Show Administration and Organization Administration and Organisation Student government is organized according to the Constitution of the Associated Students of Weber State College. It functions through a legislative branch, an executive branch, and a judicial branch. The student government formulates measures necessary to implement the provisions of the constitution, such as the management of the student budget, the appointment of committees, the conducting of elections, the initiation of a program of out-of-class activities, and the coordination of Union Building policies. The Weber State College Union Policy Board consists of members of the College administration, student government, and alumni. This board establishes policies for the use of the College Union. The Union Director and his staff are responsible for the administration of the Union. The Inter-Fraternal Council, which includes the Dean of Women, the Dean of Men, and representatives from each fraternity or sorority, supervises and controls all fraternal activities. The social clubs, fraternities, and sororities at Weber State College are local organizations and are not affiliated with national groups. The Weber State College Development Fund Board, which promotes financial support to the College, includes representatives from the Board of Trustees, the Board of Directors of the Weber State College Alumni Association, the faculty, and the community directs the activities of the development fund. The Development Fund Board appoints a Director to administer the policies of the board. The Weber State College Alumni Association functions through a Board of Directors elected by the members of the Alumni Association. The chairman of this board serves as an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees of the College. Advisory committees from the professions, businesses, trades, and industries assist the college in matters pertaining to courses and curricula to meet the needs of businesses, professions, trades, and industries. Each committee is an integral part of the organization of an occupational course or curriculum. President's Message The school year 1967-68 will be one of great importance in the history of Weber State College. During the year the college will be involved in the greatest campus expansion program in its history. The $4,000,000 Science Building, which was begun during the past year, will be under construction. A $2,000,000 addition to the Union Building and a $2,000,000 student residence hall should be under construction before the beginning of the year. Early in the 1967-68 school year the $1,000,000 Administration Building, the $450,000 Maintenance Building, and the classroom facilities for Education, Business, Humanities and Social Science, costing more than $4,000,000 should be under construction. When these buildings are completed all departments of the college will have good facilities, but by then the projected enrollment of the college will require a continued building program in the years following. The 1967-68 school year will be under a new administrative and academic organization. The former eight academic divisions will be replaced by the School of Arts, Letters and Science, the School of Business, the School of Education, and the School of Technology and Trade Technical Education. The positions of Administrative Vice President, Academic Vice President, and Business Vice President will be used for the first time. These changes in physical facilities and changes in organization will make it possible for the college to accept the added challenges and responsibilities of a senior institution in serving more students in more effective ways. The faculty will number more than 300 during the year. The success of Weber graduates when they enter employment or continue for advanced degrees attests to the excellent quality of the members of the faculty. These faculty members have advanced degrees from the leading universities of the country and from some foreign countries. They offer to the students a high quality of educational opportunities. This catalog has been re-organized to reflect the new organization and the course offerings for the 1967-68 school year. I trust that those who attend will take full advantage of their opportunities to prepare themselves more fully to live successfully in our rapidly changing society. William P. Miller President 10 11 |
