that “education is not a
® sport and that students
should be more involved in all as
pects of their education whether it
be decisions about college policies,
the curriculum or programs on cam
pus.”
Although Mrs. Joyce is in an ad
ministrative capacity at this time
she hopes to teach a class or two
eventually. At present she feels
that her responsibility as an edu
cator now is in the supportive sen
se of providing a climate in which
students learn most efficiently.
“Education does not end in the
classroom; it begins there and the
educational process should per
meate the whole life of the cam
pus.” Mrs. Joyce goes on to say
that the residence halls should be
an intergal part of the educative
process.
This year Mrs. Joyce’s biggest
responsibility will be the supervi
sion of resident counselors. She is
very equipped to handle this job
in that she was a residence hall
counselor during her graduate
study. Also she is presently work
ing on an advanced degree in guid
ance and counseling.
In addition to her job at the col
lege and her work at home Mrs.
Joyce enjoys sports such as ten
nis, swimming and ballgames. As
is the temperment of the rest of the
Student Affairs Area, she is willing
to talk to anyone, anytime at any
place. She says “If a person is more
comfortable on a tennis court, then
I’ll meet him there. I want the stu
dents to feel welcome at Mars Hill
and hope that they will come by
and see me If I don’t get the oppor
tunity to see them first.”
At the Student Government Asso
ciation Workshop which began yes
terday, elected officers and repre
sentatives of the Mars Hill College
student body were presented with a
proposed constitution which was ac
cepted for review and referral to
that group by the SGA Summer
Council.
According to SGA President
Danny Ray, the proposed constitu
tion, which boasts an updated pre
amble, carries a number of signi
ficant features. It incorporates all
constitutional changes from the last
three administrations, permits com
muters representation in the Senate,
and clarifies the duties of every
member of the executive branch. It
provides, for the first time in the
history of SGA at this college, the
president with a cabinet that is rep
resentative of every facet of cam
pus life and every branch of stu
dent government.
The proposed constitution pro
vides for a division of power in the
legislative branch: the Senate deals
with all college policies and the
Housing Council, which replaces
the Commission, is given complete
authority in all matters which re
late to housing.
The judicial branch has been re
vised to include an enlarged court
and a guide to judicial procedures.
According to President Ray, one
of the most significant provisions
of the proposed constitution is the
inclusion of student representatives
on the following College Commit
tees, formerly Faculty Committees:
Plans and Policies, Curriculum, Re
ligious Life, Library, Traffic, Athle
tics, and Campus Activities.
SGA Sponsors Greeks
Two other provisions call for the
establishment of an Intra-Club
Council and an Intra-Greek Coun
cil under SGA sponsorship. The
president of the Intra-Club Council
would be elected from its member
ship of the presidents of each of
the 33 clubs on campus and the
president of the Intra-Greek Coun
cil would be elected from its mem
bership of the presidents of each
sorority and fraternity on campus.
The functions of these two coun
cils, according to President Ray,
would be to correlate the activities
of the organizations they represent
and to help the organizations oper
ate as efficiently as possible.
Impeachment of any officer in
SGA is provided in the proposed
constitution; it is not included in
the present constitution. The stu
dent body is granted the right to
petition the Senate by ten per cent
of the student body for the pur
pose of changing laws or amending
the constitution.
SGA sponsored or co-sponsored
a number of activities during the
summer months which will be of
benefit to the student body. The
Handbook was completely revised
and includes such innovations as a
student activities calendar, pictures
of all SGA representatives, and a
list of all student regulations.
A freshman handbook, compiled
earlier this month and containing
pictures of all freshmen, will be
ready for distribution sometime this
week.
Students were offered, through
correspondence this summer, the
opportunity to rent refrigerators at
the cost of one for $15 per semes
ter. President Ray had ordered 100
refrigerators this summer; all 100
were reserved by August 18. Those
students who reserved refrigerators
may claim them tomorrow during
registration for classes.
Movies for $.47
President Ray arranged with Mr.
Charles MacFarland, Manager of the
Mars Theatre, for students to be
able to purchase a season pass to
the theatre for the price of $15.
This charge permits students to see
32 viewings at the cost of $.47 per
movie. SGA has procured the right
to help choose movies. Some of the
movies which will be shown during
fall semester are On a Clear Day
You Can See Forever, Anne of a
Thousand Days, A Dream of Kings,
MASH, Patton, Catch 22, and Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Tic
kets cost $1.25 at the door.
SGA will sponsor student depart
mental committees for each of the
13 academic departments. Each
committee will be comprised of three
students majoring in the field of
fered by the respective depart
ments; committee members are ap
pointed by and responsible to SGA.
They will attend faculty department
al committee meetings and will be
concerned with such issues as the
proposed adoption of the 4-1-4 sys
tem and departmental changes.
SGA will sponsor official college
hostesses. The hostesses, 30 girls
from the various campus sororities,
will wear official ensembles and
will represent the student body at
all college functions.
Two public relations teams, ap
pointed and sponsored by SGA,
will work closely with Mr. Jim Cox,
Director of Development, and will
speak to civic clubs and church
groups across the state. Each
team will be comprised of one ath
lete, two music students, and two
students who are qualified to speak
on the total scope of Mars Hill Col
lege. Mr. Cox is, at this time, plan
ning speaking engagements for
these teams in Washington, D.C.
and in towns in North Carolina.
In preparation for the 1970 foot
ball season, pictures of the football
players will be placed in the lounge
of the student center which is pres
ently undergoing a facelift. The stu
dent center has been renamed The
Lions’ Den.
The Lions’ Den will be Engish
Tudor in design and will, according
to Ray, offer a radically different
atmosphere than it has in the past.
The separation of the lounge and
grill will offer students a place to
study and carry on quiet conversa
tion as well as a place to eat, play
cards, and “shoot the bull.” A new
floor covering has been installed;
new furniture and a bulletin board
for students’ use will be installed
in the next four to six weeks. So
rorities and fraternities are invited
to donate their organizations’ in-
signas to be hung in The Lions’
Den. Open 7 a.m. until 10 p.m.. The
Lions’ Den will be operated by stu
dents with the exception of a full
time, college-hired postmaster.
SGA is now attempting to organ
ize a Married Women’s Club to help
meet the interests of married women
on campus.
Students Evaluate Faculty
A Student Committee on Faculty
Development will be appointed by
SGA to act as intermediary between
students and faculty and to carry
out an extensive faculty evaluation
in the spring.
There are five proposed bills
which now face Senate debate and
acceptance or rejection. They are
as follows: 1) open hours for senior
girls, aged 21 and over, 2.) the
establishment of an SGA Scholarship
Committee which would sponsor
scholarships through student-raised
monies and matching foundation
grants, 3.) the establishment of a
Library Fund to be created by rais
ing SGA fees by $1 and by procur
ing matching foundation grants, 4.)
off-campus, college-approved hous
ing for seniors aged 21 and over and
5.) the pro-rating of class funds so
that the junior class might have
more funds to sppnsor its Jr.-Sr.
and that the senior class might ap
propriate more funds towards its
class gift.
“Mr. Cool” Is Here
Danny Ray, president of the Stu
dent Government Association, an
nounced this summer that refrigera
tors wiil be leased to Mars Hill Col
lege students and that they will re
ceive them.
The refrigerators are called “Mr.
Cool” and are furnished by Leasing,
Inc. from Columbia, S. C. Leasing,
inc. states that the eiectricity that
is used for a 100 watt buib is more
than it takes to run “Mr. Cooi.”
“Mr. Cooi” is two cubic feet, has
an automatic controi, weighs 38
pounds and has a strong durable fi
berglass exterior.
Last year this similar type of re
frigerator was offered to the stu
dents, but they never received them.
Danny says that things iook good so
far and hopefuiiy students will re
ceive them this year.
“The price this year is $15 and
wili be coliected during registra
tion” said Danny. The refrigerators
wili be handed out that day.
Due to the electricai fixtures in
some dorms, only a limited number
will be leased to these dorms. Danny
said that the refrigerators for those
dorms wiil be sold on a first come
first served basis.
