An intensive three-week environ
mental workshop for state public
school teachers will be held in July
at Mars Hill College, co-sponsored
by the U. S. Forest Service and the
college's environmental education di
vision.
The workshop will be the only such
one in the state and the only one
in the nation set up with the aid of
the U. S. Forest Service according
to Dr. Harley E. Jolley, environmental
education director for the college. It
is designed to give teachers a know
ledgeable awareness of the environ
mental interdependency of man and
his ecological community.
“The challenge which we now face
is simple,’’ he said this week. “We
either make peace with our environ
ment and promote its and our well
being or continue to make war upon
it and promote our seif destruction.
“The challenge can be met wisely
if young people are taught that man’s
physical, spiritual and economic well
being is geared to the wise use of
his environmental habitat.”
imagined on the stage of Mars Hill
College.
Other members of the Phi Mu
Alpha staff of directors whose hard
work has made this show possible
are Carroll Aldrige, senior math ma
jor and technical director, Paul
Sholar, junior music major and
president of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia
and John Gideon sophomore music
major handling the stage manage
ment and publicity.
The show will run about two hours
and, considering the work which
has gone into it, should be the big
gest thing to hit good ole M. H. C.
since the six inch rule was mis
placed.
There will be a reception after the
show given by the Student Govern
ment Association for special guests,
faculty and administration and any
students who wish to attend.
Kuykendall Named Editor
A step-up from managing editor
to editor-in-chief of the Hilltop by
rising sophomore Terry Kuykendall
was announced this week by Wal
ter Smith, advisor to the staff.
The 18-year-old English major
from Richmond, Va., has held the
Number 2 spot on the Hilltop staff
during the 1969-70 academic year,
assisting editor-in-chief Linda Bald
win in all phases of the management
of the paper. Linda, first student
ever to serve two consecutive years
as editor-in-chief, is resigning after
the current semester for a position
as student coordinator for the sum
mer internship program of the Com
munity Development Institute.
Terry will assume the duties of the
editorship at the opening of the
1970-tl session: however, he will
give a good deal of thought to the
paper during the summer. He will be
serving an Internship in public re
lations with the Wolf-Laurel Enter
prises at Big Bald Mountain, a re
sort area being developed just north
of the campus.
A successful candidate for SGA
Treasurer in the recent campus
wide elections, Terry could become
the center of a controversy. Some
persons on campus have expressed
their opinion that he should not be
permitted to hold both the editor
ship and the treasurer’s position.
He says he feels capable of hand
ling both jobs and does not plan
to resign from either position.
“In fact, I believe my interest in
and work with student government
will enhance my effectivenss as edi
tor, and my duties and experiences
as editor should help me make a
worthwhile contribution to student
government,” he said.
Jolley said the idea for the work
shop was sparked by the public
hearings throughout the state by the
North Carolina General Assembly’s
Task Force on Environment and Na
tural Resources. The task force was
set up by State 23rd District Rep.
Norwood E. Bryan of Fayetteville to
determine the need for environmental
curriculum in public schools.
Bryan and Dr. Eddie West of Ral
eigh, consultant with the N. C. De
partment of Public Instruction, will
make public the task force’s report
during a concluding session of the
workshop, Thursday, July 23.
The workshop will run from Mon
day, July 6, through Friday, July 24,
and delve into the use and abuse of
natural and human resources of
Southern Appalachia.
Using visiting specialist, field trips
and a mixed-media approach, the
workshop will take up weekly topics
of "Man and th Forest,” “Man and
his Resources” and “Man and the
