John Hough, head 'lepartn The annual meeting of the North Carolina Baptist State Convention was held in Greensboro, Nov. 9-11. The convention was attended by Dr. Fred B. Bentley, College President. The convention approved the new members to the MHC Board of Trus tees, Tuesday morning. They are Dr. W. O. Brazil of Asheville, Dr. W. Thomas Lane of Franklin, Mrs. Bur- rette Myers of Statesville, Dr. Robert Owen of Canton, Dr. A. U. Stroupe of Mt. Holly, Mr. C. C. Wall of Lexing ton, Mr. George Pickering of Black Mountain, Mr. Glenn Watts of States ville, and Mr. Charles Bruce of Mars Hill. All the above have served terms with the trustees’ or advisors’ Boards with the exception of Dr. Lane, who is new to both boards. These appointees will replace nine board members whose terms are ex piring this year. The convention also adopted a budget of $5,500,000 for the coming year, with the seven colleges slated to receive 25.6% of that figure. Mars Hill’s share will amount to $261,791 with an additional $10,000 from the annual Fathers Day offering. This is a gain of $8,632 over last year. While much of this money must go toward operating expenses, the rest will be devoted to “retiring the in debtedness on our buildings,” ac cording to Dr. Bentley. A resolution to amend the consti tution to more clearly define the terms by which a trustee could be removed from the board was de feated; the proposal was included in the bylaws. Mars Hill was given permission to apply for a Federal grant under Title I of the 1965 Higher Education act, but the college was also given per mission to renew its grant under Title III of the same act. These grants will give MHC more funds to con tinue programs of curriculum and faculty development and to expand our community development pro gram. Dr. Bentley called the con vention “very successful.” The first installment of a pay as we go plan will sound off tonight at 8:00 in Moore Auditorium with Little Anthony and the Imperials. Yes, they’re the same Little Anthony and the Imperials who recorded such hits as “Let the Sunshine In,” “Goin’ Out of My Head,” and “Hurt So Bad,” only now they’re on the come back trail after a long silence, with MHC as one of their first engage ments. This is the first concert where admission will be charged, at the rate of $1.00 per student and $2.00 per member of the general public. This strategy was conceived by Di rector of Student Activities Perry White, and backed by 407 of the 528 students who returned question naires pertaining to a pay as you go policy. According to Perry, this is the most reasonable solution to the dilemma of a limited budget. An annual budget of $12,000, which must cover expenses for dances, concerts, and movies does not allow for the extravagant events so many students desire. One night stands get expensive. The Associa tion ask $8,500, Dionne Warwick, $12,500, the Jackson Five, $25,000. Our $12,000 per year budget does only so much. Tickets for tonight’s concert will be on sale'at the door of Moore Audi torium, Mars Hill Pharmacy, and the Student Center. It would be unfair not to mention that Little Anthony and the Imperi als are filling in for the twice hoped for. The Impressions. Perry says Tne Impressions will be here for a con cert sometime before Christmas holi days and will play for a greatly re duced rate. They failed to meet their contract to perform last month for Homecoming because they didn’t al low sufficient travel time to reach this mountain hamlet and arrived too late. The Impressions were booked to perform tonight but bowed out to meet another engagement. Continuing campus entertainment next Tuesday, MHC will host one of the most popular and versatile of the West Indian steelband ensembles, the Trinidad Tripoli. Performing on the MHC stage at 8:00 p.m. Tues day night, the Trinidad Tripoli are on their third swing through the North American continent. The 28 members of the Trinidad Tripoli play pop, rock, classical and calypso music on their tempered oil drums. Their repertoire ranges from selections of the rock musical “Hair” to Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus.” The Trinidad Tripoli was formed in 1939 during the early wild and raucous days of the steelbands. They took their name from an action-pack ed war movie, “The Shores of Tri poli,” and soon became a fixture of carnivals and Port-of-Spain music spots. They gave a command per formance for Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to Trinidad five years ago. The steelband is conducted by Rev. Fr. John Sewell, an Anglican priest who has been musical direc tor of the Trinidad Tripoli since 1965. The new pay as we go policy, which will be in effect for all forth coming concerts, will make or break our entertainment budget. It’s up to the students. The Trinidad Tripoli Steelband
