In the hierarchy of MHC power struc
tures, Dean R. Michael O’Brien controls
the three divisions of student develop
ment: housing, college- union, and the
infirmary. In the process are personnel
changes in housing and a structural
change for the union.
Dramatic changes have occurred in
housing. Effective April 1, 1980, the
former Director of Housing, Jim David
son, terminated his MHC duties. No
longer must he commute the distance
from Weaverville to MHC. Instead, he
has assumed his new Western North
Carolina University position as Counse
lor for their Talent Search program, a
federally-funded program for which
he’ll scout in an assortment of jobs to
recruit potential college students who
perhaps had considered finances a block
to a college education. Thus, he'll have
his wished-for opportunity to counsel.
Brad Zabel, former area coordinator
of the apartments and men’s residence
halls, assumed Davidson’s position,
effective April 1, 1980. A native of
Wilmington, Delaware, Zabel came to
MHC in 1978 from Wake Forest with a
BS in psychology and two years resi
dence hall experience. As the new Dir
ector, in conjunction with Dean O’Brien,
he seeks to fill two positions: an area
coordinator for the apartments and men’s
residence halls and an area coordinator
for the women’s residence halls. Holly

CADENZA
Premiere Announced
for April 22
On Tuesday, April 22 at 8 pm in the
Timberline Coffeehouse the 1980
CADENZA will he presented. The cul
mination ot many long, hard hours and
the creative energies of many talented
writers, artists, and photographers,
this year’s CADENZA promises to be an
exceptional issue of the yearly student
publication.
Having received 200 poems, 25 pieces
of prose, and over 130 art and photo
graphy entries, the judges of the 1980
CADENZA had an incredible amount of
excellent material from which to choose.
But the difficult decisions were made
and the winners of prize monies amount
ing to $140 will he announced at the
premiere Tuesday night.
The judges. Dr. Francis Hulme for
literature, Mrs. Verna Bradley for art,
and Mr. Tony Boring for photography,
had to select, in addition to the contents
of the magazine itself, a first placel $25),
a second place ($10), and an honorable
mention in each of the four categories -
poetry, prose, photography, and art.
According to David Perkins, co-editor
of the 1980 CADENZA, ”My co-editor,
Pam Smith, and 1 were very pleased, to
say at least, at the amount of interest
there has been in Cadenza this year. The
quality of the entries has been extremely
high, and we hope that the 1981 CA
DENZA will have as much student su-
port as we have had. Mrs. Hughes, our
advisor, has done one helluva job this
year. We are very proud of both her and
the students who contributed to the
1980 CADENZA.”
Cont. on p.3
the women’s residence halls, will leave
her job at the end of this semester, be
married in June, and move to New Jersey.
Both positions will soon be filled.
Management of the college union is
being reshaped from having two people
of equal level to having a branch with
one director and one bookkeeper. When
the Union opened in 1973, Phil Weast
was the director. At that time, he op
erated the building and the student-
centered programming. After three
years of managing the employees, the
Coffeehouse, and the Snack Bar, he
hired a business manager for a book
keeping position, Niles Hipps.
By the time Weast left, June 1, 1978, he
had hired Niles Hipps, a 1976 MHC grad
uate with a BA in accounting, as union
manager. Hipps and Dean Jane Hol
combe jointly absorbed Weast’s duties.
While seeking additional personnel,
Dean Holcombe split the professional
responsibilities of the college union into
a business manager who would manage
the recreation room, pages, the accounts,
the food services in both the Snack Bar
and tbe Coffeehouse, and the post office;
and a Director of Student Activities who
would coordinate concerts, films, dances.
Coffeehouse activities, and schedule the
facilities. As of February 1, 1979, Cheryl
Parman became the Director of Student
Activities. She came to MHC with her
BS in English from Bowling Green State
University, her MA in guidance and
counseling from Northeast Missouri
State University, and some housing
experience.
However, Dean O’Brien believes the
Union can be managed best under a
Director with increased responsibilities
aided by a bookkeeper, instead of the
present joint responsibility system. The
restructuring will eventually recombine
Ms. Parman’s and Mr. Hipps’ positions.
Ms. Parman, who will be leaving at the
end of the spring semester, intends to
continue working in college student per
sonnel. Mr. Hipps will remain for the
1980-81 school year to assist the new
director of Student Activities/College
Union.
As for the yet unnamed new director.
Dean O'Brien seeks a woman to offset
tbe male-female ratio in student develop
ment. Applicants must have at least an
MA in Student Personnel Services or a
related field. Aside from professional
competence, he seeks somebody who
will be sensitive to and: challenged by
working in student development in a
church-related college nestled in the
mountains of Western North Carolina.
The new director will be chosen soon.
Next year, Mr. Hipps will assist the
director. After next year, the process
will hopefully have resumed a character
similar to its original model: a Directoq
of College Union/Student Activities and
a bookkeeper. '
• •H® turnover in personnel results
in better opportunities for some, an up-
in-the-air status for others, and a new
Director of Student Activities/Colleoe
Union At the helm. Dean O’Brien hates
to see his co-workers depart, but warmlv
welcomes the new faces of his reorganiz-
ed crew.
