The guidance plan is direct. The student will receive help at registration from a faculty member. A student in any class can obtain help from the instructor in that class. The student is also welcome to see the department heads, division chairmen, the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, the Dean of Faculty or the President. Every faculty member and administrative officer has office hours for this purpose. The Dean of Men, as chairman of the guidance services, will help on any problems of student welfare. The Dean of Women is available to help the women who desire such service. The Guidance Center is located in room 100, West Central Building. Six faculty members are available for confidential interviews. Also, a very modern and useful testing service is available upon request. All test results are held confidential. Each major field has its own unique battery of tests. Included are achievement, personality, interest, aptitude and ability tests. Reading clinic services and grammar clinic services are available to all students who wish to increase proficiency in either of these essential skills for academic achievement. Arrangement for obtaining assistance from either clinic may be obtained by contacting the faculty members assigned to the clinics. The Orientation class, which every student should take for credit as soon as possible after entering the College, is designed to answer many questions the individual will have. Included are such units as the use of the library, how-to-study techniques, personality development, vocational and interest tests, college adjustment, aptitude measures, psychological aptitude tests, and others. A pre-registration period of counseling and testing is available with tests to assist a student in his choice of a vocation, and in his selection of a major field. The demand for trained men and women as related to their supply is a big factor in the counseling of students. College is the place for learning to live a good life and to earn a good living. Certain clinics are optional for students who need special help in reading problems, writing, in health matters, and in beauty problems. In these clinics, which are conducted by trained personnel, a student may receive invaluable suggestions and remedial work, if he desires. Personal assistance is also available for such problems as finances, health and housing as well as for academic, personal and marital difficulties. The Weber College Veterans Guidance Center, staffed by the College Veterans Coordinator, assists veterans with their special problems involved in registering and training under the G. I. Bill of Rights. 33 MILITARY TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE IN OGDEN 1. Draft Deferment as a student. A. Statutory deferment for one year—Every 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 deferments—Further 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 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 join offer 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 directly into the armed forces. 5. Attractive enlistment opportunities in the Air Force are open for those with two years of college.
