After all formalities are com pleted the inauguration will end with a recessional. The new president is only the third Mars Hill College has had in this century. Dr. Bentley has already sketch ed a plan of action for the first 10 years of his administration. He will concentrate on the de velopment of a top-notch faculty in which half will hold a doctor’s degree within the next five years. To achieve this goal he will offer salaries and fringe benefits com petitive with larger, wealthier in stitutions. Secondly, the young adminis trator plans to develop an aca demic program both broader in scope and better in quality. He proposes the addition of major course work in such areas as philosophy, psychology, sociology, physics, and library science. At the same time the established disciplines will be restructured for improvement. Varied Agenda Holds SGA Off campus dances, I. D. cards, study rooms, and the Miss Laurel Pageant were the main consider ations of student government last week. After receiving administrative approval for off-campus dancing, the Senate organized a commit tee for an upcoming dancing ac tivity. Ralph Epperson has been named chairman of this commit tee. The Senate has also worked out a solution to the I. D. card dilem ma. When an I. D. card is for gotten, students will no longer be required to return to the dorms to get them, nor will they have to pay 50 cents. Instead, they may get a special eating per mission card from Don Caldwell, Mrs. Julia Tllson, or Miss Jo Humpston. The permission blank will be good for two meals at least. The Senate is also endeavoring to establish study rooms after li brary hours for those students who desire quiet study conditions. The Senate announced that the Miss Laurel Pageant has a dead line of 15 Nov. Nominations, how ever, should be in by 12 Nov. so that all candidates can ride in the Victory Parade to be held that day. The Homecoming Parade, which was to have been held today, has been postponed until next week and will be merged with the Vic tory Parade. There were more events scheduled for 5 Nov. than could possibly be coordinated was the explanation of a student government spokesman earlier this week.
