THE CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS OGDEN LDS INSTITUTE OF RELIGION When you reach within yourself you'll find a well of love divine. The power to serve, to lift, to give; for others your life live. (Chorus) When you reach out to the someone who needs to be touched by you, You'll feel your light begin to flow as you watch each other grow. (Chorus) When you reach to Father with your heart, his blessings he'll impart, If you'll but reach and faithful stand, He'll reach and take your hand.

The LDSSA chose the theme "REACH" for the 1981-82 year. Under the guidance of faculty advisors and the student leadership headed by Steve Brown, the Institute reached out to touch the lives of the student at Weber St College. Excellent classroom instruction and the Horizons lecture series, along with the variety of activies sponsored by various LDSSA committees provided growth and great times to those participating. The fifteen committees were each involved in a different aspect of the LDSSA. The High School Relations worked with current High School seniors, sponsoring Freshman Orientation, and the annual Un-Party held at Lagoon. Organizing ports activities within LDSSA - such as basketball, softball, volleyball and racquetball tournaments - was the responsibility of the Sports Committee. They also worked with the Weber State College intramural program on campus. The Gospel in Action Committee, a service oriented group, was involved in many service projects throughout the year, including extensive work with the Blind school, Deaf school and hospitals. The Religious Programs Committee was involved in public relations for the LDSSA. They participated in church meetings and functions throughout the valley promoting a positive public image of the Institute. The Institute newspaper, Focus, was organized completely by the students; using writers, photographers, typists, layout artists and business managers to provide accurate coverage of LDSSA activities. Institute registration was the responsibility of the Registration Committee. They met the challenge with themes and activities like the all out M*A*S*H campaign held during spring quarter. The Friday night activities were taken care of by the Good Times Committee. Some events that took place included Cowboy Night, roller-skating, the Spring Formal and activities that were correlated with the campus. The Publicity Committee had the job of letting students know about all the different things that went on at the Institute. They used skills such as lettering, postermaking, artwork, graphics and public relations. Students on the Cultural Arts Committee developed and shared their individual talents in the areas of music, drama and dance. Within this committee were groups such as the Chorale, small ensembles, folk dancers and specialized arts. They performed in the Christmas spectacular, "The True Meaning of Christmas," and had a successful tour this spring presenting "Worthy of Tribute." The Missionary Committee was concerned with the progress of the Missionary program at Weber State and at the Institute. They were in charge of most of the firesides sponsored by the Institute. The correlation of Institute and campus activities was the responsibility of the Campus Involvement Committee. The L.D.S. sponsored fraternity on campus, Sigma Gamma Chi, provided young men with the opportunity to effectively balance school and the ideals they have chosen to live up to. Lambda Delta Sigma, the L.D.S. sponsored sorority, provided young woman with the opportunity for sisterhood and growth. Through these committees the LDSSA was more effectively able to REACH students at Weber State College.
