An 8 percent rate increase
was approved by the Board of
Trustees, Friday, Oct. 30 in
Montreat. In the 1976—77
school year, students will pay
approximately $200 more than
this year.
“It’s primarily due to the
cost of living," President Silas
M. Vaughn claims. ’’This year
we had no rise in rates
although expenses rose
sharply. To compensate for
this we’re having to raise
money.”
Walter Hall, college
: business manager, states thdt
18—20 percent of the school’s
expenses (approximately
$300,000) are dependent on
gifts and money raising this
year.
The total lincome of the
school has increased 21 per-
scent in the last four years
and, coincidentally, faculty
and staff salaries have in
creased 21 percent also. Dr.
Vaughn points this out in
saying that the school is not
trying to make money.
“In that four year span,
utilities increased 47 percent
and student room and board
fees increased only half that
much,” he says.
Dr. Vaughn adds that
Montreat-Anderson is the
highest on the board for food
quality in this state and fees
must be raised toi maintain
that.

Intramural Football
Football got underway at
viontreat back in late Sep-
ember with Howerton’s third
loor taking a clean sweep of
ill the games.
The rugged and powerhouse
feam of Howerton seemed to
tiave litUe if any difficulty
beating the two teams of
Davis: Davis 2nd floor and
Davis third floor.
Howerton’s explosive of
fense was led by a shrine-
bowler named Bernard Young
who quaterbacked in the
shrine game of North Carolina
verses South Carolina. Also on
Howerton’s offense there was
wide reciever Steve Kiser,
Dennis Suits, and Keith
Miller.
Ashford Devane was the
head hunter of Howerton’s
stable defense. Also on
defense was Dean Connell,
who was everywhere on the
field, Steve Brawham,
Howerton’s keyman on of
fense as well as defense, was
outstanding in performance.
Howerton pulled the trick of
the hat over Davis 13-12 in the
last seconds of the game.
From then on out Howerton
had no difficulties
slaughtering Davis. The
seventh game was the big
Dust Bowler with Howerton
over Davis by aq small
margin of 20-18. It seemed that
Davis went in with everthing
they had and just about pulled
the wool over Howerton’s
Seven games were played
during the season with ^
Howerton crunching Davis
each time. The first game of
the season demonstrated the
poise and ability the Howerton
men showed with a 30-6 score.
Following that game
eyes.
The games were played with
each quarter having eight
minutes, refereed by
Stan Young and Doug Banks.

Howerton Bell Bangers for
their outstanding per
formances.
