Encouragement from Dean Wilson
Dear Students:
I know many of you have worked
very diligently toward your
academic goals this Fall. Also, you
have actively participated in other
programs on campus. I want to
thank each of you, especially the
campus leaders, for maldng this the
best year ever at Montreat-
Anderson College. Why do I think it
has been the best? There is a
genuine spirit of love and concern
which exists throughout the cam
pus: in the classroom, in
organizations, at meetings, on
athletic and intramural teams, in
the dornis, and within various of
fices. This type caring for one
another is the attitude I know you
want to experience this Christmas,
too.
The service projects, Bible
studies, and other similar projects
(trips to Camp Little Pisgah, Mt.
Mitchell, rafting, etc.( show me a
real zest for life and interest in
wholesome growth experiences. I
am very encouraged by the op
timism and degree of involvement
you possess.
May I congratulate the Freshman
Class for their eagerness to join in
the mainstream of our College life.
Many of you have brought new
talent, fresh ideas and enthusiasm to

the student body. Thank you for
giving of yourselves. ,
Also, I have seen an increase in
your interest in learning. The
academic atmosphere on campus
has improved a great deal. Your
interest in general studies, cultural
programs, interim programs, and
exploration of the great outdoors
demonstrates your awareness of
educational opportunities. Class
attendance, use of the Library, and
various special projects reveal a
favorable degree of involvement on
your part.
We need to express a special
thanks to those people: Faculty,
Staff, and Students who plan and
provide these fine experiences.
Especially, I wish to thank the
Faculty and Staff sponsors, Mrs.
Andrews and the Activities Com
mittee and all other who contribute
to the whole program.
May I encourage you to apply
yourselves with renewed ambition
on final exams. With these academic
achievements completed, you can
return home with a well-deserved
Christmas break.
May you be truly blessed by the
knowledge that God Loves you.
What a joy it is to know He sent His
Son, Jesus, to the lowly stable in
Bethlehem to show His Love and
Humility.
Merry Christmas

Dean Evans Fund
by David Teague
Through the work of the Student
Government Association (SGA), a
memorial fund is being set up in
honor of the late Hoyt Evans, former
dean of Montreat-Anderson.
According to SGA treasurer Gary
Bouknight, who is in charge of
gathering money, the goal of the
fund is to set up a scholarship in
Dean Evans name. “The money
that is received will be allocated to
the $10,000 goal which is necessary
for establishing a long-standing
scholarship,’ ’ Gary said. “It is
hoped that through the contributions
and thru prayers that the goal will
be met. There is great enthusiasm
shown in all contributers.”
So far, money has been received
by taking up a collection in each
dormitory. During the spring the
baseball team will put on a benefit
basketball game and all the
proceeds will go to the fund. Other
fund-raising activities are in the
planning stages for the second
semester.
This is just part of a drive to get
more students involved in giving to
the college, in order that it may
fulfill the needs of all students. For
more information on how you can
have a part in the giving program
contact Development Director
Donald Munson.

college people were in a hurry and the CBU’ers were in unfamiliar surroun
dings. It was seen as a hassle more than anything else with very little profit.’’
Any money made by the cafeteria is divided three ways - The college,
cafeteria employees, and cafeteria expenses. Jim King is more interested in
us than any Conference people. He asks to remind you “no gripe is too small.
Just come see me!’
What does Billy Graham watch on TV? Nothing, at the present time. It
seems the reception at the Graham’s home is less than adequate. Even WLOS
Channel 13 in Asheville won’t come in. But this poor reception for the Graham’
s and the surrounding area may soon change. ABC television in New York
desired to have Dr. Graham be their consultant for religious programming;
however. Dr. Graham was reluctant in light of the fact that he couln’t even
pick up \^OS, an ABC affiliate. ABC said that they would look into the matter
and they have now found a solution.. The answer is to set a translator on
Rainbow Mtn. to relay TV signals with solar power from WLOSk main tower
on Mr. Pisgah. The installation would only cover 20 square feet, and not only
will the Graham’s benefit but also the entire valley. Both WLOS and a possible
educational station will be receivable in the very near future.^.
