Show January z i , i yoo f j ' ''fa ' !T r Pre-Lav; Association Officers Elected FASHDONS By CHIP TOLBERT esquire's fashion editor CALLING ON THE BOARD! In order to set our 1966 campus fashion reports in the proper perspective, we called upon members of Esquire's 1965 College Advisory Board to bring us up to date on what's being worn on campuses North, East, South and West this winter. What regional fashion shifts occur as you move about the country? How does the casual attire worn in the West, for example, differ from that worn in the East? And which fashion trends seem most likely to spread out to other areas of the country? For some authoritative answers, read on . . . THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH, according to Michael Mains, University of Arizona '65, there's a brisk traffic in lightweight conservative suits with the dash of color supplied largely in neckwear. Striped ties predominate, but foulards are moving in again. Everybody wears button-downs, and the three-piece suit is infrequently seen on campus. In the mornings, when there's apt to be a chill in the air, a sweater worn with a button-down sport shirt and wheat jeans is sufficiently warm and informal enough for class. Heather-toned sweaters hold the edge, and corduroy jeans orwash-and-wear khakis complete the casual scene. In footwear, a wing tip properly .complements a suit, while saddle shoes or loafers are a standard part of the informal picture. SWINGING NORTH, Richard Gentry, Jr., University of Michigan, tells us that for north-country winters the rugged toggle coats are serviceable and popular. Above the knee lengths are what everyone's wearing. Here, the accent falls heavily on the informal touch : V-neck sweaters in solid colors; button-downs, both plain and striped; tapered corduroys and wheat jeans; and a solid serving of loafers and chukka boots. For fraternity parties and other social events, plaid sport jackets are beginning to make the scene. Herringbone and heather sport jackets lead the field, but big patterns are beginning to make some headway. In neckwear, there's a trio of popular entries: stripes, club figures and paisleys. Semiformal slacks are usually tapered flannel, and loafers or wing-tip shoes go best with the sport jacket and slacks. WAY OUT WEST, at Berkeley, Scott Gregg informs us that one of the unique features on his campus is the colored sneaker. Perhaps this is a manifestation of Berkeley's celebrated penchant for innovation. Beyond that, the fashion picture, both in casual and dressy attire, follows patterns familiar throughout the rest of the country's campuses. V-neck sweaters predominate, with crew necks a close second. Sport shirts appear in a wide, but not necessarily wild, variety of patterns and colors. Madras is the outer limit. Permanent press casual slacks and blue jeans are In in the casual order of things. Herringbone, hound's-tooth, and heather mixtures complete the sport jacket picture, with greens and grays the most popular colors in the tapered slacks which are worn with the jacket. Colored or pin stripe button-downs and diagonal-striped ties (plus loafers") round out the accessories picture. ON THE EASTERN SEABOARD, the big thing. according to John Lamb, Jr. of Princeton, is boots. Everybody seems to be wearing them with informal clothing especially during the winter months, for they obviate the need for rubbers or galoshes. Ski jackets are now stan dard apparel as are heather crew-neck sweaters. Subdued, dark colors rule the sport jacket scene. Worn with them are colored or striped button-downs and repp ties. Moving over to the casual side of the wardrobe, dark-colored flannel slacks give way to severely tapered trousers. For dress up occasions, smooth leather loafers or wing tips; for tasualwear. brushed,leather loafers or chukka boots. - V ('A r Discussing future plans of Pre-law Club are new officers (left to right) Jerry Nebeker, President; Devon Dahl, Vice-president; Richard Chapman, Secretary, and Douglas Young, Treasurer.

Arrangements may be made for them by ;phonine Signpost to "State Stand" There are many definitions of freedom and democracy, but I think one of the most important aspects to any definition is often overlooked. That aspect is the freedom to dissent. One fault we as Americans pos-ess is the belief that our opinions and ideas are correct and that all others are wrong. Too often what we fail to realize is that there are two sides to every question, every issue. No matter how one-sided any issue may seem, it always posesses an alternative. It is only through hearing, understanding and intelligently analyzing both sides that we can honestly form a conclusion about anything. When we, as Americans, come to the point when we can no longer objectively weigh the opposite sides of controversial issues, we can no longer consider ourselves as living within a democracy. Only by looking at both sides of every issue and weighing the advantages of both, can we reach an honest conclusion which we can intelligently support. It is around this central theme that "State Your Stand" will revolve. We shall attempt to present to you the students and faculty of Weber State College, both sides of the controversial, international, national, local, and campus issues. The conclusions drawn will be your own. We ask only that these conclusions be supported by fact and logic only after an objective analysis of both sides of the issue is drawn. "State Your Stand" is significantly different from Sound-Off which is held every Tuesday noon in the UB main foyer. "State Your Stand" will be bimonthly and will present affirmative and negative speakers on the controversial issues of the day. The speakers will be given a five minute constructive speech to pre-, sent the issue, and will be followed by a controlled panel discussion and students' questions and comments.On Thursday, January 27, "State Your Stand" will present "Is the SIGNPOST Fulfilling its Obligations as the Student Newspaper of Weber State College?" Jack Suttlemyre, editor of the Signpost, will speak for the affirmative side. Everyone is urged to attend and to air his opinions about your student newspaper on Thursday noon in rooms 106 and 108. r On Report Figures recently released from the Scholastic Standards office indicate that almost 1500 Weber State College students are now on probation. These students are on either warning, academic, or final probation. Students placed on warning probation are cautioned that they must improve their academic standing or face restrictions. 680 students have received notification that they are on warning probation. Some 492 of them are freshmen; 131 are' sophomores; 43 are juniors; and 14 are seniors. Academic probation results when a student receives between 11 and 20 minus points. This means that the student has at least 11 hours of credit below a "C" average. There are 226 freshmen, 96 sophomores, 35 juniors, and 23 seniors on academic probation this quarter for their minus points, as well as 25 students who have an overall average above two points, but who did poorly.
