Weber's family members have an important voice in determining the governing policies of the college Government is necessary and proper in all things. Its importance is especially great in our American way of life. Our national government delegates authority and responsibility to selected individuals for the direction of the affairs of our nation in such a manner that the interests of all individuals will be met. The family unit also has a form of organization, which is designed to meet the demands of each family member. The father as head of the household is similar to our President. His family delegates him authority, and he in turn tries to guide each member in a well organized path. There are understood and also written rules and regulations. Responsibilities are divided so that jobs are done as efficiently as possible. Each member feels a part of the family because he is an indispensable individual in the functioning of that institution. Our Weber College family, too, has a government. We students are part of it and are represented by it. The administration acts as the main governing body, but some authority is also delegated to the students. In order to provide students with an opportunity to govern themselves, we have a student government composed of members of the studentbody, elected by the studentbody It is part of our American heritage to participate in governing functions, and at Weber we feel this is important. We realize that this helps to form a democratic spirit and gives valuable leadership experience that can be used throughout life. The major divisions of our student government which carry out the democratic processes here at Weber are: the Board of Control, the officers of the Associated Women Students and of the Associated Men Students, student body officers, sophomore and freshman class officers, and various auxiliary student committees and councils. The Board of Control, composed of student and faculty representatives, meets regularly to discuss pertinent campus issues, such as traffic regulations and smoking in the Union.
