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 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 have several major questions that 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. 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; particulary as Dean of Men, will he advise the men. The Dean of Wbmen 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 a course of study or he may feel the need for a 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-achieve- ment, 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. 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. 31 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. Personal assistance for student problems is available for the asking. 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, assists veterans with their special problems involved in registering and training under the G. I. Bill of Rights. 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 hi* school.
