G'A • Returns from Full Spring Tour by Karl E. Peters Spring break is sure to mean many things to many people but one group of Montreat students who got something special from it is the the General Assembly. Better known as the “G.A.’ ’, this small group and their director along with admissions director Mark Emplidge went on tour. The tour had seven concerts in nine days and took two days off to see the sights in the meantime. Starting in Montreat on Friday, March 9, they went west through Tennessee with one stop as far west as Arkansas bank of the Mississippi River. Transportation for the group was provided by the Montreat bus. Breaking down twice, the bus provided an interesting varriable to their timing. In all these things, though, the Lord got them where they needed to be and furnished what they needed to have to make the tour ef fective. Mary Horner, director of the group, com mented, “The bus runs on faith.” One of the two free days was spent watching a different style of music in Opryland, a theme park in Nashville, Tennessee while the other brought them, among other things, a museum tour. While in these places, they found lodging in individual homes where they got to meet gnd have fellowship with people of these other areas. ‘ T enjoyed meeting the people”, said Jon Brown, student leader of the G.A. Among the other things on the tour, there was scripture learning from the book of Romans, a contest in trading pennies for objects, and Mark Emblidge with public relations work for the school. Jon Brown captured the week with these two comments, “It was fun, exausting, rewar ding, and demanding’ ’ and “amazing to see the Lord work out different situations.” ,( i '.V /r,' •, / ' •• i ^ “One of the houses behind the pool, this house would he destroyed to build the tennis courts, "(photo by David Swinson) New Athletics Facilities Possible by Greg Safly An architectural firm has been hired by Montreat- Anderson College to examine the existing facilities that the College owns and to give recommendations for needed improvements. The firm gave the following recom mendations; the need of a student center, the need of an athletic field, and the need of tennis courts. At this stage of time. Montreat uses the Athletic field at Swannanoa for baseball while intermural softball uses the Dust Bowl; there is no student center,.and the college uses the Mountain Retreat’ Association’s tennis courts. The idea now is to place the tennis courts behind the swimming pool. This would mean the destruction of the buildings that occupy this site. The idea of a student center and an athletic field are still in the works. A 19th century etiquette book advises, "The perfect hostess will see to it that the works of male and female authors be properly separated on her book shelves. Their proximity, unless the authors happen to be married, should not be tolerated." Missions Program Begun at M-AC Joe DeVries Recently a new organization has been formed at M-AC. It is the Student Missions Fellowship. The organization is being sponsored by Dean Newton Wilson and is aimed, for the present, at increasing Montreat-Anderson students awareness and education of mission field and missionary work. Its goals include awareness, local Evangelization, and directing students who are interested in the mission field to organizations that offer possibilities of missionary work. “Several possibilities of summer mission work have risen already’ ’, says vice- president David Minyard. The Student Missions Fellowship officers include nresident, Becky Stevens, David Minyard, and Colleen Challis. The projects the group is looking forward to are the presentation of several missions movies and guest speakers. They are also scheduled to conduct a con vocation on April 18th. The Fellowship will have called meeting this Friday at 10:00 a.m. All students are welcome to attend. “1st Row (L-R): Jon Brown, Charles Wigin^ton, Phil Anderton, Wayne Hayes. 2nd Row: Bea Burton, Beth Zitzman, Mary Horner, Jane Andrews, Missy Porter, Becky Rose, Kate Rourke, and Julie Krause. Anyone interested in seeing the General Assembly perform may do so on Friday, March 23. This will be held in Gaither Hall at 8:00 p.m. (photo by David Swinson) Guaranteed Aid for College Students A new service designed to assist students in need of financial aid to continue school or plan for graduate school was announced today by The Scholarship Bank. According to Steve Danz, Program Director, the new service will give each student a print-out of the scholarships, loans, grants and work-study sources available to him or her in that student’s specific field.Students apply by writing for and filling out a questionnaire which is then used as the key to the data bank. The questionnaire is like a mini-profile of each student, seeking information on year in school, major, occupational objectives, sex religion, parent’ s union, employer and military service & student’ s outstanding abilities, such as leadership experience or sports. The service is so thorough ac cording to the director, that in the field of girls’ sports scholarships alone, there are over 2,000 entries. The director also indicated that the Scholarship Bank is the only program that offers a full listing of all graduate and post-graduate scholarships, which would be of interest to all grad students and even faculty. The data bank guarantees that each student will receive at least $100 in aid, or the service fee of $25. will be refunded. Danz indicated that students unable to pay the $25 fee may receive a “basic’ ’ print-out of at least 15 scholarship sources for $15. The $25 fee will give students up to 50 sources of possible aid. The data bank is up-dated daily with new scholarships and information changes in current scholarships. Due to the backlog of applications for this unique service, students should submit questionnaires as soon as possible. The service will also send each applicant a publication on How to Play Grant- smanship, which will be of help to the students in ap plying for the aid. The • Scholarship Bank cooperates with financial aids offices and does not duplicate their ser vices, according to the director. Most financial aids ' offices give information only on sources that they ad minister. Write to Scholarship Bank, 10100 Santa Monica No.750, L.A. 90067 for an application. Enclose a stamped, self- addressed envelope and the required feel. Fast Gives Financial and Spiritual Support by Stuart Jones “For I was hungry, and you had no meat for me.” For 24 hours - from 9:00 p.m. Mon day, March 19, until & &:00 p.m. Tuesday, Mar 20, many of the students and faculty members at M-AC gave up their own meals, and at the same time gave financial and spiritual support for the hungry people of the world. According to Janet Carlton (a member of Phi Theta Kappa, the sponsoring organization), about 155 boarding students, several day students, and a number of faculty members participated in the fast. Participating students were asked to refrain from eating and from entering the cafeteria. Jim King, cafeteria manager, agreed to donate the money which would have been spent on these students’ food to PTK. At $1.50 per student, and 155 participating students, plus donations from faculty members and others, PTK's receipts should total more than $250. Of this, 60 percent ($1501 will go to World Vision to help combat world hunger, and 40 percent i $100) will go to help support the M-AC child for next year. Janet says that the procedure for this year’s fast was different than that of last year. "The programs are new this year. 1 hope we will have them next year as well. Also, Jim King volunteered to donate the money. He didn't have to do that.” She also said that some of the ideas for this year’s fast came from a World Vision conference in Gatlinburg. The world is hungry, and Mon treat students are helping to give them food. And, as Jesus said, “...as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, so have ye done it unto me.” They Came From Scotland Far moi'o people of SeoUi.sh origin liv' ouLside Scollaiui than live in the land of their iiiu'i'sl ors.
