Show something for everyone... Here's a good resolve for 1973 pursue a new interest and make yourself a happier person by taking a class from the many offered locally. This issue is dedicated tc the educational opportunities op-portunities available to Moab citi-enry, and to the promotion of interest in registration. The spectrum of classes is so broad that any person should find an offering suited to his likings. If you feel a yen to get out and learn a lktle something and have a good time doing it, look to the community education program. Some of their essentially es-sentially good time classes are volleyball for ladies, men's basketball, and on the planning board such activities as needlepoint, quilting and party foods. Many of these classes will fill requirements fori a high school diploma, and are a fine way to achieve that goal. In addition are the academic subjects sub-jects including mathematics, adult basic reading and English. The Vocational Education programs are geared to improve old skills or learn new ones. An interested interest-ed person can indeed learn a new vocation and carve out a new life through the Vocational Education Educat-ion Center. The choices to mention only a few, are electronics, welding, cosmetology and sewing. We suggest you give a little thought to something new you would like to learn to do, and check the listings in community, vocational and adult education. The college level classes offered through Utah State University's Southeastern Utah Center for Continuing Education are a real boon to residents. Located as we are in such an isolated area, we are very lucky to have the center, which literally brings the whole scope of college classes to our doorstep. Most of the professors fly down from Logan for classes, but a numberof local people qualify to teach in their fields and are part of the teaching staff at SUCCE. The educational programs here in Moab are a good deal more complete and sophisticated than in most such isolated areas, and we are fortunate to have the fine facilities of the new Vocational Education Educa-tion Center at the disposal of all the programs. We salute the men coordinating these programs, Tom Arnold, Director of SUCCE, Dean Hammer, Director of Vocational, Adult and Community Education, Ed-ucation, and Bill Meador, Superintendent of Schools. Their deep interest and hours of planning effort are responsible for the fine educational opportunities 1 here. During Moab's Education Week 1973, January 7-13, we urge Moabites to look seriously at the class offerings listed in this issue, and plan to enroll this quarter and reap the rewards of a new interest, new knowledge, new friends. Get out of your rut now. You'll be glad you did. |
