Show Page 4 The Thunderbird Wednesday, January 4, 1984 W Opimn Legislature determines SUSCs future success W))) A recent report by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges named SUSCs major shortcoming as a deficient financial base. The association, which granted the college its continued accreditation, pointed out some other negative aspects in its report, all of which can be tied to the lack of proper funding. Through personal sacrifice, dedicated staff and faculty continue to maintain a tremendous degree of excellence on behalf of the college and the students they serve, despite the limited budget. And though The Thunderbird recognizes their efforts, we also realistically look ahead to a time when that excellence can be preserved through proper financial support. If the Utah Legislature fails to allot to SUSC the funding it needs and justly deserves, The Thunderbird believes the legislature will be guilty only of the continued placement of the unfair burden of personal sacrifice a burden carried too long and to an extreme degree by those who understand the vital role of good education but it may also be guilty of robbing the college of the high degree of accreditation it has achieved. SUSC cannot continue without proper financing. The future of this campus lies in the hands of the Utah Legislature. The Thunderbird feels that those who desire strong educational programs in this state must make their feelings known to the legislature. Because education is one of the keys to creating a better tomorrow for all, we must not ignore it in its hour of need. Neither should the legislature. As more people become part of society, society as a whole benefits. Where will the needed money to maintain and upgrade our educational systems in Utah come from? In the end, of course, it can come only from taxpayers. The Thunderbird believes the time has come to do some serious thinking about the value of education and to sound off to the lawmakers regarding our thoughts.
