Dave Smith Wins BSU Post
During the BSU Spring Con
ference at Greensboro 14-16
April, David Smith, a rising
junior, was elected vice-president
of the statewide BSU. Nominated
by the Mars Hill BSU, David ran
against five other candidates,
conducted a brief campaign, and
delivered a speech on the role of
the BSU in North Carolina.
Responsibilities of the vice-
president include membership on
the President’s Council, which is
composed of state officers and
BSU presidents from state cam
puses; serving on various com
mittees; helping plan next year’s
BSU activities; and attending the
state Baptist convention.
Concerning his election, David
commented, “I am glad to have
an opportunity like this to work
with BSU’s across North Caro
lina. I consider the BSU as a
relevant organization capable of
reaching students in various as
pects of their lives. Naturally,
the BSU makes major contribu
tions in religious facets of life,
but I think it should also be im
portant in other areas.”
In his work next year, David
hopes to gain more experience in
being with students across the
state, since this will be important
in his future church-related voca
tion. This position will also prob
ably bolster Mars Hill’s BSU by
a closer connection with the state
organization.
The vice-presidency will entail
his being off-campus a consider
able amount of time next year.
He will be visiting state BSU’s
and observing their various set
ups. He. will also attend com
mittee meetings and discuss stu
dent programs such as the Youth
Corps with campus groups.
His plans for running for the
presidency next year are in
definite. It will depend upon how
his work progresses this year as
vice-president.
David stated further that, 'T
think my dealings with Paul
Campbell and other members of
the Mars Hill BSU have helped
me g:reatly. I am very glad I’ve
had the opportunity to work with
them this year.”
A history major from Greer,
S. C., David hopes to enter the
seminary after graduation.
Mount Airy, will be crowned May
Queen. Her consort is Mr. Caleb
Hill. Maid of honor is Miss Ann
Peebles, a rising senior from
Candler, who will be escorted by
Mr. Harold Peebles. Rhonda
Bentley is crown bearer.
“Potpourri” is the theme of
this year’s program, which will
consist of music, poetry, and
dances. A special group of sing
ers and dancers will present “Over
the Rainbow,” “Dream,” songs
from “My Fair Lady,” and vari
ous other selections. Dan Hayes
is narrator.
May Court attendants and es
corts are Maria Hunt, Phillip
Clark; Marcia Gay, Robert Mas-
sengill; Cornelia Akers, Perry
White; Lynette Vaughn, Larry
Miller; Pamela Culler, Bill Gard
ner; Jean Dunn, Richard Parker;
Maxie Rayford, Paul Campbell;
Ann Lancaster, Robert Henley;
Linda Brookshire, Gary Brook
shire; Jean Miller, James Miller;
Linda Walker, Charles Fox; Joyce
Ann Duckett, Bob Gibson.
May Day 1967 will be the final
program of this type at Mars Hill.
Since the new schedule has been
adopted for the 1967-1968 ses
sion, exams are planned for this
time next year.
A quartet. Bill Gardner, Jay
Flippin, Joel Reed, and Perry
White, will also perform. Jay
Flippin is the chorus accompanist.
Local Housing
A federal loan will be made to
the Mars Hill community for the
construction of fifty units of low-
cost public housing. The actual
figure for the forty-year loan
has not as yet been determined,
but an approximate figure of
something over a half million dol
lars has been approved by the
Department of Housing and Ur
ban Development and a prelimin
ary loan of $7,500 has already
been made.
A list of the possible building
sites has already been compiled
and appraisals will be made in
the near future. Once the value
of each lot has been estimated
and an option on each has been
taken, they will all be purchased
simultaneously and construction
may begin.
Sixteen of the proposed fifty
units will be destined for the
aged while the remaining 34 will
be available to married students
at Mars Hill College and local
families of low income. Most of
the units are to be constructed as
single-family houses and are to be
distributed evenly throughout the
town. They will be operated
completely by the Mars Hill
Housing Authority which will be
responsible for maintenance,
rent, and the repayment of the
federal loan.
The project, in addition to bol
stering the economic standard of
the community, should come as
an aesthetic boon to Mars Hill
by razing many substandard
homes and derelict building;s.
