CAMPUS Scene State "Politics·· Touch Aggie Campus and Alumni Members Taking the spotlight in student and faculty affairs during spring quarter was the announcement by !'resident F. S. Harris that he would be a candidate for the govrnorship of the state on the Republican ticket. A strong delegauon, representing agricultural, business, and professional groups, had for some time been exerting pressure on Dr. Harris to seek the nomination.

This new development brings Aggie friends into the political arena .trom both major parties. Rulon White from Ogaen is a former Aggie student and he is seeking the nomination on the D emocratic slate. John Boyden, husband of Orpha Sweeten Boyden '29, is pushjng his candidacy for the same post.

D. A. Skeen '09, immediate past president of the Alumni Association and a member of the Board of Trustees, has been prominently mentioned as a candidate for governor on the Democratic ticket. It is reported that a petition of designation of nomination is being circulated among the people over the state urging his nomination.

While Heber Bennion Jr. '1 3, has been talked of by a consWerable number of people as a Democratic canrudate for the governorship, it is understood that he will be a candidate to succeed himself as Secretary of State. Mr. Bennion is a member of the Alumni Council and a member of the Board of Trustees. The post he now holds is of great importance in the direction of state affairs.

As alumni, we h ope that both parties select men who are friendly to• the College for it is anticipated that during the re-adjustment period a head, our institution may have n ed of a ll the su pport it can muster.

Campus Visitors The campus scene has presented a program of many and varied activities for Aggie students during this current semester. Probably outstanding was the visit of Republican presidential aspirant Harold E. Stassen in January. Stassen spok e to the entire student body who assembled in the Fieldhouse to h ear him . His visit has gained specia l significance in light of his curre nt lead of other candidates Iur th e GOP nomination.

Another national v isitor was Marriner S. Eccles, vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, who addressed students, faculty and townspeople in April.

Military Ball Utah State's 55th Annual Military Ball, staged in honor of Gov. Herbert B. Maw, was acclaimed a huge success by the 900 couples w ho attended.

Traditionally the highlight of the military department's activities, the ball marked a record in off-thecampus attention. Top army officers in the Sixth army area were in attendance.

Opera, '11 Trova:tore The music department carried on a popular tradition this year when they staged another outstanding opera production, "Il Trovatore."

After receiving wide acclaim following performances before Logan audiences, the entire cast and orchestra journeyed to Salt Lake City where under sponsorship of the Utah State alumni chapter in that area performed in Kingsbury Hall. This marked the first presentation of an Aggie opera in Salt Lake. Roland W. Dance '36, president of the Salt Lake Chapter handled arrangements.

Feudin' Weeks The yearly Engineer .- Fores_ter feudin' took place early m Spnng quarter. Unlike other years 1t laste d two weeks as Engineer week was revived after a lengthy absence from the campus. The Engi neers still have Paul Bunyan as a result of a daring niid on the Foresters' headquarters last year.

A Day The Aggie annual "clean up" day was held May 5. Complete with useful improvement projects, campus lunch a nd contests in the afte rn oon t he day produced "Student Lies", a nnual lie-filled version of Student Life. Alumni desiring a copy of the sheet may r equest copies from the Alumni Office.

Student Life Makes "All-American" Rating Student Life, campus weekly newspaper, was awarded All-American honors for the fourth time w hen the issues edited by Bob Welch, '49, received that "superior" rating from the Associated Col legiate Press, Minneapolis, Minn.

Only nine other college weekly papers in the nation whose enrollme nt is between 2500 and 4999 students received the award, the highest given.

College Pays Tribute To C. G. Adney C. G. Adney, immediate past chairman of the USAC Board of Trustees, and a booster for the College for many years, was honored at a special Founders' Day program on March 19. Thorpe B. Isaacson, member of the Board, was in charge of preparations for the affair which attracted statewide attention.

Paying tribute to the leadership and sterling attributes of Mr. Adney, whose term of service to the school is unmatched in as far as continuous service on the Board is concerned, were Dr. E. G. P eterson , president emeritus, and President David 0. McKay. Faculty, frie nds, and al umni joined in presenting th e Adneys a beautiful console model Stromberg-Carl son combination radio and phonograph. The faculty at the Branch Agricultural College presented the couple with a lovely picture of the College ranch w hich Mr. Adney was instrumental in securing for them.

Joyce is teaching at the University of Utah and Betty is making her home in Virginia where her husband, Cliff Gaynard is stationed with the U. S.

Adult Education Centers Established Adult education will receive new impetus in northern, central and southern Utah very soon when residence collegiate credit centers are established in Ogden and Cedar City by the USAC. Students may earn residence credit fully approved by the college toward a college degree at these centers. This is for the convenience of teachers and others who desire degrees or personal advancement. It will be unn ecessary for the m t o stop work in regular positions.

Classwork will be conducted in la te afternoon and evening.

A wide variety of courses will be available, d epe nding on demand .

Some of the subjects in which demand has been strongest are education, literature, social science, botany, geology and similar subjects.

President H . . A. Dixon of Weber college will cooperate in the Ogden area and Dr. H. Wayne Driggs of BAC will cooperate in the Cedar City sector.

These residence centers will be conducted in conjunction with the two colleges. Dr. L . G . Noble, director of the Extension division of the college will be in charge of this work.

Aggie Homecoming Set For October 23 The 1948 Utah State Homecoming will be held Saturday, October 23, when Brigham Young University football team plays in the Aggie stadium. This should be one of the top games of this year's schedule and it is confidently expected that alumni will flock to Logan both for Homecoming rites and for the football encounter.

Those alumni who go deer hunting each fall may rest assured that they can get their deer and still b e back in plenty of time to attend Homecoming. A check with sports authorities shows that deer hunting season will open officially on October 16, one week before the Aggie Homecoming.

Publication Posts Filled For 1948-49 Appointments to the top positions on the three major Aggie publications, Stude nt Life, Buzzer, and ScribbJ , were announced recently by the Publica tions council on the campus.

Recognizing the need for wider r epresentation on the USAC Athl etic Council, President Harris expanded the m embership of that group to include the president of the "A" Mens' Athletic Association and the Alumni Executive Secretary. Mr. D. A. Skeen , member of the Board and immediate past president of the Alumni Association, was named to represent the Board on the Council. The new set-up should win the approval of all concerned for it has been felt for a long time that it would b e desirable to have the alumni and "A " Men represented on that athletic body.

Cantril (Flash) Ni els n, president of the "A" Men , Mr. Skeen , and Leonard W. McDonald, alumni secretary, we re welcom ed to the co uncil membership.

It is unde rstood that this new membership will be perm anent fo r the groups concerned. Dr. Kin g Hendricks, appointed by Pres. Harris, serves as chairman.

P. E. Majors Make Excellent Records

Aggie Baseball Stages Comeback

Utah State athletes who have left the campus to ente~ the c~aching game are making ~mpressiVe records with the athletic teams of the institutions they are serving. Equally impressive is the re~ord of the Aagie Physical Educat10n departm~nt which boasts 100 percent placement of graduates for 1946-47.

Prospects for '48 graduates are very good according to Prof. Hy Hunsa ker , department h ead. .

Seven Ag grads brought the1r learns to the Utah State 1948 high school basketball tournaments. In lh B division, Quill Allen, Cedar City; Keith Trane, Wasatch ; Clc;trk J ohnson, Tooele; Udell Wank1er, Monroe.

Entering th e A bracket wer Floyd Slater, Weber ; John Brobe.rg, South Cache; Cecil Baker, Gramte.

Weights May Highlight Track Season

Coaching School Will Be Tops

Track season is in the air although bad weather has kept track and field aspirants indoors. Prospects for coming season range all the way from fair to excellent according to Coach Howard "Tuff" Linford ·who has outlined plans for his spiked shoe artists.

Linford who is entering his second season as head track master, has 74 men working out- many since January on the sand strip in the field house.

Brightest spot on the team looms in the weight department where four prominent lettermen are in the fold - Art Gottfredson, Ralph Maughan, Bus Williams, and Dee Anderson.

Maughan and Williams are back to garner points in their specialties, the hammer, shot, and javelin.
