1,7901, ... ...
by Gayla Green
The proposed construction of a
new student center and a new class
room building to replace the facili
ties now being used in McConnell
was the main topic of discussion by
the Building and Grounds Commit
tee of the Board of Trustees and the
Finance Committee last week. The
full Board of Trustees in its Dec.
1970 meeting, had authorized Dr.
Bentley to proceed with preliminary
planning for these two proposed
buildings.
Scaled models of each building
were prepared by the college’s
architectural firm. Six Associates of
Asheville, showing the proposed
floor plans and shapes of the two
buildings. These models v/ere
available for the members of the
two trustee committees to inspect
and discuss last week.
The proposed student center is to
be constructed south of the cafe
teria, between the Science Building
and the football stadium. This will
require tearing down the white
house next to the cafeteria driveway
and Landers Cottage.
This week the proposed student
center was recommended to the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Board of
Trustees. If approved by that com
mittee the plans will go to the full
board at its May 15 business ses
sion.
If the full board gives the final
approval to the plans the college
will advertise for bids on the project.
When the bids have been received
and properly reviewed the contract
will be awarded and construction
will begin, hopefully during the com
ing summer. It is estimated that
construction will take approximately
two years. The cost of the building
with its furnishings is anticipated to
exceed $1 million.
The Student Activities Staff and
officers of SGA had opportunity to
participate in the preliminary plan
ning for the new student center as
the offices for the two groups will
be housed in the new structure. The
new building will also provide fa
cilities for student publications, a
coffeehouse, and the college book
store. The student center facilities
will include the student post office,
snack bar and lounge facilities, rec
reation area (pool table, ping pong,
etc.), television rooms, etc. As is
now planned there will be an open
patio facing the football stadium.
A small auditorium is also planned
in the total facilities. In addition
there will be conference and sem
inar rooms and several areas for in
formal student gatherings. Quite a
bit of glass is to be utilized in the
building and there are some inter
esting and exciting views to be had
out the west side of the structure.
A special feature of the new
building will be ramps which will
make the various floors accessible
to handicapped persons. The first-
floor level, which will face the foot
ball stadium, will have access at
the level of Athletic Street, which
now runs beside the stadium. The
second-floor level will have on-grade
access from the other side of the
building, the side facing eastward,
toward McConnell and the center of
campus.
In outward appearance the new
buildings will blend nicely with its
“neighbors” the cafeteria and the
science building. It will be veneered
in red brick with limestone or
poured-in-place concrete trim.
All in all, it should be a highly
functional, free-access building with
an atmosphere inviting students to
utilize and enjoy the various facili
ties.
Pay Now; Laurel Later
Distribution of the 1971 Laurel
will begin Thursday or Friday,
according to Judy Tallman, editor.
Keys Printing Corp. of Greenville,
S. C., printer of the book, notified
the staff last week that binding
operations should be completed
Wednesday and the shipment deliv
ered either that afternoon or Thurs
day morning.
Distribution will be handled by the
Laurel staff from the Laurel-Hilltop-
Cadenza offices in the Montague
Building. Only students who have
paid their college bill or who have
made arrangements with the Busi
ness Office to settle their accounts
will be eligible to receive a copy.
Eligibility will be certified by the
Business Office by the distribution
of a special card to students whose
accounts are settled. This card
must be presented to Laurel staff
personnel in order to receive a copy
of the book.
If you ‘have not received your
card by Wednesday morning, April
28, it will probably mean that your
account is unpaid and you should
check with the Business Office. Li
brary fines due, infirmary charges,
traffic tickets, room damage charges
and other such miscellaneous
charges constitute part of the total
account for which satisfactory ar
rangements must be made before
one of the special entitlement cards
is given.
Cards for eligible commuters who
do not have a box in the student
post office will be distributed by
U.S. mail.
No copies of the '71 Laurel will
be issued from the Montague Build
ing for other than students. Faculty
and staff members who wish to
purchase a copy may do so through
the bookstore. College offices
which wish a copy for office files
must request them through the
bookstore and have them charged
to their account.
Radio Station Airs Things Out
by Ed Sams
New renovations planned for the
MHC radio station include new and
wider selections of radio programs
and a new budget proposal for next
year.
A new list of programs for station
232 includes Silhouette, a Methodist
Church sponsored program of relig
ious music; Powerline, a similar pro
gram sponsored by the Baptist
Church: and Dialogue. Dialogue is
a new hour long talk-show broad
casting every Tuesday night at 7:30
in which campus figures come on
the air and answer questions called
into the station by students on the
spot besides following the shows
regular format. One guest speaker
on the program has been Danny
Ray, and it is hoped that others in
the near future will include Dr. Fred
Bentley and Mr. Don Caldwell.
John Foster, station manager of
232, submitted to President Bentley
a proposal which allows an appro
priated budget of $980 and that all
bookkeeping will be handled by the
college business office.
Changes this semester have in
cluded also a wider scope of ads
which are now solicited from Ashe
ville as well as the Mars Hill area.
(With the station’s new package deal
of selling 80 thirty-second ad spots
for $15 and the budget appropria
tion, the managers hope to be able
to buy one new piece of broadcast
ing equipment each year.)
Other ideas still on the drawing
board are a “favorite teacher” con
test and a fund raising drive for an
operation on “Dammit,” resident dog
on campus.
Through a recent poll it was found
that 85% of the students listen to 232
and 30 to 40% listen nightly. Ac
cording to Paul Rood, sales director,
“The station, given a chance and a
little backing from SGA, can be a
bigger voice than ever to the MHC
students.”
One new show started by station
232 last Tuesday, April 20 is the
Mike O’Brian show with disc jockey
Karl Brady as MC of the platter ses
sion which offers the top 100 songs
of the national chart. Songs such as
“We Can Work It Out” by Donnie
Osborne and humorous “quickies”
make up this lively program that
broadcasts every Tuesday and
Thursday from four to six.
