102 Degrees
Given at
Mid-Term
Registrar Robert
R. Chapman has an
nounced that 87 stu
dents completed re
quirements for their
bachelor's degrees in
December. According
to Chapman, another
15 are expected to
receive their degrees
after the mini-mester
term bringing the
December and January
graduation total to
102 students. This
is the largest number
of students to gradu
ate at mid-term in
the college's histo
ry . However, these
students will not be
able to receive their
diplomas until spring
because Mars Hill on
ly holds graduation
exercises in May and
at the end of svunmer
school in August.
Twenty of the mid
term graduates were
enrolled in the Car
eer Opportunity Pro
gram which was start
ed four years ago
when there was a
shortage of elementa
ry teachers. All of
the students in the
program were employed
as teacher's aids and
were teaching in
schools in the morn
ing and returning for
classes in the after
noon and evening.
All of the COP mid
term graduates have
been hired as teach
ers in the school
systems of Asheville,
Buncombe County, and
Madison County.

Streaking,
New
Campus
Fad?
(CPS)-Swallowing gol
dfish, stuffing phone
booths, and smoking
dope can't compare to
the latest college
fad—streaking— or
running around in the
nude.
At the University
of Maryland (UM) at
College Park this
pasttime has become
particularly evident,
although according to
the campus police
chief only one nude
runner has been ar
rested so far this
year. The runner was
charged with assault
and disorderly con
duct after hitting a
resident director who
tried to make him go
inside.
The record for
mass running in the
nude was set at UM by
about 125 sprinters,
mostly male, who cir
culated a dining hall
while spectators urg
ed them on with
shouts, music, and
firecrackers.
A group of coeds
claim they held the
most bizarre nude e-
vent, a mock wedding
in which the partici
pants wore only hats
and headdresses.
One student claims
he started the nude
activities by taking
off his pants in
front of a girl's
dormitory.
"It wasn't premed
itated," he notes.
"We just decided to
do it after we got
Mars Hill College
has received a $60,
000 grant from the
Law Enforcement As
sistance Administra
tion of the U.S. De
partment of Justice
and the North Caro
lina Govamor' s Com
mittee on Law and Or
der to implement a
new program in juven
ile corrections.
The grant will en
able Mars Hill to
graduate trained per
sonnel! which will
ease the shortage of
professionals that
deal exclusively with
juveniles. "Fully a
third of all offen
ders under correc
tional treatment are
juveniles," stated
Dr. Donald N. Ander
son, project super
visor and chairman of
the Sociology Depart
ment.
"Our proposal was
based on three pre
cepts ," continued An
derson .* The first
was the realization
by all investigative
agencies, from the
President's committee
on down, that instit
utionalization of an
offender does not en
courage the type of
behavior that is pro
ductive and does not
help to reintegrate
the offender back in
to community life.
The second fact is
that yoimg people are
interested in helping
people in their own
age group. "Mars
Hill College has,
since its beginning,
prepared young people
for service in their
communities," commen-
drunk one night at a
mixer and..."
The activity is
not limited to col
leges. Time magazine
reports that Los An
geles housewives are
prone to shedding
their clothes and lo
ping off into the
cool California
night. Few streakers
ted Anderson, " This
program will provide
for training in an
area that is of vital
interest to them. *'
The third area was
the recognition of
the need for profes
sional assistance to
juveniles in Southern
Appalachia. There
are currently two
full-time profession
als who have respons
ibility to the four
counties in Judicial
District Four. Madi
son County, where the
college is located,
is one county and the
others are Yancey, A-
very, and Mitchell
Counties.
The juvenile cor
rections program will
fall under the area
of a new degree pro
gram approved by the
college's board of
trustees at their
Winter meeting. The
Bachelor of Social
Work will cover, in
addition to Juvenile
Corrections, child
welfare, individuals
and groups, and com
munity based organi
zations . The degree
will have a common
core of academic
courses for all-four
areas with concentra
tions in each area.
Although the pro
gram was fully funded
this week, a precost
agreement was reached
earlier in the school
year and several stu
dents have already
been enrolled. Seven
of these have recent
ly completed a unique
portion of the degree
requirements: a six
month's internship
