Tryouts Slated
Tryouts for the spring musical
“Oliver” will be held Apr. 4-6,
James Thomas of the drama de
partment has announced.
The play is based on the fam
ous Dicken’s novel “Oliver Twist.”
It is scheduled for performances
in Moore Auditorium on May 21
and 28.
Because the production is a
musical, there are both singing
and acting roles, Thomas ex
plained. Anyone may try out for
the several parts. He is especial
ly in need of a few youngsters.

Lopsided victories were scored
in the student body election
Thursday by Robert Hoots, Car-
roll Reed, Martha Morris and
James Wiles.
Hoots beat Craig Covey 847-250
for president, which actually
amounts to the presidency of the
Student Government Association.
Reed bested Paul Early 813-282
for the vice presidency; Miss Mor
ris defeated Dianne Freeman 705-
389 for the secretary’s position;
and Wiles, who was imopposed
for treasurer, garnered 1069 votes.
The four, aU previously active
in SGA, will serve throughout the
1966-67 school year.
The total votes in the presiden
tial race amounted to 1097, which
was three more than were cast in
the comparable election last year.
The total number of votes in 1964
was 1035 and in 1963, the first
year of such an election, “nearly
900.”
Hoots will succeed Chris Pap
pas and will become only the
fourth student body president in
Mars Hill history. The other two
were Ken Pearce, 1963-64, and
Gary Brookshire, 1964-65.
Petitions to run for one of five
offices — president, vice presi
dent, secretary, treasurer and sen
ator — in each of the four aca
demic classes will begin circulat
ing tomorrow and must be filed
with Dean Lynch by midnight
Apr. 5. The elections are sched
uled all day Apr. 13 in the Stu
dent Center.
Installation of these class offi
cers and the student body officers
chosen Thursday will take place
during the chapel hour on Apr.
21, Pappas said.
Mars Hill’s SGA was recently
approved for membership in the
Southern Universities Student
Government Association. The or
ganization, known by the initials
SUSGA, is composed of over 100
colleges and universities in the
Southeast over a nine-state area.
The link-up is a first for Mars
Hill since no previous student
government association has been
regionally or nationally affiliated.
