Show WEBER SOCIAL SCENE ONE QUINN'S OPINION Alpha Rho Welcome Frosh Abruptly, the rush season has ended, climaxed with Alpha Rho Omega's traditional banquet in the Peacock Room, in which some thir ty-odd pledges were welcomed and sworn in by president Keith Jones. A timely speech by That cher Allred, remarks by advisor Fred Rabe, "jokes" by Jones, and a song from a talented frosh, Don Cope composed a well-organized evening of fine entertainment. As usual, Alpha Rho is topping the men's clubs with parties with the appealing clubs of the opposite sex. This time it is Xmas parties, two of 'em! A caroling-and-game party with Chanodo, and a Snow T3asin Party with the gals of Sharmea. Also a "plain ol' party", with our sisters of Sharmea. Naturally, a good time is expected, so, pledges and members, be there! CHANODO Saturday morning bright and early we Merry Maids, gathered to decorate the Christmas tree. We really had a blast! Next on our agenda was our Pledge Banquet held on Sunday. December 4th.

EXCELSIOR Activity and action are the passwords of the Excelsior Men during these pre-holiday weeks. Now that jr. members have been selected, and committees formed, the go ahead signal has been given for full steam ahead in preparation for holiday activities and for the annual Excelsior-Otyokwa Sweetheart ball. Aside from the blasts being planned for the Christmas season, The E-men are pooling funds to present Christmas baskets to needy families of the Ogden area. As for the Sweetheart Ball, Excelsior and Otyokwa are planning big things to keep in the general trend of top-notch dances being presented ' this year at Weber-Sigma pulled off a classic affair with their "Club Flamingo" and Phoenix's Snowball promises to be a tremendous initiation of name presentations at Weber dances. The E-men, realizing the importance and diffieultv of this 1-nV stn being taken by the Sisters have of- I ierea iuu support and will attend the affair en masse. Genuinity Is Feminine Characteristic By Tom Quinn "Take it off, girls, take it off!" The cry of the burlesque theater clientele is being taken up by all .mankind as a plea that women come to their senses and stop this ridiculous business of trying to buy what they ain't got. Girdles, pads, corsets, etc., all fall under the heading of useless camouflage. Wearing them is like putting a sack over an elephant s head as a disquise. Everybody with half an eye can see that it's still an elephant for two reasons: (1) They've seen elephants without sacks, and (2) they know where the sack ends and the elephants begin, having seen sacks without elephants in them. To worry this elephant-sack simile a little more, if all that sacks were used for. was to put over elephant's heads, everytime we saw a sack we'd think, "Humm. they go on an elephant." Well, the same is true of the things closest to you girls, and nobody is fooled about no body. During the Civil War, soldiers used fortifications breastworks as they were called to protect themselves against the cavalry. Now-days, girls use them to protect themselves against the calory. Rather than quit stuffing themselves like sausage; or, at the other extreme, eating like a fish, i. e., just a nibble here and there, girls get up from the dinner table and rush downtown to buy themselves into shape. Too many of you, girls take it as a compliment when people say you look like a million dollars. Don't! A million dollars is a round figure, and that's what they mean you've got. So, if you look like a bag' of full of bricks reduce; or if you're so thin you've only got one side eat more. But don't stoop to this subterfuge of playing the grown SIGMA Look quick, kiddies! Because you'll never see anything closer to perpetual motion than the well-oiled Sigma machine. Without even a' shift in gear (we're always in high), the bis wheels have started turning out a new product another party. bcneauled tor the day after Phoenix's Snowball (which we hope everyone attends) the party will be held in conjunction with one of .our favorite girls' clubs at Snow Basin. With vollevball drae-e-inp- thrnno-h its final phases the Casaba goons have been practicing all week as weu as lining up games with the local high school fives. SHARMEA PHOENIX Somebody Goofed! In the last issue of the Signpost your reporter announced that Woody Herman would play for the Phoenix Snow Ball. Well that was a mistake and the reporter is now a member of the Foreign Legion. However, your new reporter would like to let you know that the lovely June Christy will entertain at the Snow Ball. The dancing music will be furnished by Dell Bush and his Band. Grab a dame and we'll see you at 0:00 p.m., Doc. Hi at the White City Ballroom. What a wonderful, cute bunch of kids Sharmea pledged! We were just thrilled when we saw them at our acceptance tea which was held at Sharon Lanson s house. The pledge banquet was a big affair held at Hoffman's Steak House. Everyone ate a big fried chicken dinner except Carla Fowler who ate two, hers and anyone else's who didn't want a salad, drumstick or baked potato- Except for falling red petticoats, pinned up with pledge pins, everyone was able to relax and really enjoy their sisters company. The freshman officers were announced at the banquet. They are: President Jolene Holmes, Vice-president Annette Hains, and Secretary Karen Warner. We're looking forward to some really fun times with our little sisters. To Weber College.
