In 1947 Weber College Student Government consisted of a Board of Control. The function of the board was to promote the schools interest, uphold the constitution and give interpretation of the same. The student body president, vice president, business manager, and secretary were members of the Board of Control along with four other students. Two faculty members also served on this board. Other college committees included the assembly committee, activities, A.M.S. (Associated Men Students), A.W.S. (Associated Women Students), and Womens Athletic Association. It should be noted that most of the campus activities were sponsored by the Activities Committee, but the A.M.S. and the A.W.S. sponsored activities which also included all students. The following statement concerning the activities is worthy of note: The Activities Committee included the more responsible persons organizing the rah-rah boom-boom sizzles of pep rallies supporting our intensive year of athletic enterprises. The Dean of Women in 1947 was Mae Welling and William Stratford was Dean of Men. These people taught as well as filled these positions, and they were the moving force for many activities including the Mothers Tea, the Recognition Banquet, and Webers Annual Outing which included such strenuous activities as a tug-of-war. Most activities were of social nature. Many dances were held and most were conducted in an orderly and proper manner; however, there were some which were spiced up by the more active students on campus. Mrs. Clarisse Hall, Registrar, was the one person most frequently sought when principles of protocol and manners needed interpretation. No doubt many students of this era look back with a positive attitude to this training that was received as a rewarding part of their education. Other activities were sponsored by the campus social clubs. An inter-club council regulated, supervised, and promoted these activities. The Dean of Women served as advisor to this council. One of our present state senators, Wynn Richards, served on this council. Some of the goals of the inter-club council were to gain a well rounded college life socially and scholastically; to promote citizenship, to promote student government, to encourage student activities which promote a genuine fraternal feeling, good fellowship, grace, poise; to encourage the living of a wise life, to increase participation in outdoor activities and good sportsmanship. One of the activities sponsored was the election of Mr. and Mrs. Collegiate for spring promenade. Others culminated in dances for all students and included the selection of queens such as Orchid, Football, Snowball, Friendliest Girl, Calico, Milk Maid, Weber Sweetheart, and Miss Collegiate. Sadie Hawkins day was sponsored by one of the womens clubs. The girls were appropriately dressed as Sadie Hawkins for the occasion and climaxed the event on the quad by chasing and hopefully catching a favorite boyfriend. Although facilities were limited, activities were plentiful. Such notables as Laurence Burton, Rulon Garfield and Dean Hurst served on the Assemblies Committee. Outside guests were brought to the campus, and many of the programs and activities were part of the changing times that the college experienced. Under the direction of President Dixon, a campaign was initi-ated to acquire a new campus that would adequately accommodate the now growing junior college. Through the efforts of President Dixon and President Miller, a new campus was purchased and the move was made to this site on Harrison Boulevard. On the new campus, the facilities for the bookstore and cafeteria were located in Building One. These were housed in a classroom approximately 24 feet by 24 feet adjacent to another classroom about two times as large. The two rooms were divided by a modern fold door. Classes were held in the large room except during the noon period. At this time, the modern fold door was opened and the classroom served as a cafeteria. Sandwiches were made by the Home Economics Department under the direction of Margaret Jacobs and were carried from Building Three to Building One and sold to the students. This was the first center of activity on the new and growing campus. President Miller and the administration soon saw that changes needed to take place and that more space was needed in order to function properly. The old C.I. was the answer. It was determined that the building could be moved for about 15,000, and the old C.I. was moved to a location east of Building Four. The complete C.I. building was assigned to the bookstore, cafeteria, and the offices on the north end were assigned to student government. To the best of my knowledge, this was the first time student government had been given space to conduct the affairs of their office. A significant transition now took place because of the move of the old C.I. The student officers began to feel slightly more independent and somewhat removed from the administration. The student body was growing and the administration of the College was finding less time to spend with student government. The duties of the Dean of Men and Dean of Women increased, including the responsibility for student government. At the time the old C.I. was moved, James R. Foulger made the following statement, There is nothing as permanent as a temporary building, plan to be in this one fifteen years. Time proved him right. The building served for fifteen years before it was demolished to make room for the new Technical Building. Another significant change took place that was to change the nature of the activities at Weber College. A bill was passed during the 1958-1959 Legislature to allow Weber to become a four-year institution. The first senior college classes were to begin in 1962 and the first graduates from the full four-year program were to receive diplomas in 1964. Of this occasion President Miller said: Weber State faces the greatest opportunity ever given a Utah educational institution in this century. The degree to which this opportunity will be realized will depend upon the planning and decisions made during the next two years, we hope we will plan wisely for the welfare of the thousands of young people who will attend Weber in the years ahead. The stage had been set, and this was the real beginning for a number of changes in student government and student activities. Although student government consisted of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and business manager, their actions became more valid. Student government was organized under the following headings: the Board of Control,
