Observations on Several Institutions

WTC appears on its way to another great enrollment for the spring semester. On- campus enrollment remains high. This is excellent for the local economy because many of the on-campus students are from out of town. These are dollars in our economy that would otherwise not be there.

Of course, the big project right now is finding a new president for the college. Dr. Williams will be a tough act to follow. Many people are very grateful for the what he has done for the college. We wish him great success in his new endeavor in Odessa.

However, life goes on and there is no reason that we cannot find a president who can continue and expand on Dr. William’s accomplishments.

We had over thirty applicants, many of whom had very impressive resumes. Picking the right person for WTC is very important for the community and the board will do its best. Hold a good thought for us.

The process is well on its way.

The new chamber manager, Jay Burns, is a local boy who has been away awhile in the big city. He has gained invaluable experience and enjoyed his time away, but loves this community and really wanted to return and be a part of helping develop the area where he grew up.

He has a perspective on what a rural community can and can’t do and yet has a vision for helping Snyder thrive.

He is very much a people person and would love to talk to you.

Don’t be shy about calling on him and letting him know what you think.

He wants to get everyone working together.

This is a good article from the Abilene Reporter News about Snyder's economy.

Little do people know that Dr. Williams reduced the 30 year reserves that Dr. Krenek built to grow and sustain the college. The account went from 30 years to 3 months!!! He actually hurt the college worst than any natural disaster by bankrupting it! Dr. Williams did the same to the Odessa Junior College, but the board stopped the hemorrhage. They noticed that this practice was to improve the image of Dr. Williams while costing the college millions. Then its on to the next college to ruin.

Good luck fixing the sinking ship and to a lot of hard decisions!

you got the same going on at SISD, with A.D.'s ruining other sports to make theirs. Neither care about any sport other than the one they coach. How does volleyball win sooooo many games prior to district and then be sooooo unsuccessful? Maybe from padding schedule and playing 1a and 2a teams,
