understanding of the language
and culture of the Greeks and
Romans. Sixteen charter mem
bers and Dr. Raymond Nelson,
sponsor, were present.

was rejoicing and sadness on all
sides, but the students knew who
was running and voted accord
ingly.
Rallies for both presidential
candidates turned into two of the
biggest social affairs of the year.
Remcho entertained diners in
MHC’s most exclusive night spot
“the Cafeteria” with music, sing
ing, candlelight and an evening
that made everyone wish for
more. Brookshire’s rally contained
the Beetles, (in person), every
singing group imaginable, and
one of the “rockingest” evenings
the Owen Building has ever
seen.
Gary’s pep teams went through
dormitory after dormitory during
evening break singing his theme
song while banners for Tom flew
from almost everywhere.
Posters, banners, cards, every
thing imaginable for campaigning
hung from everywhere. There
were hearts, imknown animals,
cartoon characters, cheering
squads, and even record stars out
for their favorites.
One person’s opinion of the re
sults was. Mars Hill College had
its first big student government
campaign among the students and
one thing came out clearly: no
feelings were hurt and tliere is
hope that the same thing can be
done next year.

four from the junior class and
five from the senior. Both sexes
must be represented.
Orientation of the candidates
comes under the jurisdiction of
the Student Government Associ
ation’s leadership training com
mittee. Each candidate is screened
by the committee to make sure
he or she is qualified and is
aware of the functions of the of
fice and of student government.
Each candidate must pass a test
on the SGA constitution.
Election of dormitory officers
will be held during the chapel
period on Tuesday, Apr. 14. Ev
eryone will go to his dorm instead
of to chapel. Procedures relative
to the election are similar to those
for class and student body elec
tions. The petitions may be cir
culated between Apr. 6 and 8.
