40 MILITARY TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE IN OGDEN 1. Draft Deferment as a student. A. Statutory deferment for one yearEvery student is deferred to complete the school year in which he receives orders to report for induction. He must be enrolled in school at the time he receives these orders. By attending summer school most students can be sure to be into their sophomore year before their turn to receive orders comes up thus, graduation from Weber College is assured before military service is necessary. B. Additional defermentsFurther deferment is on an individual basis for anyone whose course of study will help maintain the "national health, safety, or interest." Worthy students in all phases of learning are kept in school; the country needs scientific and cultural, as well as military strength. To qualify for this further deferment, a student needs to complete the academic year of his statutory deferment in the upper half of his class, or obtain a score of 70 or more in the Selective Service college aptitude examination and be accepted for further schooling. The Draft Board can thereafter, at its discretion, defer the student during the remainder of his college study. 2. Deferment as an Officer Candidate. There are two officer candidate programs, Marine Platoon Leaders Class and the Navy Reserve Officer Corps, available to students at Weber College that are similar to the R.O.T.C. programs; these allow a student to obtain his college degree before entering the officer training program. Enrollment in the Air Force R.O.T.C. at another college is open to junior college transfers and graduates. Thus, qualified students who do not succeed in getting student deferments to complete their course of study can, if they desire, transfer into such an R.O.T.C. program. Entry into the Army and Navy, R.O.T.C. program is possible at the end of the Freshman year at Weber. 3. Deferment in the National Guard. One who joins a National Guard, Army, or Air Force unit before he turns 18 and one-half years of age will be free from the draft. He is required to attend drill weekly and is subject to call whenever the National Guard is activated; otherwise, however, he is free to pursue his schooling uninterrupted. 4. Army and Navy Organized Reserve Units. There are openings in the organized reserve units in the local Navy and Army units. Participation in these programs, however, does not give deferment from the draft to those who joined after July 1, 1951. There are some advantages, however, to a young man who enlists via the organized reserve system rather than be drafted or enlisted into the armed forces. 5. Attractive enlistment opportunities in the Air Force are open for those with two years of college. 41 THE HEALTH SERVICE The Health Service of the College provides protective and educative benefits for every student. The responsibility for the program is assigned to the Chairman of the Division of Health and Physical Education with the assistance of the School Pyhsician, the School Nurse, the Dean of Men, and the Dean of Women. Any student seeking solution to health problems, is welcome to confer with any of these officials. The following services are available to the students of Weber College: 1. A medical examination (regarded as a screening rather than a diagostic examination) to every student upon his initial registration in the college. 2. Special attention to students in need of medical or dental care through a follow-up program which, if necessary, will guide students or their parents to sources of medical and dental treatment. 3. Emergency care for accidents and sudden illnesses occuring at the college. 4. Health conferences and consultations with the School Physician on any major health problem. 5. Re-examinations, at reasonable intervals, for students with physical defects. 6. Protective measures against the spread of disease. Medical treatment and diagnosis are the responsibility of the home and the community. 7. Maintenance of 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 his school. The College provides services for personal housing as follows: 1. Supervisory services of the Dean of Women and the Dean of Men for all living arrangements of out-of-town students. 2. Bertha Eccles Hall is open to all women students of the college who are in full-time enrollment. Linen and bedding are furnished by the College. (Cost, $15.00 per month). 3. Information regarding board and room and light housekeeping in private homes in the City.
