From the Editor's Desk... Dear Weberites, The past five and one-half months I have worked under Audri Montgomery as a reporter and feature editor on the Signpost. During this time I have learned many of the fundamentals of editing a newspaper as well as methods of coping with problems which arise in regard to Signpost policy. Audri has done an exceptional job as editor and I hope to be able to keep up the standards she has set for the Signpost. Thanks, Audri, for your help and encouragement and offer to continue to work with us on the paper. Sincerely, , Sharon Larison A Part of College Life We work for you! Yes, the Signpost staff is working to keep you, you, and you informed. We feel the student body is held closer together and develops a more worthwhile atitude toward individuals if we are working toward the same goals. How can we better express our feelings and ideas than in the publication of a newspaper? But the problem does not end here. If we are to understand each other and work together we must cooperate in the publication of our journal. Controversial issues must be discussed, and. issues presented in The Signpost must be read. We recently initiated a pro-con column to do just this encourage student opinion and a way to air student problems. Anyone is welcome to write one side of a discussion which may be of his own choosing, if he just informs us of his desire. A letter to the editor column has received many letters from interested students who take pride in the welfare of their school. Your letters are welcome and we will attempt to publish all of them. Most important of all, if our paper is to be effective it must be read by faculty members as well as students. We welcome your comments and criticisms . . . we like to be discussed. It shows that an interest is being taken in the paper. Above all, remember the Signpost is YOUR paper, written by students YOU know, to please YOU! Hear ye . . .

Spring Fancy? Outdoor Sports By Joan Forsgren Cars piled to the top with carefree kids going to the dam, golf, tennis,-suntans, all this means only one thing, SPRING. Spring? Where? When? March 21 meant spring but only in date. Weber College students were busy trying to get from Building 1 to Building 4 without being blown away. Small drops of sleet ran over their weather-beaten faces as they hurried between buildings. But nevertheless, great things are planned. Fabulous trips by the photography class to "Rabe's Tree," a geology trip to Southern Utah to view the parks (of course all interest and no play). Golf enthusiasts will be practicing shots around EI Monte course with Coach Mecham as teacher. Inter-club swimming meets will be held with everything from the jellyfish to the belly-flop, and all those kids who can stand the beating rays of the sun and like to chase a tennis ball around will be in full swing. Sounds great, doesn't it? But here's one word of advice: don't give up the books for the lovely tempting weather. Although Spring quarter is play quarter, mix a little study with it. Can you stand on your head? Nope, it's too high! Veber College Instructor Turns Broadcast Into Massacre OGDEN, UTAH (Bulletin) According to unusually reliable authorities a Weber College instructor ran amuck early this afternoon in the Humanities division building, killing six students and injuring three others, as they recorded a broadcast for a national news program. It was unknown just before Phoenix Elects, Plans Election of new officers and the planning of spring fun covers the news from the Phoenix nest. Dad, Ray Humphreys was elected president of the flock and will be assisted by Mother, Len Evans, who will hold down the vice president chores. Mike Davis, the only member that can write, is the new secretary who will try to mess up the records. Tom Alexander was elected treasurer because he gets so much enjoyment out of counting money. And besides, if he's treasurer, he doesn't have to pay his dues. Re-elected as athletic manager was our fun-loving, game-playing Ace Nelson. For the Spring quarter good time, Gary Peterson is head of the party committee. Ralph Firth ran for every office but didn't have enough money to buy the votes. However, when he ran for chief garbage man he did get one vote. A pair in a hammock Attempted to kiss And in less than a jiffy presstime who was involved but it was believed that -the teacher was L. C. Evans, veteran faculty member and instructor in the manly art of mayhem. Known dead are Therald Todd, Sally Jeppsen, Gary Peterson, Marianne Johns and Kent Berg. Names of the injured were still unreported. Police are investigating to determine the cause of the outbreak. Meanwhile college authorities are awaiting instructions for further action from a joint meeting of the board of control and the board of governors. Evans apparently used a rather bizarre weapon. After strangling Peterson, he is thought to have ripped out his lower jaw a sort of grim Biblical symbol, no doubt and laid about him with a will, fracturing skulls of the others. Police reported that Evans sympathizers were being controlled in the city jail, where they will remain until a trial is held. Most of these sympathizers are members of the Humanities faculty. It took us twenty-three years to gain our independence from the major oil companies. But we did. That's why we can give you A BETTER DEAL.
