1 wonder where the guys

The guys and the girls at

going to call. This situation
upsets many girls.
What, then, is the problem?
Bashful guys, or guys who
think that girls are evU
creatures who will bite their
necks and their wallets.
I think Montreat girls are
really smet. But some guys
who have been hurt by women
before might be a little wary
of girls.
Cars, too, pose a problem
for some guys. Most of them
don’t have cars; the only thing
left is to date on campus.
Now for the shy guys. Well
girls, there’s only one thing
left to do forget about the
tradition and become bold
and ask the guy. Oh, I know it
sounds a little forward.But
face it girls, there is no other
solution.

. . . and so we’re going to put out a newspaper.
Publication hassles have been partially solved,
everybody knows more or less what he or she is
supposed to do—so all that’s left is for me to write
a standard editorial common to such
inaugurations, describing our Noble Ideals and
plans to Serve Our Lord, the Community and
YOU.
Yet such a beginning would fit neither our
abilities .ior our name. For we are Dust in the
Corner, scraps in the street, lone alley cats
declaiming atop our ashcan soap boxes. You
know us too well to believe we can do too much,
but if you expect to little of us, we just might
surprise you.
IT IS WELL that our outlook be guardedly
optimistic; the problems we face are not to be
sneered at. Montreat doesn’t exactly have a long
tradition of fine journalism. I hope to have to “eat
crow’’ on what I wrote on the subject last year
(herewith reprinted from MASTER, volume
alpha and omega):
“The problems in producing a decent
newspaper in a school like ours are un
manageable. Montreat Anderson is too small and
the student turnover is too great for there to be
enough students dedicated to doing the work
needed to have a regular newpaper.
“We do not have and never will have the budget
to “do it up good,’ and there exists an odd student
tendency to not begin thinking about writing an
article until the deadline is past. There is cer
tainly nothing an editor can use to force anyone to
do what he is assigned.
“When the contingencies of layout and printing
are added to the foibles of student labor, you have
a newspaper appearing long after the ‘news’ has
become a shadowy memory. The ‘next week’s
homecoming was a big success’ formula is
unacceptable, in my opinion. When you get
beyond the possibility of a weekly newspaper,
there really is nothing to write about which is not
cOTimon knowledge or is not covered in the
college-run Montreat - Anderson Newsletter.’’
ON THIS NOTE we produced MASTER, whi«^
resembled a badly-done literary magazine in
stead of the vehicle for perceptive news writing
and creative work that it was intended to be. A
little older and wiser, I returned to sch(wl this
year planning to publish MASTER four times a
year and bring it a little closer to its vision.
As I spread this idea round, the same phrase
came echoing back: “Yes that’s nice—but what
about a newspaper?” I soon relized that a
newspaper would not only be an easier concept to ,
put across, but would also be more widely read "tllC lliClltOr
One thing led to another - as the cliche goes - and
Dust in the Corner became a reality. But a more
detailed progress report is in order:
Montreat Anderson College’s
75—76 Conservation Club
officially began Tuesday,
September 23rd, with the
election of this year’s officers.
Elected were: Jim
Bridgman—President, David
-Savage—Vice President,
Gina Roberts —Special
events and activities chair
man, Leigh Bixler—Secretary
Treasurer, Mark Robinson—
Publicity .Chairman, and
Harry Mott—Fire Chief.
Beginning last Saturday
with a bowhunt for deer and
an outing at Little Pisgah, the
Coinservation Club is in for
an exciting season. Future
events include camping trips,
campus clean ups, trap
shoots, the annual bear hunt,
jeep driver training for girls,
plus much more.
The Conservation Club is
especially grateful for Mr.
Andy Andrews, the coor
dinator.
PRINTING. We have worked out an
arrangement with the Canton Enterprise, Canton,
N. C., to print our newspaper for about $60 and
issue, not counting photos. Every other Wed
nesday night we will take our copy to Canton and
typeset it and lay it out ourselves. With this
arrangement we can cut our possible costs in half.
Corner will be distributed every other
Thursday. We will probably set stacks up in the
cafeteria and in Gaither for students to pick up as
they please. Faculy and administrators’ copies
will be put in their boxes.
STAFF. Almost 20 people have joined the
newspaper staff. We will run our picture and tell
more about ourselves in a future issue. As a
sophomore I can say that, just as the lack of a
staff last year made a newspaper impossible to
produce, the quality of our people this year will
make Corner an inevitable success.
We’ve arranged our workload into about six
beats and have several people on each beat. Don’t
think there are no openings on our staff, though -
we will try to find a place for everyone who wants
to work. If you have any ideas for special columns
or features come to me with them. Remember,
there is no need to criticize Corner for not
covering something you think should be men
tioned. Write it up yourself and turn it in before
deadline and we’ll try to use it.
Of course. Corner reserves supreme editorial
power. On letters to the editor you must sign your
name, but names will be withheld upon request.
While I’m on this subject, let me remind you that
Sept. 11,1975
Dear Editor,
Recently we had the op
portunity to take a Smoky
Mountain River Expedition in
Hot Springs, N. C., with a
group of students from
Montreat. They had been
camping in Pisgah, and were
join^ by your President for
this strenuous but enjoyable
7% mile journey before
returning to campus for the
fall term.
We wish to commend this
group for their fine Christian
behavior and good manners on
this outing. We never heard
one word of bad language or
never saw one flared temper
despite various teasings and
soakings. We also wish to
compliment your President on
his good “sportsmanship.”
Not many college presidents
would subject themselves to
water battles from their
active college students. You
are all tine witnesses to both
your school and your Lord. It
is refreshing to see some good,
Christian fellowship among
students when we seem to
hear nothing but criticism
about our American youth.
We hope you will publish this
letter in you campus
newspaper. It’s something to
be proud of - congratulations!
We wish you a happy and
successful schqpl year.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Phil Woodall
North Palm Beach, Fla.
any student, faculty member or staffer may put
an announcement in the paper. Whatever is
normally put on the bulletin boards may be put in
the “Student’s Classified” section we will be
running. This service is free, of course, but
remember to make your announcements current
and to get them in on time. If you put them in the
newspaper box in Gaither’s front office by
Wednesday morning, Oct. 15, they will appear in
the paper the next day.
One last reminder - be patient with us, at least
for awhile. Corner must follow the route of every
newborn child.
