Claypool, III baccalaureate speaker. Campus Radio Due in Fall “Let it be said that Mars Hill College, and the student popula tion thereof, is not, contrary to popular belief, indifferent nor unenlightened as to the needs or potential of this institution,” thus Moore Reveals State Jobs Governor Dan K. Moore has announced a special employment program to find summer jobs for 100,000 high school and college students in North Carolina. He said, “When schools close this summer there will be many young citizens in need of gainful employment to help provide money to continue their educa tion in the fall. We are asking that private business and industry help North Carolina by providing meaningful jobs for these deserv ing young men and women.” Summer jobs made available by business and industry will be listed with the North Carolina Employment Security Commis sion. The Commission has offices throughout the State and will work with employers and students in placement. Governor Moore said the sum mer employment program for students would complement and include existing private and gov ernmental job programs. “This is a major undertaking and every resource must be utilized in find ing suitable employment for young men and women,” he said. “With the support of private business and industry—and only with their support—this project will be successful. I am encour aged by the interest and the will ingness of business and industry to provide good summer jobs for young people,” the Governor added. “I urge all young people who need summer employment to take advantage of this opportunity. You will help yourself and North Carolina,” the Governor said. Application forms and instruc tions may be obtained from David Mathews in the Registi^’s Of fice. said Dan Hayes of the radio ef forts. Hayes went on to state that since the initial efforts toward the establishment of an on-cam pus radio station interest and co operation has been better than good. The need was felt for such a station to provide entertain ment and communication for Mars Hillians. Money received for the radio station now totals more than $600. This has come from the benefit show, the men’s social service clubs, the library. Dr. Bentley, and the Student Govern ment Association. The $600 total includes the deduction of cer tain expenses already incurred. Hayes stated, “Although this is the minimum with which we could consider beginning the in stallation of a station, it is none theless, a substantial step for ward.” If the type of co-operation re ceived thus far continues, Hayes feels that the station can com mence broadcasts early next se mester. Before the station can take to the airwaves, however, there is much red tape and tech nical work to be done. Despite this, the committee for the estab lishment of a radio station feels that they can have a “Grade A” station by early October. A record 226 students are eligible to receive degrees in this, the fifth grraduating class since Mars Hill became a senior institu tion. According to figfures re leased by the registrar’s office, 113 are eligible to receive a bachelor of science degree, 82 are expecting the bachleor of arts, six for the bachelor of music, 18 bachelor of music education, two associate of arts in business, and five one year business certifi cates.
