Dixiana Isssues Clarified by Administration toward the retirement Recent articles in both It should be understood the school paper and the newspaper regarding Dixiana Dormitory have prompted some student questions and concerns. It is appropriate, therefore, for a statement from the Administration to be to provide published clarification regarding this facility. Dixiana is a dormitory community located approximately mile off campus thus, in the past, the occupancy rate has been one-hal- f rather low. For this reason, Dixiana has historically operated at a loss. Groundhog Forecasts With Ancient Technique trust Bob Welti or Mark Eubank forecast the weather, but some still rely on Mr. Groundhog. Yes, its official. Mr. Groundhog emerged from his winter quarters last Monday and saw his shadow--thu- s forecasting another six weeks of winter. Of course to St. George and Dixie College, winter weather means a lot of sunshine and daily highs of sixty degrees. Had Mr. Groundhog not seen his shadow, however, legend says winter weather would have soon given way to spring like weather. Perhaps this day makes no difference to us, but to the people up north, groundhog day always brings a special hope for a shorter winter. At Dixie, we tend to take our beautiful weather for granted, always assuming the sun will be shining and the temperature warm. In these days of weather satellites and barometric pressure readings, its still comforting to take a look at Mr. Groundhog on Feb. 2 and see what he predicts. to Most people snow-boun- d of the bonds. Another factor in the consideration sell to Dixiana is related to its age and the resultant maintenance that may be required. One wing of the dormitory has plumbing that needs to be replaced in the near future. The heating system, which is sometimes referred to as the boiler system, also needs repairs from time to time because certain aspects of it are rather old. It should be understood, however, that the boiler itself is in good condition and not in any danger whatever of explosion or any major difficulties. The boiler is inspected once each year by the state, and, of course, must be totally safe and satisfactory for them to allow us to continue using it. Some of the peripheral systems related to the boiler, such as return lines, will need repair in the near future and this may be rather expensive. The college has received permission from the State Board of Regents and from the necessary bondholders 'to sell Dixiana, and the college has, on one or two occasions, made some effort to sell the facility. The situation is considerably different at the present time than it has been in the past because of expanded enrollment. With the increased pressure for college housing, Dixiana is not presently for sale, and before that would occur, there would be an intensive review to be certain that it would be in the interest of the college and the students to sell the facility. It is presently serving a very needed function, and thus plans to sell it have been at least delayed and possibly discarded. Roland B.
