Join an Officer Candidate Program. 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. He must be a member of the reserve. The options indicated above are subject to change; there-fore, students should contact the Dean of Students for current information. Attractive enlistment opportunities in the Armed Forces are open for those with two years of college.

HEALTH SERVICE, POLICIES, AND PROCEDURES FOR PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS The Health Service of Weber College has been established for the education and protection of students. The services offered are: (1) medical examination, (2) follow up for the correction of remediable defects, and (3) adequate care in case of accidents and sudden illness. A medical examination is required of every student upon his initial entrance to Weber College. Registration cannot be completed until he has filed a completed medical examination report on the official form. The College physician shall outline and administer the physical examination with the aid of the school nurse, the chairman of the health and physical education division, and others whom he may need. A student may have the medical examination given at the regularly scheduled time by the college physician or he may, at his own expense, have his family physician give the examination and record it on the Weber College Medical Examination Record Card. The school physician will evaluate the results of all medical examinations for the guidance and protection of the students and the college. The College physician shall be the final judge of a student's physical fitness for participating in activities and for using college facilities. HOUSING SERVICE An important factor in student success at college lies in adequate study and recreational environments. The College provides services for personal housing as fol-lows : 1. Supervisory services of the Dean of Women and the Dean of Men for all living arrangements of out-of-town students. 2. Information regarding board and room, apartments, and light housekeeping in private homes.
