Show 30- The guidance plan is simple and direct. The instructor of the student's class helps in problems related to a particular class. From a student's instructors in his major field he may choose one faculty member as his adviser. This adviser will assist in most problems of registration, academic progress, and in personal and social matters. The Dean of Men, as chairman of guidance services, will assist in any problems of student welfare; particularly as Dean of Men, will he advise the men. The Dean of Women is available to help the women, who upon request desire such service. Others who will advise are the Division chairmen who are administrative heads in major fields of instruction, and the President of the College, whose office is open to students during most of the day. The student may find that he has chosen unwisely or he may feel the need for more precise estimate of his abilities and interests. Each major field has its own battery of tests available to each student. They vary in different major fields. Included are pre-achievement, personality, interest, aptitude and ability tests. Most tests are given by The Testing Bureau in charge of a faculty officer who has regularly scheduled hours. The Orientation class, which every student should take for credit as soon as possible after entering the College, is designed to answer many questions the individual will have. Included are such units as the use of the library, how-to-study techniques, personality development, vocational and interest tests, college adjustment, aptitude measures, psychological aptitude tests, and others. The orientation class is part of the guidance program. A pre-registration period of counseling and testing is available with tests to assist a student in his choice of a vocation, and in his selection of a major field. The demand for trained men and women as related to their supply is a big factor in the counseling of students. College is the place for learning to live a good life and to earn a good living. Certain clinics are optional for students who need special help in reading problems, writing, in health matters, and in beauty problems. In these clinics, which are conducted by trained personnel, a student may receive invaluable suggestions and remedial work, if he desires. Every problem a student faces may have been met and solved before. An answer to the worst problems he has may be available for the asking if he chooses to seek advice from his adviser or his dean whom he may approve. Finances, health, housing, academic, personal, and marital problems are being met every day. When a student recognizes that he has a problem, the battle is already half won. The Weber College Veterans Guidance Center, staffed by the College Veterans Coordinator, as well as training officers of the Veterans Administration, assists veterans with their special problems involved in registering and training under the G. I. Bill of Bights. Returning veterans who expect to enter the College under the G. I. Education Program are encouraged to take advantage of the veterans service at Weber College or to apply for the advisement at the Veterans Guidance Center. 31 The Health Service The Health Service of the College provides protective and educative benefits for every student. The aims of this "service are: 1. To give a medical examination (regarded as a screening rather than a diagnostic examination) to every student upon his initial registration in the College. 2. To give special attention to a student in need of medical and dental care through a follow-up program which, if necessary, will guide a student and his parents to sources of medical and dental treatment. 3. To take care of accidents and sudden illnesses occurring at the College. 4. To provide opportunity for conferences and consultations with a physician. 5. To re-examine, at reasonable intervals, a student with physical defects. 6. To initiate protective measures against the spread of disease. Medical treatment and diagnosis are the responsibility of the home and the community. 7. To provide a healthful environment for student life. The Housing Service An important factor in a student's success in accomplishing the programs he elects to follow lies in the environment in which he studies and finds his recreation; in his personal living quarters as well as in his school. The College provides services for personal housing as follows: 1. Supervisory services of the Dean of Women and the Dean of Men for all living arrangements of out-of-town students. 2. A dormitory for men which offers board and room ranging in cost from $35 to $45 monthly. 3. Information regarding board and room and light housekeeping in private homes in the City.
