on Retreat Summer Staff
by Christian Malone
This summer Junior Pharon Anderson
and Sophomore Jon Abel will join Chaplain
Ed Bonner in working Summer Staff with
Presbyterians For Renewal, an organization
that stages Christian retreats all over the
country.
PFR puts on about a dozen retreats
each summer. Fun In the Son is a week-long
beach retreat for high schoolers and the Great
Escape is a week-long junior high camp.
Chaplain Ed Bonner, the head of Summer
Staff, says, “Summer Staff is a hectic job.
The workers have to be dedicated to doing a
job well done. Every year, fatigue causes a
damper on us.”
This will be Anderson’s 11th year
working for PFR. Every year he happily ac
cepts PFR head Chuck Neder’s offer to work.
He says, “I like working at [Fun In the Son
and Great Escape]. I enjoy being a part of
these programs.”
In contrast, Abel is a PFR rookie,
though he has been to both F.I.T.S. and Great
Escape with his youth group in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. He is ecstatic about this summer,
saying, “I’m pumped to be doing this. I see
this summer as a chance to serve God and a
chance to get an insight into youth ministry,
my future occupation.”
This will be Bonner’s eighth consecu
tive summer attending PFR functions. He has
come as a youth leader, a seminar leader, and
now as the chief of Summer Staff. He be
lieves his crew will do a good job, especially
Anderson and Abel.
Anderson, Abel Join Bonner Campus
Parking
Regualtions
Hazy
by Scott Barnard
The majority of students are unaware
of parking regulations within the Montreat
gate as well as on campus. However, incon
sistent enforcement and ticketing practices
are about to change as a new policy is put in
place for, fully effective for the 1995 fall se
mester.
After receiving a third ticket, students
receive a written notice from Dean King, who
is responsible for parking tickets which falls
under student affairs. All tickets issued by
the school can be appealed through Dean
King. To date, there is no define policy for
excessive parking violations and according to
Owen, “There has been no need of one.”
Not all tickets reeeived by students in
Montreat are issued by Student Services.
Areas off campus, such as Appalachian Way
and Look Out Road, are in the Montreat po
lice district. The school is not responsible
for student ticketing on any roads in Montreat.
Students are allowed to park in marked spots
on the streets as long as No Parking signs are
not posted, as they are in front of Gaither
Chapel.
Freshman Townsend Sifly said, “I did
not know that all the spaces were for visi
tors. There is only one little sign at one end
of the row. I didn’t think it applied to the
whole row.”
Lots beside the dormitories are for stu
dents living in those dormitories while off-
campus parking is provided in the Belk lot,
across from the Science Building. The Belk,
cafeteria, and Gaither lot spaces are reserved
for faculty and staff of the college during op
erational hours.
Ward, SGA Proposes Judicial,
Constitutional Changes
by Melissa Brown
Student Government Association pro
posed new reforms to the constitution on Tues
day, February 28, because their was a need for
amendments to be reworded and added.
One proposed amendment is for the Honor
Court to act as a substitute Judicial Council when
Judicial Council caseload becomes overloaded
and the chair of the Judicial Council requests
the transfer of a case. SGA President Mark
Wright states “These are intended to help lessen
the load on Judicial which historically gets more
cases than it can feasibly handle, while Honor
Court meets less frequently.”
Also proposed is that a student shall have
the right to have summons brought to him/her in
person. To insure the swift justice while allow
ing for the end of semester offenses, an amend
ment stating there shall be a statute of limita
tions upon all charges until the end of the se
mester or thirty school days, whichever is longer.
A proposal written in behalf of the Judi
cial Branch by Scott Ward, concerning the Ap
peals Court was also discussed at the meeting.
This proposal includes that a student who ap
peals upon the basis of inconsistent sanctions
has the implied right to be resentenced by the
court to whom they have appealed.
Other reforms clarifying the judicial por
tions of the Constitution were also passed. Be
fore the Constitution is ratified though, the re
forms must pass through a student body vote.

mer at Nairobi Evangelical School of Theology.

forward to this trip and I am really excited about
getting to teach in a different culture. I would
like to develop a relationship with the Semi
nary. My trip is going to by from July 12 through
Club to Spring Break in Florida
Baseball Team to Compete In Tournament
Glassford stated, “God has been gra
cious,” regarding his fundraising efforts to make
this trip a reality.
The main reason he is going there to teach
is a “good friend of mine Jim Pleutdmann [di
rector of SIM] has encouraged me for years but
the opportunity has come this summer.”
Kristi Flick had intended to attend but
the classes wanted to enroll in have been can
celed.
There may be future opportunity for stu
dents to go to Nairobi with him in the future.
by John Danger
The Baseball team will be headed to
Clearwater Florida over spring break for a
tournament. Among the teams they will com
pete against is the Lfniversity
of North Florida. The team is
looking forward to the trip and
the expect to play excellently.
The team has had some
of the toughest competition
they will encounter this season
though the conference opens
today. “The non-conference
games will be harder than any of the confer
ence games" predicts pitcher Shane Hatcher.
Center fielder Joe Snyder batting .462 ex
claims “we are the best 0-6 team in the coun
try."
The team has a great outlook for the
season ahead. Hatcher states “we have not
been able to practice outside much so we re
ally work hard when we do. Our pitching
and batting is improving so we will be a team
to be reckoned with in the conference.”
The team has five
batters that have begun to
shine early in the season.
Snyder so far this season
batted .462, stole 2 bases
and led the team laast sea
son in RBI's. Chris
Robertson batted .368
early in the season; J.R.
Cunningham batted a solid .333; and Eddy
Carty also batted .333, and hit 2 RBI’s; Left
fielder Jay Johnson currrently leads the team
with 3 RBI’s.
Christian Malone exclaimed “our team
has stated slowly; but we should have it to
gether soon.”
"We are the best
0-6 team in the
country," exclaims
Joe Snyder.
