Page Two Satisfy the Customer If the educational Institution Is a business enterprise why do customer students have no valid avenue through which to remark on or question the types of goods and services bartered in the market place? It Is unlikely that a person in this community who purchases a good from any competitive market would have no legal channel by which he could register com ments or complaints. However, the student, who pur chases an "education package,” has no uniform outlet through which he may express his satisfaction or dis satisfaction with that package. If the education institution Is a business enterprise why do the merchant faculty have no valid avenue through which to discover consumer reactions to their goods and services? In academia, as elsewhere, there are often discre pancies between the assumed and the actual, the de sired and the realized, as regards to sound curriculum and instruction. Some of these discrepancies could pos sibly be minimized with the incorporation of annual faculty and curriculum evaluations by students. Certainly such evaluations, sponsored and publicized by an or ganization such as SGA, would establish the channels of communication already described as missing here and would provide the kinds of statistical information which could be most helpful to several of the College Com mittees. In the recent past faculty evaluations have met with some disfavor at Mars Hill, due partially to poor organi zation of the evaluations and due partially to Improper communication students to faculty about the nature of the evaluations. Annual evaluations sponsored by SGA could easily eliminate these handicapping factors. Mars Hill has sought In many ways to alleviate stu dent-faculty discontent by offering responsible alterna tives. It is time for the students to respond accordingly and to initiate annual faculty and curriculum evalua tions. —Linda Baldwin MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Monday, March 1, Way, March 1 Issues Anchor Campaign LE MAN ON CAMPUS In the past SGA elections have revolved around pertinent issues. We feel the same is true in this elec tion. We would like to remind or acquaint students with some of these Issues so that they might discuss them with the various candidates before deciding upon their ballot choices. Some of these issues are: redistribution of activity funds, student environmental action, judicial reform, liberalization of women’s rights, housing improvements, library accreditation, faculty and curriculum evaluation, parking facilities, and right of 21-year-olds to live off campus. We would like to stress the fact that, without stu dent participation at the polls, these issues cannot be resolved. —The Editorial Board ‘Can Do’ Did It Following a year crammed with improvements In the structure and function of student government, the "Can Do” administration comes to a close In the near future. President Ray is to be commended for his untiring efforts to aid the development of SGA and for his long hours devoted to meeting SGA’s many off-campus respon sibilities. Next week’s election of ’71-’72’s four executive SGA officers wili see students yieid a scuiptor’s decisive mark upon the yet nondescript face of next year’s stu dent government. Integrity wiil not permit that mark to be made carelessiy, without consideration. The election itself will not be the greatest deter mining factor in the deveiopments next year. There is the inevitable constant of life; change. There are the vari ables of communications, relationships, trust, aiiiances, success, and failure to be met. But the election will be one determining factor and its effects will be infinite. Between the conception And the creation Between the emotion And the response Falls the shadow Life is very long. —T. S. Eliot No chaiienge is more perplexing than the unanswered one, no confrontation more haunting than the finished one. —Linda Baldwin FINAL r 6AV€LA?r7m\' 0UT THl$ TiMe T CHANiaEP TH£ » bounds o f the ^imeA LIBRARY LAMENT Dear Editor, The library here Is an Integral part of our educational system. Stu dents spend much time there check ing out books, doing research for term papers, reading newspapers and magazines, studying and . . . settling over-due book fines. It is understandabie that these students wouid probabiy have suggestions to make in the way of improving the library but often they do not know whom to contact. As a student re presentative to the Coilege Library Committee, i am trying to get ideas from the students and facuity as re gards changes or material they would like to see in the iibrary. This coming week questionnaries concerning the library will be circu lated In the dorms. Opinions and sug gestions can be made on the sub ject. I would personally like to hear some comments on the library.

This sur prised me considerably, because the toilet paper used by everyone on this campus is not colored, and is more like sandpaper than toilet paper anyway. If Mars Hill students are to serious ly begin a battle against the polution of this community, then let us start by attacking the cafeteria staff who, each and every evening, give the air near the cafeteria a black haze and an offensive odor by burning what is probably unused food.
