MOVIN' ON
Hasta luego and
Happy New Year! Happy
New Year? For those
of us who are walking
across the stage for
our diploma, gradua
tion has the excite
ment and touch of
sadness that a new
year brings; the be
ginning of a new era.
Some people may be
happy to be leaving
Mars Hill and gradu
ate, at last, while
others are feeling
nostalgic. We will
eventually remember
the good moments at
Mars Hill; the bad
ones will become
blurred.
Excited or nostal
gic, it's time to
move on. Movin' on
to jobs, careers,
graduate school, mar
riage ,. .Life .
I feel a mixture of
tears and laughter. I
have achieved most of
my academic objec
tives at Mars Hill.
The quality of edu
cation I have re
ceived has been su
perior. (I would re
commend the Modern
Foreign Languages De
partment to anyone! )
I was interested in
content and finding
meaning and fulfill
ment in learning, not
a means for a living.
My B. A. means very
little on the job
market right now, but
it means a lot to me
because I have done
what I wanted to do
and enjoyed it.
Friends, Romans,
countrymen, profes
sors, comrades, co
workers, et. al., a
big thanks to every
one. You 're beautiful!
QUESTIONNAIRE.
2) No, because the
Psychology Department
does not have the e-
quipment or material
to fully prepare some
one for a career in
Psychology.
3) My attitudes
have changed mostly
in the areas of reli
gion and sexual equal
ity.

4) I wish that I
had spread myself out
to other departments
and activities. By
this I mean, 1 wish I
could have had the
opportunity to work
with President Bently
on the administrative
aspect. Dr. Hoffman
on the academic level,
instead of spending
my last three years
only in the Student
Development Office.
5) Yes, I wouldr
Mars Hill offers the
opportunity to learn
within an almost per
fect environment. All
the student needs to
do is to express an
interest and the
doors will open.
Eric Garner:
In answer to the
questions that were
asked, let me first
say that to me, MHC's
strongest point is
its people. Without
the people who care
and work hard for
what they believe in,
this school would not
be as strong a char
acter builder as it
is. MHC is to each
person what they put
into it and thank God
a lot of people have
put themselves on the
line for her.
The second strong
est point is the
Classroom Without
Walls. Internships
and extra-curricular
activities are the
strengths of a resume
which put students
from this school a-
head of those with
diplomas from big
universities. If you
thinking and writing
which are going to
help me in everything
I do. The literature
is outside of my ca
reer interest in ad
vertising but it has
been positive food
for thought and
helped me in the ana
lysis of myself,other
things and people I'm
involved with. I
think it's the best
major because it can
get you more places,
but to .each his own
on this topic.
haven't done so al
ready, get involved.
It's good for the-
school and it'll pay
off a lot more than
you expect in the
long run.
The next question
about my major is a
tough one. I don't
think very many peo
ple are cut out to be
English majors\ and
even in my senior
year I had doubts a-
bout myself. The
strongest point here
is that there are
courses in communica
ting and critical
I feel that Grading
has changed most in
my four years here. I
have trouble (like
most students and a
lot of the faculty)
in figuring out how
I'm being evaluated
in the Competence
Curriculum. Maybe 10
years down the road
this will be one of
the best educational
plans, but I can't
help feeling that I
lost some part of my
education by being
caught up in the
transition of cur
ricula.
If. I could change
one thing about my
college career I'd
redesign some of the
required courses.
Several of these
courses have not and
probably will not be
of any help to me,yet
I had to buy the
books and attend
class an3Tjay. Maybe
someday, through the
results of the 312
evaluation question
naires fve filled out
in the past four
years, there will be
constructive change
in this area (with
all due respect to
Sir Kenneth Clark).
If I had it to do
all over again you'd
better believe I'd be
here at Mars Hill-I'd
do it just ^Like I did
it except I would

time to request some
thing (from the Phy
sical Plant) be done
about your leaky
shower within two
weeks and that it
wasted time to pursue

leave Mars Hill hav
ing no regrets except
that I wish I had

a freshman instead of
waiting for my junior
year.
Finally, I'd like
to thank a few people
who have helped me
get through college.
First of all I'd like
to thank Mrs. Godwin
who helped me in my
college career more
than she'll ever know.
My special thanks to
Mr. Mahy, Dr. Hart,
Dr. Ihrig and David
Mathews for being
"the very BEST". I'd
like to thank Dr.
Leininger for helping
me to- question ev
erything including
the eternal question
of whether the chair
I'm sitting on is
"real" or not.Lastly,
I'd like to thank Dr.
Schubert (Uncle Joe
to all of us English
majors)who has taught
me that two wrongs
never make a right
but three do and the
nine parts of speech:
nouns, verbs, pro
nouns, adjectives,
adverbs, splitting
infinitive headaches,
dangling participant?
conjectures, and pro
positions (roll over,
Chomsky).
