Show Glen Brewer Among Weber's chief claims to fame is the semi-monthly newspaper, Signpost, product of the classes in journalism and one of the finest junior college publications to be found in the country. Signpost was born a few years ago as a hall black- board; went through a brief adolescence as a mimeographed sheet; and now under Mr. Nilsson's care, it has become full- bodied and fine-limbed. The Signpost staff, with Norman Bowen as editor-in-chief and Glen Brewer as business manager, can write 30 to their final issue with the know- ledge of a job well done. SIGNPOST Signpost Staff Development of Signpost from a five-column school-kid novelty to a full-size eight-column purveyor of news brought full-size eight-column complications, among which was the necessity of taking wholesome, robust cussings from the professional lino-typers who put out the paper on the regular Standard-Examiner presses. Amateur journalists got an inside view of all the obstacles, complications, and frustrations which beset professional journalists. If all our broken deadlines were laid end to end they would break blood-vessels in every city editor in the country. But it's all invaluable experience for embryonic news-hawks who had never realized what they were getting into. And who knows how many Steinbecks and Dreisers have evolved from just such a series of hectic responsibilities and troubles? And, too, how many businessmen and bankers and streetcleaners?
