S6H RULES!
JIM PRITCHARD
Hey, some people are talking aPout
you! Veah man, they’re saying things
that concern you and they're even doing
it behind your backs! Who is doing
this? The S.G.A.Il That's right, the
Student Government Association; our
voice to the Administration and Board
ot Trustees of Montreat-Anderson
College. Whet can we do about this?
For one thing, we can stop them from
talking behind our backs and attend the
scheduled S.G.A. Legislative meetings.
These meetings are held every other
riondey, (began September 12) at 7:00'
p.m. in the Conference Room, 2nd floor
of the Belk Campus Center. These
meetings are open to the student body
end.j!^elcome voiced opinion or written
proposals.
Each class is represented by an
elected President; Freshman - Josh
Pearman (until midterm); Sophomore -
Susan Groves; Junior - John Stiles;
Senior - Greg Ferrell. Every
organization on campus is required to
send a representative to the S.G.A.
legislative meetings. But the more
students attending, the better the
students as a whole can be represented.
INNER-UIEU
JIM PRITCHARD
Well, ! was pleased to see some
Freshmen attend the S.G.A. Legislative
meeting last Monday. Here’s why they
went and what they thought about it;
LAWRENCE Ta\’LOR:' '1 felt that !
needed to become more involved with
some of the Student Activites."
MARK STROUD: "I thought the
issues were handled smoothly and
politically. 1 felt comfortable,
unintimidated, and tree to share my
thoughts and ideas."
"We are more independent this
year," says S.G.A. President Tim Hill.
The executive meetings will begin with
the faculty advisors, Lou Johnson and
Tisa Lewis, assisting in setting up the
meeting and then leaving while the
S.G.A. deals with the issues on their
own "! wanted to get back in office
because ! can be stubborn," says
President Hill. "I'm for the students,
and when ! feel that we are right, •!
won’t back down." The result of the
S.G.A. s attitude can be seen in some of
last year’s accomplishments: 1) the
weannc ot Bermuda-type shorts in
class 2) a pay phone installed in Belk
Campus Center 3) designated smoking
area in cafeteria 4) revision of the
Constitution 5) Library hours added
for more student convenience 6)
pre-registration during the summer 7)
Maintenance improvements on the
athletic field.
The S.G.A. is also in charge ot the
organization of special events, such as
the Blood Drive, Slave Day, and the
Harvest Festival, so we need to give
them all the input and support possible.
Attend the meetings. Run for office.
However you feel led, become involved.
The Student Government Association is
here for the students and is speaking in
our best interests.
PHILIP D. HOLINS: "I wanted to see
how the Student Government of
Montreat-Anderson was run and how I
can improve the system for the
students and faculty of this great
institution that God has bestowed upon
these beautiful mountains of Western
North Carolina."
It might be interesting to note
that both Philip and Mark are planning
on running for Freshman Class
President.
[Editor’s note: Please make an
effort to attend the S.G.A. Legislative
meetings. The S.G.A. is there for we the
students.)

NOTHING TO DO?
ARE YOU KIDDING?
Kevin C. Auman
A few days ago I overheard a
freshman saying, "There’s nothing to do
here". I couldn't belelve It. I thought,
where Is this guy from? DISNEYLAND??
I personally find Montreat and greater
Asheville to be much more exciting
than home, and I'm from Asheboro, home
of the NC Zool
I must admit, I too have suffered
through my share of the weekend slops,
(bed rot - comes from sleeping from
2:00 am Saturday till 4:00pm Sunday)
although I must also say that It
resulted from my own lazyness and lack
of creativity, Just In case you feel a
bout with the slops coming on, allow
me to make some suggestions:
If you haven’t already, climb lookout -
carry some food and feed yourself and
some friends at the top
Climb greybeard - carry lots of food,
Its a long hike
There are fish In Lake Susan - carry
some worms and feed yourself, your
friends and the fish
IT’S fl
SnRLL GROUP
AFTER ALL
GARRETT STANFIELD
You’re lying on your bed storing ot
the ceiling. Another night where the
town of Montreot is reelly rocking . .
except for you. The D.J. on the rodio
isn’t ploying onything of interest over
the radio. The letters forom the mail
have been read. You’ve even studied.
You’re bored out of your gourd and wish
there was something to do!
Sounds like you’re the perfect
candidate tor a small group. Small
groups? What the heck are samll
groups?
According to the S.C.A. leader Liz
Martin, samll groups are groups of
approximately six to ten college
students who meet weekly for
fellowship, fun, end social activities.
It’s a great place to start friendly
relationships between students.
One may be asking, "What sort of
shennanigans do people in samll groups
do? There’s all sorts of activities!
Check out the Blue Ridge Parkway -
carry some food and feed yourself and
your friends, but not the bears
Check out the entertainment section of
the Black Mountain and Asheville news
papers - try not to get food on It
Check out the bulletin boards In Belk,
Gaither, and your dorm - carry some
food and feed those poor poofs
suffering from the slops
Talk to Paula Johnson, she’s the student
activities chairman - offer her some
food
Check out the thrift stores In Black
Mountain and Asheville, you can get
great clothes, already worn out, for
very little money
Experience Huddle House (only after
lOiOOpm) - this Is THE PLACE to feedi
Whatever you do, don’t come crying to
me with your weekend slops, theres
plenty to keep you fed and occupied In
Montveat.
Does going out for pizza sound ok to
you? What does a trip to the bowling
lanes do for you? How about cook outs?
Small skits and lock-ins? Camping
trips? Going out with other S.C.A,
outreaches? If any of this is appealing,
then small groups are for you.
Not only do they entertain the
sutdents, they entertain the soul. They
study the Bible together to receive the
riches therein. They pray for those that
need God’s help. And what they share is
very much worth having.
Sounds like tun? Begging to see
someone who can tell you how to join?
For more information, see Liz Martin in
room 203, McGregor Hall or drop her a
note in M-AC Box 163 You’ll be glad
you joined up
