IN MEMORY OF JIM CODY, A FRIEND
James Albert Cody, a student
here at Mars Hill, died Sunday,
22 Jan. of injuries sustained in a
motorcycle-car accident 17 Jan.
Mr. Cody was a native of Greene
County, Tenn., and a 1963 gradu
ate of Lee H. Edwards High
School. He served three years
with the 82nd Airborne Division,
1st Infantry, and was awarded
the Armed Forces Expeditionary
Medal. Upon his discharge from
the Army last June, he entered
Mars Hill College as a freshman
divinity student.
Well, Jim, farewell.
Words are useless chords to
play in
Songs of deep repose;
If, while in life to you, their
worth
I failed to disclose.
Your life so strong as to
challenge
Death to defeat.
A struggle so fierce as to
remove the
Glory from the panting breast
of eternity.
And place it gently on thy
brow, as softly
As the descending dews upon
the earth.
' Rest now, friend, full of faith
and sleep.
Your memory breath doth
give to others walking
The same highway;
Your courage is a lamp unto
their feet.
Your youth gives promises of
the great
Beyond,
Where your conqueror will
be forced to
Loose all his bonds.

Coffee House Proving Successful
The Alley Door, Mars Hill’s
new coffee house, has proved a
success, as announced by the ac
ceptance of both students and
faculty. At each opening both
rooms have been packed.
Dr. Bentley states, “I was
awed by the ingenuity of our
students in their recent renova
tion of the basement of Owen
Building for the coffee house.
While in Louisville, Chicago, New
York, and other cities, I have fre
quented many such coffee houses,
but I have never seen one that
would even compete with ours.
The decor is highly imaginative,
the atmosphere is informal but
yet intimate, and the entertain
ment thus far has been as excel
lent as the facility itself. I ad
mire the students’ making some
thing so great with so few re
sources. I think this provides an
excellent addition to our campus.”
Denny Hill remarked that he is
very pleased with the reception
of the new facility and hopes
that it continues to meet the
needs and desires of the students.
A bulletin board at the Alley
Door will be available for student
literary contributions or an
nouncements. Denny announces
that The Alley Door now has a
calendar on which any official
organization of Mars Hill College
can make a reservation as early
as two weeks in advance to use
the facility. The only stipulation
is that these various groups or
clubs will be responsible for all
property damage.
Student paintings and other art
works will be on display from
time to time, as there will be a
regular change in decorations.
The Alley Door will be open
after all college-sponsored events.
On Friday evenings it will be
open from 7:30 until 11:00, on
Saturday evenings from 8:00 un
til 12:00, and on Sunday after
noons from 2 until 6 p.m.
There will be live entertain
ment on Saturday nights, with
recordings being used on other
nights. Any records that students
can lend will be greatly appreci
ated. Entertainment in the past
has included the “Kay Woodies,”
Jay Flippin, Malcolm Privette,
Cammy McDonald, Perry White,
Bill Christmas, Martha Morris,
Ronda Stanton, Bill Gardner, and
Peter Gott, a folksinger from the
mountains of North Carolina.
Any entertainment or talent
will be welcomed.
Words of thanks are in order
for Martha Morris, Denny Hill,
Wayne Hunt, and many others
for the fine job that they have
done in the preparation of the
facility for student use and en
joyment.

IBM Coming
A new era on the Mars Hill
College campus begins 10 Feb.
This is the day the first IBM
equipment is expected to arrive,
and computer science will be of
ficially initiated into our college
curriculum. A modest assort
ment of IBM equipment has been
leased to the college, and an
initial course. Introduction to
Data Processing, is now being of
fered. This summer three addi
tional courses will be added—an
equipment operator’s course and
two basic courses in program
ming.
Rooms 10 and 14 of Wall Build
ing have been renovated to ac
commodate these machines, includ
ing three IBM 029 keypunches,
an 082 sorter, and a 407 account
ing machine. A Series 360,
Model 20 computer has been or
dered and will be built by IBM.
This machine will be a major part
of a data processing center,
which will be incorporated into
the proposed Blackwell Building.
Mr. William F. Pegg, associate
professor of mathematics, has
been working for nearly eight
years for the introduction of the
computer science to our college.
At long last this field of study is
now open. This also means that
perhaps non-academic jobs such
as payroll, accounting, inventory,
alumni records-keeping, registra
tion, and maintenance of student
records will be modernized.
These initial steps in the mush
rooming mechanical science are a
vital part of the college’s efforts,
under a new administration, to
emphasize excellence in all phases
of operation.
