Go .l. down the final curtain for the season May 18, 19, and 20 with Family Portrait, " We Stay a t modern flavor and looks distinguished. The Student Government Association Council, with the backing of the student body, must create a mascot that will be looked up to instead of being laughed at. This summer the student government must work to fulfill this project so by next fall the old and new students will be looking at a new mascot. It will certainly be a great uplift for the college. The Westminster symbol or mascot, has got to go! This school does not represent a priest on a jackass with a brown mexican suit and a wide sombrerro. . Westminster College represents today and tomorrow, not yesterday. The word PARSON is out of date, and it is embarrassing for a student to mention it outside campus. Most college mascots are animals or dirty old Indians of long ago. Of course, we want something with class that has a play directed by Jim Smith three-a- ct and Rita Snyder. Jim has appeared in numerous productions: Raisin In the Sun, Dirty Work At the Crossroads, and Every Man, If Men Played Cards as Women Do. This is his first experience in directing. Rita was seen in Family Reunion, Dirty Work at the Crossroads, and La Dama del Alba. Along with being assistant director, she will also appear in Family , Portrait. the cast is Marie McCarthy, Janus. She will be playing a completely different role in this production. rs are: Kitty Lou Brown, Jim Stingle, Skip Hill, John Pavich, Charlie Kulp, Shirley Spaford, and Mary Bilbao.

Young people, who fill . the ..Great Salt Lake Beaches each week, want a modernistic structure that will satisfy their wants. But it seems that the citizens that are not at the beach want to keep' the ugly building alive. Governor Rampton, Attorney General Phil Hansen, and Secretary of State Clyde Miller, (the Board of Examiners) must decide in the next weeks whether Saltair will be torn down or rejuvenated through private funds. The groups heading the fight for saving Saltair presented to the Board of Examiners last week their plans for saving Saltair : and the money that will be needed. These groups, represented by Sheldon Brewster, are of the older generation and are looking, back, on Saltair in a melancholy tone. These men dont seem to realize that the people who will be using the facilities at the Saltair beach like new modern accommodations, not styles of the early 20th . , , century. In thinking' about the Great Salt Lake Beach, the Board of Examiners must look ahead to the space demands of the young at heart and not the old. - . Can Jr. College Work? Due to growing pains in the four, year college, the California school system inaugurated the junior college plan. The reason for the junior college was to take the growing pressures off of the four year college and apply this pressure to the junior plan where the function of desegra-gatin- g the poor student from the good student could work more effectively. The junior college in California has been a great success and is being expanded for greater use. The University of Utah is feeling growing pains, and for a while something was going to be done about it. Last spring the Utah State Legislature appointed a committee to see if a junior college, would be feasible in Salt Lake County. ..One of the opponents of the junior college system the committee interviewed was;Dr. James Fletcher, president of the University of Utah. His reasons for opposing the system are monetary factors and the poor education a junior college gives. Dr. Fletcher does . Letters to , not want to be competing for moneys from the state legislature with another school, even though he is with Weber State, College of Southern Utah, College of Eastern Utah, and Dixie College. Also, if the junior college in the future years is outstanding scholastically, it could overshadow the U as it has many times in California. With a junior college in Salt Lake County, the University would have more leg room to work for higher scholastic standards, instead of fighting the growing pains, which they seem to want so badly, according to the attitude of their president. Because of little foresight on the committees part, they defeated the idea of a junior college in this area. Now, for the next twenty years, the University will have the same problem it has had in the past: too ' many students for too few instructors. There is no doubt Salt Lake County will have a junior college in twenty years. The Editor Dear Editor: On Saturday night, April 30, Westminster College presented its annual Mardi Gras in Payne Gymnasium. We would like to thank all of those who devoted so much of their time in decorating and organizing for this event. Mardi Gras was a success. The crowd, which consisted mainly of Senior High school students and adults, enjoyed the booths and floor show very much. We are sorry that so many students had other plans made and could not attend. Those that did not come, missed a very enjoyable evening. It is hoped that the student turnout will not be indicative of things to come. Thanks again, George Ligeros Chairman Mardi Gras 66 QUOTES Draft beer not students. Anonymous. Dr. Parr: Anything I dont know isnt knowledge.
