In the November
15, 1973 issue, the
Hilltop made a mis
take in an article
concerning David Gas-
person and Tim Haden
who were nominated
for a Danforth Fel
lowship Grant. In
the article, we stat
ed that these two
seniors had received
the grant. After
the paper went to
press we found out
that they had been
nominated and are not
yet recipients of
the grant. To be
nominated for the
grant is quite an
honor and the Hilltop
wishes them best of
luck as the Danforth
Fellowship Foundation
reviews their appli
cation for the re
lease of the final
recipients to be an
nounced, in April. ■
program. "We want
the student to be in
a position other than
a passive one where
all a student does is
observe the procedur
es," she commented.
Each student is re
quired to complete a
six months field ex
perience before he
can be awarded the
B.S.W. Degree. They
are required to live
in the community
where they work.
Here they learn of
the availability or
lack of, resources
and agencies availa
ble to deal with the
adolescent's prob
lems .

Cryder on Tour
in N.C. & Florida
Richard L. Cryder,
instructor of Music
and director of the
brass and trombone
ensemble, is on a re
cital tour during the
January mini-mester
period. Cryder will
be presenting selec
tions from Vivaldi,
Davidson, Saint-
Saens, Morel and Tak-
acs. Cryder will be
accompanied by Jeff
McConnaughey, a sen
ior music major from
Amelia, Virginia.
A native of Massi-
lon, Ohio, Cryder
completed his under
graduate work at Kent
State University in
1968. In 1971 he was
awarded the Master's
degree in performance
at KSU while playing
first trombone with
the university's sym
phonic band and brass
choir and was a solo
ist with the KSU
band. He has studied
with Paul J. Wallace,
Lewis Van Haney, and
Alan Kofsey of the
Cleveland Orchestra.
Cryder's tour be
gan on January 4 and
will run until the
end of the mini-mest-
er term. The tour
will cover North Car
olina and Florida.

the number that can
be involved with a
field experience to
seven per semester,
and the student is
paid a stipend of
$300 per month while
working. "This 'lea
rning through doing'
technique is probably
the most effective
way of aquainting the
student with the work*
ing world, as opposed
to the student world
they have known ,"
continues Miss Drisk
ell. It is here that
the students learn
how to implement the
professional methods
they have learned in
the classroom, and
how to go beyond the
intuitive feeling
they may have about
the people they
serve.
Another aspect
that is unique to the
college's program is
the heavy use of
consultants for an i-
nitial session before
they leave for their
field experience^ and
have a mid-point ses
sion after three mon
ths. The students
visit the campus for
one day every other
week and a field in
structor visits them
on alternating weeks.
Both Driskell and
Anderson are excited
at what the initial
group accomplished.
" One of the social
workers at the Swann
anoa center told me
that they had never
had any field place
ment people who had
involved themselves
more than the Mars
Hill students, " com
mented Driskell. In
Yancey County, the
students working with
the Mental Health De
partment completely
developed a recrea
tion and tutoring
program to help those
whose behavior pat
terns indicated they
were heading for
trouble. "The stu
dents there did this
completely on their
own," noted Anderson,
"which is one of the
goals we are looking
for. Further down
the road," he added,
"we are co-operating
with the Madison
County commissioners
to apply for a grant
which would allow es
tablishment of an a-
chievement house
here."
This would allow
the students and the
professionals, work
ing in conjunction
with city and county
officials to approach
the adolescents who
are headed for trou
ble and have a place
with a home atmos
phere and a profes
sional staff where
problems could be i-
dentified and solved.
Mr. Hal Johnson,
manager of the new
Northwestern Bank in
Marshall, presented
Dr. Bentley a check
for $1,000 last week.
The check was pre
sented as an unre
stricted gift by the
Northwestern Bank to
the college's devel
opment campaign. The
total for the grant
and the gift totals
$61,000 for the col
lege.
