Cafeteria
Dedication
Draws Near
By Kelly McElven
Hilltop Assistant Editor
Pittman Dining Hall will be dedicated Satmday, Dec. 4
at 1:15 p.m. in a long-awaited ceremony unveiling Mars Hill
College’s new cafeteria.
The $2.9 million structure will be 95% completed at the
time of dedication, according to Dr. Fred Bentley, president
of the college, and will be ready for use when students return
from Christmas break in January.
The ceremony will feature the college concert band and
choir along with responses from Dr. Bentley; Dr. Earl
Leninger, vice president for academic affairs; students;
faculty, and members of the boards of advisors and trustees.
Tours of the building will follow the ribbon cutting.
Mr. and Mrs. James Pittman, for whom the cafeteria is
named, will be present for the official opening they helped
make possible through generous donations to the college of
both money and time. The Pittmans have played an active
role on the board of advisors and trustees and have served
as primary recruiters for the college.
“Over a period of years, they have been great supporters
of this college in every dimension,” Bentley said. “Their
loyalty has been tremendous.”
The new cafeteria includes an amphitheater for students
and outside patio dining that will make Pittman a “new focus,
providing a place for students.”
The next step in the “Campaign for the Future” program
involves turning the current cafeteria into a new library.
Selective demolition will be^n in January with volunteer
labor from members of the Mars Hill College football team.
The money that would have been used to hire
construction workers for demolition has been set aside for a
new press box in Meares Stadium.

Remember These Days?
The days of record heat waves are all over for this year. Everyone
is looking forward to winter’s best (see page XX for Mars Hill’s
upcoming events). This picture, from way back in mid-Septerhber,

Financial Aid Director To Retire
From Staff Reports
The one person that
almost everyone at Mars
Hill College has come in
contact with will be leaving.
Ann McAnear, who has
been director of financial
aid for eight years, wall take
an early retirement in
December.
A reception in
McAnear’s honor will be
held Dec. 15 in Peterson
Conference Center from 3
to 5 p.m. All students,
faculty and staff are invited
to the event.
To take on the enormous
responsibility, Ruth Anne
Angle from Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University in
Daytona Beach, Fla. was
chosen.
Many people have
commented on McAnear’s
retirement.
“Ann McAnear has
been a pleasure to work
with,” said Rick Hinshaw,
dean for admissions and
financial aid. “Her sense of
ethics and her commitment
to financial aid, to Mars Hill
College, and to her
colleagues have been an
mspiration to all of use who
have worked with her.”
“Ruth Angle,” Hinshaw
continued, “embodies many
characteristics that are
necessary for being a
successful financial aid
administrator. She is
experienced and dedicated
to her profession. She will
show the same commitment
to Mars Hill College.”
McAnear’s career in
financial aid has spaimed 18
years at three different
institutions. She served as
financial aid director at
Montreat - Anderson
College from 1975 until 1980
and in a similar capacity at
Warren Wilson College
from 1980 until she joined
the Mars Hill st^f in
November 1985.
Her extensive
knowledge of the field,
which is heavily affected by
complex state and federal
regulations has been
developed through
participation in state and
regional professional
organizations as well as
through the duties of the
position she has held. Over
the years, she has been
chairperson for various
committees of the North
Carolina Association of
Student Financial Aid
Administrators including
those dealing with high
school and state relations,
publicity and publications.
and program and site
selection. She served during
1990-91 as president of the
organization which includes
145 post-secondary
institutions (private and
public) throughout the state.
McAnear estimates that
she has taken part in more
that 500 “Parents Night”
programs during her career,
usually making
presentations and
answering questions
concerning financial aid.
She has also participated
extensively in workshops
and similar programs for
training financial aid
administrators, see Page 4
