The Seasoning of Servanthood...
Students Attend Informative Seminar
By Jeff Lang
S.A.L.T. attempted to incor
porate the radical philosophy of
servant leadership into M-AC stu
dents during a three day long em
phasis, held Thurday through Sat
urday, January 19-22.
The S.A.L.T. anacronym
stands for Servanthood and Lead
ership Training, a concept that
President William Hurt and the
Montreat-Anderson College fac
ulty have committed to instilling
in the College's students. It is a
clarion call to follow the example
and prescriptions of Jesus to lead
by serving and to be exalted by
seeking humility.
During the Servanthood and
Leadership Training emphasis
weekend, a number of business pro
fessionals gave rousing enjoiners
to students to integrate ethics and
integrity with the workplace. They
attempted this by pointing to their
own successes as Christians, lead
ing by serving in a hostile secular
business context. The finale of the
week was an interactive retreat held
at the Cove founded by the
Reverand Billy Graham.
SGAPresident Jeffrey Rear
don asserted, "At the retreat, stu
dents were involved in exploring
leadership and personality types
and developing lead
ership skills." Over
all, attending students
reacted positively to
S.A.L.T.
However, some
of the students have
levelled criticisms at
the philosophy. Fresh
men Environmental
Science major Derek
Sims expressed,
"When the topic of ser
vant leadership is dis
cussed, I wonder if we
view Jesus as only a side issue relating
to the main concept, or if He is truly

New Policy
Installed Cracks
Down on Smokers
By Jeff Lang
It's here. After several years
of rumors about the impending
regulations, Montreat has a new
restrictive smoking policy. In an
effort to protect the rights of non-
smokers to an environment free of
harmful tobacco smoke, the SGA
enacted a set of get-tough guide
lines which setup specific areas in
which "lighting up" may occur.
Smoking outside of the new
smoking niches will result in puni
tive measures by both M-AC and
the town of Montreat. There are
only eight outdoor areas, in addi
tion to 5th floor M-A Hall and 3rd
floor Davis, alloted for smoking.
These areas include the wooden
porch off of the cafeteria facing
Lake Susan and the parking lot
behind Davis. Students may also
smoke in designated areas in front
of the Library and on the front deck
outside of the Belk Campus Cen
ter. The College will issue verbal
warnings for first offenders, with a
$200 fine for each subsequent vio
lation. The town begins fines at
$100, increasing to $500 by the
third violation.
Student reactions to the new
policy are mixed. Sophomore
Wayne Strojie lamented, "I think
it's ridiculous that you can't smoke
in the road...smoke rises!" Junior
Marla Henderson, an Outdoor Rec
reation major, exclaimed, "I think
breathing is wonderful!"

lous three-point basket in the last
thirty seconds of the first half, to

point lead, which led to the win.
The leading scorers for the
Cavs were: Brad Gabriel with 23
points, Travis Ross with 21, Rod
ney Scott with 19, and Kevin Laws
with 12.
Leading scorers for Bryan
were Mark Pack, who had 17 points,
Paul Urkhart with 14, and Jason
Sparring who shot 16 of Bryan's
points.
Sophomore and point-guard
Jonathan Bennett exclaimed, "We
played hard the entire game, but our
execution was poor the first couple of
minutes of the game. Fortunately, we
turned things around in the first half
and never looked back." Spectator
Larry Gritton commented on the fans
that cheered for the Cavs, "I think the
baseball team is an excellent motiva
tor for the Cavaliers."
On February 1, the Cavs will
challenge Virginia Intermont at
McAlister Gym. Virginia Intermont is
an independant Baptist college, with
an enrollment of approxiamately 521
students. It is located in Bristol, Vir
ginia and has a 16-acre campus. The
college was founded in 1884.
On February 3, the team will
travel to Johnson City, Tennessee,
to face Milligan College. Milliagan
is also a Christ-centered school,
who's motto is "Christian Educa-
tion--the hope of the world." The
team is in the same conference as
M-AC.

The Lady Cavaliers went up
against Bryan College Lions from
Dayton, Tennessee, at home last
Saturday night. The Lady Cavs
fought hard throughout the entire
game to retain a solid lead to win
over the Lions 82-63. Chris Hil-
gers best
described
the game
when he
said, "The
Lady Cavs
trounced
on the Lady
Lions and turned them into pussy
cats."
Number 14, Shelly Thompson,
lead the ladies in scoring with 22
points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2
turnovers. She was right on target
during the second half with her
three point shot. Other leading
scorers were Amy Harkelroad with
17 points and 11 rebounds, Kristy
Woody with 11 points and 6 re
bounds, and Amy Baker with 10
points and 5 assists. Coach Dana
Bostic said that every one played a
great game.
The Lady Cavs toughest con
tender Tuesday night was number
24, Mandy Roberts. The All-
American scored 38 points the last
time they faced the Cavs and aver
ages 30 points per game. Players
Amy Baker and Erin Broome were
assigned the task of keeping her
under control and they succeeded,
only allowing her
15 points, way be
low her average.
Coach Bostic
stated that the la
dies were playing
well as a team and
have been working
hard with the confidence that it
takes to win.
The ladies are in an upward
swing, winning five out of their
last seven games. With only eight
games left in regular conference
play, the Lady Cavaliers have an
excellent shot at making it into the
Conference playoffs. The top eight
teams of the Conference compete
for the championship and Coach
Bostic feels confident that her team
can make it, if they continue to
play well and as a team. It would
be a great achievement for the Lady
Cavaliers to qualify for the finals,
being it only their second year in
the conference.
The Lady Cavs have a week to
rest up and practice hard for their
next game against VirginiaTnter-
mont at home, February 1, at 6pm.
The ladies were defeated by two
when they last contended against
Virginia Intermont. Coach Bostic
stated that it will be a "tough
game", but if the ladies continue to
play a "smart offense" and "good
defense" it shouldn't be difficult to
pull out the win. The Lady Cavs
will then travel two hours to Ten
nessee on February 3, to vie against
Milligan College at 6pm.
The Lady Cavaliers will have
an exciting road to the playoffs
ahead of them and with most of
thier last eight games on the road,
it will not be an easy journey for
them.
While some students had
strong opinions about the policy,
others had nothing much to con
tribute concerning the issue, "I
don't smoke, so I don't care,"
yawned disinterested student Mark
Bolick.
However, student Dave
Walters, Jr. defended, "I don't think
it is fair to people that smoke. As
long as they are outside and are
away from public entrances, they
should be allowed to smoke wher
ever they want."
