The director of each division has had special training in 'the particular field to wihich he is assigned. well-trame- The division of biological science has been set up not only to assist those of you who major in biology, bontany, or zoology, but also to those who are interested in pharmacy, medicine, dentistry forestry, agriculture, and physical education. Once you have chosen one of these fields as your lifes vocation, and have made this choice known, it is the responsibility of the director to see that you are appraised of 'the special requirements of admission to the proper school and for helping you work out the proper sequence of classes. Forms have been prepared which enable him to plan your program and to check your progress with you each quarter. In this way you can be assured of competent and professional guidance as you move toward your goal. If you have selected one of the fields noted you should make an appointment to see Mr. Loraine Woodbury during the autumn quarter. Mr. Woodburys office is adjacent to the biology laboratory, room 11S, or can be reached from the outside door on the south side of the science building. If you are interested in English, art, music, speech or any of the modern languages you should register in the division of humanities. In addition to preparing to teach in those fields, you may 'be interested in radio work or in creative writing.

Under the supervision of Mr. Wayne R. McConkie, director of the division otf occupational training, Mr. Norman Fawson and Arnold Ashby painted the parking stalls, together with directional signals on the newly laid blacktop. Students using the area will also find a new cement walk leading from the parking area to the campus buildings. The parking plan which Norman worked out makes it possible to use all the space profitably by y entrance providing for a and a exit. Signs marking these will be erected and must be observed to prevent accidents. Since the space between cars is limited, some care in parking and moving automobiles will ibe necessary. In the middle of the parking d area there is a space provided. Parking beyond this space is limited to half-da- y only in order that automobiles may not be removed during classes except in emergencies. Students who do not intend to use the area for more than an hour or two should use the area between the turnaround and the street, or else park elsewhere. The establishment of this area has made it possible to restrict the parking in front of the annex to delivery cars and to cars being worked on by students in the auto mechanics classes. In order to park here students must obtain a signed permit from (Mr. Eugene Steed and may park only during the designated hours. This permit must be posted near the rear view mirror on the windshield of the students car. Violators of regulations will be subjectparking to fine. one-wa- one-da- y turn-aroun- Stated on Attendance Teachers are expected to see that a justifiable excuse for all 1. is submitted by each student concerned. If such is not forthcoming, the absence will be recorded in the teachers roll as absences unexcused. SEPTEMBER 12, 1956 PRESIDENT BRUHN COUNSELS STUDENTS A wise man once said, The virtue is in the struggle, not in the prize. In this complex and changing world the wise man will never arrive, but forever be reaching a bit higher into the unknown. All personal progress comes in this manner. Fundamentally that is why each of you is here, your quiet moments marked with quiet discontent and by a resolution to become a more effective personality. Most of you have chosen to attend college because you know that here you will find others motivated by the same resolution, and because you know that you will find here men and women who are devoting their lives to the business of helping others grow.

MISS BETTY ALLAN 2. Whenever Dean of Students Message Welcome to Dixie and congrat- ulations on having enough foresight and courage to return for another year of schooling. You have elected to place yourself in the group of people, as yet in the minority, who place an education above the glamor of immediate material gain. Many of you have g left good, jobs. The very fact that you did leave them to return to your education is a sure indication of maturity to us. Following this important decision there will come many others equally as important. It is our desire that we may help you in finding the best possible answers to your problems through our coun- NUMBER of the student affairs committee are here to help and advise you when you need them. It is not our prerogative to make those decisions for you nor will we execute any projects in the realm of student government except as we are called upon to help you students. If at any time you see ways in which this can be members same bacteria, teach the same rules of punctuation, and memorize the same dates in history. And your academic credits will go where ever you go. But a complete education does not end there. It also provides an oportunity to create, an opportunity to develop our own special talents under helpful guidance, and to display them to your friends. It is an easily demonstratable fact that as the student number increases the opportunity for individual development decreases. Last year 25 per cent of our male students played football. People learn to do by doing. We are glad we are small. Shortly, too, you will discover what to many will seem to be an amazing fact. We care about you Your individual well-bein- is of g direct concern to us. You count This, however, will not be diffi cult to understand if you will but remember that we believe that the only reason for the existence of this institution is to help young people grow. In other words, you the student, come first at Dixie college. We want you to be happy here, to enjoy your total eduoa tional experience, for we have long since discovered that unhappy stu dents are rarely good students and that good students become better people faster. Despite this, however, despite our concern for you, our aspira tions for you, our efforts to your development and growth, our efforts are not always successful, for much of what may be your personal story rests with you, and with your willingness to lend a helping hand. pro-mot- Dixie College Reveals Policy on Schoarsliips 1.

All students except athletes will be re- Dixie College Discusses Student Housing Policy Regulating School Year For a number of years there have been few or no restrictions placed by the school on students who have utilized off-camp- housing in St. George. While some householders have wisely worked out understandings with their tenants, many have trusted to the students good judgment regarding the use of their facilities. In some cases they have been seriously disappointed and as a result have closed their homes to further use of this kind. It is the considered opinion of the administration and the student-affairs committee that it is unfair for the school to continue to ignore this problem unfair to the householder, unfair to the future of the school, and unfair to develop practices that are unwise and inconsiderate. It is part of the basic philosophy of Dixie college that every phase of a students life is of vital concern to the administration and faculty alike. Consequently a meeting was called with students, householders and members of the student-affair- s committee to work out a policy which we shall request that householders help us enforce. We shall, of course, pledge them our full support and expect that students will cooperate with us. The policy which is proposed, subject to modification by mutual agreement of the householder and the student, follows: 1. Students shall pay their rent each month in advance. When the first months payment is made, the student shall also deposit $10 with the householder.. All or of this shall be refunded at part the time the student moves from the premises under conditions noted immediately below. 2. Students will be responsible for the care of all facilities and for the observance of rules of conduct that will result in their proper care. If there are breakages or losses other than would ibe expected with normal use, the stu- dent or students responsible shall compensate the householder for the replacement of same. Costs of less than $10 will be deuoted from the deposit fee and the balance refunded when tbe student leaves the premises. 3. The student shall not make telephone calls without the knowledge and consent of the householder. They shall be expected to make a record of and compensate the landlord for such calls. Where a toll station exists, local calls must also be recorded and paid for. Where telephones are installed directly in the students apartment for his convenience each student wall be expected to pay the share of the rental in addition to his own calls, before the seventh of the month. 4. All rental agreements are between the students and the householder. If others than these students use the rooms or facilities, the students must first secure the householders consent. 5. The students must keep their apartment clean. Rooms should be tidied during tire morning hours before school, and be kept ready for inspection by either the householder or school personnel at all times. 6. Students shall be expected to keep the plumbing and other facilities clean and in good operating condition. If there is breakage or if minor repairs are needed, the householder shall be notified as long-distan- long-distan- quired to maintain a B average their grant for the next quarter.
