Friday, April 21, 1950 Vol. 13 No. 13 Alaska Is Not Job Heaven for Students Though romance and adventure are reflected by the name Alaska, students planning to seek summer jobs in the territory are warned by the employment security commission of Alaska that there are no jobs available for other than Alaskan citizens. With the exception of a few qualified nurses, civil engineers and other high ly skilled classifications, there is no need for workers. Officials point out that the high cost of living, and of transportation to and from the territory, present the serious problem of being stranded, to those persons who haven't sufficient funds. uniOn officials, and the employ- The Governor of Alaska, labor ment security commission are united in seeking to publicize the seriousness of the problem, and feel that most of the army of job seekers currently besieging the territory are due for disappointment.

Contest Crown Aspirants Que Up As Petitions Presented By Jim Bonner Getting there "fustest with the mostest" (signatures, i.e.) gave Gloria Jorgensen the honor of being the first official nominee for Miss Weber College competition. Although first, she was by no means alone as petitions have been flowing into the hands of the committee in a ceaseless barrage. Last issue I stated that 25 names were required upon a petition but since that time the committee has lowered the quota to 20. Another point which seems to need clarifying is JUST INSCRIBE YOUR SIGNATURE ON ONE PETITION AND STOP. NO MORE, NO LESS. Some of the petitions handed in were turned back because of the repetition of names appearing throughout the petitions. i Official petition forms have been printed and are available by contacting LeRoy McFarland, Russ Carruth or myself. Candidates will not be recognized unless the signatures appear on these forms. One other qualification which concerns intelligence (outside of counting from one to ten with her shoes on) rules that any femme nominated must have maintained a C average during her sojuorn at Weber. All other restrictions and qualifications were published in the last issue of the Signpost. At present, the committee has broken the judging of the contestants into two brackets. The first will be on beauty of face and figure, intelligence and poise. The second bracket will judge talent. Points will be awarded to all contestants by the judges and at the conclusion of the last display of talent these points will be totalled and the queen announced. Uoth eliminations will take place on May 5, the beauty pageant to parade at Sigma's annual bathing beauty selection earlier in the day and the talent to be judged during intermission of Sigma's dance that evening. .

Dixon Lauds Library Last year library circulation for March has been exceeded by more than 1,000 books during that same month in 1950.
