SGA PLANS YEAR
The Student Government Asso
ciation met September 14-16 to dis
cuss “Goals for the Year.” Bo Lowry
called the 1967 SGA to order. He
then led an open discussion of
what could be done to improve stu
dent-faculty relationships. Among
the goals discussed were improving
relationships with the administrat
ion, creating more respect for the
Honor Code, and placing emphasis
on student rules and regulations.
The SGA continued planning for
the year by reviewing the student
handbook and making plans for the
Freshman Orientation Program. A
Rat Committee was appointed head
ed by Bill Nanney. Plans were com
pleted concerning the setting up of
brother-sister dorms.
Many hours of hard work have
been spent in making the Student
Government of Montreat more ef
fective and profitable. Our leaders
have already shown their willingness
to work for us in planning the best
year ever at Montreat.

—Ya' Haint Seen
Nothin' Yet
Thursday, September 21, 1967 was
the beginning of the fifty-second
year of Montreat - Anderson Col
lege. The opening proclmation was
enthusiastically announced by Miss
Elizabeth Hoyt and followed by the
invocation by Dean Howard Kester.
Dr. Ivan B. Stafford introduced
the guests who welcomed the stu
dents to Montreat. Mrs. Sue Solomon
spoke for the Town of Black Moun
tain and Earl Eller for the City of
Asheville. Also recognized were re-
presentives from the Board of Trus
tees and the Alumni Association.
Montreat - Anderson’s most out
standing scholars were introduced
and given an invitati 'u to join the
Mu Lamda Chapter of Phi Theta Kap
pa. Those recognized were Flo Ram
sey, Susan Rea, Jenny Ching, Martha
Shirlen, Diana Ball, and Calvin Can
non.
The Convocation address by Dr. C.
Grier Davis gave special emphasis to
a “'developing” Montreat - Anderson.
The amount of gifts and grants to
pay for our new women's residence
hall, science building, library, and
athletic field was announced. As Dr.
Davis said, “What youth needs and
desperately needs is something to
live by, some deep convictions that
life has meaning and purpose, that
there is a Great Design behind the
maelstrom of events, that life is
worth living, the sweat, the toil, the
tears That is the purpose of
a Christian Liberal Arts College....
the purpose of Montreat - Anderson
College.”
What followed Dr. Davis’ speech
was perhaps one of the most inspir
ational events of the year. The ring
ing of the bell on Gaither lawn as it
echoed throughout the hidden valley
of Montreat, asking that God be with
us through a year of learning, de
veloping and understanding.
