Show tara issis UN - lipiBISIl, The Bleeding Is Over; Don't Twist Malin F. As editor of the Signpost, feel it my duty to make a statement or two on the Interclub Issue. I feel that the writing of the letter by Dennis has been a shot in the arm for both him and Interclub Council, it is an admirable gesture on his part. There are those of you who think that the articles written on the matter were definitely one-sided, or that they showed a definite club control of the paper. On the contrary, I could have no less feeling for my club in these matters. If it had been Phoenix who was represented, I would have handled the matter the same way. I have the big job of trying WEBER COLLEGE SIGNPOST VOL. XXI NO. 1!) OGDEN. Mi- William Elliott and Jean Martini Wimpole Street." The production Weber's first play production of this school year, "The Barretts of Wimpole Street," by Rudolf Be-sier, should be applauded with Oscars and crowd-gathering search lights. Very few derrogatory remarks were overheard and the largest percentage of the audience sat transfixed throughout the three-hour production. The play details the love story of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning and the conflicts which arise in the Barrett home, forcibly ruled by Elizabeth's father, Edward Barrett. These three main characters were excellently portrayed by Gladys Sargent, Richard Nealson and C. W. Elliott, respectively. Others in the cast were: (i. W. Young, Sybil Mecham, Joan Taysom, Raydell Cobia, Paul Farr, - f -' Y T if The Sword Foster to interpret the news of the school, and to comment on it. It will be very helpful to me if the students would write me a letter or give me their views on matters of this kind. I want to give you a paper that you will like, but I have no intention of kissing the feet of the masses if I feel that there is a job to be done, and a situation to be publicized. I had no intentions of slandering anyone in particular, I just wanted to shed some light on a situation which is with us. I used bad taste in doing so, I admit. The fault is not on one club's shoulders, but it lies with everyone of them. UTAH NOVEMBER 8, 1957 : i 4 . -rf are pictured here in a tender scene from the play, "The Barretts of went off with a bang, but was poorly attended. By Geraldin Utsman Larry Blaylock, Val Limburg, Lyle Davis, Lai'ry Smith, Ross Johnson, Jean Martini, Boyce Harris, Louis A. Gladwell, Lee Jorgensen and Flush. They all did a wonderful job remaining constant in character. The only spastic character was Flush and even then we did very well. Costumes Praised Everyone in attendance commented on the costumes, as they were both becoming to the actor and also correct for the period of the play. Congratulations must be given to those responsible for the set design, special lighting effects and make up. Hats off to T. Leonard Rowley for his fine direction and also to his crew for a job well done. Appreciation is extended to the We The smoke has settled in i the Signpost office and the i staff has taken off its armor. ! With the advent of the last issue of the paper, many little groups of people were seen in the halls cussing and discussing the articles written about Interclub Council and its president. Feelings were mixed and many opinions were heard on the matter. So much controversy was stirred up with the writings that Brent Harris was kept out of bed with phone calls and the editor of the paper was looked at with many expressions, mostly frowns. On each side of this article, there are letters from the two "sparring partners." They will help clear up the 'stands of both people involved, and possibly regain some friends for both. ber College Theatre Staff for their help. Poor W. C. Attendance The majority of the audience did not consist of Weber College students but rather of individuals who, realizing that earnest support of small theatre workshops is important to our community and appreciating the high cultural level of Weber College's productions in the past, sacrificed a few hours of their own time to attend the play. It would be a very nice gesture if the students of Weber ' College could learn to appreciate their own theatre productions as much as the private citizens of Ogden do. The next theatre attraction will be "Outward Bound," by Sutton Vane. The dates for this production are Dec. 3, 4, 5, (i, 7. Plan to attend! We need your support! V X etter Clarifies Stand Dennis Letter to the Editor: I am sorry the editors of The Signpost felt it necessary in the Oct. 25 edition to go to such lengths (a front page story and inside editorial) to criticize me for the way I handled a recent tie-vote situation that developed in Interclub Council. I felt the editorial was badly exaggerated.The case on which the editorials were based was simply this: Under the by-laws of Interclub, the president must cast his vote in case of deadlock voting. As president, I had a clear and mighty unpleasant duty to perform. Both Deanna Parker and Pat Wells, who were tied for office of secretary, are my good friends. By Barbara Henry The "Ivy League Look" will really be the thing for college coeds as well as fellows tomorrow when Excelsior sponsors the "Malefic." "Living W" By LARRY TOMLINSON The Life Science Division came to the rescue of stu-dentbocly officials looking for some type of monument to Weber College which could be located on the mountainside behind the campus. In a draft to the Board of Control, the Faculty of the Life Sciences, has suggested the school plant "native dry-land shrubs in the shape of a block W with an appropriate contrasting background of plants suitable to such a steep sundrenched slope." Project Under Study The Life Science letter offered the services of the division to study the appropriate plants and in cooperating with the studentbody in installing and maintaining the plants. It had been suggested by various studentbody officials that Weber construct the "W" of cement and stone and whitewash it. The Life Science letter points out, however, that such an installation is "common practice." "It would put us in the same class with all of the other high schools and colleges," the letter states. Another disadvantage to the stone "W" proposal is that it might create certain dangers from erosion, although not serious ones, the letter said. In concluding its letter the Life Science group says that such an installation would be original, unique, different and alive. Prexy Garner It would have taken the wisdom of a Solomon to have gotten out of that tight spot without hurting one of the girl's feelings. In a desperate attempt to be diplomatic, I mentioned that Deanna is a member of a sister club. The Signpost editors seized upon the chance to accuse me of playing "dirty politics." Actually, my intentions were anything but that. I hope this unfortunate situation will not undo the good work Interclub is attempting. I personally feel honored in having a part in the club leadership and will do my best such as that might be to carry out the high objectives of the organization this school year. According to Larry Beck, club member, last year the dance "was a huge success." It was held at the Old Mill and hosted a capacity crowd. The fellows have decided now to make it an annual affair. They also sponsor the Sweetheart Ball. If clothing worries you, forget about it because anything goes anything with a buckle that is! (This includes toreadors too.) The Scotsmen's Band will be on hand at :00 p. m. to furnish the music. Admission is $1.50 per couple. Officers in charge of the "night of evil" are Dave Hendrickson, president; Gary Larsson, vice-president; Dennis Garner, secretary; Dick Baker, treasurer, and Jim Packer, sergeant-at-arms.
