The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is, that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a stong won't. The "wills" and the "wonts have had a heyday the past eight years on the Issue of the Junior college, It appears. And, although some thought It was all over, It. looks like the battle has just begun. The "yea's" and the "nay's" still have a lot of giving and taking to do before the unified voice even gets to "maybe". Don't give up, however, because the "wills" haven't. Even though three different legislative bodies have voted to establish a Junior college in tlie Basin and yet its future is still clouded the prospects are somewhat brighter than they have ever been. In our efforts to support the drive for a junior college here, we do not belittle the work of other communities for similar facilities. As weve said before, the time will come when several junior colleges will of necessity be established. We likewise have no quarrel with communities who are endeavoring to upgrade vocational facilities, patterned after the program at Richfield. There Is tremendous need for Increased vocational instruction In every high school. One area of decision that must be weighed, however, with all the cards on the table, is whether or not we are willing to trade tlie tremendous educational opportunities that could be afforded students of the Basin through a Junior college which would offer both academic and vocational areas of Instruction for facilities that would meet only the vocational needs of our students. Try as we may, we can not read Into the college bill that was passed by the recent state legislature, or the previous legislation that was passed, where these fands could be designs; ted for a vocational school. The law, as enacted, specifies "i Junior college" offering both academic and vocational cour- Leslie B.

One area at discussion on the agenda for Friday evenings meeting, wll be on the financing and construction costs of such a college. It was learned by the committee Monday, that an effort Is being made to discourage taxpayers of this district ix, the assumption that they wul have to foot the bill locally for the construction costs. It will be pointed out at the meeting where funds for Junior colleges originate, and under whose Jurisdiction the college would operate. Members of the committee point out that the only reason the college Issue has progressed to the point that It has, Is through a united effort by of the entire representatives Basin.
