THE SERVICES To make the offerings of the curriculum and the facilities of the College available, the institution maintains a program of services, which provides for its students' admissions and graduations, scholastic regulations, guidance, health, housing, cafeteria and fountain service, instruction (including library service, museum collections and visual materials), books and supplies, financial aid, placement and follow-up. Telephone, mail, stenographic and stores services are supplied more particularly for student and faculty staff. The program also provides advisory and supervisory services for students' out-of-class activities and their off-campus training. THE ADMINISTRATION To direct the in-class instruction, the out-of-class activities, the off-campus training, and the services of the institution, the College uses the following officers and administrative organizations in which the State, the faculty, students, and community are represented. The Utah State Board of Education headed by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, as chairman, acts upon the recommendations submitted by the President of Weber College. The President of Weber College is the administrator of the College responsible to the State Board and the community for the educational and financial management of the institution. The following officers and staff of the College are responsible to the President for the administration of curriculum and services: The Dean of Faculty, the Chairmen of Divisions, The Librarian, The Dean of Men, The Dean of Women, The Registrar, The Treasurer, and the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. They also make up the Administrative Advisory Council that serves the President in an advisory capacity. The President of the Weber College Faculty Association, organized to foster professional interests and to cooperate with the U. E. A. and N. E. A., also is a member of the Council. Administrative Committees, appointed by the President, have both student and faculty representatives as follows: Admissions, Credits and Graduation; Buildings and Campus Planning; Catalogue; Library; Student Aid and Employment; Student Guidance; Summer Session and extension Division, Assemblies; Athletics; Awards, Scholarships, Eligibil- 19 ity; Lecture and Concert Series; Publicity; Standards; and Student Activities have student representatives appointed by the Student Board of Control. The Board of Control, the executive body of student government, includes faculty representatives as follows: Student body executive officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Business Manager, Sophomore Class President, and two elective representatives from the Sophomore Class; Freshman Class President, and two elective representatives from the Freshman Class; a member of the Weber College Faculty named by the President of the College, and a faculty member named by the Board of Control. The College Treasurer is an ex-officio member. These are voting members. The membership may be increased to include such appointive officers without the power to vote as may be determined by the Board. Appointive officers of the A. S. W. C. are the staff of student publications, manager of athletics, cheerleaders, and such others as may be determined by the Board. The Board Administers such measures as are necessary and proper to put into operation the provisions of the constitution of the Associated Students of Weber College. Some of these are: the appointment of committees, designation of certain staff officers, and initiation of a program of student activities, such as dances, parties, and assemblies. Student-sponsored activities, including professional clubs, honorary clubs, and social clubs, are governed by officers, and subject to the regulations developed by each group in which there is faculty advisory representation. The Inter-club Council, including representatives from each social club, the Dean of Women, and the Dean of Men, supervises and controls all club activities. Community organizations, such as the following, assist the administration of Weber College: Advisory committees, made up of representatives of business, trades, and industries advise College officials in matters pertaining to courses, labor problems, legislation, and procedures. In vocational education there is an advisory committee that acts as an integral part of the organization of each occupational curriculum. The Weber College Development Fund Committee, composed of representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, of labor, of veterans, and of school administrators and other community members, assisted by organizations and individuals, recently raised more than $60,000 which with the appropriation of $50,000 from the State made possible the purchase of the new campus. This group continues to collect funds and to advise in the planning of the future Weber College. The Chamber of Commerce Standing Committee actively and substantially initiates and supports projects for the College. Clubs and organizations, churches, schools, and homes, that have served in the interest of the new and old campuses, also are responsible for establishing and maintaining annual scholarships, awards and loan funds, and contributing immeasurably at all times by keeping the College aware of the needs of the community. The Weber College Alumni, which serves especially by keeping the College in touch with its graduates, has worked also to secure properties and facilities for the present and future campus. |
