MARS HILL - While
some schools are com
paring their situa
tion to Old Mother
Hiibbard, Mars Hill
College likens its
situation to that of
the Little Old Lady
in the Shoe. Ebr the
third straight year,
officials are ’ pre
dicting that enroll
ment records will
fall. "We are being
conservative when we
predict 1550 stu
dents ," comments act
ing admissions direc
tor David Mathews.
This month the col
lege will begin its
119th year with a
completely new cur
riculum. Initially
funded by a $ 100,000
grant from the Kel
logg Foundation, the
new competence based
program is designed
to identify certain
skill and knowledge
levels which repre
sent the ideal intel
lectual, emotional,
and psychological de
velopment of each
student. It is the
only such program in
the state, and one of
a handful in the
nation.
This new approach
will emphasize the
accountability of the
college in the pro
gress of each student,
and, more importantly,
will recognize that,
many different levels
and capacities for
learning exists with
in the student body.
This means that each
student will have an

sult is that the col
lege will be able to
certify that each
s-tudent who receives
a degree will be able
to demonstrate pro
ficiency in his cho
sen area.
Officials contir-
bute the rise in en
rollment to several
factors. "We have a
low attrition rate a-
mong our returning
students," comments
Mathews, "and since
expanding our staff,
we have been able to
respond quicker to
more people than be
fore ." Mathews also
credits the college's
alumni with a more
active role in iden
tifying prospective
students.
Vice-president for
academic affairs, Dr.
Richard Hoffman said
that the new curricu
lum is a key factor
in the increased at

programs which do not

these are extensive
