MARS HILL COLLEGE HILLTOP
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13,1974
FRIDAY
Going into my third
year at ttHC, I have
come to the conlcu-
sion that "you can
please some of the
people some of the
time, but you cannot
please all of the
people all of the
time." So is the
case concerning the
College Union's Snack
Bar.
Those of you re
turning from last
year must remember
the hassels pertain
ing to the hours of
the Snack Bar. It
was opened from 8 AM-
9PM, meaning it was
closed during the
"hungry hours" of
9PM-11PM. Therefore,
due to complaints
from students and
faculty the College
Union Board presented
a proposal to change
the hours so that the
Snack Bar would be
opened during the
hours of 9-11. Thus
we have succeeded in
satisfying some of
the people.
This year, however
we face another prob
lem concerning the
hours. I have been
approached by several
students and faculty
who wished to express
their displeasure of
the time schedule. So
I took it upon myself
to find out the rea
sons for the schedule^
To begin with the
Snack Bar is open
Monday through Friday,
8 AM-3 PM and 7 PM-
II PM. The reason
for the break in the
hours is due to two
main factors: 1) In
reviewing the finan
cial report from
1973-74 it was found
that the Snack Bar

was not doing enough
business during the
hours of 3-7. Since
the Snack Bar must
break even why should
it operate when -it is
losing money? 2) It
is difficult, if not
impossible, to find
an adult supervisor
to work after three
o'clock. Therefore,
this year Phil Weast,
director of the Col
lege Union, has named
Larry Edmonds, a stu
dent, night super
visor.
Then, of course, a-
rises the question of
the weekend schedule.
The main difficulty
in opening the Snack
Bar on weekends again
stems from lack of
help. Mr. Weast said
it was virtually im
possible to find stu
dents and adults to
give up their Satur
days and Sundays.
This would also mean
hiring extra help and
finding the money
with which to pay
them.
Here are the facts.
Mr. Weast stated that
if anyone could guar
antee him Saturday
and Sunday business
and workers who are
willing to give up
their Saturdays and
Sundays, then perhaps
something could be
done to rectify the
present situation.

questions comments

above; or for that

exceed subscription

college). The board

HILLTOP. The college
is governed by a 36
member board of trus
tees, which exercises

BRIEFS
The North Carolina
State Bicycle Club
Dear Editor,
The one thing the
students on this
campus do have is
apathy. Mars Hill
College has cornered
the market. We can
really be proud to be
the leading school in
the nation.
But enough sarcasm.
I attended the SGA
convocation along with
45 other people. Of
these, 3 were teach
ers and out of 1600
students that is a
very poor showing.
"But I didn't know
about it" you may
say. I saw at least
3 signs advertising
the convocation.
There are signs ad
vertising everything
in the cafeteria.
College Union build
ing, etc.
There are at the
most 20 people from
each class who go
through school doing
everything in S.G.A.
Why? Because no one
else will ever do
anything. If nothing
is done, it is your
fault.
I have heard so
many people complain
ing about the poli
cies of this school.
Until you get in
volved and try to do
something, I say,
"Quit your bitching."
Judv Bates
invites the bicycl
ists of MHC to form a
