Show 38 is not made up to satisfactory level, the student is declared ineligible for the quarter. Social and service club members who have failed the previous quarter to maintain a 1.0 grade point in all work are declared ineligible during the current quarter. Weber College aims to keep the individual working at his maximum capacity as well as to maintain wholesome standards for those in competition. The Guidance Committee may advise that students of exceptional ability who are not showing a commendable attitude toward their work be declared ineligible in spite of the fact that these students are living up to the letter of the eligibility rules. The Eligibility Committee has the power to waive these rules in special cases upon recommendation of the Administration or of the Guidance Committee. In inter-school athletics, however participants are bound by the regulations of the Intermountain Junior College Athletic Conference. Instructors in charge of an activity must file the names of their candidates for the activity two weeks before active competition begins. Directors of the opera, drama, the College paper, the College magazine, and the yearbook shall file their list of participants before any position, part, or office is officially given. In case of an opera, or a College play, eligibility extends throughout the full duration of the production. In all other cases, eligibility must be affirmed at the end of the fourth and eighth week period as stated above. Student Liability Weber College is not in any way liable for an athlete's injuries or illnesses that result from participation in the activities sponsored by the College. It is assumed that one who engages in athletics has received permission from parent or guardian to participate and to accept full responsibility. The College is not in any way liable for student injuries which may result from activities on field trips, in shop or laboratory class work. Students are required and so instructed to request specific operational information before proceeding with the use of equipment. THE GUIDANCE SERVICE The College recognizes that the college student is a mature individual who desires as independent a college life as possible, with a minimum of advisory help from anyone; however, he will want to have answered, such as the following: 1. What profession or vocation should I choose? 2. What are my real interests, aptitudes and abilities? 3. How can I answer or solve some of the social, personal, or academic problems that I have now? The Guidance Service is streamlined to help the student answer these questions that are serious and of much importance as he nears his post-college, adult life. 39 The guidance plan is direct. The student will receive help at registration from a faculty member. A student in any class can obtain help from the instructor in that class. The student is also welcome to see the department heads, division chairmen, the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, the Dean of Faculty or the President. Every faculty member and administrative officer has office hours for this purpose. The Dean of Men, as chairman of the guidance services, will help on any problems of student welfare. The Dean of Women is available to help the women who desire such service. The Guidance Center is located in the Administration Building. Six faculty members are available for confidential interviews. Also, a very modern and useful testing service is available upon request. All test results are held confidential. Each major field has its own unique battery of tests. Included are achievement, personality, interest, aptitude and ability tests. Reading clinic services and grammar clinic services are available to all students who wish to increase proficiency in either of these essential skills for academic achievement. Arrangement for obtaining assistance from either clinic may be obtained by contacting the faculty members assigned to the clinics. 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. 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. Personal assistance is also available for such problems as finances, health and housing as well as for academic, personal and marital difficulties. The Weber College Veterans Guidance Center, staffed by the College Veterans Coordinator, assists veterans with their special problems involved in registering and training under the G. I. Bill of Rights. |
