Many students have problems, some small and some serious. Some of these problems have been answered before by students through the years at Weber college; some of the problems have been met many times by the faculty members whether it is money, vocational help, religious, or personal difficulties. It might help if you took your problems to somebody of your own selection on the faculty. It may surprise you how many times a similar difficulty has arisen and how easily the problem can be solved. Freshman advisers have been appointed from the faculty. The orientation instructors are available during their office hours. The Dean of Men and the Dean of Women are available several hours during the day to help you. Any member of the Weber college will be glad to take a few minutes to help you think through a problem. You are urged to get help from someone you can trust and remember that in attending college and in getting advanced training you are on the right track. In a survey made a year or two ago, it was found that college graduates were making an average of $1000 a year more than those who had no more training after high school, which means approximately $48,000 more during a life time because of additional training such as the college offers. It is true that there is no guarantee or a silver platter waiting for you, but you don't want such a guarantee. For every additional year of training you get up to a certain point, if the training is pertinent, you are pushing your salary ceiling upwards. There will be a time for marrying, a time for rearing children and a time for accumulating money and growing old. This is perhaps the only time of your lives during which you can receive your training. If you are in the wrong major field, an adjustment can easily be made. Drop in to see your respective dean and your adviser. WILLIAM D.

S79j5 'Ay, There's The Rub' By Anne Rasmussen To cram, or not to cram: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer ' The E's and failures of outrageous quizzes, Or to take arms against those fears of test week, And by mere study end them? To pass, vnth A, Or more, and by this A to say we end The cramming and the strain inflicted on our Minds by teachers whims, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To laugh, to love, To loll: perchance to think: ay, there's the rub; For when next quarter starts what class may come, Tho' we have passed with A's so far this year, Might lessons give: there's the respect That makes calamity of college life. Weber Forum Dear Editor; Here's what gets under my skin. Why do the veterans on this campus think they are such privileged characters? All they seem to do is gripe about how much it costs them to attend college. What about those that don't have help from the GI Bill? Do they gripe? Sure, I realize that the fellows are entitled to an education for serving our country, but why on earth do they have to constantly gripe about costs. Many of those doing the complaining did not actually see action and those that did keep their traps shut about costs. ' Some students work their way through college; some gripe their way through. A "Working" Freshman. Shfqgers Beware! Cloak of Innocence To Cover Movement By Jim Bonner' Perilous nights of cramming in an effort to pound into thy cranium material to withstand the attacks of mercenary instructors who believe that the student should retain a wee bit of the knowledge he has aimed your way rear their ugly head. These subversive panzer movements will be directed under the cloak of innocence titled "FINAL EXAMINATION". As there are a few on the campus who's I.Q. does not hover in the 140's this means that one or two nights of the coming week and possibly even an hour or two in the next will have to be detailed from recreation time to preparation of a defense against this battle of the wits- Keep your chins up Chauncey, you'll make it.

Guews Leigh will be transferring to B.Y.U. now that he's the recipient of that fabulous journalism scholarship. Gripes An anonymous shfager wishes to know where all the hustle and speed comes from over in the C.I-Says if he misses many more classes waiting for his daily bologna sandwich he's going to start bringing his groceries to school with him. Maybe he has something. I have noticed a short waiting period is in order when I attempt to purchase a cup of coffee. I believe this is Observations This May Be Our Tomorrow By Shirley Kinsey The concentration of a government in the hands of a few can lead to absolute eradication of human liberties. This is the fact which George Orwell strives to prove in his Nineteen Eighty Four. The novel is divided into three books. It is based upon the assumption that England has become an extreme form of socialism. The world was divided into three great nations; Eruasis, Eastasia, and Oceania. England was a province of the Oceania. The Hitler or the Stalin in the novel was known as "Big Brother". There was no individual ownership only state or government controlled Signpost Is Here! The business staff of Signpost announced the following points where copies may be had: 1. In the College bookstore. 2. In the gym near the treasurer's office. 3. In the Central building near the cafeteria. 4- In the Moench building near the fountain. 5. In the vocational building, south end of the hall. Those points are being announced because numerous complaints have been received from students about not being able to find a paper. The individual rights were taken away by means of a telescreen, a device which was placed in every home. It reflected every word that was uttered even to the smallest whisper, and every move that was made. , All food and clothing was limited and persons lived on the bare necessities of life. If a person did not comply to the rules, he was wiped off the map and all records of his existence were destroyed. The novel was clearly written, but it was highly imaginery. Perhaps it could have been mor effective had the author shown how the basic philosophy in a country could be broken down in order for the government to develop into one of this type. courtesy on their part though as it gives the coffee a chance to cool before touching my lips. It has been suggsted that a poll be taken on the campus to tally the persons wishing a smoking lounge and for those not favoring such. Surely there's one abandoned room on the campus to house thesmokestacks-Question of the week: Who's Robin Hood? Oops, Slipped Again By Jim Brown Is Weber slipping? I heard this question asked by an old soph as I slid down my favorite banister in the Moench Building the other day. I discovered the quick way down the stairs at dear old Weber last year and I always run into something before I reach the bottom, be it human bodies or human gossip. Why do you ask, I grasped as his hand came out and stopped me from making a three point landing on a small freshman shivering at the bottom of the runway. Do you know, he mumbled quickly, it was almost time for the last bell, that a freshman caught a cold from having to smoke out in the rain the other day? He wanted to get up a petition to have a "Smoking and Poker Playing Club" house built on the campus. I asked him if he thought maybe it would be better for Weber to use the money in building the new campus. To ? $ ! with the new campus, he replied, I'll be dead with nicotine fits before then if I can't find a place to smoke- Poor boy, he got along so well in High School. Nineteen Eighty Four offers a challenge to the people who feel that Russia is the Utopian form of government because every one has an equal share. It can make persons of the United States feel proud of their government and strive to hold true to the principles offreedom- HOME MADE PIES Ross1 Cafe Fountain Service Over Forty Years Serving: Ogden 364 - 25th Street TYPEWRITERS LOWER PRICES ON RECONDITIONED USED MACHINES All Popular Makes New Portable Royals Underwoods Remmingtons Coronas MORGAN TYPEWRITER COMPANY Z375 Kiesel Ave. PHONE 2-963S v ' w!i ' ' L!
