A-B Tech Reaccredited
The Southern Association of Col
leges and Schools today listed
Asheville-Buncombe Technical Col
lege among the colleges reaffirmed
for a ten-year period. The announce
ment was made during the College
Delegate Assembly Forum of the an
nual meeting of the Association being
held in Atlanta.
President Harvey L. Haynes, upon
hearing of the reaffirmation, said,
"Being an associate member of the
Southern Association establishes a
mutual relationship between us and
other colleges and universities since
we are all accredited by the same
standards." Following the original
accreditation in 1968, A-B Tech of
ficials were able to negotiate transfer
agreements with senior colleges and
universities throughout the region.
Membership in a regional association
is generally required as part of the
accreditation process with other
agencies.
In the reaffirmation procedure,
'acuity, staff, administrators, and
ooard members collectively conduct
an institutional self-study. In this pro
cess college committees investigate
ten academic areas, including in
struction, faculty, physical facilities,
purpose, library functions, and col
lege administration and organisation.
The internal investigation, once
completed, is reviewed by peers
chosen from colleges throughout the
Southeast. In April of 1964, the Self
Study Visitation team spent three
days on the A-B Tech campus inter
viewing students, faculty, and ad
ministrators to determine the ac
curacy of the internal self-study and
the ability of the College to continue
to fulfill its purpose.
Both internal investigation and the
visiting team produced recommenda
tions for improvements to the College
operation. The College has responded
to the recommendations and will con
tinue to work toward realizing im
provements in all areas noted.
A current priority in SACS reaffir
mation endeavor is to ascertain that
colleges are effectively planning for
the future.

Life is hard. There's no way around
that one. No matter how good we are.
rich we are, or who we are, life does
not come cheaply. With every
measure of good, comes some bit ol
hardship.
In the face of the hardships of life, il
is common to sometimes feel over
whelmed by it all. There are timet
when we need help from folks arounc
us. That's not a reflection on us, bul
on life. It s just not possible to live oui
way through the ups and downs of life
without benefit of a helping hand
along the way.
We should not be faulted fw
stumbling on occasion. We learn from
a process# of trial and error. In get
ting too hung up on the error, we car
get afraid of trying Mistakes anc
such are a natural part of living
When we give in to the hardship
hbwever, then we are talking about
another matter. There is no one whe
can do justice to the task of taking
