the Mars Hill College Hilliop Vol. XLIIL No. 1 MARS HILL. NORTH CAROLINA September 14, 1968 Band Blast Slated In Chambers Tonight Mike Linda Carol Coeds Selected As Student Editors Three attractive coeds from South Carolina have been chosen as editors of Mars Hill’s three student publications, the Hilltop, the Laurel and Cadenza. Linda Carol Baldwin of Co lumbia, a sophomore, and Carol Adair Chandler, also a sophomore, from Greenville, were selected as editors of the student newspaper and student yearbook respec tively. The announcement was made by Walter Smith, adviser to the staffs of the two publica tions. The selection of Frances “Mike” Rice, a senior from Spartanburg as editor of the literary maga zine, Cadenza, was announced by Joseph P. Schubert, head of the English Department. The literary magazine is sponsored jointly by the departments of English and art. An art editor is to be named by the art department. Linda, a member of the news paper staff during her freshman year, will coordinate the produc tions of the tabloid-size news paper. Several of her staff posi tions have been filled, (see mast head on Page 2) but a serious need still exists for reporters. Carol, who was a staffer on the 1968 Laurel, will organize and direct the production of the 212-page annual which is sched uled for release next spring. About a dozen students attended organizational meetings earlier this week, but dependable work ers are still needed. “Mike,” who has worked on all three publications in previous years, will plan and coordinate the production of two issues of Cadenza this year instead of one as in the three previous years of the magazine’s existence. Cadenza received a $760 grant rom the North Carolina Arts ouncil during the summer. The grant will help finance the sec ond issue. One is planned for early December; the other, for late April. Mike Swaim, editor of the 1968 Laurel, has been named business manager of the literary magazine. The first deadline for the liter ary magazine is anticipated with in six weeks. In order to expand the content, material will be ac cepted this year from members of the faculty, “Mike” said. Anyone wishing to submit ma terial may turn it in to the editor in Fox 217, address it to her stu dent post office box, 54-C, leave it in a designated basket in the Hilltop-Laurel office or give it to a member of the English Depart ment faculty. Office 7 in Mc Connell Building. “Since Cadenza is a student literary magazine, it lives only if students want it too. It is worthless if it exists only for a few students,” the new editor stated. “Through Cadenza, stu dents may speak—^not only to this campus, but also to themselves.” A major facet of the work on the yearbook was concluded Mon day when the photographer com pleted the taking of individual pictures of students, faculty and staff. Some proofs were shown Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; and the remainder will be shown on the same days next week in the Hilltop-Laurel office. A significant aspect of the pro duction of the Laurel is the plan ning and holding of a beauty pageant to select the official campus beauty queen, “Miss Laurel,” who will be featured in a special section of the book. Swaim, who planned and super vised the pageant last year, has accepted responsibility for th» show ag;ain. “The Underground Circus,” a musical extravaganza featuring three loud, lively WNC bands will rock Chambers Gym and the surrounding area from 8 until 11 tonight. Students will be admitted by show of their ID cards. All others must pay admission. Tickets, which will be on sale at the gates, will be $2 for adults and $1 for students and children. Proceeds from the big show will go into the kitty being ac cumulated for athletic scholar ships. The program, first billed as a “battle of bands,” has been ap proved and is being supported by the Student Government Associa tion. To finance a competitive battle between the bands, SGA contributed $300 prize money. As the plans developed, how ever, the competitive idea was dropped. Instead, each band will give a 45-minute performance, and the three will split the $300. Thus, a lively evening of enter tainment is still assured. Co-sponsoring the show and supplying much of the adminis trative coordinating is the staff of Radio Station WLOS in Ashe ville. Station Manager Bob Jones will be on hand with Chuck Tay lor, the Royal Flying Doctor and other station celebrities. The out door show will not be broadcast, but it will receive ample advance publicity over WLOS Radio. Not all of the performing groups had been signed when the Hilltop went to press; however, a band distinguished by the color ful name of “The Orange Purple Marmalade” has been booked. “We know the student body is supporting this big evening of Total Faculty Tops Century Mark Nineteen persons were appoint ed to faculty status when the college began its 113th year in August. Eighteen were newcomers; the other. Dr. John Chay, was returning from a leave of ab sence. The 19 new teachers represent 17 replacements and two addi tions. The additions boost the teaching force to 101, including 9 on leave. The unusually large number of replacements was partially due to the granting of a greater than usual number of leaves of ab sence for doctoral study during 1968- 69. Two of the new faculty mem bers had previously taught at Mars Hill. Dal Shealy, who will become head football coach in 1969- 70, returned to the Depart ment of Physical Education, in which he taught during 1965-66. Joel Stegall, who taught in the Music Department and directed the choirs during 1965-66, return ed to the department to replace John P. Adams as acting chair man. The other newcomers and the departments in which they are teaching are as follows: Robert Abbott, modern languages; Ray mond Babelay, music; John Bu chanan, political science; Samuel Driggers, music; Miss Joan Groom, music; Bruce Hansen, biology; Joe Harris, business administra tion; David Holcombe, a 1966 graduate of Mars Hill, speech and drama. Dr. Fred Holtkamp, chemistry; Roger Johnson, mathematics and physics; David L. Jones, physical education; Dr. Earl Leininger, re ligion and philosophy; Gordon Mahy, art; Dr. William Sears, edu cation; and Allen Grams, English. On the basis of a gp-ant under the Title HI portion of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the college was able to award leaves of ab sence for 1968-69 with partial salary to seven members of the faculty: Mr. Adams; Worth Booth, Education Department; Miss Anne Hall, Music Department; Charlie Narron, Department of Business Administration; Wayne Pressley, Music Department; Miss Mary Ihrig, English Department; and Jack Grose, Department of Busi ness Administration. The latter two were on leave during 1967- 68. In addition to the seven granted Title HI leaves two others, Mrs. Genevieve Adams of the Chemis try Department and Miss Anna Hines of the music faculty, were granted conventional leaves for 1968-69. Robert Rich, also of the music faculty, will be on leave during the spring semester. Two new members of the pro fessional staff in the library are Alton Malone, reference librarian, and Mrs. Charlotta Hensley, cata loguer. Dr. Robert Carner was forced by his health to retire during the summer from the Department of Modern Languages. entertainment,” said Bill Deans, director of athletic promotions for the college. “We just hope the faculty and staff and other Lion fans will be equally enthusi astic. It’s going to be an excit ing show and all for a very worth while cause.” Man's Search CourseTheme “Man’s Search For Identity,” a humanities course encompassing art, music, literature, religion and philosophy, was initiated in the college academic program with the opening of the fall session. The course, under the direction of Dr. Ellison Jenkins, is the cen tral item in a series of changes in course offerings and degree requirements inaugurated with the arrival of the Class of 1972. A versatile, 14-year veteran of the faculty. Dr. Jenkins was named director of the new ven ture late in the spring and spent the summer working out the de tails of the school’s first officially sanctioned interdisciplinary stud ies. The two-semester course will be required of all sophomores. It replaces the traditional literature courses required of second-year students. Initially approximately 300 students were expected to be involved. The course is scheduled three hours per week and will carry three semester hours credit each term. The agenda calls for a ses sion involving the whole class once a week and smaller group sessions during the remaining periods. Eight members of the faculty are affiliated with the course. In addition to serving as director. Dr. Jenkins will handle the philiso- phy and religion phases. Joe Chris Robertson, head of the Art De partment, will represent his area; and Joel ’Stegall, acting head of the Music Department, will repre sent that discipline. The literature phases of the course will be the responsibility of Joseph Schubert, acting chair man, Mrs. Betty Hughes, Noel Kinnamon, Mrs. Lucille Godwin and Allen Grams. The new course is a result of academic innovation and improve ment initiated under “Emphasis on Excellence,” the long-range de velopment plan of the college. Implementation of interdisciplin ary studies was strongly urged by the committee which investi gated Mars Hill for senior college accreditation. “This program is intended to be a new approach in our teach ing,” Dr. Jenkins said. “Team teaching, panels, audio-visuals and other modern techniques will be utilized. The old straight-lec ture method will be avoided. We hope to interest the students and get them seriously involved in a search for lasting values.”
