cern by calling dorm meetings and al
lowing the girls to express their opin
ions. O’Brien has assured the girls that
several steps have been taken to tighten
security. Changing the combination
locks and enforcing rules to keep dorm
doors closed will deter the prowler,
O’Brien believes.
“When we catch this man we won’t
deal with him ourselves. He will be ar
rested,” stated O’Brien.
“The girls are concerned about their
safety, but not concerned enough to lock
their doors or close a locked door,”
stated Teresa Hutchinson, Resident Di
rector of Edna Dorm. She feels that if
the girls wish to have tighter security.
their cooperation will greatly help in that
effort.
R. J. Cutshall, Mars Hill Police
Chief, says that the police have not been
asked by any college officials to keep on
the alert for the prowler, but if they see
anything happening they will act.
“I believe that security on campus can
be improved and I wish that Campus Se
curity would be more efficient on patrol
at night,” Cutshall said.
Campus Security now consists of four
officers since the resignation of Michael
Faires, director of Safety and Security.
Campus Security will be checking the
girl’s dorm doors every hour after the
doors are locked at night.
Jim Fish, Director of the Physical
Plant, said, “Campus Security is going
through some reorganization since
Mike’s departure and there will be
tighter security checks.”
The Campus Security’s duties include
emergency service, locking of college
buildings at specific times, transporta
tion to the bus station and airport, mail
delivery, and keeping the general order
on campus.
Charles Ball, a senior campus security
officer, says that Campus Security is do
ing the best job that they can while ful
filling their various duties.

Derwin Williams, David

' for the office of SGA presi-
1983-84 school year. By pre-

Another important aspect he’d like to
improve is the court system. This, he has
learned, is a major concern of many stu
dents. He’d like to make it more effec
tive and just.
Smith wants to contribute a positive
attitude to the students and the Mars
Hill community. He would like to
“make people proud of Mars Hill and
get everyone unified for a single pur
pose.” To do this. Mars Hill needs to
become a closer-knit community. To do
this Smith believes that more community
and school spirit is needed. Having some
type of required community meeting for
students might help generate the togeth-
“1 have the knowledge and experience to make
SGA a credible organization on the Mars Hill cam
pus.”
- David Wachter
erness and unity that Mars Hill is lack
ing.
Smith believes he’s the best man for
the job because he has many leadership
qualities and abilities. He strongly be
lieves in Mars Hill College and what it is
doing. He knows many people from a
variety of backgrounds and he tries to
get to know everyone and become their
friend. He has a well rounded view.
Smith considers himself moderate,
leaning more towards liberal. He tries to
stay open to all views. He is very liberal
towards open dorms as he feels there
need to be more. He is, on the opposite
end of the scale, very conservative con-
“If I am elected, I won’t be there for me, I’ll be
there for the student body.”

cerning the rules for vandalism. Smith’s
main goal is to be “a public servant” -
one who is there to meet the needs of the
people.
Derwin Williams would like to give
students a better idea of what’s going on
around campus. He would also like to
see that all the money being used by
SGA is being accounted for.
According to Williams, SGA needs a
person who is “experienced as a leader,
someone who can keep everything work
ing in the right direction.” He believes
he has these qualities. A key is good
communication between the SGA office
