I be meeting with him over t couple of weeks, making are of the student concerns : problems of the past, ipus Lighting major problem on campus lack of lighting in specific Either the lights are not ve or there need to be some Working with Warren the Director of Residential ng, we made this problem to the administration. Dr. ” ”■ has assured us that some has been specifically what you wish. You have to be consistent in your words and ac tions. Be a person of integrity- someone others find trustworthy. Learn to like and respect yourself; if you do not believe in yourself and feel good about you, no one else will either. You convince peo ple of your worth, whether positive or negative, through what you say and what you do. Sometimes it is important to be apart from others. If the crowd is doing something wrong you should not follow. Even fun wrong is still wrong. Remember the things call ed Principles that your parents taught you? They are still impor tant to your development as a per son of integrity and trustwor thiness. Peer pressure must be challenged and overcome. That can be hard because we like to take the easy way sometimes it is easier than the right way. But in spite of the pressures from others the person of integrity goes the right way. Occasionally you need time to be alone. It is good to sit back and get a perspective on which way you are going. Are your directions and priorities still straight? Are your relationships healthy and beneficial to your growth? Take time to be by yourself and get in touch with your inner feelings and understandings. Personal time like this can make you a better person. You can make a difference in your life and in the lives around you. Have enthusiam for life and what it offers. There is so much waiting for you; get involved in life and go for it!

Dr. Bentley is currently monitoring the menu provided, making sure that it is suitable. Mr. Huntley has been extremely cooperative in listening to us, and is trying to improve the cafeteria’s service. -Student Weight Room The upper weight room in the gym is not a facility which provides the necessary equipment for a good workout. Many of the weights have been stolen, and the equipment left is that which has been discarded from the athletic weight room, downstairs. Dr. Coates has generously given of his time and energy to try to make the student weight room more feasi ble. Equipment is currently on order which should make for at least a decent facility. Also, Dr. Bentley has assured us that he will try to put some money into the im provement of the weight room. From this brief list you can easi ly see the improvements that are being made, and our involvement in seeking such improvements. We have seen the need for change, and have gone through the proper channels to accomplish our goals. If there is something you want done or changed, you have to get off your butt and get involved. It is very annoying to me when people say that the SGA is not doing its job, or how something is not the way they think it should be. We are not simply an extension of the administration-we are working for the students, making the ad ministration aware of your con cerns. Life is full of choices, and here are yours: Either become in volved in what is going on around you, or sit quietly in your ig norance!

A message from The Advertising Council and The International Youth Exchange. WHte: YOUTH EXCH/VNGE ^eblo, Colorado 81009 Uncle Huey Reports Welcome back to the wonder ful world of Mars Hill College! After a lengthy Christmas break you’re all ready to get back to the ole books, huh? Who are you kid ding? After only a couple of days most begin the traditional com plaints of too much homework, not enough sleep, and terrible food. Don’t you ever feel like you’re in a rut? Make a conscious effort this semester to enjoy studing and going to school. After all, who in their right mind would pay $6,000 for continuous “suffer ing and pain?” The basketball team needs your support! They worked in the off season to develop their talents Thus far, the majority of the basketball games have gone down to the buzzer. They may not. have won them all, but they were ex citing. Try to attend all the basket ball games you can to support the team and to watch a good game. Ok all you ^ § !! % § in Myers who don’t have enough sense not to park along the curve out front. That is a NOT PARK ING zone!! Meaning you are not supposed to park there. It is both a danger and a nuisance to drivers along that stretch of road. I have a suggestion for security: Make it a $10 fine for anyone to park there doubling the fine for each repeat offender. Maybe that would have some effect! Physical Plant, you did a pretty good jog of clearing the ice off the sidewalks and roads following the recent snowfall. Please be sure however, that when you scrape the sidewalks, don’t remove the top layer of snow, leaving the bottom layers of ice as a serious hazard Also, special attention should be given to the road behind the Townhouses and around the curve at Myers. Speaking of ice and snow, how cold and icy does it have to get before some consideration is given to the well being of the students, it was -20F with the wind-chill factor at one point, and ice covered the roads and sidewalks. Every school in the area was closed except Mars Hill. Some students survived the elements and made it to class, only to discover that the teacher had cancelled the class. I hope that ad ministrative gods will give this some serious thought in the future as they watch us from above scampering around in the ice and cold!! Star Picks for this issue are Robin Cole and Brend Honeycutt.
