Speaking with Miss Nancy Buch

she seems to be very optimistic
about the pageant, having worked on
it for two months. She said, “The
main purpose of the pageant is to
choose a Beauty Queen for the
Laurel, where each dorm selects its
own representative.” She added, “it’s

After returning from your long and
restful fall break you will probably
be confronted with the realization
that the Homecoming committee has
by no means been resting on their
laurels. In fact they have put to
gether Fall Festival Week, Oct. 25-
30, which is just that, a week of
gridiron spectaculars, song, dance,
bridge parties, etc., all culminating
to a festival frenzy for the Home
coming weekend. During the week
dorms will have the opportunity to
plan and carry out desired functions
if they contact Perry White and dis
cuss the nature and time of the
function. For the dorms involved
there will be a clause providing in
terdorm visitation.
So the week is up to the dorms
to make it a goodie; but weekend
is going to be a goodie anyway. Fri
day Oct. 29 the Georgia Prophets
will get it rolling with a dance; they
have been known for being able to
change a lifeless crowd into a
throng of throbing enjoyment. Next
in the line of events will be the
game, so grab your favorite girl (be
fore someone else does) get the
stadium blanket out of moth-balls
and run down and buy your mum.
The team fs what Homecoming is
all about anyway.
And then there’s the concert! For
our music entertainment we will
have none other than the Happen
ings, happening for us in concert-
free, of course! The Happenings
have three gold records, and what
with selling a million copies of “My
Mammy” and “1 Got Rhythm” they
are bound to sell a couple thousand
Mars Hill students. Also, they are
as good on stage as on record, a feat
that is hard to match, and are
known for being able to churn out
a superior performance.
All of this entertainment is free, for
those who blew it all fall break, and
only requires your dancing feet, a sta
dium blanket and some listening ears
for a real, one heck of a fun week.

The October 12 meeting of the
SGA senate was convened by Vice
President Terry Kuykendal at 7:30 in
FA 144. Extensive lobbying on the
part of a group of Freshman women
for the extention of dating privi-
lages to Freshman girls similar to
those enjoyed by upperclassmen
caused the senate to present and
pass a motion to that effect. The
motion was then sent to Legislative
Review.
Miss Marilyn Tucker, President of
the Sophomore class, was named
Secretary of Internal Affairs. The
announcement was made by Vice
President Kuykendal. Senator David
Gasperson submitted a report on
work done by his committee into the
matter of a Book Rental system.
The senate then appointed a com
mittee consisting of Senators Cald
well, Watson, and Struggs, to study
the possibility of final exam exemp
tion for students with an “A” in the
course. The senate then adjourned
the meeting.
