TAILBACK TONY GARLAND SETS A SCHOOL CAREER SCORING RECORD WITH 157 POINTS. District-26 and Bi-District XII Crowns Are Ours Photo by Terry Boisverve The Lady Mountain Lion Volleyball team won the District 26 Tournament by defeating Pem broke State University for the Championship. The Lady Mountain Lions defeated Catawba College Friday night (November 8), setting up a Saturday morning (November 9) match with High Point College. The team defeated High Point 11-15, 15-12, 15-11, and 15-10, to fight their way to the Champion ship game. Following the first game loss, 10-15, Mars Hill fought back 15-4, 15-7, and 15-12, to win the Cham pionship of District 26. An outstanding effort was ex hibited by the entire team, with three members receiving special recognition. Cindy Hodge, Denise Groh, and Lavonda Wagner were named to the All-Tournament team, and Lavonda was named Most Valuable Player. By CHRIS MARTIRE Sports Feature Before Mars Hill’s thrashing of Lenoir-Rhyne 45-7, the Lion foot ball team was ranked number 14 in the country. With this victory Mars Hill should move up in the rankings to be among the top 12 teams. The victory ws essential in the Lions quest for post season play. In order for Mars Hill to quality for the NAIA Division 1 playoffs, the Lions must finish among the top 12 teams in the country. Teams are ranked by 16 coaches of NAIA teams from 4 different geographic areas. This yar the raters have not given the Lion football team its due. For example, when the Lions beat Presbyterian College 13-7, the Blue Hose was nationally ranked, who the week before playing Mars Hill, upset Elon which was the number one team in the country. For that victory Mars Hill moved up only one notch. Part of the problem with the slow move in the rankings is the feeling by rival coaches that the Lions are a Cinderella Club and that some team will knock them off. The SAC-8 conference is con sidered the best conference in the NAIA because it has produced 4 national champions in the last 5 years. Even if the Lions win the SAC-8 conference, they will not be assured a play off birth. If the Lions win only 1 out of the last 2 games, however, they would win the SAC-8 conference, but would not be assured a playoff bid unless they were ranked in the top 12. It has been a season of firsts for the Lions, if any team can win with their backs against the wall the Lions can. One sure thing the Mars Hill Football Team can count on; their fans are behind them giving sup port in proving to the country that the Lions are a team of destiny. McAnear Named Director Mrs. Ann McAnear of Ridge crest, N.C., has been named Direc tor of Financial Aid at Mars Hill College, according to Dr. Smith Goodrum, Dean for Admission, Recruitment, and Financial Aid. Mrs. McAnear, who joined the MHC staff November 1, has been financial aid director at Warren Wilson College since 1980 and was financial aid officer at Montreat- Anderson College from 1976-80. Well qualified for the position, she attended Texas Technical University and Western Carolina University, and has been certified as an aid administrator by the association and has conducted regional workshops for high school students and their parents regarding the financial aid process. “It is reassuring,” noted Dr. Goodrum, “to have someone with Mrs. McAnear’s experience in financial planning for families to help us maintain our momentum in this crucial area.” Active in community affairs in Buncombe County, Mrs. McAnear has been president of the Memorial N.C. Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, Inc. Over the past nine years, she has chaired several committees for the Mission Hospital Auxiliary from 1974-76, and from 1977 until early this year, was a member of the hospital’s board of directors. She also served as the board’s cor porate secretary from 1978-79. Her activities also include char ing the program committee for the N.C. Baptist State Convention for 1984 and 1985, and she is the church organist for the First Bap tist Church of Old Fort. Mrs. McAnear takes charge of a financial aid program which will dispense more than $3 million in various forms of aid this year to nearly 70 percent of the student body at Mars Hill. The team (26-9) advanced to Wilmington, Delaware on November 16 for Bi-District com petition, and captured the Bi- District XII Volleyball Champion ship with a straight set victory over Wilmington College (Delaware).

CURTAIN RISING ON Antigone By HILLARY PARSONS Features Contributor The original Antigone was writ ten about 2400 years ago by the Green philosopher Sophocles. The subject matter is as pertinent today as it was 2400 years ago. Our ver sion is a modern adaptation by Anouilh, a French playwrite. Antigone, our heroine, is caught in a no-win situation after her brothers kill each other in a battle for the throne. Creon, her uncle and now the king, buries one brother with honors while the other is left to rot. Anyone caught attempting to bury this man will be put to death. Antigone sees this action as a personal sin against her brother and the gods. Creon treats it as a political problem, and will not back down. Antigone is deter mined to bury her beloved brother despite any political edicts. This is the central conflict of our play which precipitates many exciting twists and turns in the lives of the heroes and heroines. Come and find out who wins the battle for truth and honor in Owen Theatre, Thursday, December 5-10 at 8 p.m. There will also be a 2:30 matinee on Sunday, December 8. The box office will open on December 2 from 1-5 p.m. through the run of the show. This, the second production of the year, promises to be an exciting drama that no one will forget.
