Show A Letter To The Editor SAME PUBLICATION. . . . From The Editor's Desk THE FINAL STEP AMARCH In a few days Weber College will graduate 275 students who have completed their schedule work. For some, it will be a sad occasion, a time when friends part often for good. For those who have been officers, there may be a well deserved sense of satisfaction and achievement. For those with families, it may signify a great accomplishment; another step toward a productive future; the attainment of a once distant goal. Whatever the sentiment, whatever the field, Weber College will lose another outstanding sophomore class. As some graduate, it will leave opportunities for others to grow and develop with the responsibility they are given by their classmates. For this year's freshmen, graduation will mean a great loss. Big sisters, experienced officers, and friends who have make this year so important and so much fun, will all make their final official visit to our stadium and the halls of our new campus. And as the freshman class, we hope to follow in your footsteps but face a hard job filling your shoes. To you, the Graduating Class of 1955, we say "Hail" but we hope not "Farewell". AND THEN THERE WERE SEVEN Of all the toasts offered at the annual AWS Recognition Banquet, none was more enthusiastically received by the group than that offered Marilyn Arnold, our AWS President. The respect and admiration everyone felt for "Mabe" as she stood to turn over her office, was sensed by everyone present, and when she reached to unfasten the clasp of the president's necklace, her typical, "Golly, but I hate to give this babe up!", brought tears and goose pimples to her many friends who realized what her job had meant to her and to them. Marilyn received awards that night for outstanding achievement in seven fields more than any girl in the history of Weber College. The seven fields were speech, friendliness, scholarship, sports and dance, leadership service and publications. It is seldom we encounter a person with so many abilities and aptitudes put to such efficient use; developing her potentialities to the fullest. Besides the many things Mabe has done that we have all heard about, very few here at Weber suspected s he was writing Sig Pont's column in the Signpost. Never missing a deadline, (once she even mailed her column from a distant debate tournament), she has won the friendship and respect of everyone of the staff and associated with the paper. Marilyn has been chosen as one of the two student speakers on the graduation program. She will also be one of six to receive the highest honors conferred by the college. Her name will be inscribed on the Achievement Placque at Weber College for her exceptional work as outstanding girl. Through Marilyn, her devotion, and the help he gave others, Weber has become a stronger and better school. To her we say: "Thanks, and good luck," and express the hope that Weber will always attract such dynamic leaders. Congratulations, Marilyn! If you want a job well done, give it to someone who is already too busy . . . . fVmoral William Dean SIGNPOST Bi-Weekly Publication Associated Students of Weber College Ogden, Utah Editor Sports Editor Feature Editor Club Editor Advertising Manager Photographer Sharon Larison Jim Freston Audri Montgomery Sharon Harris Audrey Stevens Dick Mabey Reporters Lynette Richards, Tom Quinn Sig Pont, Marianne Johns, Nancy Sanders, Joan Forsgren, Marilyn Arnold, Sharron Harris, Duane Osmun, Gary Peterson, Larry Tomlinson, Kent Berg, Marcella Whaley Dear Editor: I've got a gripe!! Last week OUR baseball team played three games at John Affleck Park. About fifteen students attended them and also few members of the faculty. President Miller was one of the few in atten-ance. If a busy man like President Miller can take time out to support Weber's team, why can't the rest of the student body? Not even the "bus" student body officers made it to the game. The team von the championship but it certainly wasn't because they had student body support. Those bere bleachers did nothing for the morale of the team. Surely a school as friendly and co-operative as Weber in most other activities ought to have supported the baseball team! Somebody RATS ON EXPERIMENTAL COLLEGE DIET ARE SICKLY, PHYSICALLY UNFIT ON EXAM (Editor's note: This information was adapted by Tom Quinn from a report made by Helen Starley and Dee Nueunschwander for Mr. Knight's biology class.) Do you suffer from matted lackluster hair, lack of energy, er dull, pink eyes? If you are a rat and your diet consisted of what the average college student eats, the above would be a description of your current state of health. If you aren't a rat, but still a college student (yes, there's a difference) , the description is still probably fairly accurate, eating what you do. Several Participants Life Science I and the Nutrition classes have been experimenting with various deficiency diets and a special college diet on the rats in Mr. Knight's biology lab. The results arethought-provoking, to say the least. For example: The rats on the protein deficient went blind, their bones turned soft as spaghetti, and they staggered like drunks. Those fed on a diet lacking Vitamin D developed rickets with pigeon-chestedness, enlarged wrists, and bowed legs and knock knees (Sounds like a girl I know) as a result. Sunshine is the feest source of Vitamin D, so make sure you spend plenty of time damming. (See storjn elsewhere in this issue for more on damning,) Has Miscarriage The college diet also caused the female rat who was fed on it to have a miscarriage. The "Ratling" was a shapeless blob, unrecognizable. The other unbalanced diets all caused trouble one way or another, some obvious, some insidiously working internally. If the experiments had been continued, all the test an-Inals would have died a premature death. The balanced diet had all the essentials to good health, and the rats on this showed it. They were full of energy, strong, alert, and ready to take on all the tomcats in the neighborhood. Read this and take head. Put down that candy bar, and pick up the bottle of yogurt I DIFFERENT APPEARANCE This, the last issue of the Signpost, may look a little foreign to you. We are sorry we found it This, the last issue of the Signpost, may look a little foreign to you. We are sorry we found it necessary to publish the paper on the college's own equip ment instead of the usual printer. Weber has neither the facilities to reproduce pictures and ads, nor to set up copy and print the .paper in its usual style. The reason the transfer of publications was made 3s that the "Acorn", our yearbook, is at Star Printing company, our printer, and in order to have it ready for distribution on the 31st, the Signpost was left to its own divices. We hope you enjoy this issue and that you will be able to disregard some of the errors and inconsistencies. Our next issue, at the beginning of the fall quarter, will be in the usual style. Again, we are sorry, but we hope you will like this issue in the good humor with which it has been put out. Also, congratulations to Roy Davies and the Acorn staff. The book looks to be one of Weber's top publications. AT THE RISK OF BEING SCEOOPED BY OTHER PAPERS IN THE VICINITY, WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT H.E.D.REDFORD INFORMS US THAT CELLAR THEATER WILL BE ON THE GO AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
