Once again. Final Exams
decend on M-AC. The Aletheia
asked several M-AC students
what they thought about their
upcoming exams. Chris Couley
responded, "What are the value
of our exams when most are just
another test, rather than being
comprehensive." However, An
drea Currey disagreed, "If all
exams were comprehensive, it
would send me through the
roof." Jason Baker expressed
the importance of finals, "I think
exams are necessary because we
need to be able to measure how
much we've learned."

Club Developed for College’s Minority Students
By Eric Bush
Recently, SGA approved a new club for Montreat-Anderson, a club
for the college's minority students. The driving force behind the club is
M-AC junior Donna Buggs, an African American^ who said that one of
the purposes of the organization is to increase awareness, understanding,
and appreciation for the many cultures and ethnicities represented in the
student body.
M-AC junior Shon Snipes, also African-American, strongly hopes
that the organization will benefit minorities on campus, saying, "With the
lack of a single black faculty or administration member, the black
students are left without an adequate mentor to look up to. As a result,
the school has a hard time keeping black students here. The same thing
is true for other minorities, and so my hope is that this organization will
be a voice to both the students and the administration.'

tian music, known as RockStock, is

A editorial...
Many Thanks Extended
By Jennifer Gunsch .
I would like to take this opportunity to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed working
as the Aletheia’s editor this semester. I have really learned a lot. I not only learned how
to layout the paper, but I feel that I have learned how to manage my staff more efficiently.
I also believe that I have received some very valuable experience.
I would like at this time to thank all of my staff, who have worked extremely hard
and dilligenUy to publish the Aletheia once a week, breaking a school record. I want to
thank them for giving up their weekends so they could come and slave over the computer.
I really appreciate you ^ putting up with my hysterics when deadline was coming up and
the paper wasn't even halfway finished, but as you know we survived. For all of you who
I have offended, I sincerely apologize. I really did not intend to make enemies of anyone.
I would like to thank Kevin Hord for all of his hard work printing the paper, and
I would like to thank him for making sure the Aletheia came out on time. I know he put
in many long hours just to make that happen.
Next I would like to thank Brian Fuller for pushing me to my limit so I could become
abettereditorand person. I know that sometimes I really got utterly frustrated at you,
but I feel as if I am a better person for it.
I would also like to thank the Student Affairs Office for aU their help in
publishing the paper.
I would alsolike to show my gratitude to the Publications Board for letting |
