Dean Lee Is Recognized
For 15 Years Of Service
Dean R. M. Lee, who has been
closely associated with the junior
college division of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools for more than 15
years, was honored by the Asso
ciation at its recent meeting in
Memphis.
The executive committee of the
Association recommended that he
be granted an honorary life mem
bership in the junior college divi
sion. The recommendation was
unanimously passed and Dean Lee
was presented a lifetime Shaef-
fer desk pen set with an engraved
plate indicating the years of serv-
The honors came as Dean Lee
submitted his resignation as sec
retary of the junior college divi
sion. Because Mars Hill has be
come a senior college, it is no
longer eligible for membership in
the division.
Dean Lee served on the exec
utive committee, then as vice
president and later as president,
and since 1952 as secretary.
The Southern Association is the
chief accrediting agency for col
leges and high schools throughout
the South.
Also attending the meeting in
Memphis was Mr. Chapman, regis
trar.
Johnson Wins Frosh
Election Over Glass
Ray Johnson of Charlotte de
feated George Glass of Raleigh,
195-147, in Tuesday’s hotly con
tested election for president of
the freshman class.
In other races Larry Burgess
topped Carl Rivenbark, 192-145,
for the vice presidential spot;
Flashing a good loser’s smile, George Glass (left) takes down one

him in the election Tuesday for president of the freshman class. The
voting, which was preceded by a spirited period of campaigning, was
conducted by the Student Government Association.
‘Miss Laurel 1964’ Contest
Narrowed To Seven Coeds
GOOD NEWS!
A half day has been added to
the Christmas holidays. Dean R.
M. Lee announced Tuesday.
The holidays will begin at noon
on Thursday, Dec. 19, instead
of at the close of classes as pre
viously scheduled. There will be
no chapel that day, and the 11
and 12 o’clock classes will be
shifted to an hour earlier, which
is the usual procedure on Satur
days.
Classes will resume at 8 a.m.
on Friday, Jan. 3.

the campus chapter of the Ameri
can Home Economics Association.
According to John Lackey, di
rector of the yearbook’s beauty
contest, some well-known off-cam
pus personality will choose “Miss
Laurel of 1964” from the seven
finalists. In all probability the
judge will meet the girls personal
ly in order to make his (or her)
decision. Lackey said.
The name of the winner will
not be revealed until the year
book is officially dedicated early
next May. Pictures of the win
ner and the six other finalists
will appear in the 1964 annual,

Projectors
Are Given
To College
A grant of $3,000 worth of
visual communications equipment
has been made to the college by
the 3M Company of St. Paul,
Minn.
In a news release Tuesday
from its southern headquarters
in Key Biscayne, Fla., the com
pany revealed that it is giving
Mars Hill 11 classroom overhead
projectors, two transparency
makers and a supply of trans
parency film and copy paper.
The model visual communica
tions system, the company said,
will enable teachers to produce
transparencies from a variety of
source materials such as news
paper articles, textbook materials,
student homework or class as
signments. These transparencies,
projected on a screen before the
class, will enable teachers to pre
sent new facts and ideas clearly
and dramatically.
Receiving a similar grant was
Enka High School near Asheville.
The grants are part of a $1,-
500,000 assistance to education
program sponsored by the com
pany to encourage more creative
representing every state were se-
teaching. Five hundred schools
lected to receive grants.
Sylvia Valentine barely edged Es
telle Jordan, 174-168, for secre
tary; and David Hopstetter and
Virginia Smith were elected sen
ators to the Student Government
Association.
No one received the necessary
majority in the race to handle the
class pocketbook, making a run
off essential. Wade Davis led with
107 votes; Judith Compton got
83, Sandra Wells, 81 and Mary
Dobson, 70. Wade and Judith will
battle in the run-off.
The candidates and members of
the SGA, which conducted the
election, were pleased with the in
terest and participation. A total
of 68 percent of the freshman
class voted.
Prior to the election all of the
candidates were oriented on Stu
dent Government and given a test
on the SGA constitution and by
laws. As a result, said one SGA
official, these new officers are
probably the best-prepared class
leaders in the college’s history.
The winners take office imme
diately and will serve through the
remainder of the year.
Defenders
Appointed
The Student Government’s
Commission has set up a Defense
Committee to give students
charged with violation of campus
rules the advantage of council.
This means that students
charged with violations will have
something like a lawyer if they
desire.
Members of the Defense Com
mittee include Reid Potter, Gail
Feik, Lynda Whitaker, Steve Bit
ter, Henry Walden, George Lyt-
ton, Jim Stokes, Emily Mizell,
Dave Gillespie, Tom Jones and
John Dier.
Anyone who wishes to join the
committee or who seeks the serv
ices of the committee should con
tact Don Rothwell, secretary of
the Student Government Associa
tion.
Band Will Play
A musical program by the col
lege band, under the direction
of Wayne Pressley, is scheduled
for chapel Tuesday, the final
chapel before the holidays.
Numbers to be included are
“Trafalgar,” “American Over
ture,” “Greensleeves,” “A Christ
mas Festival” and “Sine Nonine.”
