College Attitude: A student enters college through choice rather than by law requirement. He is arriving at the age of maturity where good judgment and ability to make wise choices are most desirable. For these reasons he is given considerably more freedom than he has had in the past. Numerous rules and regulations governing this new degree of freedom are purposely omitted. It is presumed that college students are capable of acting as men and women. The vast majority of the students demonstrate their abilities to profit by these liberties. It is only the few who ostracize themselves because of their immature judgments. Eligibility Eligibility rules apply to all students who participate in competitive activities. Special rules apply to all members of social and service clubs. In order to be eligible to represent the College in any competitive activity, the student must: (1) be graduated from a standard high school or have fifteen units of high school work, or meet entrance requirements by passing USAFI tests: (2) be registered for at least ten hours of college work; and (3) have passed ten hours of college work, or its equivalent, during the last quarter of attendance. Eligibility for social and service clubs is maintained according to the regulations of the Inter-club Council; namely, the student must: (1) be registered for ten hours of college work, or its equivalent in the terminal courses; and (2) have a grade point of 1.0 in all work during the last quarter of attendance. Eligibility must be affirmed twice during the quarter; namely, after the fourth and eighth weeks, or oftener, if the director of the activity so desires. If a student is not passing in ten hours of college work, or its equivalent in the terminal courses, he is placed on robation for two weeks. If at the end of the probationary period, work 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 in either 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. 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 room 100, West Central 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.
