The official student newspaper of Mars Hill College Mars Hill, NC 28754 Issue 8 1991 Fall Semester SGA Report Extended Visitation, Added Fees Proposed from the 1991 Fall Semester Student Government Report by Jonathan McCoy, SGA Presi dent Several proposals have been approved by the SGA Senate this past fall. These proposals are now being reviewed by President Bentley. Here are summaries of the major proposals. Improve Information to the Students To make the student body more aware, there is a proposal for broadcasting a radio station in the cafeteria during the dining hours. News and school events would be broadcasted at 11:30 am, 12:30 pm, and 5:30 pm on Monday and Thursday. Extended Visitation To better improve dorm life as well as offer more time for co-ed study, the following visitation schedule was approved: Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 8:00 - 11:00 pm 8:00 - 11:00 pm 8:00 - 12:00 pm 8:00 - 12:00 pm 8:00 - 11:00 pm '992 LAUREL NEARLY READY; 1993 tMJREL UNSURE fro m Hilltop reports final pages of the ’92 Lau- '61 K final pages ui me uau- ^h^ave been sent to the printer, thg delivery of the book around pf®'irst of May is assured; but tiipSpects for the 1993 edition of Ca,,'^ollege yearbook are far less (.

In cooperation with Student Activities, the focus be came Student Fees. On Febru ary 10, 1992, the approved proposal will be made to the Mars Hill College Administrative Council. The heart of the proposal is in raising student fees from $250 to $300. The additional $50 would be divided between the office of Student Activities ($35) and the Student Government Association ($15). The goals for the proposed bill are: For Student Activities - Free Admission to The Loft, lower ad mission charge for major con certs, additional entertainers such as comedians and magi cians, and the development of special lectures on such topics as Alcohol Awareness and Sex ual Harassment. To determine what topics and entertainers to consider, there will be polling of the student body. The total money increase for Student Ac tivities would bring the Program ming and Entertainment Budget up from $29,550 to $64,550. For Student Government - Im provement of services such as adding new refrigerators for rental, increasing the loan ca pacity of SGA, and co-sponsor ing the Spring Formal. An increase in SGA recognition with activities and speakers would continue on page 2 photography, shooting some of the faculty. A major portion of the picture-taking was done by John Campbell, director of media relations, and myself. Of course, the individual portraits for the ’Classes’ section were done by professional photogra pher David Williams of Raleigh." According to Smith, the book is being printed and bound at the Herff Jones Yearbooks plant in Montgomery, AL. It is scheduled to be shipped to the campus dur ing the last week of April. Distri bution to all students will begin immediately upon arrival. Smith said- „ . ^ The Board for Student Com munications Media usually se lects editors for the Laurel, the Hilltop and Cadenza, and a man ager for the radio station in late spring. The call for applications is publicized through the Com munity Announcer and other means several weeks in advance of the deadline. “I really hope someone ap plies to become editor of the 1993 Laurel," Smith said.

Shelly Dunnavant staff writer While most of the students of MHC were relaxing at home and enjoying their Christmas breaks, sixteen dedicated clog ging team members went to Florida to perform. From Janu ary 5 to January 12, the Bailey Mountain Cloggers traveled the state of Florida to give the in dustrialized state a taste of the country. They performed in the morning, afternoon, and/or eve ning with barely enough time to eat or sleep, not to mention travel to their next perfor mance. However, the cloggers were able to take some time off to enjoy Disney World and MGM Studios. Also, one of the shows the cloggers put on was at Church Street Sta tion, which in itself is a main attraction. Most Floridians chuckle when they hear the word "clog". Why? Possi ble because they have never seen or paid attention to the skill and coordi nation this sport re quires. Because of hours of practice each week, the cloggers have won the Na tional Freestyle Competition for 1991. Also individual efforts have paid off in past years, and this year as well. Kelly Nichol son and Kevin Parries received scholarships from the Clogging Hall of Fame, while Parries was chosen as a member of the All- American team. The Bailey Mountain Cloggers have worked hard for all the accom plishments and achievements and deserve our recogriition. Here, the Bailey Mountain Cloggers perform for a crowd at a Florida nightspot.
