New Trustees Installed
Mars Hill has announced they will in
stall four new trustees and five who have
served previously on the governing
board during the board’s semi-annual
business meeting here today.
Management of the college is legally
vested in its Board of Trustees, which is
composed of 36 North Carolina Baptists
appointed to four-year terms by the
Baptist State Convention. The board
delegates authority to the president for
the operation of the total college pro
gram in keeping with established proce
dures and policies. The president is the
official liaison between the college and
the board.
The board approves all major policy
decisions, adopts official budgets, and
passes on other major matters of college
business. It holds two regularly sched
uled business meetings each year. In De
cember, newly appointed members are
welcomed, new officers are elected, and
other mid-year business is conducted. At
the other meeting, which is held at com
mencement, the board approves the
coming year’s budget, approves new fac
ulty and staff appointments, and com
pletes the current year’s business.
All of the nine appointee’s terms will
begin officially on January 1, 1982. The
four who are new to the board and will
be serving their first term include the
following:
Reverend Ronald O. Brown, pastor of
the Cumberland Avenue Baptist Church
in Asheville, is a graduate of Appala
chian State University and earned the
Master of Divinity degree from South
eastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

temperature level of 55 degrees Fahren

winter and absorbing it in summer. The
underground location also offers light
and sound control features essential for
the operation of a media center. Because
of the supplementary solar heating sys
tem and the underground location, con
struction costs were lowered, the costs of
heating equipment installation and
operation were lowered, and the costs of
maintaining the building will be low
ered.
The building will house materials and
equipment for communitcation instruc
tion, ultimately providing a wide range
of services from basic references to ad
vanced production designs. Photograph
ic darkrooms, a video studio, film edit
ing room, audio studio, projection
room, conference rooms, and media
classrooms will provide facilities for stu
dents and faculty to increase their skills
in the rapidly growing area of graphic
communications. Six Associates of

Andrew V. Behl
Andy Behl, a senior sports medicine
major from Springfield, Va., has been
named the editor of the 1981-1982
Hilltop.
The move was made official by the
college’s Board for Student Communi
cations Media following Chris Clontz’s
resignation. Clontz cited academic stu
dies and his membership on the baseball
team as taking more time than he
originally anticipated.
Behl has been active at Mars Hill in
both sports medicine and drama, having
appeared on stage in college productions
of “Six Characters in Search of an Au
thor,’’ “The Tempest,’’ and more re
cently “Guys and Dolls.’’ He has served
as trainer for the football team, both
