students and employers of the Weber State College area. This program is designed to teach occupational skills on the job and to offer theoretical and technical instruction in the classroom. Much of the off-campus program consists of courses in industrial management on three levels: Supervisory, Junior Executive, and Senior Executive. The courses are designed to assist the individual to function more efficiently in his present position and to prepare him for advancement. As a four-year state college, Weber invites graduates from junior colleges and area schools throughout Utah. It will continue, of course, to serve its former community area comprising Box Elder, Davis, Morgan, and Weber counties. Objectives of The College The College strives to develop the following in its graduates: 1. A wholesome philosophy of life. A college education should concern itself not with the intellect alone, but should embrace both ethical and spiritual development. 2. Active and enlightened citizenship. Graduates are expected to participate in community, state, and national affairs as well as to understand other peoples and cultures. 3. Personal, physical, and mental health, and a desire to cooperate actively in solving community health and welfare problems. 4. The ability to read, write, speak, and listen effectively. 5. A progressive desire for continuous learning. 6. A capacity for critical thinking about problems and for discrimination among values. 7. The desire and the capacity for successful family living. 8. Satisfactory emotional stability: the ability to adjust to change, to understand oneself, and to participate socially with others. 9. An understanding of the common phenomena of the physical environment and an appreciation of the implications for human welfare of scientific discoveries. 10. An understanding and enjoyment of literature, art, music, and other cultural activities, and the ability to participate in some form of expressive or creative activity. 11. Basic mathematical and mechanical skills necessary in everyday life. 12. The ability to choose a suitable vocation and training leading toward an occupation which will support an acceptable standard of living. 24 IMPLEMENTATION OF OBJECTIVES The College tries to implement these objectives through a wide variety of organizations and activities. Each academic division, for example, embodies them in both its curricular and extra-curricular activities. The latter especially offer a wealth of opportunity for social and cultural development. Other organizations include the student government, the various student-sponsored organizations, and the Student Union. These organizations offer experience in voting, running for office, holding elective and appointive offices, and representing campus organizations and functions. Many student groups are planned and sponsored by the student-body. For example, there are many professional and honorary organizations such as the Education Club, the Engineers Club, the Geodiscipulus Club, the Musettes, the Madrigal Singers, Voce Coeds, the Sociology Club, the Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society, the Home Economics Club, the Phi Rho Pi Chapter, a national forensic fraternity for students in debate and speech, the International Relations Club, and the Gleemen's Club. The service clubs include Whip, Sophomore and advanced women who promote school spirit and support school activities. Social clubs include Excelsior, Phoenix, and Sigma Delta Pi for men; La Dianaeda, Otyokwa, Sharmea, and Takai Kyoto for women. The Weber State College Union was built to provide a suitable place for out-of-class activities. Its several committees help promote luncheons, dances, games, meetings, musicals, concerts, hobbies, movies, and dramatic presentations. Other important activities are those department-sponsored events contributing significantly to the educational development of all students. The Departments of Art, Business, English, and Photography plan and sponsor student publications. The Department of English Language and Literature and the Department of Speech and Drama plan and sponsor student publications, debating, extempore and impromptu speaking, oratory, interpretative speech, drama, and radio.
