Mr. Hebestreet himself received one of the watches. Forensic students from 15 colleges and universities participated. Mr. Hebestreet said that two teams each from Weber State and Brigham Young University entered the semifinal rounds of debate, with the Weber debaters winning. “At this point, I decided that instead of having Weber’s two debate teams go into a ' final round, I would let them share equally in first and second place honors,”’ he said.

Adding to Weber’s total score for sweepstake honors were winnings by Randy Scott, who took six straight wins for first place trophy in the interpretation of literature, and Paul Orton, a first place trophy in oratory.

Students Ask Ban-on Smut - More than 600 Weber State College students joined the campaign against the “widespread dissemination of pornography and smut in our community” Thursday night. A petition, signed mostly by students, was presented to the City Council, asking that action be taken in three specific areas. This was the second such petition to be presented to the council in two weeks, the first bearing 263 names of Weber County residents who asked that the Adult Book and Cinema Shop be closed. Councilman Robert H. DeBoer called the reaction of the student’s, ‘‘fantastic’”’, and said he thinks the petitions are “‘indicative of the feeling in the community”’ toward the dissemination of pornographic literature. The student petition asks that the council take action to: — Ban the licensing and existence of stores that have as a principal part of their business the sale of pornographic film, pictures, magazines or books, within six blocks of any church or school in the city. —Ban the outdoor showing of obscene or X-rated movies within Ogden. — Require by ordinance that any business in the city that sells sexually oriented materials not display or advertise this material within the view or reach of minors. Petitioners said they ‘‘desire to maintain our city as one of high standards.”’ “Because we want to retain Ogden’s reputation of culture and beauty, and a desirable place to raise a family, we urge our city council to enact ordinances that will reflect the concern of the citizenry,’’ the petitioners continued. Mayor Bart Wolthuis said the students asked “‘a couple of weeks ago what they could do and this was what we suggested.” |
