It is recommended that a student pursuing a major in English Language, Literature, and Speech take advantage of the following student activities directed by the Department, and planned as integral parts of its curricular offerings. The activities are open to all students who qualify and make proper application. Special contests established by patrons of the College encourage individual and group participation. Student Publication. The College yearbook is The Acorn. Participation in this activity gives students two kinds of experience: editorial and business. Editorial work consists of planning the book, arranging art designs, pictures, cover and format generally, of writing resumes of the year's activities, and of copy and proof reading. Business involves making contacts for photography, printing and engraving, soliciting, advertising and selling. The Weber College Signpost is the student body newspaper. It is a weekly tabloid written and edited by the students of English 6, 7, and 8, although any member of the student body may become a staff member by application and regular contribution. The W. C. Handybook is the official handbook of ready information prepared by a sophomore as a convenient guide to the college life — its administration, activities, songs, cheers, and directory. Debating. Debating has as its curricular basis a course in argumentation.

Public speaking at Weber College is promoted not only in speech classes but in basic communication courses as well. Such efforts find their highest expression in contest speaking, both on the campus and in meets with other colleges. Conspicuous among the intramural efforts in speech is the annual James L. Barker Contest in extempore speaking. Oration. An intramural Oratorical Contest is conducted each year on the subject of international affairs and tinder sponsorship of the Ogden International Rotarian organization. A ?25 cash prize is awarded to the first place speaker and $15 to the second place speaker. Students who distinguish themselves in intramural contests may qualify for contests held with other colleges. Such contests include: debating, extempore and impromptu speech, oratory, interpretative speech, poetry reading, acting, radio speech, and after-dinner speaking. Students who meet the requirements may achieve membership in the Utah Alpha Chapter of Phi Rho Pi, a national honorary forensic society. Play Production. Play production at Weber College is under the administrative guidance of the Division of Humanities and is fostered directly through an organization known as the Weber College Theatre. This Theatre sponsors throughout the school year and produces both proscenium and arena stage productions. Major season plays, combining the talents of student and community actors, are produced in the Moench auditorium. A Theatre Workshop production is staged each quarter in the Arena Theatre using student actors exclusively. A Youth Theatre production tours Weber County in the spring, and the Theatre also cooperates with the Music Department in the production of an annual musical show of opera during the winter quarter. In addition to these departmental activities a varied number of one-act plays are presented under Department sponsorship by Tau Alpha Gamma, a student dramatic fraternity at the college. Speech Arts Workshop. Qualified students are permitted to enroll for credits in a course devoted exclusively to preparation for public appearances before campus groups, or other audiences in the community. Through this class, students gain excellent experience and furnish valuable public service as special speakers, readers, story tellers, book reviewers, etc.
