New Deal Is Underway New Faces In The Montreat Faculty
Montreat-Anderson has its own
"New Deal" and it is very much a part
of today. Changes in housing, health,
food service, and even the learning
process are in evidence as the first
semester begins.
After the summer valley visitors
conditioned it for use, Montreat-Anderson
Hall is now occupied by four floors of
girls, with a spacious lobby on the
ground level. Gayle Granger is M-A
Hall president, and the head resident
is a Howerton migrant, Mrs. Arfet Hodge.
Their neighbors are Bunk Spann and
company as Crosby-Adams as been
converted into the College Union
Activities House.
Organizations with offices in the
College Union Activities House include
the SCA, the Sun Dial (school yearbook),
the SGA, and the Cavalier, among
others. In addition, the Honor Court
will dispense justice here, having
rendered previous decisions in Dean
Kester's office.
Located near the shores of Lake
Susan, Fellowship Hall has second
floor faculty offices, sandwiched between
first and third floor student quarters.
Mr.. Kester said the teachers moved to
"cut down on the unnecessary expense of
heating a building and keeping it clean."
McMillan House also experienced a
change in leadership when Richard Monica
assumed Fred Green's presidential duties.
Green now serves as student supervisor
at Moore Center. His newly created
post stemmed from a Montreat Food
Service Association decision to drop
the Moore Center enterprise after a year's
deficit of around $4,000. Howerton
Cafeteria is now under the management
of Mr. Clyde Stubbs, with Miss Georgia
Bussell as supervisor in charge.
They have requested that a food
committee be organized and meet weekly.
Its responsibility will be to hear student
complaints and concerns in the area of
food preparation and service. Mr. Kester
serves as liaison officer between the
college and the cafeteria management.
While the cafeteria's sole interest is
food, Moore Center has a double role.
As well as the snack bar, which plans to
serve hot and cold sandwiches, the
building will house the game room and
offer space for the continued practice
of coffee houses. Art work and a snack
bar name are projected to give what
Director of Student Activities Bunk
Spann terms "good atmosphere" to equal
the good food. Hours of operation are
II AM to II FM Monday through Friday,
II AM to 12 RM on Saturday, and 5 RM
to II RM on Sunday. Spann says student
support of this new business is a must.
He states "We can not go in the hole."
Neither can many MAC students
afford to! That is to say, who wants a
.9 academic average? To assist in
solving scholastic problems like this,
our school has a new wrinkle - tutors in
four dormitories. They are; Blanche
Morrison in M-A Hall , Robert Miller in
Howerton, Jim Wilson in New Hall, and
Linda Glasco in College Hall.
Sophomores will notice a
dozen new faces among the fac
ulty and staff. Freshmen and
these twelve have a common de
nominator. Both are in their
first year at Montreat-Anderson.
The educators in their initial
year here are involved in Eng
lish, mathematics, finance
history, physical education,
art, and student affairs.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Hester,
two of mac's English teachers
last year, are now in Raleigh
where Mr. Hester teaches at
Peace College. In this depart
ment, Montreat has three teach
ers here for the first time.
Kenneth P. Kifer has a B.A.
from Jacksonville State Univer
sity and earned his M.A. in
English at the University of
Alabama. William Stowe, who
assumes part-time duties in
English, completed undergradu
ate work at St. Andrews College
and went on to receive an M.A.
from Appalachian State Univer
sity .
At our school on National
Teaching Fellowships are Col
lett B. Dilworth, Jr., in Eng
lish and Jerry D. Cooper in
mathematics. Dilworth holds a
B.A. degree from the University
of Texas and an M.A. from the
University of Georgia. Cooper
comes to MAC from Atlantic
Christian College and owns a
B,S. froiii Lynchburg College
and an M.M. from the University
of South Carolina.
Mr. H. Nelson Walden, like
Mr. Cooper, will be concerned
with nijmbers but his utili
zation differs as he is Direc
tor of Financial Aid and an
instructor in Economics. Wal
den has a B.S. and M.A. from
Appalachian State University.
In the History Department,
a vacancy was created by the
departure of John Ricks to
Valdosta State College in Val
dosta, Georgia. Miss Janet
Stone, with an A.B. from Ran-
dolph-Macon Women's College
and an M.A. from Purdue Univer
sity, moves in to fill the po
sition .
Gone from the Health and
Physical Education Department
is Larry Wilson, who takes a
year's leave of absence to
complete doctoral studies at
Florida State University in
Tallahassee, Florida. Walter
Hughes serves as acting head
in Wilson's department while
he is away. Hughes has a B.S.
and an M.A. from Western Caro
lina University. Also new in
this area, Charles J. Parks

College and an M.A. from Appa
lachian State University.
Miss Carole Tyler, Mr. Elbie

lated matters. Miss Tyler, a

pi State College for Women and
