Publication Committee Award Committee Committees are the tentacles of the student-body octupus. They perform much of the actual work, taking direct authority from the Board of Control. The publications committee holds an advisory position over Signpost, Scribulus, Acorn and the Hand- book. Composed of various members on the different staffs, they are in a position to see both sides of every question and as a result are qualified for their jobs. The award committee determines scholarship, awards, and eligibility, spending great amounts of perspiration and hair on their complicated and somewhat thankless job. It's up to them whether or not you get that baby-shaker knit, or perhaps a gold medal, or even a certificate of activity. Another of their respon- sibilities is the awarding of scholarships, which in itself is a job demanding countless hours. Dr. Robert Clarke is chairman and is assisted by two other faculty members, Mr. Buss and Miss Peterson.

 From the windy discussions of the Ac- tivities Commiitee emerges the law that rules Weber's rulers. Such decisions as who-gets-which-date-for-what-affair and which - organization - gets - how - many - dances-per-season come under the juris- diction of this vital committee. It consists of Mr. Gray. Chairman, and a mixture of faculty and students. The students are chairman of the dance committee and the student body officers. They are the right bunch to get in good with. Activities Committee Inter-club Council Inter-club Council is the representative body which lays down laws for clubs to follow. A system of eleven social clubs —and more being organized each year —demands some common council for collective legislation and judgment. Each club sends its president and two mem- bers- -one sophomore and one freshman —to a monthly meeting presided over by council president Kent Rounds. There grievances are aired and beefs are heard, thus avoiding the old-fashioned alternative of two rival clubs resorting to a gang-fight to settle difficulties.

Mr. Hurst's lyceum committee has set an enviable record in a year with a wide variety of artistic presentations. Ranging irom a brass quartet to the Joos European Ballet, from Hose Iturbi to the Don Cossack Choir, from a girl violinist to Bobo the magician, he has convinced all concerned that Weber's partnership with the Ogden Community Concert Series is highly successful. Scheduling, censorship, and advice to master-of-ceremonies comes under the jurisdiction of the student-faculty assembly com- mittee. Chairman Young, bearing up bravely under his big worry, has developed one of Weber’s most efficient groups. The rally committee takes charge of student body shots-in-the- arm. It’s their duty to keep collegians in a perpetual state of near-hystena by means of rallies, snake dances, parades, and sidewalk-painting. They do their duty.
