Another doo: to the challenging life opened as Weber stepped into her senior college program. The Education Division, a newcomer to the academic program, evolved from Utah’s urgent need for both elementary and sec- ondary teachers. The program offered by the division prepares students in three major areas: general education, subject specializa- tion. and professional course work. To assure superior quality instructors for Utah schools, a highly selective screening process is used for admittance to the division. Such factors as academic achievement. An education major discover the thrill of student teaching English language skills, and health and ocher personal qualities are determining factors. Student teaching, an exhilarating part of the program, begins for some trainees in the spring quarter of their junior year. Others have this experience during the first quarters of their senior year. Since the other divisions of the college participate exten- sively in teacher preparation, a campus teacher education council assists in developing policies and procedures in correlating all matters relating to the education program. The council is composed of the division chairmen and the dean of faculty. The present Education Division headquarter arc situated in the An- nex. on the east side of the physical science building.

The Humanities Division provides activities of permanent worth and sig- nificance to both community and college. The success of these energies is evidenced in exceptional performances by students in school plays, musicals, debate and speech tournaments, language festivals, and art displays. Departmental changes accompanied college expansion. Challenging both basic abilities and uncommon talents of students, lower division courses flowered into upper division, facilities expanded, Further extending the influence and effectiveness of the Humanities Divi- sion will be the fine arts building, which presently will rise on the spacious site south of the Student Union.
