              UTAH TECHNICAL COLLEGE AT Technical vs. Universities Uu Ltl What values are there in Vocational and Trade school as compared to a conventional college education? An interview with President Sorenson brought out some advantages of attending trade school These are a few of his ideas: Trade school provides a definite object of employment, one or two years in training and experience, and job preparatory not pre college work. There are many economical reasons for going b trade school. For instance, trade school costs less, and scholorships and grants-in-aid are available. Teachers are experienced in the instructional occupation and instruction in occupation goes towards self-knowledge, practical, rather than theoretical terms. The school holds an open-door policyany one who could benefit by or from experience, providing there is space, is accepted. There is no flunking, rather success is worked for.

"We had to deny entrance to students who wanted to enter training in auto body, building construction, electrical and automation, electronics, and refrigeration. Continued Dean Kearney, "We would like to have the facilities to handle more students, but we feel that we could not accommodate more students in our present quarters without creating a condition inconsistent with the standards of performance and employability for which the college has a strong reputation." President Wilson W. Sorenson this week made a plea to the Utah legislature, now in session, to increase the funding of the college to facilitate further expansion.

Records indicate that 110 new students entered this quarter who were transfer students from such schools as BYU, Snow College, Utah State University, and 7 other state schools as well as from out-of-state institutions. At the beginning of the fall quarter 330 students entered Utah Tech who had previously been enrolled in other colleges.
