It was stated that perhaps the
Board in the future should handle
issues such as these. The Board
is responsible for enunciating opera
tional procedures. The Board made
no statement in regard to this issue.
Walter Smith, Director of Public In
formation and Chairman of the
Board stated that the Board was not
well enough defined at this time to
handle this type of situation.
George Peery, Advisor to the
radio station, remarked that it would
be for the best interest of all in
volved if the Board could handle
matters involving censorship of the
various media.
A resolution to the State Baptist
Convention concerning the church’s
stand on conscientious objection
will be presented by two Mars Hill
College students. The students.
Brock Henry, a psychology major
from Martinsville, Virginia, and John
Mason, a sophomore music and
mathematics major from Patricks
Spring, Virginia, will be attending
the convention as messengers from
the Mars Hill Baptist Church. The
convention will take place in Char
lotte tonight, tomorrow, and Wednes
day.
According to Henry, the resolution
will “encounter considerable con
troversy.” Briefly, the resolution
calls for the convention to recognize
the right of North Carolina Baptists
to apply for C.O. status on grounds
that their previous religious training
makes them against ail wars. Henry
noted that the National Baptist Con
vention recognizes this right.
Mason said that he does not ex
pect the resolution to pass easily.
“The resolution could split the con
vention right down the middle,” said
Mason, although both students felt
that the resolution would have a
slim chance at best of being accept
ed by the convention, both felt that
there was an overriding need to
bring the issue before the conven
tion.
Mason and Henry have ammassed
a large amount of Biblical commen
tary supporting their proposal.

Jolley Prof Trips Out
Something interesting is happen
ing on this campus thanks to Dr.
Jolley of the history department,
and it’s not actually on campus. If
you can strain your brain just a bit
you may remember the Announcer
carried a survey to gather student
interest and opinion on possible
field trips. Apparently, the initial
interest was enough for Dr. Jolley
to go ahead and plan some of these
trips.
A conference with Dr. Jolley will
provide you with the necessary en
thusiasm to get involved. Already
this year there has been an excurs
ion to the Andrew Jackson Museum
in Greeneville, Tenn. As he describes
this outing, Dr. Jolley moves a little
closer and his eyes acquire a dis
tant, searching look. “This Is his
tory persoriified,” he says. “You

WMHC, the campus radio station,
was closed down by Dr. Fred Bentley
on November 9. The reason for this
action was that a disc jockey had
played the Fish Cheer which includes
some language of a questionable
nature.
According to Bentley, he had three
reasons for closing down the sta
tion; first he felt that it was beneath
the dignity of the school for this
sort of thing to go on, second, it
was in violation of station regula
tions, and third, it was in violation of
F.C.C. regulations.
Several students were upset that
Bentley had not gone through the
procedure of calling the stations
faculty advisor, Mr. George Peery.
Bentley replied that “I'm not going
to be hung up on procedure when
a crisis like this is going on.” The
Disc Jockey who played the record
was dismissed by the station man
agement. WMHC resumed broad
casting the next day. According to
Bentley, the school plans no disci
plinary action against the student in
question or the station.

passes a radiator and a desk and is
now almost upon you. Somehow
there is the feeling that you're talk
ing to one of Old Hickory's aides. If
Dr. Jolley can get that much out of
one of the field trip, even If he is a
history professor, think of what you
can absorb.
Dr. Jolley expressed an “appre
ciation for our heritage” as a major
reason for these trips.
Planned for the Saturday Im
mediately following our return from
Thanksgiving break, is an all-day
adventure. The first stop will be at
Old Salem, a reconstructed Moravian
village in Winston-Salem, North Car
olina. Here, life in the pioneer com
munity will be the feature. From
there the tour will travel to Chapel
Hill, N. C., to the Morehead Plane
tarium. The main point of interest
here will be the Planetarium’s pres
entation of the Christmas story.
On the drawing board for second
semester are some real biggies,
which will require an overnight stop.
The headliner of this group is a trip
to Atlanta, Ga., which will include
visits to the Cyclorama, a Confed
erate museum. Underground Atlanta,
a section of the city restored to rep
resent the town in the days of the
Civil War, Stone Mountain, and Six
Flags.

Varner, Miss Laurel 1971. Miss Nye

Jeannie sniffled, “I don’t believe it.
No really, I don’t. I’m so pleased,
