Official paper of the Weber College Address all communications to Weber Herald, Ogden, Utah. THE WEBER HERALD STAFF Willard Marriott Editor Elizabeth Scppich Asst. Editor Elma Taylor Asst. Editor Nan Emmctt Asst. Editor Business Mgr J. Willard Marriut COLLEGE STANDARDS A college when properly functioning should radiate an atmosphere of culture, refinement, chivalry and ethics that is characteristic of the upper strata. These should be a marked distinction between high school students and college students. College students are emerging or have emerged from the puerile adolescent period. They are men and women and their bearing and conduct should reflect maturity. There should be an atmosphere of finish, of initiative, of conservatism, of leadership, of ideals. True to these traditions Weber college students are conducting themselves as real college men and women. These qualities are being manifested in the college activities. The debating clubs, Thinkers' club, Drama club, etc., are meant to develop those qualities and ideals that make for scholarship, culture and good citizenship. The college Hallowe'en party was one of the highest type ever held in the history of Weber. Everything even to the Devil's Den was a type that would do honor to any college. It was invitational and therefore was a select group whose decorum and chivalry would not jar on the ideals of the most aesthetic and elite. Music, costumes, and dancing was such as one would expect to find in ballrooms of the most circumspect. The same type of thought and conduct is exhibited in the col-Uege devotionals. Some of the best talent in the city, state, and nation is being brought in. Already such men as Apostle David O. McKay, President Samuel G. Dye, President John Halls, John M. Mills, superintendent of the State Industrial school, Congressman Don B. Colton,Ex-Congressman Milton H. Welling, Principal Merrill of the Ogden High school, Mr. Boothe of the American Prison Reform association and others have given talks of the very highest type encouraging the students and lifting them from the sordid things of life into the bright sunshine of the upper strata where they can bask in the better things of life. The readings, music and other exercises are of the same high class. NEW CONDITIONS NECESSITATE CHANGE IN BOARD OF CONTROL An entire revision of the constitution that has heretofore governed the student asociation at Weber has been found necessary this year. This is due to the fact that the name Weber has now become significant, with college in addition to high school, and to the fact that this college has now enrolled sufficient members to call itself a student body independent of the high school student body. The old constitution naturally enough made no provision for such a condition and hence is inadequate to cope with the conditions and problems that have this year arisen. Consequently, it has been found necessary to immediately draw up a new constitution W. Edwards & Sons FIRST-CLASS SHOE REPAIR SERVICE 330 24th St. Service Is Our Motto which will include botli student bodies, or to make two Separate constitutions, one fur each student body which might or might not have its own buard of control, it is advisable in many respects lor the two student bodies to remain together on the Board of Control because ot the centralized treasury. But in other respects there seems to be considerable reason tor separating as the two student associations have different interests and aspirations. Of late also there has been some antagonism between the two and the officers of each association feel that they are being hampered by the officers of the other, to such an extent that it seems that more could be accomplished by allowing each division to decide its own problems. However, nothing definite has been decided. Committees have already been appointed to draw up new constitutions and it is expected that matters will be straightened out, to the satisfaction of both student associations, in the near future. LINES Today we hear a great deal of talk about "lines." Some one says a girl is popular because she has a clever "line"; the college student speaks very knowingly about Tennyson's "line". Very recently we heard a Sunday morning golfer say that he didn't need to go to church as he had "heard the preacher's 'line' before."This attitude which we take today is not necessarily one of irreverence ; it is rather the commercialized view which we take of all of the angles of life. Each has his trade to present, and displays his wares through the medium of his line, and because every one today is vying with his fellow in this little business game, each suspects the other. When our old and tried family doctor announces that the youngest son needs an immediate operation for appendicitis, we wink an eye and - wonder if his last year's sedan is in need of this year's tires. When a life-long friend does not forget any one in her list of invited guests to her daughter's wedding, we can not help wondering if our "presents" are requested. In truth, we have become a suspicious lot, and have allowed the ulterior motive idea to make us believe that every sentence uttered, every movement made, by our fellow beings, is just a part of their "line." In truth, the very ones of us who write articles for a school paper, are accused of "putting over our lines," and of coveting rewards other than those purely artistic. In love letters, x x x marks the spot where the man fails. ; pie ril&K.v i ci m.in...inJ k 1 WEBER MOURNS, YET FELICITATES Alter a night ot anxiety an fear, Weber finds itself this morning in the dark shadow of a cloud of perplexity. Should she snatch up her banners and celebrate, or should she "half mast" the flag and mourn ? Should she raise up her chest and be proud, or should she put her light down m the furnace room? Should she prepare to shed tears (she has them), or lift up her apron and giggle ? Did she win or did she lose? She admits he was defeated that he is now just an "also ran." But while the returns were exhilarating to some and disappointing to others they only added to the complexity of Weber's dilemna. Somehow he did not wear the right kind of collar or he must not have been 100 for the people. In spite of the earnest campaigning of his English classes he lost. Notwithstanding his loss, however, Weber wins. Wasn't it Van Dyke who said losers weepers, finders keepers? Weber is the finder and the keeper. So dispel the cloud and celebrate. He will remain to grace our rostrum and continue to "remind us." "Let's go, Weber. Nine tears for Ernest's defeat and nine lusty "Rahs" for Weber's victory. BETTER ENGLISH The second week in November is set apart as "Better English Week." Its purpose is to call our attention for one week to one of our greatest gifts, the mother tongue. Of course we are not to be speech purists for only one week, but to concentrate our minds upon our language for this brief time that we may better use it through the other weeks of the year. During this week our attention should be called to the fact that our language is not fixed and dead, but living and therefore constantly changing; that there are before us two standards, good English and vulgar English ; and that the usage by the educated men and women of America should set the standard of America speech. We as students should avoid purism, fadism, . and artificial speech at the one extreme and vulgarism at the other. We should strive for distinctness of utterance and agreeable voice. These two things are worthy of cultivation. Let us work for distinctly and agreeably spoken English in our institution. Effective speaking enhances personality. The world admires the man or woman of strong personality. Therefore bend every effort to speak effectively. Let us work for speech improvement through the entire year. The Speech Committee of America suggests that there be STUDENT BODY STRAW Election Conducted On November 7, the History department conducted a straw vote on the political candidates. The results showed an overwhelming victory for the Democratic party. REPUBLICAN PARTY Ernest Bamberger 93 Don B. Colton 140 James W. Cherry 132 Dr. C. N. Jensen 154 George S.

The swish of his rough old garmentsHas made a stinging breeze, His hoary laugh, like a devil's half, My very heart does freeze. For I wonder where my Autumn is, As I see the fruit of her fears, And lo, she sends me a message, A hoard of soft slow tears. It makes my Lord Fall angry For she makes his earth all wet. It's a sign that he's not master Which he would fain forget. Long, long ago my Lord did love With an all consuming flame, That Autumn feet unholy And she turned from him' in shame. E're that far day the two did reign As king and queen together, Between the two they made for us Intoxicating weather. And ever since they rule apart And separate in their reigns, The mad impetuous joyful blood Is tinkling ice in Lord Fall's views. The Falls are fierce now and then, And Autumn's soft and sighing For though she turned her love away, 'Tis for that love she's dying. Tony. WATCH YOUR WORD I will pronounce all my "ing's" and "ed's" distinctly. I will say: I saw the book. May I have a drink? I did it. A group of us boys went down town. She taught me to do this. I am as tall as he. Between him and me. He doesn't do the work. The bell has rung. I lay down yesterday. Let me do it. For whom is the book? Do as I do. Thly heard of my going. I prefer this kind of apple. Do you do your work well?.... This pie tastes good. It sounds as if it were true. He could scarcely realize his mistake. Is our work different from theirs?. He must have gone. The baby drank all the milk. The book is lying on the table. He and I are good pals. two "Better Speech Weeks," one during the second week in November and the other during the third week in February. The February observance is to be preferred for schools. VOTE GOES DEMOCRATIC By History Class David J. Wilson and Judge George S. Barker were the only Republican candidates who polled a majority vote. The results of the voting are as follows : DEMOCRATIC PARTY William H. King 197 Milton H. Welling 1SS E. E. Corfman 164 D. C. Jensen 160 Thomas J. Maginnis 139 W. J.

Lentz 162 Thomas Cunningham 185 The One Thing She Forgot Life is a generous giver And to me she has been kind, To the extent of a healthy body And also a healthy mind. When she mixed up my life's ingredientsShe must have laughed a lot For she put in a lot of humor, But, one thing she forgot. She added to the mixture Good will for all live things. She made me a musician The kind that neither plays or sings. She gave me a handsome family The best gift in the lot. Good friends galore, forever more But one thing she forgot. She put in some religion, The knowledge of right from wrong. She spilled too much of dreams Those that never linger long. Now when she seasoned my temper,She made it a bit too hot But with all her overdoses One thing she clean forgot. She made me fairly happy The best that she could do. If she couldn't make me wonderfulAt least she made me true. Kind reader, cast your eye On the items named above, She put in such a lot of things But not one ounce of Love! I guess that my two feet Were given that I might walk. By this same rule my two lips Were given that I might talk! Oh, it all sounds quite logical But its been known since days of yore, The faculty of talking Is not all your lips are for ! And now I'll give a resume In substance it is this, With all of nature's teachings She never taught me how to kiss. Tony. WEBER CAFETERIA CLOSES ITS PORTALS The Weber cafeteria has been closed. This is undoubtedly sad news for the many students and faculty members who have been acquiring "fat ponches and lean pates." During the past eight weeks the cafeteria, though not a money making proposition,has been operating without loss due to the able management of Mrs. Tanner. It has been considered advisable by some of the authorities to dispense with it until it can be run on-a separate basis by people not connected with the school. Those who have been benefited by the work of Mrs. Tanner and the college girls, have passed opinions opposing its discontinuation. They feel it is a necessary adjunct of the school and a convenience which all will miss. STUDENTS PENALIZED There has been considerable rivalry created in the race for leadership in penalization of students, for absence, needless guffawing, and unnecessary gabbing in study hall. "And lo, my name leads all the rest," was the comment of "Stew" Ilalliday, upon seeing his. IMiardgsgrHunt "Meet Me Bareheaded" NORMAN SIMS 25th St. at Wash. Ave. "See Us First" Watson-Tanner Clothing Co. 372 TWENTY-FOURTH STREET ABOUT "SMALL ACCOUNTS" There are no "small accounts" if possibilities are considered. Starting an acocunt is the first step in financial progress, the extent of which no one can foresee. We never lose sight of the fact that many of our depositors, whose business is transacted in modest figures now, will be men and women of large affairs tomorrow. Service is rendered accordingly. 4 Interest on Savings The National Bank of Commerce OGDEN, UTAH Chas. H.
