THIS NIBW COMFUTMim ALHirilBIA THE NEW ALETHEIA What is this you’re holding in your hands? A Montreal - Anderson College Newspaper? You may be saying to yourself, "I haven’t seen one of these since last November.” Well to be exact It was last October that you last saw one of these. So, what’s the problem? Well, for the past few months the Alethela staff has been planning for, ordering, and Installing a new Apple Macintosh computer system. With this hew system the newspaper staff can become almost totally self-sufficient throughout the process of producing a newspaper here on campus. The delay In producing a paper was caused by this major Investment not by any slackness of the staff members. The actual printing of the paper will still be done In Asheville as In the past, but the other stages Involved In putting together a newspaper can finally be contained In the newspaper office of the Belk Center. So what does this mean to you the student? The paper can now serve you better by printing more articles, more accurate articles, more up-to-date articles in a shorter amount of time with more pages per issue. Problems In the past In these areas were due to the use of a typesetter in Black Mountain and the constant traveling and calling back and forth to hopefully get proper accuracy. A box located In the Front Office of Gaither Is open for any comments, suggestions, letters to the Editor, essays, poems, pictures, cartoons, or Ideas that you may have and would like to see printed In the school paper. If there Is something printed In the paper that you disagree with, write a rebuttal. Equal space Is available to all sides of an issue. Thank you for the support given to the Alethela staff and for the many submittances made by the student body and the faculty. Mindy Cllnard, Editor The Alethela fl FEU TIPS FROM fl 11-fl HALL LRDV by Priscilla Maxwell Since the recent fire and power outage In M-A Hall, it has come to my attention that a few tips on what to do during a power outage of fire that are needed. I hope these will be helpful. During a power failure: When you wake up at 4 o’clock In the morning and realize that the power Is off, go and tell all your closest friends that the power Is off. Be sure to wake them ALL up. Next, go and tell your RA They will be eternally grateful that you woke them up out of a deep sleep to tell them that It Is 4 o’clock in the morning and the power is off. They will love you forever for the time report. Now, since all of your friends are up (thanks to you), you must all go downstairs and Inform your RD of the time and the power situation. You will be amazed at the words they use to express their gratitude. You must then go back to bed and lie awake for the next two or three hours until the power comes back on. The next fun activity on the agenda Is to see how long you can go before the blinking of your digital clock drives you absolutely Insane and you have to put the correct time on It. If you’re still awake after this, you can go and wake up your friends, your RA, and your RD and tell them that the power Is back on. Believe me, they will never forget you for thisr Now, during a fire there are some things you absolutely have to be sure to do. In the case of an actual fire, you must be properly' dressed. You must wear either your holiest sweats or your sexiest lingerie. You must also have no two colors on your body that match or even qo together. This Is crucial. Make sure that your have your most miss-matched pair of shoes beside your bed. Be sure to grab a very inappropriate coat when you are running out the door (If it is winter, grab a light windbreaker). Be sure that the night before, you wash every bit of makeup off your face (this step Is optional for guys). This way your natural beauty can shine through for ALL to see. When the RAs come to knock on your door and tell you that this Is the real thing, be sure to tell them to wait a minute. No self-respecting person would go without brushing their teeth or combing their hair. So what If they are the last oerson out of the building, you will look the best-and ha'/e the best breath. We all know how important this Is when our lives are In danger. Wien you finally get out of the building, find your group of friends. This Is the point where the confusion starts. You have been iold to go to the cafeteria by your RAs. The you hear someone who Is just an occupant of the building telling you to go to the BCC. Of course, you should listen to the person who doesn’t know what they are talking about. This only makes sense, right?? When you finally get to the cafeteria, try to hide behind your friends, your bathrobe, or anything else that will, ultimately draw attention to yourself. After all the cute fireman (the ones the RAs stayed behind to flirt with) have left and your are allowed to go back to the dorm, don’t even assume that since the power has been off that must mean that the hot water heater has been off too. Surely It must run on an auxiliary power source. Go ahead and take a shower. (The sounds of the screams simultaneously on the hall will be truly beautiful.) You didn’t think that you could scream at that high note, did you? .It Is amazing the way the water knew how to get so-o-o Ice cold at the precise second you got your head completely lathered with shampoo. Pretty smart of it, huh?? Now you are ready to go the class and tell everyone v/hat a horrible time you had. As you can tell, this Is a totally scarcastic article but with a little bit of truth. You see, I saw every one of these things happen. Next time, please do what your RAs tell you and everything will go a lot smoother. Of course, after all the commotion has died down, a true fire has happened. ■But will the administration do any thing to make our living space more safe?? QUESTION FOR THE DAY? ARE THE HANDRAILS IN GAITHER HALL ACTUALLY PAINTED IN VAUGHN BEIGE? THE VOICE by Scott Wirz When most people think of a government official they think of someone dressed In a business suit and sitting behind a big desk In a plush office. Probably the last place you would expect to find the president of an organization is In a snack bar, cooking pizza and being heckled by the likes of Philip Trees. Even so. If you visit the Snack Bar in the Belk Center you are likely to find the President of the Student Government Association, Liz Martin, doing just that. I talked with Liz and found out a little about the SGA. The SGA is, in Liz’s own words, ’’the voice of the students.” Every member of the student body Is also a member of the SGA but not everyone knows It. For the most part the officers of the SGA do exactly what the name suqqests- they govern the students of the college, listen to What the students have to say, and act as the students’ representatives to the college. If you would like to run for an office In the Student Government Association then It will be of Interest to you that elections for some offices will be held soon and that the candidates are chosen by a nominating committee. If you are not chosen by the nominating committee you can still run If you meet certain qualifications and If you get a petition with 50 of your class members’ signatures on It. As all things have a beginning, so they also have an end, as does this article. Hopefully you now know a little more about the SGA and hopefully what you now know will also be a little more helpful to you. if you feel that the SGA Is doing a good job and especially If you feel that the SGA Is not doing a good job then tell Liz or the other officers about it. After all, how can they represent you if they don’t know how you feel? WE Cmi CHANGE THAT PART OF- THE CONSTITUTION, WE HAVE TO CALL IT MONTREAT - ANDERSON.
