Homecoming Plans
Color Day,
Picnic,
Parades, And
More Sceduled
By Rhonda Baity
Hilltop Staff Writer
There are many Homecoming activities planned for
students to participate in and have fun with this weekend.
Today (Thursday) is Color Day. Students should wear
blue and gold to show their school spirit. At 6:30 on the
intramural field, students should come out and lend their
support to their favorite Powder Puff FootbaD Team. How
exciting it will be to see the girls play football while the boys
cheer them on! At 8:30, a Bonfire will be held. Cosmo will
be the special guest, and the Dance Team will have a small
performance.
On Friday, there will be a Pride Picnic from 11 a.m. to
3 p.m. Brian Huskey will be attending; there will be a “Dunk
the Dogs” Booth and a Predator Paint. Curvature artist,
Brent Brown, will be on hand for portraits. At 8 p.m., the
Lion’s Growl will be held in the football stadium. Everyone
is invited to come out, lend support and spirit to the football
team, and just simply have fun.
Saturday will be the busiest day. From 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.,
the Decorating of the Campus will be held. Decorations
can be picked up at the Loft. At 10 a.m., the Mars Hill Choir
will perform in Moore Auditorium. At 11 a.m.. The Bailey
Mountain doggers will perform. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m..
Video Buttons will be available. Everyone is encouraged to
come out and watch the parade at 1 p.m. At 2 p.m., the
Alumni pre-game show will be held, and at 2:30 the football
game will begjn. For Homecoming, Mars Hill will play
Wingate. Students should come out and have fim. During
half-time, the Homecoming Court will be presented, and
there will be a band show. To end the fabulous festivities,
a Block Party will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. in front of
the Union.
All students are encouraged to participate in each of
these activities to have fun and show spirit for our school.
This Year’s Theme...
The theme for this year’s Homecoming will be
"Celebrating the War Years." The theme was chosen to
recognize and honor the WWII era alumm.
This era was marked by many Mars Hill students who
were not able to graduate with their own class, because of
heading off to war. Since reunions generally only allow that
reunion class to participate, the war meant several
wouldn’t have the chance.
So, Henry Huff (class of ’43) wanted to hold a special
war reunion. Also, the Alumni Office also decided to allow
people from the class to graduate 1 year before and one
year after to join. Doing so would mean that those students
who couldn’t graduate with their class could still have a
reunion with them.
A graffiti wall, complete with all organizations' names
has been one of the additions that have made the Loft one of Mars Hill’s best night
spots.
Loft-y Ideas For Student Club
By M. Scott Roten
Hilltop Editor
Student involvement makes a difference. Take Dane Heath and The Loft for
instance. This renovated only gymnasium has been changed from a place where there
is a stage and a few tables around to a hot student night club.
Loft co-manager. Heath, said the changes weren’t easy, but came with long hours
of hard labor for all those involved. The team has turned the Loft into a flashy, fast
club for students.
Among the changes is a circular bar which is more "feasible," as Heath said than
the old long bar. Graffiti walls, such as the one shown above, which has nearly every
campus organization’s name painted on it, have spiced up the room. There is even a
wall with fish painted that says, "please feed the fish."
A new philosophy has also been renovated. Heath said the club was more
committed than ever to making a night spot for students to enjoy, from freshmen
orientation to senior graduation. They have already sponsored several events and have
opened the club every Monday night for football and buffalo wings. The premier night,
the ten cent wings were sold in just imder one and a half hours to the packed house.
Still on the agenda is opening the Loft for a couple of other nights a week to offer
a spot for studying or relaxing that isn’t 30 minutes away in Asheville. In the future,
there will be a juke box, popcorn and peanuts to enjoy while students watch t.v. or just
relax.
Heath and his team have really made a difference.
The Loft is looking for old memorabilia to complete the Loft. Please contact Dane
Heath if you can help. Please, no street signs, for legal purpose.
Easing Commuter
Parking, Alcohol On
Top Of Agenda For
Safety And Security
sy
Hilltop Editor
Craig Goforth, director of Safety and
Security for the college, announced
several measures that are going into effect
to ease commuter travels, and also some
new plans to help inform students about
alcohol law changes.
Commuters have openly complained
about parking situations for some time.
m
Goforth said these measures were
direct response to those complaints.
“We’re trying to help everyone
involved,” said Goforth. He said the
measures would go as follows:
H Allowing commuters to park in the
lower Fox parking lot. Males students
that live on campus will be ticketed, even
if going to sports practices, for using this
lot.
