First of ali, it points to the relatively weak military posture of the Arabs, contrary to what the pro-Jewish lob by would have us believe. Secondly, it demonstrates the fear which the U.S. has of the Palestinian comman does; cleariy the administration wants very much to see Western- oriented ieaders like Hussein remain in power. Finally, it shows that the U.S. has as great, if not greater, interest in the stability of the Arab world as in the preservation of Israel. With this in mind perhaps a re versal of the Fulbright proposal might be far less “way out” than it sounds: Force Israel to withdraw to its 1967 borders and then guarantee the ter ritorial integrity of the Arabs as long as they respect Israel’s border. Again we have evidence that no easy solution, if any solution at all, is anywhere in the future. Even a proposal that would please Nasser would do little to quiet matters as long as Palestinians are barred from their homeland. Likewise, we see that about all the Arabs have in common is fear and resentment of Israel; abolish Israel and they would then turn at each other’s throat The over-riding, long range les son of the Middle East problem is slowly emerging. Unnatural imposi tion of a government contrary to nor mal criteria of national develop ment, so common in the present cen tury, is not conducive to world peace. And all Nixon’s ships and all Kosygin’s missiles can’t make it any other way. by John Ulmer The rise in complaints over food preparation and cafeteria service at Mars Hiil College levelled off to a comfortable plateau last Monday with the establishment of a Food Committee and promises of better food from both the administration and Student Government Associa tion. The Food Committee was created after Danny Ray, SGA President, dis cussed both major and minor grie vances against the cafeteria with Dr. Fred Bentley, college president. The committee, consisting of six stu dents, Ray, Dobby Charlton, Jeanne Bowen, Randy Phillips, Janet Les ter, and David Gelber, two mem bers of the facuity and two mem bers of the administration, will be re sponsible for submitting to Dr. Bent ley and President Ray a detailed report with conclusions as to the best possibie means of bettering the quality of food purchased, the prep aration of food, and cafeteria serv ice. The report is due in two weeks and the committee’s recommenda tions must be accepted by both Dr. Bentley and President Ray before any actions on those recommenda tions are taken. The college employed the serv ices of a professional consultant in the field of institutional food manage ment—a dietician from the Univer sity of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. The results of the consultant’s report will be incorporated into the final rec ommendations of the Food Commit tee. Discontent with cafeteria service has infiltrated every student circle —from SGA legislators to football players to usual apathetics. The lin ings from two possessions dear to most MHC students—stomachs and pocketbooks—have received undo irritation, according to students’ complaints in Senate discussions, dorm rooms, and the crowded Slop Shop. Interested in an understanding of the issue based on further clarifica tion, the Hilltop sponsored a ran dom poll concerning the issue for on-campus students. The poll, which went out to 309 students, was car ried out in each dormitory and cot tage. Results of the poll reflect the opinions of 20.6 percent of the stu dent body. They are as follows: 1. How would you rate the prepara tion of food in the cafeteria? A. Very good 0% B. Good 7.3% C. Mediocre 30.5% D. Poor 36.5% E. Very poor 25.2% .6% of those polled did not re spond to this question 2.

Perhaps an awareness of this philosophy, boosted by a bit of imagination concerning the possible practical applications of this philoso phy, was the motivating factor in the establishment of the new Volun teer Services Program. The pro gram, which coordinates all student volunteer services, is co-sponsored by Student Government Association and the Community Development Institute. Danny Ray, president of SGA, de veloped the idea of the program and presented a proposal for it to the Executive Committee of the Serv ice-Learning Board, chaired by Dr. Richard Hoffman, Vice President in Charge of Academic Affairs. The proposal was accepted and the pro gram became operative late last month. Donna Vaughn, a junior majoring in elementary education, has been appointed Director of the program. Assistant Director is Perry Spring- field, a junior majoring in math. Faculty advisor is Mr. George Peery of the political science-sociology de partment; he will act as a communi cations channel between the pro gram and the Service-Learning Board. The Board acts in a policy making capacity for all service-learn ing endeavors sponsored by Mars Hill College. The program, at present, sponsors several art and music lessons In communities throughout Madison County and plans to extend these services to Buncombe and Yancey Counties. Projected service programs in- ciude the establishment of a “buddy system” for youth in the Swannanoa Juvenile Detention Center and the establishment of a tutor training corps. The latter would, using local tutor expertise, train high school students in the three-county area to tutor younger pupils. Efforts have already begun to provide voluntary student assistance to a tutorial program coordinated by Harry Quiett and sponsored by Asheville area churches. The limitations to this program will be determined by the Imagina tions and donated time and efforts of students. Anyone interested in volunteering ideas or time to the program should call Donna or Perry at 689-1127 or go by to see them any weekday afternoon in Room 209 of the Office Building.
