SGA
Montreat-Anderson has a limited
self-government. In order to pro
vide a smoother function of the Col
lege community, a Student Govern
ment Association was established.
The SGA is here to serve the best
interests of the student, school,
and community of MAC,
The Student Government Asso
ciation had several projects for
first semester of the 1973-74 aca
demic year. The projects inncluded:
1) A Blood Drive was held and
MAC gave 105 pints.
2) Thanksgiving Baskets ‘were
distributed among needy families
in the Black Mountain-Montreat
community.
3) A system for synchronizing
times at MAC was discussed. The
school has now provided clocks
throughout the campus.
The SGA has discussed the pro
posed projects for the 1974 aca
demic year. They include:
1) Merchant’s Appreciation Day
for the merchants in Black Moun
tain.
2) Teacher Appreciation Day.
3) Repair of the Bell Tower.
4) Longer Gymnasium and Li
brary hours.
The SGA encourages the student
body of MAC to make your
thoughts, requests, questions, and
ideas known to your representa
tives and SGA officers. We hope to
help make- your year at MAC a
happy land rewarding experience.

ATHLETES
- BE PREPARED !
mac’s WRA has really been
busy this year, and has a busy
schedule planned for the remain
der of this semester.
The girls involved in WRA
have already spent some time on
soccer and volleyball. They have al
most completed their session of
basketball, and the basketball
tournaments. Time permitting,
WRA will again play volleyball in
March. Softball is scheduled for
April.
All girls at MAC are a part of
WRA, and their help and support
is needed. Any girl who partici
pates in any sport will receive a
certficate at the sports banquet.
Trophies will also be given out
at the sports banquet, one to a
sophomore and one to a freshman.
The class that wins the ALL STAR
game and the Free-Throw Tour
nament will receive a trophy.
Participation has usually been
good, and all girls are encouraged
to continue to support WRA. 'The
WRA members would like to thank
those that have helped thus far,
especially third floor of MA-Hall,
but remind all girls at MAC that
to participate in a sport one must
first be there for it.
SKIING
UPS & DOWNS
SKIING—UPS & DOWNS
Skiing classes for MAC students
at.Sugar Mountain began Janu
ary 14th. A group of about eighty
students excitedly piled on two
Trailways buses that afternoon
— rain and all — gung-ho for the
highest ski slope, whether they
knew how to ski or not.
Once at the ski lodge, spirits
were dampened further with the
realization that the group was late
for the early classes and had to
wait for three more hours to take
those at six o’clock.
After eagerly consuming packed
meals and lemonade for supper,
everyone headed with their in
structors to the slopes. Beginners
soon discovered that despite the ac
complishment of getting the skis
on, they still had to figure out how
to get up a portion of the slope
without the lift. Intermediate
skiers on the lift had their jollies
in watching the beginners’ often
futile attempts to accomplish
“simple” techniques explained by
the instructors. But those in the
beginners’ group also had their
laughs seeing the “more experienc
ed” skiers come flying down the
slopes with dampened seats, even
Mr. Massey!
Though skiing weather has not
been superb this year, anxious stu
dents continue to keep their fing
ers crossesd, hoping for colder
weather and a big snow.
