EVOLUTION AT WEBER FALL WINTER SPRING served for centuries in Hawaii. The Hawaiian team, led by Winona Love, sings, "What the Lei Said to Me," "Song of the Islands" and native selections. The lingering melody of "Aloha Oe" concludes the program. The student has learned to better understand his brothers of the Islands. As the echoes of "Mai Poina" die away, the student begins singing "Hail to Santa Rosa;" another school is coming for friendly competition. Superintendent Cross and Dean Baily come with the Santa Rosa team. They tell of Junior Colleges on the coast, thus giving the student an insight into the thoughts and problems of another section of his country. Then comes a let-down following the glamour of athletic competition. The "Weber Bum" is now a familiar character. President Tracy smells an onion in the halls. The student must absorb a little more culture. There are sweeping investigations disclosing wild parties after games. Wild parties at which every one chewed gum and consumed at least one milk shake. The student is under a cloud. He must mend his ways. No more milk shakes and chewing gum, or he is on the road to ruin. At last the student sees the error of his conduct. He has his cords cleaned a trifle more often and limits his indulgence to lollypops instead of gum. He has come under the influence of devotional. With this improvment in the student's cultural ideals comes also educational development. The major groups furnish programs for devotional. The student is given an opportunity to tell others about the subjects he has been studying. The engineering department conducts a mystery act to illustrate common natural phenomena. The trials of being a teacher are told by the educational group. The English students present extemperaneous speeches and essays dealing with many problems of modern life. Special programs are also brought to Weber from outside sources. Burdette Smith explains the practical side of taxation. He makes the student realize that although taxes may be as inevitable as death, they are not nearly so unpleasant, and that the average citizen gets a greater return for the money which he spends for taxes than from any other expenditure he makes. Through C. C. Sanford of the Forest Service the student hears of forestry and its value. He finds that trees which he had before considered only as so much wood or shade have a great deal to do with the water supply, weather conditions, prevention of erosion. Prof. Jacobsen of the U. A. C. presents the idea that a college education is like a dam which prevents the dissipation of energy in the "spring of life," saving it to be of value in the "drought of later years." Guy C. Wilson teaches that "Streams ana men who follow the lines of least resistance are always crooked." These special programs not only present to the student many valuable ideas, but they also give him an incentive to overcome obstacles which stand in the way ot his own success. The debate department, through its activities presents another phase of the devotional program. The student hears Weber debate the disarmament problem with both Williamette College of Salem, Oregon, and with the U. A. C. When Weber debaters return from their trips the student is told-about distant schools and of their ideals. National problems take on a new interest to him as he is made more familiar with them . He is getting ideas which will make of him a better citizen. Student business is conducted in devotional. The student discovers and meets many of the problems he will later face as a citizen. He learns court procedure, nominates new officers, and gives campaign speeches. In short, he becomes familiar with the part played by politics in modern life. Then, too, devotional has its humorous side. The student may forget how to integrate the hyperbolic side sinh of X, but he will not forget the little Yiddish fairy tales of Jeannette Morrell; Dallas Barret chasing his drum sticks across the stage, much to the consternation of Mr. Williams; or Virginia Nicholas and the other girls with their campaigning for "Rosebud," and "Johnny-jump-up," when "Ock" was elected "King of the May." Finally the student comes to the last devotional. Testimony meeting, the graduates telling how much they will miss the old school. A song by Lee or Blanche-music, another Yiddish reading, and it is all over. Why should that funny lump come into his throat at the thought, "Last time today?" Never again to hear Karma play the prelude or hear Blanche sing "Am I Blue?" Not even to hear Lee sing "Trees." It will seem funny never to come back again, for this is the last time today. But the devotional has served its purpose. It has given the student that essential part of his education; it has taught him "something about everything." History In The Making SEPTEMBER 18-In the absence of Pres. Tracy, Prof. Blaylock delivered the welcome address to the students. 19-Pres.
