Cafeteria
Changes
Add Spice
To College
Life
By Rhonda Baitty
Hilltop Staff Writer
Mars Hill’s cafeteria may not have its
new external appearance yet, but internal
improvements have been made. This year.
Mars Hill College along with Marriott have
given the students more spice in their
cafeteria life.
There is no longer the worry of missing
a meal because of inconvenience and short
meal periods. The cafeteria is offering
continuous service from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Monday through Thursday and from 7 a.m.
- 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. According
to Mike Nagorka, new manager of the
cafeteria. Mars Hill’s continuous meal
service is the first one in Western Carolina,
and it has set an example for other colleges
and universities around the area.
Another program which Nagorka is
excited about is the “Just Say Yes”
program. With this program, students are
allowed to get whatever food they want.
Nagorka said, “Just help yourself to it.” No
longer do the students have to stand in the
long lines to get another hamburger.
Cosmetic improvements of the
cafeteria have been made also. To add life
to the cafeteria, the staff has added
tablecloths. In addition, the presentation
of the cafeteria has changed. For example,
now the dessert bar is “serve yourself.”
For the first time in the school’s history,
the college has ^ven the students the
flexibility to choose a meal plan. For many
students, this has been long in coming.
Now, seniors can choose from 7, 14, or 21
meals per week, while juniors and
sophomores can choose from 14 to 21
meals per week. Juniors who live in the
Dixon-Palmer apartments or the
Townhouses have the option of choosing 7
meals per week. Freshmen are required to
purchase 21 meals per weak. The flexibility
gives commuters the chance to eat on
campus, and according to Nagorka, saves
students money.
All of the flexibility is credited to the
Smart Card ID’s. The Smart Cards have
been out for three years and are computer
chips on regular ID cards.

The end of summer is fast approaching. As the weather gets
cooler and fallen leaves become more evident, the mountains
will burst into color. This artistic shot of fallen leaves was
taken by staff member Belinda Edwards.

“I don’t think they will ever watch TV
or movies the same way again,” Dillingham
said. “They have a new respect for the
actors.”
The two minutes of the movie came
from an entire day of what Dillingham
called “a process of hurry up and wait.”
Since the doggers acted as the backdrop
for the actual scene, they had to endure
shooting the same scene several different
times with various changes.
as extras for a scene featuring a clogging
team at a festival. The doggers worked in
90 degree plus heat all day for two minutes
worth of footage, according to Richard
Dillingham, director of the Bailey
Mountain doggers.
“It wasn’t all the fun and laughter you
see on television,” said Tim Merrill, team
member. “There is an incredible amount
of stress on everyone. People have to really
act in order to pull it off. It got old very
quickly.”
