M-AC
Grads in the
"Real"
World
By Matt Haney
Montreat-Anderson Col
lege: a special place, tucked
into a smaH valley in the moun
tains of western North Carolina.
A place where students can learn
in a variety of subjects and
fields, receive information from
the perspective professors and
administrations, and be led by
the Spirit of God.
But what happens after
Montreat-Anderson— how and
what do graduates do? To an
swer these questions Aletheia
called some of M-AC's recent
graduates to see where they are
and what they are doing.
The earliest alumni that the
Aletheia contacted was Mindy
Clinard. Clinard was a member
of the first fully accredited four
year class to graduate from Mon
treat-Anderson, a class of 21
members.
Clinard is now the Public
Relations officer at Montreat-
Anderson College, a position she
has held for two and a half years.
When asked about her job, Cli
nard responded, "I love what I'm
doing, and what makes it even
better is the opportunity for re
lationships with students. I take
a lot of pride working for my
alma matter. Sometimes I feel

Young Cavaliers Face Challenge
By Shalimar Kinsey
On Wednesday, March 24, the
Cavaliers' baseball team played a
road game at Carson-Newman
College. The Cavaliers played
hard against Carson-Newman's
more experienced team. Although
they gave it their all, the final score,
a 10-0 loss, was somewhat disap
pointing. A Saturday away game at
Tennessee-Wesleyan College was
cancelled because of rain.
The Cavaliers' baseball team
will be facing King College twice
within the next two weeks. The first
game will be played today at 3 pm at
M-AC's own Newell Field. King
College will host the second match
up on Saturday, April 3. Saturday's
meeting, a doubleheader, will be a
challenge for both teams. The Cava
liers feel that these games against
King will likely be highly competi
tive since King is also a young
team like M-AC. Playing the sched
ule of a four-year college with 20
freshmen and sophomores, two
juniors, and no seniors. Coach Darin
Chaplain feels that the team is "do
ing good, with where we're at."
The Cavaliers will play at East
ern Tennessee State. Eastern Ten

presents a higher
level of competition
which will be an im
pressive step up for
the Cavs. With more
money, more talent,
and definitely more
students (8-10,000),
this division I team
will offer the Cava
liers some new ex
periences. Having
already faced and
beaten one NCAA
Division I team,
Duquesne Univer
sity, there are un
doubtedly some
high hopes among
the Cavaliers' team
members.
When asked to
make a statement
about the Cavaliers'
season as a whole.
Coach Chaplain re
sponded, "I've been
real pleased with our
competitiveness and the way we've
played our games. We need to start
swinging the bats and thinking of
the team as hanging together, then

like I'm still learning from the
faculty and staff like I did as a
student, and that's important to
me.
Clinard also adds, "My
years at M-AC taught me a lot
about others and about myself,
how to live with and understand
others. That is just as important
as academic training when you
get out into the work force. If I
could give a word to the stu
dents, I would encourage every
student to take full advantage of
the opportunities for growth at
M-AC."
Chris Blair to Perform for Coffeehouse
By Kenneth Graham, Jr
On April 1, at 8pm, McGregor

Next the Aletheia contacted
Stephanie Renegar, a 1989 two year
graduate who is now a fifth grade

When asked what she misses

"Friends. I met my very best
friend at Montreat. I miss the scen
ery and the professors."
Kevin Auman, now the music
director at the largest Christian ra
dio station in the Southeast, WMIT
- WFGW, graduated in 1992. When
asked how Montreat-Anderson
prepared him for his career
Kevin responded, "1 absolutely
had to develop good communica
tion skills. 1 am certain that the
skills developed at Montreat-
Anderson enabled me to obtain my
job. I know that 1 wouldn't have
my job without those skills."
