C. 2:30 The 1969 Montreat-Anderson tennis team opened its season on March 28, when it traveled to Boiling Springs to meet Gardner-Webb. The Cavalier netters will be seeking to improve upon a good 6-2 record of a year ago. Three new opponents are included in an eleven match schedule that runs through May 14. The new opponents are Gardner-Webb,Mitchell, and the Appalachian State Freshman team. Prospects would seem bright with the top four players of 1968 returning for another season. Joe Fuller, number one a year ago, heads the list of returnees v/hich includes his twin. Gene, who was undefeated in singles play at number two last year. Bill Ratteree, who was number three, could challenge the Fullers for a higher position this year. The fourth returnee is Steve Austin who contributed heavily to last year's fine record. Several newcomers are battling for the remaining positions on the squad. They are: Larry McSween, Ghanshyam Udani, John McCrea, Kenny Chow, Bill Amos, and Charles Lance. Poverty cannot be understood or measured by bare backs and empty bellies; it invades and finally conquers the whole core of existence and being, it benumbs the hand, it fetters the mind, it chills the heart, it cor rodes the spirit and makes hope a dweller in dark and forbidding places. It must be measured by all the things which make human beings human, decent, noble and sublime - as integral parts of the human race and the Family of Man Howard Kester GO GO GO R.

The Seminar earns three semester hours of academic credit. LETTER The thing about Montreat that has impressed me most, and has been most meaningful to me this year is its unique concern and commitment to the individual student. This commitment is manifested in most areas of our life as a community. We see it in faculty members who go out of their way to be with students in places other than the classroom and thus get to know them as real persons instead of mere students. We have an administration which student^ for the most part, feel free to approach and who respond to their needs by structuring a relevant curriculum and by acting as effective counselors. Last but not least we have a student body whose members are committed to one another. While they have rules none are ironclad and the Honor Court is willing to disregard the prescribed measures in order to benefit the individual. It is this type of commitment that both demands and enables those of us who are not students to relate to them on a personal basis. This type of mutual respect between student and non-student gives those of us who are involved a rich experience. It better enables all of us to learn, to teach, and to Blanche Morrison
