As students at Mars Hill College, we
share a common concern about the
amount of money spent for our educa
tion, and are aware that this feeling
prevails among the rest of the student
body. Yet, what would be the best way
to make the students at Mars Hill feel
better about the high cost of their educa
tion? Through a comparison of various
North Carolina colleges and universities
we have discovered information which
should positively influence the student
body’s attitudes concerning the high cost
of their education. As students
ourselves, we realize that the general at
titude of an entire student body is not
easy to change. Thus, our aim is to pre
sent information which would positively
benefit the students without creating
more negative feelings.
One of the major complaints by
students at Mars Hill College is the
food. Yet, in comparing Mars Hill to
various other colleges (large and small),
the service maintained by Epicure
Management rates above that of most
other schools. The cafeteria at Mars Hill
.serves around 2,800 meals a day at a
charge of 89.6 cents per meal. Thus, the
student cost of $2.69 per dqy is below "
the actual plate cost per day of $4.29.
This is like receiving one free meal a day
or paying $18.83 a week for 21 meals. In
addition. Mars Hill offers a salad bar,
study breaks, special meals, stage bands,
hoe-downs, etc. This is the only school
the Epicure Management service works
which requires a special meal once a
week. For example, at Montreat
Anderson College the students pay $3.62
per day for their meals, yet they don’t
get any special dinners, etc.
Most colleges operate their food ser
vice under some sort of meal plan, and
Mars Hill is no exception. All students
living on campqs are required to take
their meals in the college cafeteria.
Students pay $700 per year for 21 meals
per week; and according to Dr.
Hoffman, Dean of Academics, “The
room and board at Mars Hill is the
cheapest in the whole state.” Operating
under such a plan serves to lessen the
board cost for the students. For exam
ple, at Wake Forest University meals
may be bought individually or under a
board plan. The approximate cost for
meals bought individually is $725-$825
per year. The board plan will reduce this
cost by one-fifth. At North Carolina
State University all meals must be pur
chased individually because the school
does not offer cafeteria service except
for athletes. This ends up averaging a

Ray, Goodman and Brown Bring
Soul Sound March 6
On March 6th, 1981, at 8 p.m. Moore Auditorium will be filled with some of the
smoothest sounds around by RAY, GOODMAN, and BROWN. For over a decade
as the Moments, Harry Ray, A1 Goodman and Billy Brown have wowed audiences
with their selection of velvety smooth soul smashes like “Love on a Two-Way
Street,” “Sexy Mama,” “Look at Me,” and “Girls.” On their newest Polydor
release, RAY, GOODMAN AND BROWN has some of the best sounds produced.
“Special Lady” is the first hit single from the new album which includes such songs
as “Inside of You,” “Slipped Away,” “Thrill/Friends,” and “Another Day.”
From the beginning, RAY, GOODMAN, and BROWN were an instant success,
scoring 16 charted singles along with their ten albums. Throughout the years, the
group has performed with some of the leading names in Soul and Rhythm and
Blues. “You name them, we’ve played with ’em” states Harry proudly. “Earth,
Wind and Fire,” “Supremes,” “Temptations,” “Smokey Robinson,” “A1
Green,” “Millie Jackson,” “Teddy Pendergrass”
RAY, GOODMAN and BROWN’S appeal is not limited to just the United States.
Their recordings have been equally as successful in England, France, most of
Europe and Japan. The popular trio once recorded a French version of their hit,
“Look At Me,” which proved to be an international sensation.
So if you want to come down and hear some great music, you won’t want to miss
this concert. RAY, GOODMAN, and BROWN’S music has aching harmonies,
luscious melodies and a soulful delivery designed to melt the heart and break down
all resistance.
Tickets will cost $3.00 for students.. .$5.00 for everyone else. The tickets are on
sale March 2nd through March 6th in the Cafeteria at Lunch and Supper time.
