In doing this, we shall follow certain policies in doing the job that has been given us. In formulating policies pertaining to this paper, we have given the area of student interest the foremost consideration. In formulating our policy, we have drawn upon various sources. Our present guidelines are: (a) We believe that freedom can survive only if men are interested in it, and nourish freedom with knowledge and understanding.

Freedom cannot survive under conditions of ignorance and apathy. (b) We believe that self-government depends upon vigorous and informed conviction, and this can be encouraged only by free exchange of opinion. (c) We believe that one of the basic responsibilities of a newspaper, is to nurture freedom and self-government by first impartially reporting the news, and then by offer- ing its own and other considered opinions to stimulate in-formed discussion. Further, we accept the responsibility of forthrightly stating our opinion, and encouraging the expression of other opinions as an important function of the democratic process. We do so, hoping never to offend by abusive or unfair expres- airn Vnf -FnlKr ovmu'l' Hiaotrrpompnt Tr feint WA prPAliraw Letters to Editor Dear Editor: I too have been an active member of the Dominant Belief in the State of Utah.

Yet I feel that anyone who is so proud, so bigoted, and so self-righteous as to not allow the beliefs or ideas of others, is merely not aware of the concents advocated by their own religion. The 10th Article of Faith of the L.D.S. Church says, "We believe in worshiping God according to the dictates of our own conscience and allow all men the same privilege- Let them worship HOW WHERE, or WHAT they may." My question to you, if you do believe in your own religion, do you merely igno're this concept? Indeed if we chose only the concepts that suit our own purpose we could establish anything to be correct. May I reiterate my previous statement: This is a state-owned and operated institution. You are not forced to stay and mingle with those who smell of smoke, or those who don't believe as you do.

Or, to quote David Samoff: "Improving the mind is not quite as important as improving the quality and character of the human being so he will be able to distinguish between right and wrong. Somie of the best i minds have had some of the most deplorable characters. First assure character and then work on the mind." Sincerely, Leon Brace (Noel Ecarb) Note: EDUCATION College Runs 2 Series on KOET By Eugene Carlson MUl iWUJ other views. We shall continue an honest evaluation of the principles by which we are governed and their use the same principles that have been under evaluation since they were put in the founding documents of this nation. Those key words in our statement of policy are: freedom, knowledge, understanding, and informed opinion.

To be free, in any sense, is to be able to make a choice or select between alternatives where there are such. This means being qwqt-o fvF all snrnilnVild TTcFrvTmnirvn Tt is tn this pnr. that, we for an FM radio license has been made, Professor Noid explained that campus radio programming is a future goal. Some of the faculty members who have appeared on the programs thus far are: Margaret Waterfall on modem dance; Farrell Collett on modern art; Ken and Inge AdamS on teaching German; Benjamin Noid on speech and drama at WSC; and Rowland Perry on introduction to music. The remaining programs this year will feature the following: April 20 Dr.

Leland Monson on Shakespeare. April 27 Glenn Ward on space age reading. May 4 E. Carl Green on exploring literature. May 11 Gerald Grove on introduction to fiction.

With this letter we feel that all the good that can be has been derived from this discussion. This Will be the last letter printed unless something new comes to light. Wf Ull' -L. Mill Ml MUUtyiV tiiJLVi AW vw. I will nresent this naner to the reader.

Before using the prerogative of opinionating on any issue next year," Jack commented at a recent staff meeting. wo will stnrlv all sides nf an issue an attemnt to nresent. "We want to make people more aware of what Weber State College has to offer the community, and give faculty and students tha experience of participating on television." These are the goals of the TV campus programming on Channel 9, KOET in Ogden, as expressed by Benjamin Noid, head of the speech and drama department. There are two campus series in the channel programming, both of which appear on Monday nights. A naif-hour presentation representing the Humanities Division of WSC is aired at 7:30 p.m.; and, at 9 p.m., a half -hour program is presented by the Physical Education Division.

The humanities program is set up as an exploration of the various departments (art, music, etc.) conducted on an interview basis with demonstrations, films, and guest speakers. The physical education program is presented in much the same way; there is stress placed on current activities and exploration of divisions such as modern dance and swimming-. Professor Noid, producer for the series, stated that some 30 programs have appeared on the TV station this year involving approximately 30 WSC students and 20-25 WSC faculty members. He stated that two of the main objectives of the series was to give more students an experience in television and to possibly enhance interest in the TV field, and induce growth in the campus programming. Although application Staff Editor Gene Patterson, a freshman journalism major from Ogden, has the responsibility of organizing the inside pages of the paper, excluding sports and New Staff in as little time and space as possible, the whole story.

The Letters to the Editor section of this paper will be for the' use of students and interested persbns who wish to express their opinions; whether in harmony with the Signpost opinion or not. However, it will be expected that these opinions and views will be in student interest and written in good taste and for a constructive purpose. One of the responsibilities of education is to teach critical but constructive evaluation of those things taught. We sincerely hope that the Signpost will be a contributing factor to the education of the students who read it and take the time to become aware of those issues that appear here. In this connection, we hope that all issues that escape our attention or are of interest to the student body will be brought to our attention.

(Continued from Pg. 1, Col. 1) The Associate Editor of the paper is Jack Suttlemyre. He is a public relations journalism major in his freshman year at Weber-Jack is the only married member of the staff and is the father of two children. He plans to transfer to Brigham Young University to complete his studies.

"I feel the Signpost will have an increased role informing the students as we move to on-camspus housing Coming from a long lineage of journalism people is Camille Ramnarace, the Managing Editor, Camille is a foreign student coming to Weber State from Port of Spain, Trinidad. Once again we have the services of a freshman journalism major. We will continue to introduce the new Signpost Staff in next week's issue. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS ARMS AND THE MAN George Bernard Shaw's play, "Arms and the was cleverly portrayed by a cast under the direction of Benjamin Noid. One feels that the players portrayed the parts the way that Shaw intended good, sincere comedy.

This fine cast should be congratulated on all the hard work that went into this production. Not only were they required to learn their parts, but they also built the props, which included a bed that folded up to the size of a suitcase. Much experience was gained from this by the students in preparation for the theater arts. SSaiPflVT STAFF Utah Power Chief Sets Campus Talk Edward M.
