Student Fees Bill
The main goal of SGA this
past semester was to pass a pro
posal that would improve stu
dent life. 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

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. "If not,

Bailey Mountain Cloggers Travel
MOUNTAIN DANCING GOES
TO FLORIDA!
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.
