DUST Volume 1, Number 2 Montreat-Anderson College Student Newspaper October 16, 1975 Leadership Conference planned The SGA of Montreat- Anderson College recently approved plans for a Student Leadership Conference to be held here at Montreat- Anderson College during March of 1976. The conference committee headed by R. B. Wilkins has made the following tentative plans: The guests will stay in Assembly Inn and all meetings will be held there. Invitations will be extended to student leaders at Junior Colleges in the Southeast and at some 4-year private schools. Dr. Jack Fleer, Chairman of the Political Science Department at Wake Forest University, will be the con sultant and perhaps a speaker at the conference. Sen. Mark Hatfield from Oregon, evangelist Billy Graham, N. C. Governor College have also been mentioned as possible speakers and will be con tacted. The purpose of this con ference is to bring together student leaders from all over the Southeast to share ideas, voice concerns arid hear by R. B. WILKINS Student Government Editor prominent people speak on issues that concern student leaders. The conference will also be in accord with the U. S. Bicentennial. The biggest problem facing the Conference at the moment was brought up up in a recent SGA meeting. “Where are we gonna get the money?” someone asked. The cost of the Conference will be about $65 per person. This will cover most expenses. With the persission of the college, the Conference Committee plans to solicit additional funds from cor porations in and around the Southeast. “iVo Halloween party? 59 Newspaper staff: front, left to right-Robert Heeth, Robin Laughon, Lucy Coker, Lynn Buie, Linda Field and R.B.

(Photo by Allan Jones) This is the reaction of lots of students when confronted with the proposal of celebrating the evening of October 31 in a different way. This proposal has been made by Ann Wilson, assistant dorm resident of MA-Hall. The plan is based on what “Hallowed Evening” was originally meant to be. “I got the idea a few years ago from a newspaper article that explained the origin of Halloween,” she explains. “It started in the early Christian church when people wanted to set aside one day a year to “Slowly through the years it was modified. By 800 AD it was set for November One and called “All Saints Day*. The by RUTH AKERMAN memorial was spread among the people and soon the night before took on special significance as ‘Hallowed Evening’ or Holy Evening! “With the idea of dead people, many folks turned the evening into a time for fire festivals and communicating with spirits who had passed on. This is the derivative of what we now call Halloween, when everyone dresses up like ghosts and witches.” This year’s “Holy Evening” will take on a marked change in Montreat as Calvin Thielman is putting together a special worship service for the evening of don‘t wanta worship the dead,” Ann says. “But that’s not the idea. The evening will be a time of celebration and thanksgiving tor these people who have died. It’ll be a prayer time for present day martyrs too.” What about the traditional masquerade party in McGregor dorm? There will be a party in McGregor-after the worship service but it will be different. According to some of its planners, it will be something “special”. “More people have com plained about this than I ex pected,” Ann says. “En thusiasm usually comes after some thought about it though. “This is an observance Christians have allowed Satan to penetrate.” It’s about time made for a “real” masquerade ball later in the year. Details on this will be revealed later. Cavaliers lose five, Newspaper staff hope for better Robert Heeth is head editor of our Newspaper, Dust In The Corner.

Soccer at MAC has thus far given no indication as to the quality of our team. Wehaved played and lost five games. The first was against a tough King College Sept 13. At this point Kings (being a 4 year school) had much more needed experience. Although we lost 4-2 we still played winners’ ball. Moi Monroe scored a long comer kick straight into the goal. Charles Libsome scored the other point. The offense and defense did and' outstanding job both ways. The next game on Sept. 24 was against a strong, very rugged, Brevard Team. was the first home game of the season. Unforunately we still came up short, 9-3. The of fense couldn’t quite get moving but the defense did a excellant job. We appeared as a team rusty on basic skills. The third game was against Warren Wilson College on Sept. 29, which has a strong recruting program. We lost 4- . 0. This again was no in dication of how we played. The offense couldn’t quite put it in. Fortunately the defense played an outstanding game. The next game was against the same team and this time by GARY SMITH SPORTS EDITOR we got a goal at last. It was scored by Tim Bateman with an assist by Beraie O’Sheilds. Both offense and defe^e did a good job. We in this game were at last beginning to show a offensive punch. r The fifth game against Brevard on Oct. 11 at Brevard. The score was 3-4 Brevard. Brevard scored the winning goal in the final seconds of the game. We played probably our best game.
