing institutions of higher education and the probable changes which are imminent, and to enable the schools of the state to cooperate in finding a solution. Dr. Ralph C. M. Flynt, senior specialist of higher education of the U. S. office of education, addressed the general sessions on the subjects, , "The Need for Planning Post War Programs for Higher Education," and "Factors in a Post War World that Will Influence Higher Education."Greater Cooperation Departmental sessions were held in which the plea for greater cooperation between the teacher and student was made. Another point which was stressed was the importance of students knowing the reason they are attending school, and the objectives and purposes of the classes being taught. The representatives from the various schools expressed themselves as being much impressed by the rapid change in the educational program and the signs which point toward these changes. Mr. Hanes Reports According to Mr. Sheldon Hayes, plans were made for further conferences which will be held in the near future. Mr. Hayes found that all of the problems discussed at the conference had been discussed previously by the Weber college faculty and many of the changes had already been incorporated into the program at Weber. Freshies Try Luck At Punching Bee By Luella Johnson A detached observer would suppose that the object of the orientation test for freshmen was to guess the correct square and punch it with the stylis. To choose the correct square you must first choose the correct word from several words which looked very strange and out of place in the English language. After sitting three hours playing eenee, meenie minine, mo with the little squares, the freshmen were seen stumbling around the campus with very stiff necks from concentrating so long. In spite of it all they are sur- in a treasure hunt, games, and community singing. Among the events of the summer was a theater party given in honor of Eva Crangle.who left to attend teachers college at the University of Nebraska, and a slumber' party given by Hyla Ro'bson at her home. Intrepid Freshmen Flaunt Plaitl Shirts, Bright Socks To Defy Hell Week Tradition By "Freshie" ' Hell Week" began with plaid shirts, yellow socks and "le vis," very much contrary to the proclamation posted by the sophomore class. For fifty or more traditional years the sophomores have lorded it over the lowly freshmen for one week ol each year and for fifty or more years the freshmen have cowered beneath the steel arm of the sophomores, shining shoes, wearing drab clothing and suffering untold humiliations. For some unaccountable reason, 1944 brought an aggressive and determined freshman class. It may be accounted to the fact that there were ten sophomores and eighty-two freshmen. Whatever the reason, the freshmen rose against tyranny and, with too much confidence in themselves, tasted defeat. Seven sophomore boys subdued thirty freshmen by ripping off their brilliant shirts and Air Medal Awarded To Ogden Co-Pilot The air medal has been awarded to 2nd Lt. Vernon L. Rasmus-sen, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jorgen P. Rasmussen, 1311 Grant. He is co-pilct on a flying fortress in a navy bombardment group, eighth air force, England. He enlisted in air corps in February, 1942, and is a graduate of Ogden high and Weber college. viving, and Mr. Neville reports conservatively that the tests appear to be from a "pretty good group."

The freshmen fought valiantly, but they were fighting against the mighty sophomores.
