Dr. Bentley is our school’s president, and whether you dislike him or his policies, he deserves your respect. He has done a great deal to help this college and make it possible for you to get a good, quality education. Likewise, the cafeteria is there for you. Painting on its walls isn’t going to make the food any better. To make matters worse the students are let ting such incidents take place without doing anything about it! The ultimate result is that vandal ism such as this must be repaired -which costs money. Know where that money comes from? YOU! In the form of higher tuition and fees. So, not only do our school’s facili ties get damaged, but you are made to pay the price for someone else’s immaturity. We need to work to gether in order to prevent further occurences of such acts of destruc tion. How? If you see someone painting on the walls, damaging a telephone, tearing up the furniture in one of the dorm lobbies, etc., REPORT IT to any R.A. or R.D., or to Dean O’Brian.

C O Y T E B K I U L 44 IN THE BLACK ” BENTLEY By JOHN CAMPBELL Hilltop Advisor When the Mars Hill College Board of Trustees met for their semi-annual business meeting Saturday, December 1, college president Dr. Fred B. Bentley presented them with a report card showing all “A’s.” Among the several items of business the 36-member body con sidered was a financial report which showed that not only did the college finish the 1983-84 “in the black,” but was able to carry a small surplus into the current year. “Our programs have succeeded very well,” Bentley noted, “and many of the problems of two years ago have been solved.” The trus tees also reviewed the $350,000 two-for-one matching grant the college received earlier this year from the Mellon Foundation. The grant will result in a $1-million plus endowment for faculty and curriculum development. Bentley also presented invitations from two major foundations to submit proposals for grants, which he termed an additional indication of the college’s academic and finan cial strength. The report on enrollment also showed encouraging statistics. The college is experiencing a “minimal” effect from the shrink ing pool of available college age students, according to Dr. Smith Goodrum, associate dean for ad missions. Applications and paid deposits for the coming year are “marginally” ahead of last year’s figures, and certain areas targeted for recruitment, particularly out- of-state and international students, have shown the largest increase. The college continues to draw strongly from traditional areas within the state commented Goodrum. The board welcomed nine in coming trustees to new terms dur ing the meeting. Eight of the in coming trustess have served previous terms on the board, while one will be serving his first term. They include Ed D. Beach, vice- president for finance of Broyhill Industries in Lenoir; J. V. Corbin, a real estate broker-developer from Asheville; Mildred Pendergrass, a retired Mars Hill businesswoman; Myron C. Peterson, chairman of the board of Sky City, Inc.; Jimmy Piercy of Hickory, president of Hardwood Sales, Inc.; Edwin D. Powell of Mount Holly, a produc tion manager with Duke Power Company; Dr. Robert E. Seymour, pastor of Binkley Memorial Baptist Church in Chapel Hill; and J. Euel Taylor of Waynesville, owner-operator of Taylor Motor Co. The new mem ber of the board, serving his first term is Louis G. Christian, an ex ecutive with Sorensen-Christian Industries of Raleigh. James B. Wilson was installed as the newest member of the college’s Board of Advisors. Wilson, a Black Mountain resident, is ex ecutive editor of the Asheville Citizen-Times. In other items of business, the board elected new officers for the coming year. They include Dr. W. Otis Duck, Mars Hill physician, chairman; Benjamin F. Knott of Charlotte, vice-chairman; Mrs. Elizabeth Baker, a public health nurse from Marshall, secretary; and Samuel F. Rutland of Char lotte, treasurer. Other business that the board completed included the appoint ment of Claude Vess as business manager of the college. Vess, who has been internal auditor for Mars Hill since 1982, replaces Violette Henderson who is retiring this month. Vess holds a bachelor’s degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and is a Certified Public Accountant.
