Pioneer Chapter
Gives Scholarship
The Mars Hill College alumni
in Raleigh and Wake County are
setting an example worthy of emu
lation by similar groups all over
the state. The school has some 500
graduate^ or former students in
the capital city area and on Sept.
26 the Raleigh-Wake County "Pio
neer” alumni chapter awarded
two $500 scholarships to Miss
Karen Hutchinson and Ollin Sykes,
both of Raleigh.
Miss Hutchinson is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Elvan Hutchinson
and is a freshrnan at Mars Hill.
Sykes is a senior business major
at the school and is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. J. Sykes. The first
scholarship in the program was a-
warded last year to Thomas Rob
bins, son of Pastor and Mrs. Ronda
Robbins of Apex.
Headed by Julean Glazener, a
member of the Class of 1916, the
scholarship program reportedly
was the first launched by a Mars
Hill Alumni chapter. The group
is proud of its designation as the
“Pioneer Chapter”. Eight more
are new getting under way.
Senate Revote
On Resignations
Den
By Su Harper
Discussion of resignations of
Student Government President
Terry Kuykendall, Vice-President
Duane Cook and Cf)ief Justice Frank
Farrell played a mjaor part in the
Senate meeting Monday, Oct. 9.
President ' Kuykendall simply
stated he wanted to resign. Vice-
President Cook, looking at the
events of the previous week, gave
reasons why he resigned. He re
viewed accomplishments made by
the past week’s activities. He saw
that people showed interest in the
rights of students, their role in the
governance of Mars Hill College
and the role of SGA. Students be
came involved, interested and con
cerned with their lives as students
on campus. Cook feels that partly
as a result of student protest, the
Admissions and Academic Stand
ards Committee voted to allow stu
dents on this committee. Also, the
faculty voted to continue with the
Review Commission. Finally, lines
of communication opened were
phenomenal for the Mars Hill
Campus.
Cook indicated that some of the
mistakes made were: not informing
Senate of their plans to resign,
assuming that Senators and stu
dents were aware of the problems
of lack of communication and con
sideration between administration/
faculty/students. They did not
vocalize some aspects of the sit
uation. Letting President Bentley
chair and dominate the meeting on
Thursday, Oct. 5 was another mis
take Cook cited. With these reasons
and emphasizing his feeling that
Senators had lost faith in him as a
leader. Vice President Cook then
gave his resignation to Senate.
Next, Chief Justice Farrell pre-
