Although a college education seems expensive, figures show that an educated man is capable of earning several times more money each year than an uneducated man." "724 student transcripts were sent to higher schools of learning last year by Mrs. Clarisse H. Hall, college registrar. These same students would be an ample enrollment for an extended Weber college. It is wrong to turn our young people of Weber college area away and force them to discontinue their education, to pay extra for -living expenses away from home, or to suffer the inconvenience of commuting to and from school. The area is large enough to justify a four year school. We have one-fourth of the state's population and pay one-fourth of the state's taxes, yet only 10.4 per cent of our taxes come back to us for educational purposes," continued President Dixon. Speaking for her husband on the subject of his campaign for election to Congress in the first district, Mrs. Douglas Stringfel-low pointed out: "Leaders of our government must not only be capable of leading, they must be worthy of leading."

Burchell, former Weber and U. of U. athletic star, when he won the only first place for the U. S. army in the army Olympics conducted in Copenhagen, Denmark, two weeks ago.

College, Community Unite Through Music "The world would be better today if more people were listenini; to and playing good music. I wish every good-sized city had a symphonic orchestra," commented Maurice Abravenel, Utah state symphonic director, to Delmar Dickson, Weber college musical director. Mr. Abravenel will direct the rehearsals for the Weber College and Ogden Community Symphonic Orchestra being organized to give the people of this area the opportunity to appreciate standard symphonic music. Weber college's first opportunity to hear this musical group will come the latter part of November, assures Mr. Dickson. The complete group will hold practices twice a week. In addition, the college musicians will hold daily practices. the end of the quarter in order to do a better job of covering campus events in the news-literary magazine, she said. 'Discuss All Phases of Student Government at W. C. Ready cooperation, enthusiasm, tact and courtesy, observance of procedures are among the factors student leaders will use to make the present school year profitable and effective for the student body and school, it was stressed at the Wednesday annual leadership conference. Groups that have a special opportunity to bring the "miracle year" about include social clubs and all student government groups, in addition to the faculty, it was pointed out. Representatives of these units were present at the conference. Presiding was Jane Powell, student body vice-president, who spoke on procedure for conducting meetings. Miss Mae Welling, women's dean, directed arrangements for the annual event. Speakers included Jane Powell, O. M. Clark, Allen Cook, Tob Critchlow, Beverly Graves, Dar-rell Checketts, Norma Lichfield and Dr. Henry Aldous Dixon. O. M. Clark, discussing the problem of students overloading, said students can get the most out of college by taking a moderate number of credit hours. Education of the student is more important than a few additional credits, he pointed out. Darrell Checketts, Alpha Rho president, said club socials should be of a high standard since they reflect on the college. Norma Litchfield, inter-club council chairman, encouraged courtesy to club and organization sponsors as a mature attitude. Dr. Dixon concluded the line of talks with his subject "How We Can Start Now to Build a Four-Year College." He stated that our actions brand us with a reputation which builds or tears down a school. With all campus organizations represented, this meeting helped set policy for the new year, according to officials. The gist of the session was that: Unless common understanding, respect and over-all cooperation can be accomplished there is little hope for a happy successful and progressive school year ahead. If there is to be order there must be organization and system. One organization cannot function independent ly of all the others. To be creative, strong and united, the students must be organized. To live in peace with one another Weber-ites must have an authority to which they pledge their wholehearted support. If campus organizations are well organized and function properly, along their lines, miracles can be accomplished, speakers declared. The success of any institution depends upon the rhythm and harmony with which all constituted parts function and operate as a single entity, and only by following the plans already drawn up can the desired results be accon? plished, the participants held.
