THE OUT-OF-CLASS ACTIVITD3S The program of out-of-class activities is organized particularly as the means of achieving the foremost and constant purpose of Weber College: The development of its students and community along socially desirable lines. Such activities are more directly and immediately concerned with giving students experiences in the democratic way of life, with placing them in situations for developing personality and ethical character, and extending to them cultural opportunities for enriching their personal and social lives. The out-of-class activities are organized into three areas of activity, as follows: 1. Student government (student-sponsored). 2. Student activities (department-student sponsored). 3. College-community activities (college-community sponsored). Student Government, student initiated and participated in by all members of the student body, provides a living laboratory for the everyday practice of democracy, for the development of character, social responsibility, and the qualities of leadership, followership, and good citizenship. Organizations admininstered by students are: 1. The Associated Students of Weber College, The Sophomore Class, The Freshman Class. 2. The Associated Men Students, The Associated Women Students, The Women's Athletic .Association. 3. The Board of Control 4. Student committees, councils, and clubs. All of these organizations offer experiences in voting, in becoming a candidate for office within the rules of the Constitution of the Associated Students, or of particular organizations; in holding elective or appointive office; or in acting in a governing body, as a responsible member or representative for some campus group.
