Administration Speaks
Each year as we begin a
new college session, I am
encouraged by the en
thusiasm and youthful vigor
of the students and I want
very much to help channel
this into worthy action and
by setting some goals each
we have something to begin
our plans for the new year.
Here are some of our goals
for our beginning:
1. To have a more repre
sentative Student Activi
ty Committee by asking
each dorm to elect or
select 2 students to be
their spokesman to the
committee.
2. To have more Dorm
sponsored activities in
order to provide dorm
teamwork.
3. To encourage each stu
dent to participate in at
least one Intramural
sport as well as to be
active in some other
organized interest group
of their choosing.
4. Try to secure speakers
in vocations that would
appeal to M-AC students.
5. Try to arrange some con
certs in cooperation with
nearby schools such as
Brevard, Warren Wilson
and Mars Hill.
6. Encourage the establish
ment of personal goals
supported by daily Bible
study for each student.
7. The Sophomores will ap
preciate this: Clear out
the cluttered shelves in
the Bookstore!
8. My personal goal in my
work as the Director of
Student Activities has
two parts: (A) To be a
closer friend to as many
students as I possibly
can. (B) To try to live
by Micah 6:8...to do just
ly, love mercy and to
walk humbly with my
Lord as I carry on to
bring as much sunshine
and joy to the students.

I had the distinct privilege
of asking our 1982-83 Stu
dent Government Associa
tion President here at
Montreat-Anderson, Jay
Watson, a few questions
about the academic year
ahead. When asked about
his goals and aspirations for
the upcoming year, there
was little hesitation in his
response.
“With all sincerity and a
restful assurance in the
possibility. Jay related his
desire to see all M-AC
students grow spiritually...
“for those who are already
Christians to be strengthen
ed and to fall deeper in love
with the Lord, and for those
who are not Christians to
come to know Him and
make Him Lord of their
lives.”
Jay expressed that he
would very much like to see
unity among the students
and the faculty/administra
tion continue this year. He
shared his hopes for a
oneness on campus, a spirit
of unity.
“I especially want the new
Freshmen to feel at home
here. In any way I can I want
to help make their adjust
ment from home to school
an easy one.
“I would like to see the
Sophomores search out and
seek direction and definite
goals for their lives this
year,” and he shared his
hopes to be open and
available for any sugges
tions from students on bet
tering our school and our
campus life here at M-AC. “I
hope everybody will feel
welcome to attend the SGA
meetings this year. We
want your ideas, your com
plaints, your imput.” The
SGA is open to all who wish
to participate and meetings
will be held every other Mon
day at 6:15 P.M. in the
Library.
Jay stated that he is look
ing forward to a great year
with the new SGA officers,
especially his secretary...
(He made me write that!)
This years’ elected officers
are Jim Oxford, Vice-
president; Janet Bickett,
Treasurer; apd Susan
Teague; secretary.
Even though Jay knows it
is not part of his respon
sibility as SGA President
this year, he Stressed that
he would love to see the Stu
dent Christian Association
(SCA) grow and be
strengthened this year and
have a stronger influence on
campus. “It is a very impor
tant part of the school,” he
feels. Because Montreat-
Anderson College bears the
respectable title of Chris
tian, Jay wants us “to lift
Jesus up in everything:
academics, activities,
athletics...in all that we do
to glorify Jesus.”
With these goals, with
this kind of encouraging
outlook on the year, and
with such a love and caring
concern for the students, we
can all look forward to a
great year with our new SGA
President.
