The activities are open to all students who qualify and make proper application. Special contests established by patrons of the College encourage individual and group participation. Student Publication. The College yearbook is The Acorn. Participation in this activity gives students two kinds of experience: editorial and business. Editorial work consists of planning the book, arrangeing art designs, pictures, cover and format generally, of writing resumes of the year's activities, and of copy and proof reading. Business involves making contracts for photography, printing and engraving, soliciting, advertising and selling. The Weber College Signpost is the student body newspaper. It is a bi-monthly tabloid written and edited by the students of English 6, 7, and 8, although any member of the student body may become a staff member by application and regular contribution. Scribulus, the college quarterly, serves a three-fold purpose: first, it provides practical periodical experience for those whose primary interests are in creative work; second, it stimulates the student body generally in self-expression; and third, it gives more utilitarian purpose to class exercises in composition. The W. C. Handybook is the official handbook of ready information prepared by a sophomore staff as a convenient guide to the college lifeits administration, activities, songs, cheers, and directory.

Participation in three inter-college debates or discussions makes a student eligible for membership in the Utah Alpha Chapter of Phi Rho Pi, national honorary debating society. The Weber College Debate and Speech Tournament for high schools in the Intermountain Region is sponsored by the Department of English and Speech every year. 69 Extempore Speaking. Public speaking at Weber College is promoted not only in speech classes but in basic communication courses as well. Such efforts find their highest expression in contest speaking, both on the campus and in meets with other colleges. Conspicuous among the intramural efforts in speech is the annual James L. Barker Contest in extempore speaking. Oration. A major inter-collegiate oratorical contest on the subject of "Americanism," is sponsored by the Sons of the American Revolution each year in the interest of promoting American ideals. The Sons of the American Revolution provide a gold medal for the winner of the contest. Students who distinguish themselves in intramural contests may qualify for contests held with other colleges. Such contests include: debating, extempore and impromptu speech, oratory, interpretative speech, poetry reading, acting, radio speech, and after-dinner speaking. Students who meet the requirements may achieve membership in the Utah Alpha Chapter of Phi Rho Pi, a national honorary forensic society. Play Production. Play production at Weber College is fostered in two ways: First, through a joint effort between the college and the community known as Ogden Community-Weber College Theater. Management of this enterprise centers in a Board of Directors composed of members of the College staff and the Associated Students as well as from the community at large. Second, through an exclusively departmental enterprise known as Theater Workshop. This group produces annually a varied series of both one-act and full-length plays. Productions of this group are done as Arena Theater as well as in the regular manner on the main stage. Through alliance with the community and through the Arena Theater series of plays, students are given an exceptional opportunity at Weber College for enjoyment of drama and for participation in the various phases of play production and in little theater organization and management.
