Show Housing Problem Acute; Work For Students Needed Says Pres. Snow The Dixie junior college has two great needs, according to President Presi-dent Glenn E. Snow, as he reports re-ports everything in readiness for the opening of the college next week. The housing problem is particularly acute, and there is need of a substantial local support. sup-port. President Snow, with members of his faculty, has now completed a survey of student prospects in this territory and the first faculty meeting of the year was held this morning. The housing problem is always present, but this year it is particularly parti-cularly urgent that rooms be made available to prospective students from outside of St. George. "We need a large number of one and two-room apartments, priced at a figure students are able to pay", states President Snow. "If they are not available, we are faced with the necessity of denying these students an education or turning them to other institutions". institu-tions". Arrangements have been made to house 20 girls at a dormitory, dor-mitory, but the prospective en-( en-( Continued on page ten) Housing Problem Acute; Work For Students Needed Says Pres. Snow (Continued from first page) rollment is so large that other housing must be provided at once, especially batching quarters for boys. Girls who desire dormitory accommodations are advised to make reservations at once. Another local need, according to President Snow, is employment for students. The college has more employment opportunities than ever before, but still the need has not been satisfied. Patrons who have any type of work that can be done by college students are asked to report to the college office immediately. President Snow's survey indicates indi-cates that there is an increasing interest in the Dixie college on the part of students outside this locality. He points out, however, that local interest is not too high. Many local people of college grade are not availing themselves of the opportunities the college offers. Not only are these people losing, but the college itself may suffer. The junior colleges of the state are to be investigated, by a legislative committee of 15 during this school year. One important check is to discover whether or not the colleges are serving a real need. To say the least, the report would be more nearly positive if it was found the local percentage of enrollment is high. At the faculty meeting held this morning plans were completed com-pleted for the registration of students stu-dents and for a vigorous start of the school year. Students of both divisions may get needed help in the selection of courses starting today. A complete set-up of counseling has been arranged for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This will be continued during the registration days Monday and Tuesday. Monday will be set aside for the registration of upper division students, while Tuesday will be used for lower division students. Students are urged to register early to insure satisfaction satisfac-tion in 'the selection of classes in which there is a limited number to be enrolled. Too, an additional fee is charged after the first week. Class schedules are now available. Class work begins Wednesday. Wed-nesday. The first assembly of the year is scheduled for Wednesday morning morn-ing at 11 o'clock. This is an orientation assembly under the direction of B. Glen Smith. Customary Cus-tomary introductions will be made, with President Snow scheduled to welcome the students. stu-dents. Musical numbers and other features will be given by former students of the institution. The first student assembly will be held Friday, Sept. 15. This will be under the supervision of Jane Pace and Rulon Iverson, commissioners of amusement. An interesting program is being arranged. ar-ranged. Creston Woodard, president presi-dent of the student body predicts a very successful year of student activities. "We have had a conference con-ference with the weather man", says Creston, "and we have a complete understanding for the year. You can plan on Zion Park and a good day this year". A melon bust will be featured the first week, together with the annual an-nual get-acquainted dance. The college catalogue, which has been widely distributed, indicates in-dicates a wide group of courses from which students may select. A number of new courses are listed. Since the issuing of the catalogue new courses in Journalism, Journal-ism, Business English and Scout Leadership are offered. These will be listed on the regular schedule. The college faculty has been increased by two full-time instructors, in-structors, Rodney A. Ashby, vocational vo-cational co-ordinator and instructor instruc-tor in economics, and Myrtle Henderson, instructor in speech and English. Earl Cottam will also spend full time with the college as instructor in the mechanical arts. Other new instructors are Jay Tolman, physical education and coach of athletics;' Vivian Spencer, librarian; and Dean A. Peterson, stenography and office practice. Leland Hafen is discontinuing dis-continuing work in physical education, edu-cation, but will continue to coach the high school basketball team. His new work will be in the field of social sciences. B. Glen Smith has been given more time for counseling and guidance, but will continue to do some work in dramatics; Miss Henderson will assist him in this latter field. Other teachers are carrying about the same load as heretofore. The complete renovation of the plant, with better librarv conveniences, con-veniences, and with safety and health factors better taken care of. will leave the physical plant with little to be desired. Prospective students are asked' to get in touch with the college office for detailed information concerning their work and adjustments. adjust-ments. Catalogues are still available avail-able for all who have not received re-ceived them. |
