'Page Six, THE HILLTOP, Friday, Novembtjt Mars Hill Education Department Certified Teacher education programs at Mars Hill College have again been approved by the State Department of Public In struction according to Dr. Vernon Chapman, chairman of the department. The college was notified of the latest approval in a recent letter from A. Craig Phillips, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The letter noted that the teacher preparation classes, including two new programs, were approved for the maximum five years. Mars Hill’s teacher education pro gram was examined by a state visitation committee, composed of 18 members of schools, colleges, and universities from across the state, as well as Department of Public Instruction officials, late in the spring semester last school year. “This is of vital importance to us,” states Dr. Chapman. “Our education department is not only one of the largest Food Services Committee: Working For You By JEFF MORGAN Last year, a food services committee was formed to look into student com plaints regarding cafeteria operations.
