Although this view may seem a bit extreme, it paints a horrifying picture. "Dixie Leavitt Don There is an air around Dixie College that can only be described as Dixie the spirit." Everyone involved any organization on campus can leel it, and it is one of the few things that seta Dixie from College m apart any campus in the state. why is enrollment at Dixie dropping? Why are people deciding 'gainst Dixie as the institution to further their education? other So ele Dixie ECIA. gained the reputation of "party school," and has been by it ever since. The ridiculousness of this reputation is that Dixie is no more a party school than a haunted being 3 Vhk in Capital Punishment, in my opinion, is perfectly jus-Th- e tified. A hard-cor- e felon who has intentionally taken the life of an individual deserves to die. Babies do not! What is wrong with our society? Have we become so d as to accept such an inhumane hard-hearte- act. Abortion should be recognized as a defect in our nation of liberty and justice for all. These babies that are being killed are people, they have the right to live. We should do something about future victims. There may be rare exceptions such as rape, but the ratio of abortions for this reason is slim compared to other 'excuses'. Accidental pregnancies may be a tragedy, but it is a subtle one compared to the intentional abortion of a living on circumstances, there are always other alternatives. Adoption is the major channel to turn to, this at least allows the child to live-- to have a chance at life. If a baby is not wanted, a mother should at least endure the pregnancy. There will always be a place for the child. that abortion. There should be a law it! against Enforcement of that law should also be in existence. Of course there may be certain cases where it might be allowed, although this is also unjustified in my opinion. I will the "big" schools up north. But, Dixie has a warmer climate, a smaller student body, and, more importantly, Dixie is a two-yeschool, and for these reasons, many people fail to realize Dixie's academic abilities. How many two-yecolleges can boast of a number of students graduate from the college, to go straight into a graduate program, such as law and medical schools? Well, Dixie can, with students such asDr.Craig Booth, who graduated from Dixie, entered medical school and is now the Chief of Staff at Dixie Medical Center. Dixie is a fun school, but it is a school first. For a good education in a warm, friendly environment, give believe I am speaking for a great number of Dixie stuone nts when I say that Dixie does not put enough emphasis on he athletic basket-ial- l, a programs that exist other than baseball, and football. Everyone has talents, and whether that tal-b- e as a basketball handler or an ancient Indian arrowhead Under doesn't matter, each student should have the privilege to iemonstrate his or her talents here at Dixie. Giving an example, I love to play soccer and Dixie doesn t lave any sort of soccer program other than a basic class. I real-that most junior colleges have this same problem. But in )rder to correct it, someone needs to make a start, so why not I dart here? 138 think we should start an athletic team for everything-by- , bouldering, biking, lacrosse, polo, golfing, and of course, not. lncient Indian arrowhead finding.
