NATO offered the Soviet
Union and the Warsaw Pack
the possibility of a lengthy
relationship, employing
realism and moderation. In
the statement, a part of the
recently adopted Declara
tion of Brussels, the Atlantic
Alliance spoke to the Soviet
Union as a possible partner.
The document has been
called an ‘important politi
cal signal.’
British Prime Minister Mar
garet Thatcher said Decem
ber 9 that English-American
relations are ‘in good heart.’
The statement was issued
despite the British feeling
that U.S.A. economic
policies are hurting Great
Britain and other European
countries. Great Britain
also objects to the United
States lift of the ban on arm
sales to Argentina, fearing
that the added weapons will
aid the Argentines should
they reinvade the Falklands.

Because of its prolonged
controversy, the construc
tion of the Montreat-Ander
son College Center is a sub
ject that has sifted to the
backs of many minds
among students. However,
the issue is far from being
neglected.
After three long meetings,
the Montreat Board of Ad
justment made a decision
September 8 to let the Col
lege continue its plans to
build the Center, but the
Board never signed the ac
tion. Then October brought
in fresh perspectives. The
Board agreed to delay con
struction of the Center in an
effort to comply with the
Board’s “desire to co
operate with the Mountain
Retreat Association and
Management Council, the
town commissioners, and
the cottage owners toward
making an unbiased, objec
tive study for what is best
for the Montreat Valley and
all the organizations located
therein,’’ according to
school officials. Shortly
after this decision, three
alternative locations be
came possible considera
tions when the Mountain
Retreat Association
discussed with the College
the purchase of other con
struction sites. The ex
ecutive committee of the
College’s Board of Trustees
will make a decision on a
site at the meeting schedul
ed February 21.
President Vaughn says,
“We want to make a very
conscientous, objective, op
timistic study of the three
sites. If a purchase or an
agreement for any one of
the sites is made, then we’ll
need to take test borings to
see what the subsoil condi
tions would be. The soil at a
site might not be conducive
for building. If none of the
sites prove feasible or ad
visable, then we’ll have to
go back to the original site.”
He believes the College
Center will “strengthen and
enhance the present pro
gram of education offered at
Montreat-Anderson.”
He is grateful for the con
tinued confidence in the
school’s efforts in progress
ing Christian higher educa
tion as is indicated by a gift
from the Cannon Founda
tion, Inc. of Concord, North
Carolina, for $25,000 —
specifically designated for
use in the building of the
College Center.
The Cannon Foundation
has had a long-standing in
terest and support for many
Christian causes statewide.

This semester has been
an exciting one for the Span
ish Club. If you have won
dered about the strange con-
versatons going on in the
private dining room of the
cafeteria occasionally, the
club has been gathering
there to eat supper and prac
tice their Spanish com
munication skills. During
these informal meetings
ideas are hashed and plans
are developed. Officers
were elected right away with
Sara Lane as President,
Mary Castillo as Vice Presi
dent, John Wyatt as Secre
tary/Treasurer, Susie
Sinclair as Communications
Chairman, and Kim Keyser
as Freshman Represen
tative.
At one meeting a filmstrip
presentation of life in Spain
provided the opportunity to
compare cultural dif
ferences and gain an ap
preciation of the Spanish
heritage.
On another occasion
guest speakers, Elizabeth
and John Sexton, shared
with the group their plans to
combine their nursing and
Spanish speaking skills as
missionaries in Peru, where
they are now situated.
The last meeting was a
Christmas special at the
Hilliard’s home. Slides and
a pinata fiesta were the
focal points of the evening,
followed up with Spanish
Christmas carols and Mrs.
Patsy Hilliard’s own deli
cious refreshments.
Everyone agrees the
club’s semester has been a
great success, and there are
already some exciting plans
being formulated for next
semester. So, when you
. pass by the private dining
room next time and hear
that same lingo, the club ex
tends a welcome to you to
say “iHola!” and to come
join them.
