CL Drive The never-dormant campaign for a "Greater Weber College," which means a four-year Weber college, has been yanked from high gear into overdrive. Formation of faculty-student-alumni committees, which will carry the proposition of a four-year college to the state legislature next January, is well underway. Many committees, already formed, are rapidly paving the way for an early climax, in the form of legislative approval, to the Greater Weber campaign. If we are going out on a limb when we predict the success for the four-year college drive, it is a limb we don't mind crawling out on. That the need for a four-year Weber exists is undeniable, and that Utah legislators can see the need and the obvious solution is strongly indicated in the favorable attitude most legislative candidates have expressed. Weber students and faculty members realize that success for the drive could not be accomplished alone. We realize that solid alumni action is the backbone of the entire campaign and success without it would be impossible. The role the alumni association as well as individual alumnus was effectively demonstrated in the 1946 campaign in which Weber obtained a new campus site. The bulk of contributions for the purchase of the site were received from alumnae, and now that the campus has been purchased they are projecting erection of a student union building for Weber students. The success of many activities can be attributed to the Weber graduates. They contributed heavily to the enthusiasm and cheering at athletic events. They form the bulk of the crowd at theatrical productions and lyceums. They' have the welfare of the college constantly in their minds and in their hearts. Weber college students owe a great big thank you to their elder "classmen" who have and are contributing so much to the college. They owe them a huge bill payable by pride in the college, enthusiasm in its activities, and solidity in the "Greater Weber College" program. Conference Aids Colleges More than 50 delegates from junior colleges throughout the intermountain region arrived at Weber college yesterday. They came as "goodwill" representatives from ten colleges located in five states in the interest of cementing friendly relations, developing inter-school cooperation and discussing mutual problems of student government and activities. The Signpost staff wishes to add its welcome to those already extended the goodwill delegates. We are confident that a favorable opinion of Weber college will be formed before the conference closes Saturday. We are equally confident that the discussions will lead to a better understanding and increased friendship between all schools represented. Although this is the first time Weber has been host to the convention, it has been represented at the annual confab which has been held at Dixie college, St. George, Utah, and Mesa college, Grand Juction, Colo., during the past two years. Among th most noteworthy aspects of the conference is that it is not a meeting for student body presidents and vice presidents only. It covers, instead of student government only, all of the usually controversial and difficult phases of the college student set-up. Award systems, publications, athletic programs and assemblies are thoroughly examined by qualified representatives of the respective activities. New ideas are formed, old ones scrapped, and resolutions aimed at increasing the effectiveness of activities are made and adopted. The airing of problems and ideas by the convention will undoubtedly result in the development of a more efficient brand of student government an dactivities in all of the attending colleges.

Alumni Officers Extend Welcome to Visitors The Associated Alumni of Weber College extend a cordial welcome to all visiting Alumni at this festive Homecoming. We wish also to take this opportunity to thank all the members of our association, and our man friends for the generous support they have given us in the expansion and development program oi Weber college. We are working cooperatively with the College, the Ogden Chamber of Commerce, many civic clubs, and the present Student Association of Weber college, to get the support of our State Legislators to make Weber a four year college and appropriate sufficient funds to begin the development of our new campus on the recently acquired 180 acre site at the base of Mount Ogden. Thus far, the new site is completely paid for with some little additional money which is being used to pay architectural fees for an all-over campus plan. This plan is well under way. In addition to this, the last Legislature appropriated $250,000 and we hope the next Legislature will add to this fund at least an additional one million dollars, so that a start of actual construction of the first of the several buildings that will make up the college, can be made. A drive has been under way for Life Members of our association, and in the past year and a half, the number of -paid up life members has tripled. A life membership costs only $15.00, and the money derived from this source, is pledged to the building fund for a Student Union building on the new campus. We are anxiously engaged in this great cause, and invite each one of you to become active with us. D. Ray Wilkinson, Pres. P. W. Fuller, Vice Pres. George W. Larkin, Vice Pres. Jeanette Draayer, Sec.

Veterans who want to purchase the Weber college handybook may buy one at the College Bookstore for 25 cents, stated Lee Lalli, editor of the handybook. Mr. Lalli added that the Veterans Administration would not include it in the cost of tuition. This year's handybook has a few added attractions such as Weber's Webster, school traditions, pet sayings, and a three color toned cover. The book was released Thursday. Members on the Weber college handybook staff besides Mr. Lalli include Ronald Fryer, art editor; Dean Bingham, business manager; and E. Carl Green, advisor. f ..

F HENRY By Lehman Henry I wanted to go a couple of rounds at the "Smokeless Smoker" Tuesday night, but being a member of the "Hav Ya Gota Cig" fertinity, it was against the club's principles for me to go even to the affair because no smoking was observed! (I donated my '50 cents to the band, tho.) Mentioning the Hav Ya Gota Cig club, the last week's totals were counted up at a meeting Wednesday. Here they ear ... 42 burned, 71 butts found, and 83 snipes found. (A butt is one and a half inches long, and a snipe is anything under one inch long.) Of the 59 members in the club, 38 are Butt members (regular members) and 21 are snipe members (under-studies). The club is headed by Sir Walter "Lucky" Morris, alias "The Camel," who is a "Cool" character. I'm the vice-president and they call me "Butt" Henry. (I often wonder why.) Last Saturday I went up to Albion Lo pay my respects to eleven of my friends who are burried at South Idaho University of Education's graveyard. If you see me wearing black, it's not because I'm wearing "The Shadow's" costume for Halloween, but because I'm in mourning for Ray Rhcad and Sterling Gardner, ends; Don Nielson and Henry Gramberg, tackles; Eugene Carson and Dan Hipa, guards; Lamar Ward, center; Milt DeMello, quarterback; Marv Felt and Bill Kcssler, halfbacks; Wayne Schmaltz, fullback; and Milt Me-cham, coach. At SIUE there was a miniature graveyard set up with eleven crosses and eleven names on them . . . the Wildcat first string. No one can blame the team for not winning against SIUE because all of the first team wasnt there. They were dead! I just hope (he boys are here and ready for tonight's tussle.) My two deers, June and Joyce Webb sit in front of me in Mr. Buss' Geography class and I've almost finished my first lesson on how to curl hair with a pencil. (I bet you didn't know that, Mr. Buss.) Anyway, I really believe Mr. Buss when he says that when you walk in one direction, you're going in five other directions at the same time. I still don't see how it's done, but "teachers are masters" and they know what they're saying! This weeks question: Who got hurt in Leonard Mazorra's wreck? y WHY???
