J. J. Rutherford, spokesman for a Vista group opposed to the bond issue, cqmmented that it was the consensus of those at a recent meeting that they would like to help the board if they can assist in solving the. problem. ' 1 We are for the college and want it to be a vital force,'' he declared. Speaking f o r Escondidans who voiced disapproval of the recent bond issue, C. J. Gillette ·aid that he had found a few persons who believe that the college should die and that if there is no method now to consummate a dissolution of the district the next Legislature should provide that method. "My personal opinion," Gillette said, "is that we should pr·Pc;Pnt a bond issue that will ' not be defeated, or the college will die.'' l\1ost of the members of the board of governors spoke briefly. Albert Chamness said "what ever we do we should forget what has been done in the past.'' Frood Smith suggested that to get away from divergent views a meeting of citizens of the entire district be held at San 1\farcos.
