However, education is not the only area where the human tendency to short-cu- t can produce negative results. Every student is at Dixie College for a specific reason. The majority of students would agree that a better job, more rewarding career, or more money would probably top the list of reasons for going to college. Perhaps all reasons could be lumped under the statement, a better life. (and one which is extremely subject to the tendency to avoid or short-cu- t) g is physical or fitness. Since the educational setting is one in which many of our lifetime attitudes and habits are formed, we must consider the following: Around the turn of the century, the life expectancy of an individual was greatly limited by the presence of infectious diseases. Typhoid, smallpox, well-bein- ' and tubeerculosis threatened everyone. Medical science attacked these killers, and now we live relatively free from such diseases.

Each individual can, to an astonishing degree, control the reach in spite of a good education, a better job, or a rewarding career. College graduates are the future leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists, businessmen, of our movers and engineers society. They are also the future heart attack victims, cancer victims, diabetics, and disease statistics. The future holds too many good things to squander health on a destructive lifestyle.
