students and employers of the Weber State College area. This program is designed to teach occupational skills on the job and to offer theoretical and technical instruction in the classroom. Much of the off-campus program consists of courses in industrial management on three levels: Supervisory, Junior Executive, and Senior Executive. The courses are designed to assist the individual to function more efficiently in his present position and to prepare him for advancement. As a four-year state college, Weber invites graduates from junior colleges and area schools throughout Utah. It will continue, of course, to serve its former community area comprising Box Elder, Davis, Morgan, and Weber counties. Objectives of The College The Utah Legislature, in 1959, authorized Weber College to expand from a junior college to a senior college. In keeping with this new assignment, the 1963 Utah Legislature changed the name to Weber State College. Utah statutes provide the Weber State College is charged with the responsibility of providing higher education "in the fields of the sciences and arts as may promote the liberal and practical education of students attending." The academic objectives of the College are to offer the first two years of college work in a wide variety of subjects, and, in addition, to offer work leading to the bachelor degree in the four areas of arts and sciences, business, education, and technology. In addition, the College strives to develop the following in its graduates: 1. A wholesome philosophy of life including: not only intellectual attainments but development of ethical and spiritual values and the ability to discriminate among values; the desire for successful family living and continuous growth and learning leading to the full realization of individual potential. 2. Active and enlightened citizenship. Graduates should attempt to develop an understanding of the complex problems and great decisions of our time and expect to participate in community, state, and national affairs. 3. Satisfactory physical and mental health, emotional stability, the ability to adjust to change and to get along with other people. 4. Communication, mathematical and mechanical skills necessary in everyday living and in the pursuit of learning. 5. An understanding of principles basic to the physical 24 and biological sciences, the scientific method, and of application to human welfare. 6. An understanding and appreciation of literature, art, music, and other cultural activities, and the ability to participate in some form of expressive or creative activity. 7. The ability to pursue successfully a vocation which will provide an acceptable standard of living and contribute to the welfare of society. IMPLEMENTATION OF OBJECTIVES The College tries to implement these objectives through a wide variety of organizations and activities. Each academic division, for example, embodies them in both its curricular and extra-curricular activities. The latter especially offer a wealth of opportunity for social and cultural development. Other organizations include the student government, the various student-sponsored organizations, and the Student Union. These organizations offer experience in voting, running'for office, holding elective and appointive offices, and representing campus organizations and functions. Many student groups are planned and sponsored by the student-body. For example, there are many professional and honorary organizations such as the Education Club, the Engineers Club, the Geodiscipulus Club, the Musettes, the Weber State Singers, Voce Coeds, the Sociology Club, the Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society, the Home Economics Club, the Phi Rho Pi Chapter, a national forensic fraternity for students in debate and speech, the International Relations Club, the Gleemen's Club, the Westerners (Rodeo Club), a student chapter of American Society of Tool and Manufacturing Engineers, the Physical Education Majors and Minors Club, the Student Association for Free Enterprise, a Literature Club, a Young Democrats Club and a Young Republicans Club. The service clubs include Whip for women students, and Circle K and Blue Key for men. Social clubs include Excelsior, Phoenix, and Sigma Delta Pi for men; La Dianaeda, Otyokwa, Sharmea, and Takai Kyoto for women. The Weber State College Union was built to provide a suitable place for out-of-class activities. Its several committees help promote luncheons, dances, games, meetings, musicals, concerts, hobbies, movies, and dramatic presentations. 25
