Show EACH DEPENDENT UPON THE OTHER THE success o Dixie College and the B. A. C. is a mutual problem. One cannot succeed without with-out the other. These junior colleges col-leges are so far removed from j other institutions of higher education educa-tion that the closing of either would bring ruin to the ether. The basis for this contention is plainly that college students must match wits with other college students stu-dents or there will be no college atmosphere. Friends of the B. A. C. and of Dixie should recognize this fundamental thought. It is a short-sighted policy on the part of anyone who would advocate anything else. Furthermore, the Dixie college and Branch Agricultural College both have splendid educational plants with equipment sufficient to meet the requirements of the state and national examination societies. To close' either of these institutions would be a tremendous tremen-dous financial loss. And further, southern Utah is the gateway to the intermountain country. The economic outlet to the sea for the entire intermountain intermoun-tain country is via southern Utah. The growth period for this section in the immediate future will justify jus-tify the continuance of both junior colleges. Southern Utah's representatives and senator have been given figures fig-ures and statistics covering the enrollment and per capita cost of the students attending the Dixie college over a period of years. We feel confident that with this information in-formation available to our present legislature that no junior college program will be concluded that would not include a provision whereby the Dixie College would be maintained. |
